Meet Your Retreat Host
My name is Michelle O'Connell
I am a certified hypnotherapist and the founder of Ashes to Ascension Hypnotherapy. My work is rooted in emotional healing, subconscious reprogramming, intuitive insight, and deep respect for the courage it takes to heal.
I believe transformation happens when you finally feel safe enough to stop performing and start listening to what your soul, body, and subconscious have been trying to tell you.
My role is to hold a grounded, compassionate space where you can release what no longer belongs to you and reconnect with the calm, clear, empowered version of yourself that has always been there.
This Isn’t Just a Vacation
This is a sacred pause from survival mode.
A space where you can finally exhale.
Where healing is not rushed.
Where you are supported emotionally.
Where you are allowed to rest without earning it.
This retreat was created to help women reconnect with themselves in a deeper, more meaningful way.
A deeply nurturing retreat for women who are ready to rest, reconnect, and heal at the root.
Set in the peaceful beauty of Black Mountain, this intimate healing retreat is designed to support inner child healing, emotional restoration, nervous system regulation, embodiment, and feminine reconnection in a safe, supportive, women-only space.
Held in a beautiful mountain setting, this experience offers the perfect balance of private rest, meaningful healing work, and natural beauty. Each woman will have her own private room, while group activities, healing sessions, and gatherings will be held separately so your sleeping space remains a place for peace, quiet, and integration.
