Let's heal
Join me in Arizona for my signature 5-DAY, PRIVATE (1:1) SOMATIC HEALING RETREAT.
Discover the FIVE shifts necessary for women to reclaim their power after burnout, breakup or breakdown.
You’ve mastered the art of holding it all together. Your calendar is full. Your reputation, intact. To the outside world, you’re accomplished, articulate and deeply capable. But inside?
There’s a quiet fatigue that no sleep seems to fix. A pressure behind your chest that you’ve learned to breathe through. Moments when you're alone and the silence feels louder than it should.
This retreat is for the woman who’s wondering: “Why do I feel so lost… when I’ve done everything right?”
Whether you're healing from heartbreak, exhausted from always being “on,” or simply sensing that something inside you needs care — this is your invitation to pause, reflect and reset.
Let’s begin with honesty.
Not performance.
Not productivity.
Just presence.
Shana Dee
Founder, Heal with Shana
I work with women who are ready to stop coping and start healing.
My approach is deeply personal, somatic-based and rooted in one simple truth: You can’t think your way out of emotional exhaustion. You have to feel your way through it.
I’m a certified Integrative Somatic Practitioner and Life Coach with 17 years of experience holding space for women navigating emotional collapse, divorce, burnout and identity shifts—especially those who have already “done the work,” but still feel stuck.
The women I support are not broken. They’re just tired of carrying it all alone.
My 5-Day, Private (1:1) Healing Retreat is my signature offer. It’s a fully personalized, immersive experience designed to help you reconnect with yourself and return ‘home’ —emotionally, physically and spiritually.
This blueprint reflects the core shifts we explore together.
Take your time with it. Let it land.
Shift One: Success Doesn’t Immunize You from Emotional Collapse
You’ve done everything right. You’ve built the career. You’ve achieved the milestones. You’ve been strong, consistent, reliable—for everyone.
But even success has a shadow. Because no matter how much you’ve achieved, you’re still human. And being human means you will inevitably feel. You will get tired. You will hurt. You will carry more than you were ever meant to carry alone.
What makes this harder for high-achieving women is that your pain often goes unseen. You’ve trained yourself—and everyone around you—to believe you’re always okay.
So when emotional collapse starts creeping in, it doesn’t look like a breakdown.
It looks like:
Not crying, but also not feeling joy
Numbness masked as“being fine”
Over-functioning at work while completely disengaged at home
Feeling disconnected from your body, your needs or your desires
The truth is: success has likely helped you survive. It gave you focus, a role to play, a purpose to chase. But at some point, it stopped protecting you…and started hiding you. This shift begins when you allow yourself to say: “I'm not okay. And that’s allowed.”
Not because you've failed. But because you're ready to stop performing healing and start experiencing it.
Shift Two: The Hidden Cost of “Pushing Through”
If you’re like most women I work with, you’ve mastered the art of pushing through. You show up when you’re grieving. You lead when you’re tired. You love others deeply—even when you feel hollow inside.
You’ve been taught that resilience means getting back up quickly. That strength means not showing the cracks. That rest, softness, and slowness are luxuries you haven’t earned yet.
But here’s what rarely gets said: Pushing through doesn’t heal. It hides. It delays the breakdown, but deepens the disconnection. Eventually, the coping becomes the cage. Waking up tired no matter how much you slept.
THE COST OF PUSHING THROUGH OFTEN SHOWS UP QUIETLY, LIKE:
~Losing interest in the things that once brought you joy
~A body that feels like it’s holding more tension than you can release
~Emotional walls in relationships that feel impossible to name
~The haunting feeling that you’re living, but not fully alive
You begin to confuse survival for wellness. And your nervous system doesn’t know how to turn off the alarm—because you’ve never taught it how.
This shift invites you to pause and ask: “What would happen if I stopped pushing? What might I finally feel… and release?” It doesn’t mean quitting. It means choosing to move from force to flow.
And that’s where healing begins—not with more effort, but with surrender.
shift Three: Why High Functioning Women Struggle in Love & Intimacy
You can lead teams, close deals, and navigate pressure with grace—but when it comes to love, things get… harder. Not because you're broken. Not because you’re too much or not enough.
But because emotional intimacy often requires the one thing high achievers have been trained to avoid: vulnerability.
