Your Amazing Journey to Living Marvelously
in Midlife
It’s time to re-emerge into your authentic self!
Venice, Florida
May 4th – 8th
Inn at the Beach
Midlife can be overwhelming. You have spent most of your adult life caring for others and leaving your needs behind.
Now you finally have time for yourself…but you’re feeling lost as to what to do with it.
What does “living your best life” actually look like?
If you’ve found yourself asking “what’s next…” then you’re in the right place.
Your Amazing Journey to Living Marvelously is the midlife retreat you’ve been looking for!
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity May 4th 2023 – May 8th 2023 in beautiful Venice, Florida, this retreat is for those ready to own their power and finally let go of the weight of making everyone else a priority first.
You are at a crossroads in your life…and you need direction for change. You need a fresh start, some “me” time to figure it all out. What better place to do it than a tropical retreat led by certified life coaches?
Imagine…
Take time away from life’s distractions to emerge yourself in a safe, supportive environment for defining your path going forward in body, mind, and spirit—your personal and unique path to wholeness in paradise.
Our promise to you
By the end of this retreat, you will have learned how to co-create a life that provides meaning and purpose in a safe, supportive environment with like minded women that will challenge you physically, mentally, and spiritually.
“You are not getting older, you are gathering speed, and power, and wisdom. It is an honor and a privilege to be here.”
Jann Arden
Experiences during the retreat
Picture This…
A sigh of relief as you arrive at your beach-front boutique hotel. You can already feel the weight being lifted. No one matters but you right now. Your brilliant smile is reflected in the faces of those around you as you’re welcomed with open arms and a special retreat gift package meant only for you…
After check-in, you head to your room, a breath-taking space of serenity and peace. You continue to unwind, as your evening consists only of getting acclimated and spending some time meeting the rest of the retreat group – a small cohort of women just like you, here to recharge and reset.
Your Time Here is Precious…
Your day starts with an energizing morning routine of beach yoga (optional) and a breakfast with plenty of healthy choices.
Next, we will all gather in the common room for a short meditation and then a little housekeeping, such as picking your lunch and dinner choices for the day and signing up for your complimentary 1:1 coaching session time.
Soon after, it’s time for the morning workshop of the day.
Through these morning workshops, you’ll begin to unpack what exactly it means to create the life you want as you move forward into this next stage of life. You’ll soon find yourself with tools, techniques, and resources that will last well beyond the retreat, empowering you to get back to wholeness, own your power, and walk the path intended for you in the here and now.
Then you’ll enjoy a relaxing lunch at the beach, park, or pool (your choice) and a free afternoon to explore the quaint beach town, take a walk in the park, and sit at the beach (the hotel provides chairs, umbrellas, towels, water, and snacks) or recline and read at the pool.
As the day unwinds, we’ll gather at the pool for signature cocktails (alcohol or not – the choice is yours) and group discussion, including the day’s appreciation/gratitude. Together we’ll enjoy a nourishing dinner and then more free time to chat with the other women, watch the sunset, or journal about your incredible day.
You know you’re in the right place now.
A life-changing experience in a tropical paradise away from it all…
Space to truly dig deep into who your authentic self is…
1:1 and group support from those who understand what it’s like to feel lost, wondering “what’s next…”
Guidance as you move forward with direction, purpose, and self-love, ready to navigate through to your best life with confidence…
This moment is yours.
Who are Deb and Laurie?
Deb –
As an Integrative wellness and life coach, I work with women who are ready to redefine their midlife in body, mind, and spirit. I provide a blueprint for creating a healthy, joy-filled and fulfilling future.
I am retired after a long career in the health and wellness professions. I have been a Wellness Director, a Physician Liaison and Integrative Oncology Coordinator for a large oncology practice and a Community Liaison for a company selling Omega 3 health products.
All of these roles reflect in my combined education of a bachelor’s degree in wellness education, a master’s degree in community counseling and a PhD in Metaphysics and suit my lifelong desire to know and understand the Spirit-Mind-Body connection, integrative health, healing and prevention, and how universal laws work in our lives.
My specialties include Integrative Health Care, Mind-Body Healing, Law of Attraction, Universal Laws, Awareness, Group and Individual Coaching. Releasing Limiting Beliefs, and Body-mind-spirit wellness.
Laurie –
As a certified Spiritual Life Coach, an Infinite Possibilities Instructor, and a Dharma Life Coach student (will be certified by the time of the retreat?) , I guide spiritually minded people toward uncovering and releasing the limiting beliefs holding them back from achieving their biggest goals. I use the principles found within my first book- The 5Ls of Living Marvelously – to teach others what it actually means to live a dream life. I also share this guidance through Living Marvelously, a blog I’ve been using to inspire others since 2018.

Over the past two months, Laurie has given me the strength to power through each day living with chronic pain. Little did I know how my negative attutude was holding me back and only contributed to my discomfort. She has taught me that the mind is an extremely powerful thing. Laurie challenges me daily to focus on the positive. She has provided me with valuable tools that allow me to remain positive in the midst of a challenging condition. I highly recommend her should you find yourself stuck and unable to come up with solutions to problems you are facing.
