About the Retreat
There is something special about a warm, white sandy beach with crystal clear water that invokes relaxation, renewal and restoration.
During my 15 years of treating women in my private practice, I have noticed a trend: women often struggle with self-care. For some, they do not know what self-care practices to use. For others, they feel guilty for doing anything for themselves. In the past few years, I have changed my treatment to include what I call “intentional self-care”. Intentional self-care includes eliminating guilt associated with taking care of yourself, reframing your definition of self-care and incorporating self-care into your daily routine. The benefits of intentional self-care are priceless. Women who embrace this idea feel better about themselves and actually have more energy to be able to give to those in their lives.
Indeed, your daily self-care practice might not include white sandy beaches everyday! This reTREAT is a way to treat yourself while learning more about self-care in a beautiful, picturesque setting.
By investing in yourself and attending this retreat you will experience:
- Daily, engaging activities focused on intentional self-care facilitated by a licensed therapist
- Welcome cocktail reception
- Group experiences to increase mindfulness and learn more about yourself
- Privacy of a single room at the all-inclusive Azul Beach Resort in Negril (limited swim suites available)
- Relaxation, restoration and renewal during your free time
- Connection with other like-minded, professional women
- Special treats selected by your hostess throughout the retreat

Joy has a strong commitment to self-care and coined the term “intentional self-care” that she weaves into her clinical work with women and into her daily life.
