“Anna created a retreat that nourished my body, soul, and spirit.” — JG
“All the way to the moment you part ways, you will be taken care of through every part of your journey.” — SA
“This retreat changed my life! I’ll forever be grateful for this experience” — JG
For 13 years, I stuck with a career in my comfort zone, showing up daily to a 9 to 5 that was sucking my soul out, while secretly dreaming about an alternate-life version of Anna who traveled the world hosting retreats.
I poured over itineraries and jumped at the chance to plan getaways and adventures, knowing deep down that my passion was screaming at me to do this full time.
But I was afraid! What if no one came? What if I lost money? How the heck do I deal with liability?
… so I stayed in my safe zone and let my dreams simmer on the back burner.
Until a car accident changed everything. After a serious injury forced me to slow down, get out of my comfort zone, and rethink every single choice I had ever made… I had a moment of clarity (the kind only 14 weeks in a neck brace can give you). It was now or never.
And, yeah, I made all the mistakes – expensive ones, embarrassing ones, you name it. Someday we can discuss them over charcuterie and gin, but for now, let’s just say that it forced me to create a method that WORKS. A plan that I’ve proudly executed over 20 times, hosting retreats from Sicily to Northern Michigan.
I know The Profitable Retreat Method™ works and helps business owners plan, host, and launch retreats, so I’m betting on it being the right fit.
Join The Profitable Retreat Method™ and you’ll have a full 30 days to see if it's a great fit. If it’s not, just let us know and provide your completed coursework, and you're eligible for a refund.
Here’s the deal – I want you to get results... and that only comes from doing the work.
When you join, you make a commitment to yourself to finally plan a retreat and stop procrastinating. That's why coursework is baked into the guarantee.
If you follow through and don't make progress, you can get a 100% refund within 30 days of your purchase. No awkward convos involved.
I get it! Life can be crazy. That’s why I made the lessons quick and easy to watch, read, or listen to – whichever is most convenient for you. An ambitious learner could complete all of the course work in a week if they wanted to, but you’ll have lifetime access to ensure your completion.
Understandable. A huge reason I created this program was to help you skip the part where you make expensive mistakes, so you can make this work as a profitable leg of your business. The instant you join, you’ll gain full access to the entire program… getting you closer to hosting your retreat. If you follow the steps outlined in the program, you’ll more than make your investment back in your first retreat.
This is such a common fear and something we address head-on in our Marketing module.
First of all, SAME. Everyone makes mistakes when they begin! It’s part of the process… but it doesn’t have to be.
This program was created to help you learn from the beginner mistakes I made so you can skip the hard part and jump straight to rocking your retreat, getting rave reviews, and turning a profit.
Module 3 of The Profitable Retreat Method extensively weighs the pro’s and con’s of working with retreat centers. The big difference is this – Retreat Centers sell to hosts, not guests. While they actively search for hosts to make a commitment to their retreat location, they often put all of the responsibility on the host to get guests to sign up for the retreat. Which can leave you, as a host, in the dark.
