Some of the Testimonials from Retreat in Atlanta October 6-8, 2023



I wanted to express what a great time I had at your event, collaborating with other women while ​expressing our inner creativity. Very therapeutic and fun at the same time.

Loved it! That was certainly self-care, expressing our creativity from within and then letting go, which is ​what I haven’t done in a while, including dancing in that restaurant!

I had a great time! I had such an amazing time! Wellness of body, mind and spirit! I really enjoyed the ​activity and the energy of the beautiful women who attended!❤️ Karen Purvis


What you’ve done has added to the revitalizing my nutritional health coaching business. I substituted a ​store to replace my coaching which I shouldn’t have done because coaching is my purpose and your ​event reminded me that I have to get back to what I was given. Lana Case Tucker


I had an incredible time at the Sistah Strategies retreat! It was truly an amazing experience that allowed ​me to connect with my higher self, learn from our older generation, and discover new ways to ​communicate with our future generations. It was a transformative journey, and I'm so grateful for the

opportunity to express my feelings and grow in such a supportive environment. Trudi Lowery






This was the first Empowered Women's Wellness Retreat that I attended. I found it to be very ​enlightening, as I learned how to get my mind in tuned with my body and soul for self-healing... ​physically and mentally, as well as releasing negative energy through yoga activities. Dr. Dade and ​Dr. Gudger set the atmosphere to be very comfortable for sharing our personal intentions and ​feelings. The weekend was fun-filled with activities that promoted wellness! It was a blessing to be in ​the company of all the Sistahs who were present. So very needed! And lots of fun! I look forward to ​the next Women's Wellness Retreat! Jasmine Ross


From the beauty of the women, to the lessons taught,personal discussions, goal making, teamwork, ​amazing comfort food and with the loving atmosphere itself , this retreat has helped me begin a new ​chapter in my life, healing my spirit, mind, body and soul! It also gave me time and space to learn ​more about myself and how to keep positive energy and also how to clear out negative energy and ​great soothing workouts were also involved. I am looking forward to attending the next one and ​possibly the next one after that! Thank you for hosting this event, for it was very fruitful to my ​present and future- and most of all , Thank You for inviting me! Melba Davis Russaw


Wow it was a fabulous weekend! I felt so relaxed, empowered, appreciated, and loved! I would love ​for Alana to come with me next time. It was a great time. I could have used 1 more day ! Thank you ​Doctors Karen and Dona! 🙏❤️ The house was wonderful! Valerie Toliver