You’ve been rewarded your whole life for being composed. For being the fixer, the steady one, the strong one. You learned early that you’d be respected for controlling outcomes, not for surrendering to them.
But love doesn’t operate on achievement. It doesn't respond to credentials, discipline, or doing all the right things.
Love requires presence. Love requires softness. Love requires a nervous system that feels safe to open. And if that safety doesn’t exist—because of past betrayal, abandonment, heartbreak or never having been truly seen—your body will protect you…by keeping connection out.
THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE:
~Choosing emotionally unavailable partners
~Struggling to let someone all the way in
~Feeling unseen or misunderstood, even in long-term relationships
~Being hyper-independent but secretly longing for support
~Staying in “safe” dynamics that don’t actually nourish your soul
This shift is about recognizing that your struggle with love isn’t a flaw—it’s a survival strategy. One your body created to keep you safe.
But what protected you before… may now be what's preventing your healing. Healing in this area isn’t about “learning to love better.” It’s about feeling safe enough to love fully.
And that begins by reconnecting with the parts of you that were told love wasn’t safe in the first place.
You're in the right place.
Shift Four: The Nervous System as the Missing Link in Your Healing
If you've already done the therapy…
Read the books…
Worked with coaches…
And still feel stuck—you're not alone.
This is the point where so many women come to me and quietly say: “I know I should be okay. But I’m not.” That’s not because you’re broken. It’s because you’ve been trying to heal through your mind, when the wound lives in your body.
Here’s what most healing approachesmiss: Your nervous system doesn’t respond to logic. It responds to safety. And if your body doesn’t feel safe (emotionally, physically, or relationally), it will stay in protection mode no matter how much insight you gain.
THIS SHOWS UP AS:
~Feeling disconnected from your body or emotions
~Getting triggered even when you "know better"
~Feeling tired but wired, anxious but numb
~Struggling to access joy, rest, or true presence
~Repeating emotional patterns you thought you’d outgrown
This is why somatic healing—work that involves the nervous system, breath, body and subtle energy—is so essential.
WHEN WE INCLUDE THE BODY IN THE PROCESS, SOMETHING PROFOUND HAPPENS:
~Patterns begin to release
~Emotions move through without needing to be fixed
~You stop analyzing your pain—and start alchemizing it
~The body softens into safety instead of clinging to survival
This shift changes everything. It turns healing from an intellectual project into an embodied experience. One that’s felt, lived, and lasting.
You don’t need more willpower. You need a nervous system that finally feels safe enough to let go.
Shift Five: What Real healing Looks Like
Real healing doesn’t always come from doing more. Sometimes, it comes from finally giving yourself permission to stop. To stop performing. To stop fixing. To stop trying to hold it all together just a little bit longer.
True healing isn’t just about taking time off—it’s about being held in a space that’s safe enough for your body and soul to soften.
Most high-functioning women don’t need more advice. They need space. They need presence. They need depth.
That’s why I created this retreat. It's a deeply personal, somatic-based experience designed for women who are ready to reconnect with themselves on every level.
This isn’t a group retreat. It’s just you and I, working together privately for five days in a luxury setting, surrounded by nature and stillness.
YOU’LL RECEIVE:
~Two hours of dedicated 1:1 healing sessions with me each day
~Breathwork, somatic release, nervous system regulation and intuitive reflection
~Optional additions like equine therapy, sound healing and massage
~Space to rest, integrate and rediscover your emotional center
~Your own room in a serene, wellness-focused resort in Scottsdale, Arizona
YOU’LL LEAVE WITH:
~A deeper sense of inner peace and clarity
~The ability to feel and trust yourself again
~Practical tools to continue your healing at home
~A renewed connection to your feminine power, purpose and intuition
This experience is unlike anything else, because you are unlike anyone else. And your healing deserves that level of respect and devotion.
your next step
If this has resonated with you—if you've felt something soften, or stir, or say “this is what I’ve been looking for” - I’d love to offer you a private conversation.
No pressure. No expectations. Just an honest, grounded space to explore whether this is the right next step for you.
I currently open a limited number of these retreats per month.
(This is a free hour-long call to explore your emotional needs, your goals and whether this experience is in alignment with what you’re seeking.)
You’ve spent enough time surviving. If you’re ready to truly come home to yourself, I’d be honored to walk that journey with you.
