This is not the type of retreat you attend to escape your life.
It’s the retreat you attend to change your life.
What You’ll Experience
This retreat isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level relaxation.
It’s a powerful container designed to help you unravel old patterns, meet yourself more deeply, and step into lasting change.
Nestled on 26 acres overlooking the breathtaking Brokenback Mountain range, The Reset Retreat offers the space and stillness to unwind, release, and reconnect with your body.
Dr. Katelyn Boucher and Mitchell Masarik will guide you through somatic and energetic practices that rewire the nervous system, anchor you in your body, and dissolve what no longer serves — creating space for clarity, resilience, and renewal.
Retreat Overview
Over these 3 days and 2 nights, you’ll unravel the tension you’ve been carrying, slow down your system, soften into your body, and remember who you are beneath the noise.
Spinal Energetics & Bodywork
Release stored tension, stress and trauma from your body and nervous system through hands-on and energetic sessions.
Somatic Breathwork
Unlock the body’s inner wisdom, unwind protective patterns and release emotions to create more ease and peace within.
Emotional & Trauma Processing Techniques
Experience body -based ways to sit with, move through, and integrate emotions —instead of staying stuck in cycles of suppression, overthinking or overwhelm.
Embodied Movement Practices
Explore movement and grounding techniques that reconnect you with your body and bring awareness into everyday life.
Guided Nervous System Explorations
Supportive sessions to explore your body, emotions, and nervous system at a depth you can take with you beyond the weekend.
Trauma and the nervous system
— Noticing how your body holds and releases stress
Relationship dynamics
— Exploring patterns in how we connect
Boundaries within the body
— Learning to sense, honour, and communicate your limits
Emotional resilience and self-regulation
— Practices you can continue at home
We intentionally don’t share every detail of the retreat. Part of the experience lies in arriving open — allowing what unfolds to meet you in ways you can’t plan for.
Why this works when other approaches haven’t
Most approaches focus on changing your thoughts or behaviours.
And while that can help, it often doesn’t reach the part of you that’s actually driving the pattern.
Because many of the responses you’re experiencing such as tension, overwhelm, emotional loops or shutdown, aren’t conscious choices.
They’re nervous system patterns your body has learned over time.
This work doesn’t ask you to think your way out of that.
It gives your body the space, support, and safety to:
Unwind stored stress and protective patterns
Process what hasn’t been fully felt
Shift out of survival responses into a more regulated and sustainable state
So instead of just coping better,
you start to viscerally shift from within and feel a level of internal ease you may not have experienced in a long time (or perhaps ever).
-
You feel stuck in emotional patterns, stress responses, or old protective behaviours.
You’re tired of holding everything together.
You look like you’re coping on the outside, but inside your body feels tense, overwhelmed, or never fully at ease.
You’ve done the thinking, the learning, the self-awareness,
but something still isn’t shifting and you can feel your body asking for a different approach.You feel the pull to reconnect with yourself, but you’re not quite sure how to get there on your own.
You are craving a supportive space where you can release what your body has been holding onto.
You feel ready for honest, supported emotional work that goes beyond surface-level wellbeing and supports real nervous system change.
This retreat may not be for you if…
You’re looking for a purely relaxing, spa-style escape.
You’re not open to feeling or processing emotions in the body.
You’re wanting surface-level change.
You’re not ready to be gently challenged or meet yourself more deeply.

What women are saying…
“The space felt safe, non-judgmental, supportive, and deeply educational, which allowed for a level of trust that made the experience beyond anything I have previously encountered…”
“As an Occupational Therapist… I do not say that lightly. What she [Katelyn] brings to this space is something I can’t fully quantify or explain. It goes beyond knowledge or technique.”
“You will walk away with a different view of yourself, what you’re capable of, and what’s possible in your life.”
