A Soft Landing for Your Nervous System

Now offering nature-rooted day retreats for women and entrepreneurs seeking rest, regulation, and reconnection.

Willowbrook Wellness Day Retreats

We believe healing does not happen through pushing harder. It happens when the body finally feels safe enough to soften.

Our retreat days are an invitation to step away from the noise, the pressure, and the constant doing. Return to yourself through rest, breath, movement, connection, and the grounding presence of the land.

 

Held on our peaceful farm along Bass Lake, these intimate day retreats weave together the calming rhythm of the water, the steadiness of the earth, open skies, gentle forest trails, nourishing practices, and meaningful community.

What to Expect

Our retreat days are intentionally designed to nourish the nervous system and support deep restoration, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

 

Throughout the day, you may experience:

  • Gentle movement

  • Guided breath and meditation

  • Grounding practices in nature

  • Meaningful conversation and community

  • Time by the lake to rest, reflect, and reconnect

  • Nourishing lunch, snacks, and refreshments

  • Quiet moments to simply pause and breathe

Held by Water & Land

There is something deeply regulated when you’re near water. The gentle movement of the lake, besides the open fields, and the quiet rhythm of the farm all invite the body to slow down naturally.

 

At Willowbrook Wellness, the land itself becomes part of the experience. You are invited to walk barefoot in the grass, breathe deeply under open skies, rest by the water, and remember what it feels like to simply be.

This retreat is for you if…

  • You feel emotionally or physically overwhelmed

  • You are craving rest that actually restores you

  • You long to reconnect with yourself

  • You are navigating stress, transition, grief, burnout, or change

  • You want to slow down and feel grounded again

  • You simply need a day to breathe

 

No experience needed, you are welcome exactly as you are.

Your Invitation to Pause

This is not about becoming someone new. It is about remembering the parts of yourself that have been waiting for space to breathe. You do not need to earn rest. You do not need to wait until burnout to care for yourself.

Hello, I'm Gerda

I am the heart and host behind Willowbrook Wellness.

After years of believing healing meant doing more, a season of forced rest changed everything. I realized my calling wasn’t to push or perform — but to create soft, nurturing spaces where others could slow down too.

As a holistic wellness practitioner trained in grounding techniques, EFT, and NLP, I now guide women and entrepreneurs back to themselves — helping them regulate their nervous systems and feel safe again in their own bodies.

Here on Willowbrook Farms, I host gentle experiences rooted in nature, presence, and care.
