Family Recovery & Empowerment Intensive

A Transformational Retreat for Families Navigating Narcissistic Abuse, Addiction, Grief, Chronic Illness, Conflict, or Emotional Disconnection

This is Not Just a Retreat—It’s a Reset.

When a family reaches a breaking point—whether due to narcissistic abuse, emotional manipulation, addiction, chronic illness, grief, or just constant conflict—it’s more than stressful. It’s destabilizing. Our Family Recovery & Empowerment Intensive offers a safe, structured, and healing space to help families begin again—with clarity, nervous system regulation, and the tools to move forward.

This Retreat is Ideal For:

-Families discovering the presence of a narcissistic parent or a family member struggling with addiction or self-harm
-Families navigating grief, chronic illness, or a major diagnosis
-Households in constant conflict that don’t know how to stop the cycle
-Families where someone is depressed and no one knows how to help
-Parents (also teens and children) trying to start over after divorce
-Any family member needing to find their voice
-Adults or children experiencing chronic physical issues (like IBS or autoimmune disease or tummy aches) often linked to emotional trauma and/or anxiety

What Makes This Retreat Different?

What sets this retreat apart is the integration of deep emotional healing with personalized mind-body care in a serene, nurturing environment. Led by Level 3 certified and well-seasoned Neuro-Emotional Technique (NET) practitioner with decades of helping individuals and families find peace and connection, Dr. Star Bailey, DC (www.mindbodychiro.com) this retreat supports each family member individually, without telling anyone how they “should be”, but advocating for their best life regardless of the environment they are in—addressing not only their emotional challenges but also the physical and behavioral symptoms often linked to chronic stress, such as autoimmune issues, chronic pain, fatigue, and addiction. NET literally rewires how the brain responds to emotional triggers, shifting participants out of fight-or-flight and into a state of calm, clarity, and connection—an effect demonstrated in functional MRI studies. This neurological reset creates the foundation for lasting transformation within the family system. Exercises are done to reveal subconscious belief systems, traumas, or resentments which are holding back understanding between family members as well as improving self-knowledge. Optional healing modalities such as (the amazing) Blissful Goat Yoga, bodywork, and functional medicine support further integration, making this retreat a truly holistic experience.

The home is designed for both comfort and joy—with plenty of room for solo reflection or family connection.

The Power of Goat Yoga

Goat Yoga at The Blissful Goat is more than a novelty—it’s a joyful, lighthearted bonding experience that helps people reconnect through laughter and play. When family dynamics have been strained or heavy, Goat Yoga provides a moment of levity and shared fun. Not only are the goats masters of nervous system regulation, but they have a way of helping people laugh at themselves and with each other, making it easier to break the ice and begin rebuilding trust and connection. It’s a truly unique way to start the healing process—especially when things have been difficult for a long time.

Foundational Physical Healing: A Required Starting Point

Before we dive deep into emotional work, we begin with the body. At Star Stays Retreat Getaways, every participant receives a full physical healing evaluation and treatment. This isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Why? Because emotional healing can’t happen when the body is in survival mode.

Each retreat includes a personalized assessment of:
- Hormonal balance
- Neurotransmitter function
- Organ health and detox pathways
- Chiropractic structure and nervous system regulation

This integrative approach helps clear the path for real emotional breakthroughs. Your body is your foundation—and we make sure it’s ready to support the transformation you came for.

Dr. Star Bailey, DC, brings decades of experience as a holistic chiropractor, Level 3 certified NET practitioner, Applied Kinesiology and Quantum Neurology nervous system rehabilitation practitioner, functional medicine practitioner, certified QSCA Law of Attraction based Life coach and mind-body expert to help guide each guest into sustainable wellness—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Important Note

This retreat is not a replacement for therapy, although it is a beautiful adjunct if you already are receiving it. The practitioner is not a licensed therapist, but an experienced Mind Body healer (NET doc) and certified Law of Attraction based Life Coach. NET supports the brain in resolving trauma patterns beneath the surface, complementing traditional therapy. This is a nervous-system-first, empowerment-based experience that helps each individual move toward lasting change. While you may be here for your relationship issues, many guests come with both emotional and physical stressors—chronic IBS, autoimmune flares, or persistent pain—and discover how addressing the emotional components have a profound healing effect. Children with chronic tummy aches, anxiety, or illness benefit deeply from this work, especially when healing happens as a family.

Investment

4-Day Intensive for whole family: $5799, with goat yoga $6199. (Any individual healing evaluations and treatments over the included 3 have additional fees)
Includes all core healing work, housing, planning, and coordination
Add-on services of massage and reiki available upon request for additional fee.

This retreat is not just a financial investment—it’s a meaningful commitment to transformation and an investment in you and your family’s future well-being. If you’re considering this experience, you’re likely ready in the ways that matter. You don’t have to force emotional breakthroughs on your loved ones or come in with perfect self-awareness. The beauty of Neuro-Emotional Technique is that the body leads the way—gently uncovering and releasing what’s been held beneath the surface to allow profound realizations and shifts in thinking. Even the most skeptical or shut-down participants begin to shift, because the body doesn’t lie—and healing happens whether you’re “trying” or not.
