EmBODY Confidence Retreats and Events
Come exactly as you are and leave feeling more like your authentic self
At EmBODY Confidence, I’m proud to bring meaningful, healing-centered events to the Lancaster County community.
I believe healing can be deeply transformative in one-on-one spaces like therapy or coaching, and that coming together in community enhances our ability to co-regulate, feel supported, and remember that we are designed for connection.
I offer women’s retreats, networking opportunities, workshops, and more to create spaces where people can grow, feel seen, and heal together.
Sometimes you need more than an individual appointment
Therapy and coaching can be incredibly meaningful, but there is something different about gathering in community.
Sometimes you need to get out of your usual routine, make something with your hands, hear someone else say, "oh my gosh, me too." Sometimes you need an afternoon where nobody is asking you to be productive, where you aren’t responsible for anything or anyone but yourself.
Sometimes you need to remember that your life is happening right now and that you deserve to prioritize yourself and your own needs.
EmBODY Confidence gatherings offer a chance to pause, slow down, and finally listen to yourself again.

She Rises: A Body Liberation and Self-Love Retreat for Women
A day-long retreat designed for women who give endlessly to others and are ready to reconnect with themselves. Through rest, reflection, and empowerment, this retreat offers space to release self-doubt and rise into self-love.
Feedback From Attendees
“I came across this one-day retreat for helping professionals by chance and decided to sign up as a way to take care of myself and make new connections. As someone who is more introverted and wouldn't normally join a group activity like this, the host and space were both extremely welcoming, as were all the participants. The organization and format were so well thought out with a wonderful combination of informal group discussions and time to share, self-guided activities, and mindful moments of movement and meditation. I came away from the experience feeling calm and refreshed with some new ways to think about how to "fill my cup" and take care of me at work. This experience exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who tends to put others before themselves.”
- Replenish Retreat Attendee“Truly the best day, thank you times a million, you bring the best energy and attract such wonderful people, it's such a pleasure to know you and get to be in your orbit!! This was so needed and such a special, fun, and healing day!”
- She Rises Attendee“Every retreat with Jess is absolutely wonderful and exactly what my soul needs each time! The women I have met are also amazing!”
- She Rises Attendee“Jess's events are so thoroughly considered and planned. She makes sure there is space for anyone.”
- She Rises Attendee“Thank you for the diverse activity options. Some were about goals, some about positive self talk, some about taking a break, some about putting a pretty image on a part of our bodies that needs love, etc. Found that very valuable.”
- She Rises Attendee“This was such a fun day! I am always nervous to attend events and have never felt more at ease during a learning experience. It was refreshing!”
- Nourish Your Neurodivergence Attendee“Truly no notes, it was such a thoughtfully planned day!”
- She Rises Attendee“I really don't have any feedback for what could be improved as it was so well thought out and organized. I like knowing exactly what to expect in new situations and your intro packet and all the information provided was perfect!”
- Nourish Your Neurodivergence Attendee“Everything was amazing. If there’s any feedback to give, it’s that I just wish it had been longer because I didn’t want to leave!”
- Replenish Retreat Attendee“I am very intentional about keeping weekends free for family but I committed to the retreat with Jess and am so grateful that I did. Every little detail was carefully thought out and added to the overall feeling that I was "heard" and "seen" at this event. I know that I can engage (on my own) in some of the activities that were part of the retreat but the time, gentle facilitation, and safe space allowed for me to find calming and a total system reset. I look forward to attending more retreats.”
- Replenish Retreat Attendee“Exactly what I needed to reset!!!'“
- Nourish Your Neurodivergence Attendee“I truly had such a wonderful time today. I feel less "heavy" than I did when I got in my car this morning. Thank you so much!!”
- She Rises Attendee“Thank you for creating such a safe space where we can come together to laugh, cry, learn and create while building connection.”
- Warming Up Attendee“She Rises is something every woman should have the chance to experience. Jess creates such thoughtful, intentional retreats where everyone feel truly safe, seen, and validated from the moment you arrive all the way through the event, and the feelings carry over even days later. I’ve attended three She Rises retreats so far (the first time not knowing a single person and coming into the area from a decent distance, out of my comfort zone but I am SO glad I took the chance!) and each one has been unique, meaningful, and incredibly healing in its own way. You really get a chance to slow down, honor your feelings, connect with others or take time for yourself. In a world that feels very loud and often overwhelming, it's absolutely a place of refuge and safety. If you’re unsure about going, I can say without any hesitation: don’t be. Jess has created something really special at EmBODY. I always leave feeling a deep sense of community, comfort, and emotional release, and I'm already looking forward to the next one.”
- She Rises Attendee- She Rises Attendee“During the She Rises retreat, Jess creates a wonderful environment for all- where everyone is welcome and everyone is seen and heard. I loved being a part of a community of like-minded women and taking time out of our busy schedules to put our own needs first. I highly recommend working with Jess and being a part of her retreats. I would definitely come back again!”
- She Rises Attendee- She Rises Attendee“Jess creates such a welcoming, inclusive space for people from all walks of life. Her retreats are a great way to disconnect and focus on yourself through meditation, activities, and meaningful community. She really emphasizes confidence from within rather than focusing on appearance or weight. I always feel lighter, more confidence and calm after her retreats. Highly recommend!”
