FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

Many of us feel that the world can't live without us for a getaway or even a few hours a month on the phone being coached. And I'm sure you're filled with all sorts of questions, something I like to call "yes, but..." concerns. Let me ease your fears and get you excited about Treehouse Coaching and Treehouse Retreats.

Why should I do this? My life is working, sort of...
We live in a fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled world, and we're rewarded for joining in on the rat race. You can be successful, passionate about your career, and less-stressed. We will work together to help you design a life that works for you - a life where you are every bit as accomplished, but happier, healthier, and more in touch with your inner self.

So, what's up with the treehouses?
Good question! For me treehouses reflect a playfulness, a return to a simpler time in our lives where we could just climb a tree and escape. Sometimes we just need a change in perspective - what better place than an imaginary treehouse to get a new view?

Do you feel the world can't survive without you for a few hours a month, never mind a weekend?
You need to decide that you are worth taking time out for. This time will set you on a path of getting more out of your life. Taking this time will give you the time and space you need to go back to your life inspired, relaxed and focused on what's really important.

Sure, time away is great, but I always seem to fall back into old patterns no matter what I do. How is this different?
What is different is you will have the option to continue the connection with me through one on one coaching, Treehouse Coaching. I will be there, right by your side to help you remember the woman you want to be that's already within you. You will not be going it alone; you will have a support system every step of the way. We will work together to integrate what you learned at Treehouse Retreats into your everyday life.

How can I live without my cell phone, e-mail or the Internet during an overnight retreat?
Rest assured there will be a contact phone number in case of emergency, so not to worry. Unplugging from the technology you are tethered to is part of the process at Treehouse Retreats of helping you to stop dealing with the outside world, and turn inward, discovering a part of you too long ignored. I want to help you discover the quiet within. Technology will be ready and waiting when you leave, but you just might find you look at it a whole different way. You might even turn that cell phone off on your own!

Do I have to be super-fit to come to Treehouse Retreats? I'm not exactly outdoorsy, is that a problem?
Not at all! No skills beyond walking are required, this isn't Outward Bound. I will ask you to be more in your body, but you don't need to be an athlete. We will be taking walks, finding peace within nature, it is all very gentle and relaxing, nothing too taxing will be expected of you.

How will Treehouse Retreats be any different from just taking a relaxing vacation?
Think of it as relaxation with a purpose. Think of it as a vacation with a theme, and that theme is you, and your life. You will come away relaxed, but with a plan for how to incorporate what you've learned into your everyday life.

I live on the West Coast, so Treehouse Retreats are just too far away for me to come. What about me?
I hear you! Treehouse Coaching is done by phone so you're only a phone call away from retreating from the rat race and "re-treating" yourself to a healthy dose of calm, clarity and conscious choices. I'm passionate about helping you be "in your body", even when we're on the phone, so don't' worry, body treatments aren't just for Treehouse Retreat participants! It's all about staying in the present moment, taking a moment to check in with your breath and tension spots, and asking questions that get you out of your head and into your heart and soul. Plus, I often suggest homework that involves being in your favorite nature spot!
