Group retreats offer an experience—private ones deliver results.


A personal retreat isn’t just a break; it’s a space for true transformation. I combine evidence-based psychotherapy, wellness practices, and healing modalities to guide you through the equivalent of two months of therapy in just two days. Your place, your time, your goals—my expertise, fully dedicated to your well-being.

Real Change
In Only 48 Hours
What if you could fall asleep and wake up in a world where everything finally works the way it should? A place where stress dissolves on its own, decisions arrive right on time, and life actually meets your expectations. Good news: that place exists. Bad news? There’s no instant teleportation.

But there’s a way to get there—if you have the right map. You’ve already optimized your business, delegated tasks like a pro, and perfected your systems for pretty much everything except one critical area: your own mental state. Turns out mental well-being isn’t something you can outsource or automate. And if burnout is knocking at your door, maybe it's time to listen—before it kicks that door down completely.
A real retreat is like hitting a powerful "edit" button on your life. It’s like experiencing a trauma—in reverse. Instead of breaking you down, it builds you up. One weekend, and your life splits neatly into "before" and "after." But rather than painful flashbacks, you get unexpected bursts of clarity and joy.
Success throws plenty of obstacles our way—but there's really just one major blind spot. We get exactly how to scale a business to match market demands, but reshaping daily life to actually match our own needs? That’s where things tend to get messy. And what happens when a crisis hits and quick decisions are required? Or when exhaustion piles up, and taking a step back isn’t just a luxury, but a necessity?

Six months in therapy or a week lounging on a beach aren't always realistic solutions. What you really need is a precise, powerful reset—a private retreat built specifically around you. Unlike the cookie-cutter retreats out there, a weekend with your own personal therapist is tailored down to the smallest detail. Think of it as your shortcut to finally stepping into a world where things actually feel right.

Retreats That Come to You

Picture this: you need a flight to Rome. You check the site—and the only option flies to Milan, on Fridays, and you have to bring your own snacks. Not exactly ideal, is it? But that's exactly how most retreats are set up: a bunch of people with completely different stories, all squeezed into the same
the same generic wellness script. Not my style.

My retreats? They’re built around you. I custom-design each one to meet your actual needs. You pick the city, the hotel, even the vibe. I bring the therapy to your door. Then we move through three powerful phases: a full detox (screens, stress, sugar—all of it), a guided mental reboot to reset your nervous system, and a deep recharge of your inner battery. It’s not just a change of scenery — it’s a clear, direct path to your personal goals.
  • The Clinical Approach

    A retreat with a personal therapist isn’t some campfire singalong—it’s a professional intervention in soft clothing. I work with just four retreat formats: psychedelic, wellness, mindfulness, and restorative. Not because they sound good on a flyer, but because they’ve been shown—again and again—to ease anxiety, burnout, depression, trauma. Real tools, not trend-chasing.


    Each format hits the brain differently. Maybe it’s Bufo toad venom that rewires your perspective in minutes. Maybe it’s a full day of silence that shows you more than a thousand words ever could. Either way, the science holds: your default mode network chills out, neuroplasticity ramps up, and something recalibrates. And with a trained therapist beside you, that shift becomes more than just a moment—it becomes a path forward.

  • Personalized Care

    At the heart of every retreat lies a thoughtfully engineered framework, which includes:

    1. A prep consultation
    2. At least 6 hours of one-on-one therapy per day
    3. Wellness practices tailored to your preferences
    4. Unique experiences based on the chosen retreat format
    5. An integration session

    The result? In just one weekend, you don't just achieve meaningful results—you also experience genuine warmth, care, and human connection.

The Road to Here

I’m Sevda Leavy —born in Baku, raised in a family where medicine was basically a second religion. Grandma was the nerve guru, Mom fixed everything else, and my aunt handled emotional CPR like a pro. It was a full-on dream team. But even with all that expertise around me, life still managed to knock me sideways.


So I went searching. I pulled from U.S. universities, Tibetan monasteries, and Peruvian shamans—building my own healing toolkit piece by piece. After exploring 45+ countries and just about every method out there, one thing became clear: there’s no one-size-fits-all. Over the past 15 years, I’ve been refining my own kind of alchemy—a flexible, holistic framework for lasting well-being that actually adapts to real-life challenges. Still haven’t found the philosopher’s stone—but I think I’m getting close.

Private Psychedelic Journey
Bufo Retreat in Mexico

Bufo Alvarius—sounds like a Marvel villain or some underground DJ, right? Turns out, it’s just a chunky toad from the Southwest whose venom sends your consciousness on a full-blown rocket ride through the cosmos. The magic? A compound called 5-MeO-DMT. Researchers at Harvard and Johns Hopkins explain that it slows down neural networks linked to your sense of self, letting your consciousness to roam free across the universe.

And it only takes 15 minutes. One deep hit of that dried venom smoke, and suddenly you’re staring into the fabric of existence. No jungle. No guru. No puke bucket. That’s why some call it the "executive smoke break" — you walk in, smoke up, briefly touch eternity, and walk out. But here’s the thing: catching a glimpse of enlightenment is one thing. Actually using it? That’s the real work. Turning that flash of insight into real-life growth isn't a trip—it’s a process.

Psychedelics can crack open the universe—but without real support, that flash fades fast. You need prep before, grounding during, and smart integration after if you want it to stick. That’s how insight becomes transformation. Skip that, and you’ve just got a wild story for brunch.

The Science of Psychedelics

woman's retreat in arizona

Modern life’s got women juggling five full-time roles—boss at work, angel at home, Insta-ready 24/7, and emotionally available to everyone at all times. Of course it leads to burnout, anxiety, chronic fatigue… the whole mess. Oh, and fun fact? Morgan Stanley says by 2030, 45% of women 25–44 will be single. No pressure, right?

That’s why a Sedona detox retreat hits different. A full-body, full-soul reset out in the sacred lands of the Navajo and Hopi. Ritual meets real tools. Nature meets neuroscience. And your personal therapist? She’s there with you, helping you breathe, reboot, and maybe even feel open again. If the world won’t pause, maybe you should.

Tailored transformation
100% custom retreat

Online entrepreneurs live in “should’ve done it yesterday” mode. Big decisions, zero buffer, and stress levels that would make a Navy SEAL sweat. When a crisis hits, there's no time for twelve sessions of soul-searching or a month-long deep dive into your childhood.

So forget the jungle retreats, monk chants, and plane tickets to Bali. I bring the retreat to you. No flights, no incense (unless you're into that), just two days of focused, strategic work—your city, your schedule, your breakthrough. No fluff, no delays—just answers, fast. When time’s tight and the stakes are high, this is how we cut through the noise.
