Speaking around the globe at different conferences in my workshops, and WITH (instead of AT) 1:1 clients, I found myself having the same conversations WITH highly ambitious and highly badass women (like yourself) around these topics:
- I have imposter syndrome: Who am I to launch this program?
- I need more confidence: I want to speak more, now what?
- I am not good enough: I can't do social media. Wait, what's a reel again?
- I need to reinvent myself: I had a 9-5. Now what?
- I am a perfectionist: I can't create a business unless it's perfect.
- I am my worst inner critic (so whenever I fail, I judge myself a lotttt): I can't get up on that stage. No way.
- I want a career/life that I love (but I am not quite there yet even though I know I deserve more): That's only for people in the movies. Not me.
- I want to release/clear negative energy/beliefs no longer serving me (because they're getting in the way of what I want): I am not good enough or badass enough to make money in my business.
- I know that I can do more...be more... embody more... (and I feel that WITH the right container and retreat besties I can do it!): YESSSSSS! I think I can do it!!!!
- And many more...

You're the star on Retreat. Not me. YOU and the soul of your biz.
The Coach's Retreat is like a mastermind + self-healing slumber party + playdate rolled into one. It is a place where you have time and space and a safe container to:
- self-reflect
- (un) learn
- grow
- quantum leap <--client's words
- get growthspired
- eat (yummy food and snaaaacks)
- relax
- feel pampered
- wear your PJs alllllll dayyyyyy
- create and say YAY to your newest life path, and mindset that may just be birthed on retreat
- repeat the above without judgment in safety and quantum leap into the WITH Warrior you always were
In today's modern world of technology, it can be challenging to unplug and just be. Your brain wants you to be in bro-startup-culture-hustle mode: If I just check one more thing on my to-do list...
I am not judging you. I have totallyy been there.
The Coach's Retreat space is an invitation to explore and go inward, unlearn all the bullsh*t you may be carrying from the Patriarchy, society, that one conservative family member, and unleasssssshhhhhh the power of the soul of your biz to create mind-blowing results in your life that are deeply aligned WITH you.
Do you identify as a human who is also...
A healer?
A family constellations facilitator?
A wellness practitioner?
A therapist?
An entrepreneur?
Or you simply just want to shift from inner critic --> inner coach?
Or you have no labels for the work you do? Or the life you want to lead?
Then you and the soul of your biz are invited to play WITH us.

Why Retreat WITH us?
I was in a deep depression for 2 years of my life when I found out my mom had early onset dementia. So I decided to take the following year out and went wayyyy inward. I tried more than 20 different alternative healing modalities and I got certifications in the best practices to become: a certified integrative hypnotist, life coach, happiness coach, Theta Healing® practitioner and instructor, and Family Constellations Therapy Facilitator.
I've also gotten to work WITH and learn from 7 women millionaire coaches along my journey, too.
Of all the work I have done, the most significant transformations have happened on retreat: A dedicated space where every single human wants to grow and do the deep work necessary to grow.
It made sense, I knew the research: Humans long for deep connections, disconnecting from tech and the regular world to reconnect WITH themselves and others. That's where the magical miracles happen.
Ok, also, I've really missed in-person gatherings since the 'Rona happened. Haven't youuuuu, awesome human?

"My weekend WITH Kyla and my fellow WITH warriors was life changing (and I’m not just saying that!). A shift took place during that weekend. There’s something about the level of support and acceptance that Kyla facilitates in her workshops that truly can’t help but change your perspective, and the results we all achieved working WITH each other were often jaw-dropping. And now, even on days that aren’t the best when I’m tempted to revert back to the old life habits that no longer serve me, I really can’t. Something inside of me is just different, and I find myself stronger, more resilient, and more accepting of the present moment and what it means (or doesn’t mean).
I’d also like to say that I find Kyla to be the most attentive host and thoughtful organizer! The location was beautiful, yet still so comfortable. We had gourmet meals prepared by a wonderful chef and there was an endless supply of delicious snacks, teas, and healthy treats (made by Kyla herself!). Yoga WITH Suzanne was the perfect start to the day and truly added to the wellness aspect of the weekend, both physically and emotionally. On a more personal note, I’d like to say that Kyla is one of the most intuitive people I have ever met. She was always in tune with us—checking in to see if we were hungry, tired, or maybe needed a break (yes, letting go IS work!), and she was always there with a gentle voice reminding us to apply what we were learning. She is a true healer, and I feel so fortunate to know her." WITH peace and love, Francesca Astiazaran ~Mom, dog mom, wife to my husband, and professor of English-y things |

