“Balanced is a reset. It’s for anyone who’s been moving through life on autopilot, craving space to actually feel like themselves again. Shelly, Julie, and Jodi have a way of making you feel held without fixing you. They remind you to love who you are. The whole experience reminded me that I don’t have to do everything alone. Community is so important right now. So is healing and reconnecting with ourselves. I left feeling softer, steadier, and more in touch with myself.”

"I attended a transformative retreat with Balanced Sisters in the fall of 2024 during a pivotal moment in my adult life. Facing numerous unexpected changes last year, I felt vulnerable yet ready to embrace the experience. I sought an opportunity to express my emotions and gain valuable tools for personal growth, and I found exactly what I was looking for! The day spent with the Balanced Sisters team was nothing short of remarkable. I attended solo, without knowing the other attendees, and I fully embraced the day with an open mind and heart. The experience included a blend of small group interactions, yoga, journaling, and moments of both crying and laughing. I left the retreat feeling like I had lifted a lot of weight off my shoulders. It may sound cliché, but I truly felt empowered and ready to take on whatever comes next! I highly recommend taking time for yourself; it’s worth every penny. The sisters are genuine and intentional in their approach, and they have worked together to create this amazing experience. Women there for other women is a beautiful thing! I am already looking forward to attending my next retreat in June!"

I participated in the Balanced day retreat this past weekend and WOW!!!! I was blown away. I am in the process of making a career change and this couldn’t have come at a better time. From the moment I arrived to the moment I left, I found nothing but peace, love and incredible joy. The group of women were so kind and I felt like I fit right in! Jodi, Shelly and Julie made it such a comfortable experience where I instantly felt at ease. Their energy is contagious and such LOVELY humans that I am blessed to now have in my circle. I highly recommend this experience – take the time for yourself. I am already looking forward to the next retreat where I plan to bring my daughters.

I have nothing but wonderful words for the sisters of Balanced. We had the honor of having their excellent gifts at our Women’s Retreat in September 2025 and they definitely played an integral part in the restorative day for women in the behavioral health field. I personally participated in the yoga, sound bath and breathwork sessions and not only was I moved by each experience, I brought home some new peace and a reminder that taking care of me, with the help of these beautiful souls, should be and is a top priority. I know our attendees felt the exact same way. I can’t wait to hire them back for future events. Their authenticity and talents are everything our world needs right now! Congrats on your incredible work, we are all better having you in our community!

I had the opportunity to attend the Balanced "Restore Your Light" retreat on September 17, thanks to a thoughtful friend who gifted me her ticket. She told me she immediately thought of me when she couldn’t go—someone who truly deserved a day to slow down, be pampered, and focus on self-care.
From the start, the experience felt intentional and restorative. Normally, breathwork can be overwhelming for me, often leading to moments of panic. However, the techniques used at this retreat were different—gentle, accessible, and supportive. Instead of anxiousness, I felt calm, grounded, and fully present.
The highlight for me was the sound bathing session. It was deeply soothing, like my body and mind had been given permission to rest and reset. At one point, I felt as though I could easily drift into sleep, yet I knew it was exactly the kind of healing my body and spirit needed.
The team at Balanced created such a welcoming, nurturing environment, and I left feeling lighter and more centered. I would highly recommend this retreat to anyone experiencing burnout or simply in need of reconnecting with themselves. It was truly a gift in every way.
