WHO RETURN TO NURtURE IS FOR
Return to Nurture is for women who desire to live fully and wholeheartedly into their truthful selves. If you’re reading this right now I fully believe you’ve been Divinely guided to lean into the possibilities and get curious on whether RTN is in alignment for you. You’ll feel the heart nudge of being guided to RTN and it will be so loud, you won’t be able to ignore it. This is your sign to full send with faith!
My retreats are a playground of possibilities, transformation, personal and professional development for women who are ready to expand and learn. I’m in my 21st year of entrepreneurship where I’ve led and coached over 600 women to build businesses, cultivate connections and live into their most authentic and loving selves. I have a heart for empowering you to share your gifts and connect deeper to your soul service purpose. As women we have many roles. I am a single mama to 3 adult daughters and I’ve been working to provide for my family. You may be single, partnered, working, retired, mama, pet owner, care giver, entrepreneur, the list goes on, but at the end of the day you are a woman who needs nurturing, love, care, to be seen and valued for what you offer day in and day out.
Chances are you’re a giver… The more retreats I lead, the more often I see women learning how to receive and pour into their own growth and development, so in turn they can show up more wholeheartedly for themselves, their loved ones and their responsibilities. Prioritize your own personal expansion and you will inspire doors to open and opportunities to unfold. What is for you will never pass you by, but you’re called to inspired and brave action. You’re called to trust in the vision on your heart. It’s there with purpose! It starts with your YES to the unknown. Are you willing to take a brave leap of faith and say yes to Return to Nurture? I’ll be here guiding you every step of the way. You’ll experience the most life changing support system of like hearted women. I look forward to co creating this experience with you!
To the mystery and magik (with a k!),

About mt shasta
Mount Shasta is a 5D landscape multiple healing vortex sites. Around 60% of the area is protected forest land. It is a revered landscape known by locals as one of fresh mountain air, sunshine, verdant forests and natural freshwater springs. The region was created with volcanic forces that are still active to this day.
Connecting with the purity of the natural elements is a true gift and one that nourishes the human soul. So many of us are cut off from the natural world in today's modern world. Shasta returns us to our center through nature.

Women From Previous Retreats Are Saying…
“When I went there Costa Rica on KJ’s retreat, I was unsure, excited, nervous… BUT, my most valuable and beloved memories EVER… they were created on this retreat. I learned to trust my inner strength, I also learned to trust women again. I keep in touch with most everyone to this day. My room is plastered with framed photos of this retreat. It’s the best decision I ever made… to say “YES”, to myself. If you are considering a retreat with KJ, in my opinion… JUST SAY YES, and let your spirit and heart out to play!!”
Lisa L.
“KJ is safe space, especially the safe space to believe in yourself, to remember your worthiness, and to courageously shine your unique light. Since meeting KJ I have healed and grown thanks to her ability to see and bring out the best in me, and as I learned at the Shine Solstice retreat, she has the same effect on groups! It was miraculous and wonderful to see us twenty women from different backgrounds at different stages in life gel and blossom over the week through movement sessions, guided introspection, fun group adventures, and restorative downtime— all sprinkled with KJ’s spontaneous inspirational channelings… (I freaking love when these drop!!). For me, the Shine Solstice retreat was a revelation of the power of centering on and amplifying all that is true and beautiful within each of us. I left feeling more connected to my authentic Self, more able to trust feeling good, and with so many amazing new soul sisters!! P.S. I think KJ might be an inner-child whisperer because it felt like being at an extended sleepover by the end.”

“The friendships, insights and experiences from this retreat completely changed my life. Any retreat with KJ will connect you with the most beautiful, authentic and expansive friendships… And what an incredible gift. The daily schedule was so well balanced with group connection and freedom to explore the land. All the spaciousness allowed me to really slow down time, get familiar with my own heart and spend quality time with mother nature. Not exaggerating when I say that when I came home…I felt like a completely new woman.”
Hannah B. T.
Saying YES to this retreat will be life changing for you.
It’s a big deal to commit to one week of focused attention time for yourself. And woman, let me tell you… you are worthy of every little ounce of your time and energy. You give endlessly to others. What if you turned that energy inward, poured into your spirit and filled your cup until it was overflowing so much you could give tirelessly to your family, your loved ones, and your life? Your experience is entirely up to you. You set the intention of what you want to experience and decide to have an open heart and open hands to what this time has for you.

KJ The Rooted Yogi
Dear Woman,
It’s been twenty years of my entrepreneurship journey. I said yes to an opportunity in 2004 and was scared to try. I knew that if I didn’t want to pursue this business I didn’t have to, but I decided to try. I will be forever for my first “yes”. It changed the trajectory of my life. In my wildest dreams I couldn’t have imagined landing where I am today. For 16 years I was full time in the skin care and cosmetics industry. I trained and coached over 600 people in this time to build and grow their businesses. I had a brief stint practicing prenatal yoga in 2002 when I was pregnant with my first daughter. It wasn’t until I tore my ACL/meniscus twice on my right knee in 2009 and 2012 that I started my consistent yoga practice to heal from my surgeries.
Teaching and leading retreats was never on my radar until I took a leap and committed to my 200 hour YTT. I graduated that in February of 2017 and started teaching immediately. I was juggling two businesses and in December 2019 I decided to go full time yoga. As you can imagine it’s been a wild journey as my decision came right before my marriage came to an end in January of 2020 and the pandemic hit. My life has consistently brought me to my knees, but I get up over and over again. I will always alchemize my pain into my purpose.
In September 2021 I hosted my first international retreat with my dear friend Anna Honeybee at Danyasa Eco Retreat in Costa Rica. It was a dream and I knew I needed to go back! Almost three years later I am with more life experience and wisdom in my tool kit. Everything I’ve navigated has been more than worth it to get to this point in time where I get to guide the most empowering, loving and open hearted women on Return to Nurture Women’s Retreat.
My 20 years of time, energy, break downs and break throughs have all been the reason I am here today. I will be forever grateful to every yes I’ve said to grow and transform in ways that can’t always be put into words. It’s a feeling. I could sit here and write all day about how your yes will change your life, but the only way to truly know is to say yes, full send with faith and feel what you feel when you arrive at Mt. Shasta.
I am here to support you every step of the way. I am with you through the process leading up to the actual retreat and with you the entirety of the retreat. You can count on me to ease your worries and encourage your dreams. I believe in you wholeheartedly. You are here with deep purpose and I will empower you to NURTURE fully because that’s what you are meant to do! Thank you for trusting me. I see you❤️
Always in your Corner,
KJ

I wrote this poem in honor of sisterhood:
Come sit at the table sister
We’ve prepared a place for you
Drop your guard
You’re safe here
Every one of us worthy
Not because of what we do
Because we are born worthy
The world’s weight has been on your shoulders
For quite some time
Too long
Are you willing to lay down your judgements
Of yourself and others?
Are you willing to forgive yourself for times you thought you knew but it turned out you didn’t?
Are you willing to look into your sisters eyes and see that you are her and she is you?
Sister you are welcome here
Sister you are needed here
Sister you are seen, safe and loved here
Are you willing to take a leap of faith into the unknown where there could be more beauty than ever before?