"The time spent on the WITH warrior retreat was one of the most magical and healing times I have ever spent WITH a good group of people who were all trying to better themselves.
I was honestly resistant to go at first but I am so happy for the time I spent on the retreat. I wasn't really mentally okay before I went and the experience helped me grow and mature past it. There was always food available and it wasn't all work all the time - we had a little bit of time for relaxation between each event. We also did yoga and there was even a pool! I came out of the retreat feeling confident and stable WITH myself and felt I could tackle life's biggest problems with ease and comfort -something I didn't feel before. The most amazing part of the retreat to me was when we were asking the creator to hear our heart song and the light turned on by itself! I knew in my heart the creator was there WITH us every time we went into Theta but during the heart song exercise it was shown true that the creator was indeed there (!). It was very magical and was mentally and physically healing beyond my expectations. I even found my goal to start my home computer repair business again because of the experience; before I was feeling lost and didn't know what I wanted to achieve, but after the retreat I felt the excitement again. If you want to feel like yourself again or just want to be stronger mentally, the WITH warrior retreat is on the top of my list of mental healing and personal growth experiences. I feel honored that I was able to attend the retreat WITH such a wonderful healer (Kyla) and a group of amazing people that I got to know and bonded WITH during the experience. It was a great WITH warrior retreat and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for growth. Thank you for providing such an amazing weekend --I hope to do it again in the future." ~Keith "The WITH Warrior retreat was a fantastic experience. Kyla did an incredible job of curating the retreat to build rapport between participants and to strike the balance between structure and flexibility to give us the most meaningful experience possible. I feel honored to have met each participant. My partner and I attended the retreat together and grew individually and as a couple. I'm grateful for the time we spent getting to know each other on a new level." ~Noël |

"Kyla’s retreat was an eye opening, safe space for digging into some simple false beliefs that were holding me back and diminishing them. Through workshops alongside Theta healing, things that I anticipated would take years of work to chip away at, were released by the end of the retreat.
I walked away feeling lighter, re-energized for my next chapter of life, and with tools to continue the momentum and work on myself. There is a bond formed with others when you do this work WITH them. We are forever connected and WITH each other in this journey of life. Kyla created and held the space for these connections and vulnerability and I witnessed her in her true purpose and passion on this retreat." |

"Wisdom and peace. Being accepted. Being heard. Being healed. What else would we need to be able to enjoy our lives?
The weekend workshop WITH all these WITH Warriors was one of the best experiences of my life. It was great to take that time WITH myself and WITH Kyla. Kyla is so full of compassion and wisdom - words are not enough to explain. It’s something to experience WITH yourself. The place was awesome, the food was great and I loved the yoga session WITH Suzanne in great scenery and peaceful environment. No pressure to be anything. Just being you. WITH you. The workshops were well organized and easy to follow. The content was gently leading us to the final target of the workshop: balance and happiness. After the weekend workshop I have felt fully empowered, full of trust and no need to worry. Feeling really safe and strong. Being more me. And I just love that feeling! Thank you, Kyla. Thank you, my fellow WITH Warriors <3 ." Carita Savin, Former CEO and co-founder of Huoleti / kindfull.io Mother of three and madly in love WITH my hubby |

"The greatest thing about this retreat was that I could meet awesome people including Kyla. The retreat was a precious time that I could look back on myself, heal my wounds, and get the energy to move forward. And all the people who participated were very helpful and considerate so I could share my own stories and we could empathize WITH each other. I found that just meeting good people and talking to each other could be a great healing point. Lastly, I really appreciate Kyla for giving me this opportunity.
The best thing about being able to do this was letting go of myself because I was tied to the past. Some wounds from the past which I didn't accept or didn't notice kept me from moving forward. Through this retreat, I could look at myself from a distance. And this made me have some space so that I could embrace myself as I am and let my past memories go. Yes. Definitely. I would recommend this retreat! There's little chance to really relax and refresh myself because I am so busy. But during this time at the retreat I could spend real healing time WITH great people. If you want to refresh yourself and get power to move on I would totally recommend this retreat WITH Kyla!!!" |

"So I’ve always been the kind of person to reflect and meditate about my personal life and growth, and always thought this is something I’m meant to do on my own, since it’s about me and no one knows me as well as I do. However there are moments in life when you get stuck or you forget about yourself without really knowing or understanding why or what is happening to you. Why are you feeling or acting in a certain way? This makes you feel like you cannot see the problem and even less so the solution. This retreat gave me the guidance and support I needed to see my life and its problems, past and present, from a distance which made all the difference.
Coming to this retreat I was very nervous, since I have been dealing with so much rejection and lack of understanding from Korean culture and people, and knowing that most of the participants would probably be Korean worried me as I thought they would probably not be able to understand or relate to me, but then I chose to believe that if I opened my heart to them they would see me as a human, leaving all differences and judgments behind and this is 100% what happened! The people I had the pleasure to meet during this time, especially Kyla, not only gave me courage to recognize and accept what was happening to me, they had the patience to give me the space and time I needed to let that ball of emotions I had been holding in for so long get OUT of my system, which felt so incredibly good. I left this retreat filled with the will and energy to say, “It’s okay. I’m in the now where I can focus on healing and living a better, fuller life that I deserve." Hope I get to see all those beautiful souls again, and would love to share this experience not only WITH the people I love, but WITH anyone who might be feeling disconnected from themselves or from the world, as everyone needs and deserves to take time for themselves to feel loved within, and live the life they want to have. So if you are thinking about participating in this retreat, remember you are brave, you are beautiful and if you are here it is because you want it, it’s because you need it and it’s okay to reach out. Do it for yourself." |

