Two days of transformation

Energy healing, intuitive coaching, and art magic to bring forth joy, peace, and personal strength..

Our Guide: The Polar Bear

Each monthly Determined to Shine retreat is guided by the energy and spirit of a member of the animal kingdom. In December, we're working with the polar bear.

During the retreat, you'll have the opportunity to:

  • Meet your personal polar bear guide in meditation
  • Create three polar bear-themed oracle cards (we'll create new ones each month - attend regularly to build your own deck)
  • Work with affirmations based on polar bear wisdom

Plus, a portion of your retreat registration fee is donated to help polar bear conservation efforts worldwide. Together, we'll be adopting a polar bear, and you'll have a chance to "meet" and learn more about our adopted friend during the event!

Creativity. Spiritual Connection. Community.

It's the Determined to Shine magic formula for joy, and it comes alive at each monthly retreat. Through art journaling, guided meditation, journaling exercises, and a supportive group like no other, you'll find the respite your soul is craving.

Well, hello there!

I’m Ally, and I’ve got your back.

I know that life can be really damn hard sometimes. But the one thing I’ve learned through all of my own struggles?

There actually is a secret to getting through the twists and turns.

Are you ready?

It’s you.

It’s that deep-down, magical voice whispering that there just might be something more than surviving.

It's listening to your soul when it longs for joy. And love. And magic. And silliness.

Consider me your personal guide to all of that and so much more.

I’m a Certified Holistic Life Coach, a Reiki Master Teacher, and an Advanced Crystal Practitioner, among other things. But most importantly? I'm here for you.

I’m committed to creating powerful healing experiences because they changed my life - and you deserve that magical transformation, too. Because there absolutely is something more waiting for you.

And if you’re ready, I’m here to help you find it.
