Experience Profound Healing in your own 1-to-1 Private Healing Retreat
Private Healing Retreats are suitable for women who have experienced childhood, relational and birth trauma, and challenges during the perinatal period, or vicarious trauma and burnout in the workplace.
Therapeutic retreat experiences provide a condensed program that fits conveniently into your schedule, minimising disruption to your daily life. Whether you’re balancing a busy work schedule, family life, or studies, the intensive format provides flexibility to fit around your commitments.
Extended and multiple therapy sessions over a condensed time period create an environment and embodied experience that fosters connection and a felt sense of safety, enabling the emotions and nervous system to calm and regulate, gently enabling you to overcome any blocks and fears that may arise, allowing you to establish a deeper level of healing.
Profound shifts in awareness and new insights are encouraged to unfold more naturally, helping you to make sense of your past experiences, resulting in meaningful emotional state changes, cognitive shifts and more positive and hopeful perceptions of yourself, your relationships to others, and your role and purpose in the world.
Phenomenal progress has been witnessed with people attaining significant positive outcomes during healing retreats with Dr Christina.
A deeper level of processing and healing has been possible in the extended therapy sessions which was not accessible in weekly therapy sessions.
Studies suggest that multiple therapy sessions over a shorter period may be more effective than several months of traditional weekly therapies. EMDR Intensive often reduce trauma-related responses and diagnoses for individuals who haven’t benefited from other therapies.
The immersive retreat experience goes beyond standard therapy, offering comprehensive support and a wrap-around service for overall well-being. This includes personalised healing resources, daily check-ins, and a follow-up consultation and review to ensure a smooth transition back into everyday life.
In summary, Personalised Retreats provide a convenient, effective, and comprehensive approach to healing trauma, offering the potential for accelerated and profound progress and support tailored to your unique needs.
1-to-1 Trauma Healing Retreats
Many people feel stuck in regular talking therapies. People are becoming aware of the need to heal trauma held in the body, mind, and at a deeper soul level.
It can be difficult and time-consuming to commit to regular weekly appointments. Trauma Healing retreats provide an effective and efficient way to heal on a deeper level over a shorter time frame.
With 1-to-1 retreats, you also have the added benefit of designing a bespoke retreat just for you which is tailored and adapted to your individual needs from before your arrival, throughout your stay, and as you re-integrate on return home. The privacy of a 1-to-1 retreat also removes the social demands often involved in group healing events.
Book a call today to explore how we can work together. We can begin to co-create a personalised retreat experience that will help you to heal and restore your sense of health, well-being, and wholeness.

My Approach & Perspectives
My unique approach is the weaving together of traditional and innovative approaches in psychology and psychotherapy, with ancient and indigenous wisdom from around the world. I take a non-diagnostic, anti-pathological, trauma-informed approach, standing against labelling and stigmatisation.
As an independent Psychologist, I provide a whole-person, holistic and integrative approach to promote healing and bring an end to human suffering. My services are tailored to meet the needs of those who have experienced trauma of any kind, from the peri-natal and pre-verbal stages of life, childhood adversity, neglect, or abuse, through intergenerational, relational or vicarious transmission.
My offerings are informed by my own healing journey, and the gaps I experienced in health care, both as a person seeking therapies and as a professional providing services within the system. My approach includes adapted, alternative and innovative approaches which re-awaken, re-connect, and re-integrate the body, mind, heart, spirit and soul.
As a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, I have supported thousands of people within Community, Psychiatric & Specialist Trauma Services through the provision of direct therapies, team formulation, consultation, reflective practice, professional training, and clinical supervision.