"Dear Kyla,
I cannot express in words how much your retreat has changed me, my loving mom and my sister. Knowing you and having attended your workshops, I knew that the retreat was going to be AWESOME even though I didn’t know for sure what a retreat was. I remember once I told you before that for me, I was already a pretty happy person and to tell you the truth, I felt that there was not much more to learn about happiness. When you told me about the retreat I asked myself whom would benefit most? I thought it would be great for people with depression, insecurities and not really for me. Talking to you however made me realize that I was ignoring a big part of my life and cheating on happiness. I was ignoring the fact that I felt sad, insecure about not having good communication WITH my family. And for me to reach the next level of happiness I needed to do something about it (the action part). Then I knew that I could take some big bold action by doing something that I dreaded the most: Invite my sister and mom to come to the retreat WITH me. I have shared and opened up about myself that I’ve not been able to talk to WITH my family for the first time. I learned so much about my mom and my sister and was amazed at how your guidance and the safe space you created at the retreat allowed us to show vulnerability. And not to mention how many incredible, strong women came and got to build a strong relationship WITH each other and WITH ourselves. Every part of the retreat was extraordinary. The yoga, healthy food, workshop activities and the loving safe environment. It could not have been more perfect! We all returned home as different people and I can not say how much my mom’s energy has changed! I can see that she is finally letting go of her past and looking for positive change for herself and our family. One thing I noticed is that she is carrying the retreat’s ecobag to work! We remind ourselves everyday we are WITH warriors and that we have help and support from Kyla and others. Thank you so much for everything!"

I am so confident to say that this retreat will be an unforgettable experience (for you) and I would definitely recommend it to anyone that would like to get some motivation for a healthy and happy life. Even though I had just met Kyla for the second time, I had learned so much from her and from her workshops. Every session was filled with so much energy and passion. I think you will never find this kind of retreat in any other place in the world (!). As I was always busy working and taking care of so many things, I couldn't spend any time on myself and think about my own life. This retreat gave me the chance to self-reflect and understand the different aspects of life. Most of the sessions allowed us to share our own thoughts and feelings-- there was no correct answer. This motivated me to open up about my own struggles to other people and also at the same time listen to their own stories. I could empathize WITH their struggles as I was listening to their stories and this gave me great courage and also guidance to think about my own life barriers in a very different way. I cannot express in words how I felt after the sessions, but I felt so connected WITH the other participants and I just want to keep our relationship and strong connection for my entire life. This was a very valuable experience that I will never forget! Kyla you are such an inspirational person. Thank you again for everything!" |

"I would say the WITH Warrior Retreat was one of the best blessing moments in my life: my soul was fully seen and I have seen others' souls too. We were all raw, free like a butterfly, playful like children, vulnerable and courageous and it would not have been possible without Kyla.
Every workshop was so smooth and beautifully designed. Transformation happens when you start to see your self differently. Some people might question how a 2-day retreat could change a life. BUT I can confidently say that this 2-day retreat was enough for me to reconcile WITH my past, embrace where I am now, and welcome my own future WITH excitement. Kyla interweaves various concepts and theories such as positive psychology, spiritual psychology and existential psychology WITH practical practice beautifully and encouraged us to apply each into our own daily lives. The best part of the retreat was Kyla: Not only did she feed us WITH homemade snacks, but also she nurtures our souls. She is an amazing facilitator: her gestures, eye contact, body language tell us how she deeply cares about every single participant from the heart. She guided us into our own inner journey humbly and gracefully and created a safe container for us where we could nourish our souls. I highly recommend this retreat WITH Kyla if you want to give yourself the best present for your self." |

"I can honestly say the retreat was a gift. I am one of those people who takes the time for introspection and self-evaluation; I always like to know where I am in life. While my life is not what I had originally planned as a 25 year old, I do have an incredible life nevertheless: successful husband, successful children, no dog though! My family is everything to me.
It has not been easy living my life on two different continents (the U.S. and Korea) for the past 5 years, keeping the old fire burning at all costs and developing new relationships and reinventing myself. I have been quite happy and content with who I am, but I always have that inner voice asking many questions, especially about the direction I am taking with my life. Sometimes I feel as if my days and nights are filled with activities. While these things are necessary and fun, I sometimes wonder the value and meaning behind what I do each moment of the day. I have given myself to serving others through philanthropic work for many years now and feel strongly than ever to continue in this work. The WITH Warrior Retreat with Kyla came at a time when I needed a break from my “normal” life and familiar surroundings and people. I met wonderful women from diverse backgrounds and experiences. Each of these women at the retreat opened themselves up at the most organic level such that I was pleasantly surprised by it all. We supported each other during eye-opening workshops. No judgment. Pure acceptance. We learned not only from Kyla but also from each other. Any pre-conceived ideas were stripped away. I learned to be a better person. A stronger person in my own convictions. I feel so revitalized by the whole experience. I know I still have a lot of work ahead of me to figure out the next chapter in my life, but I gained the necessary courage and inspiration from the retreat to move forward. I look forward to gathering with my new friends, so we can lift each other up and utilize all that was acquired and learned to forge ahead." |
