Out of the most challenging times come the greatest transformations. If you’d met me 10 years ago you’d have met a truly different person on many levels. For one: I was in excruciating pain. The irony of this is not lost on me y’all. As a doctor who treats pain, there I was pushing through my pain with a big completely FAKE smile on my face. I was a victim of the “toxic sense of self sufficiency,” that our society applauds.
It all started when, after years of infertility, I finally had my baby. This coincided with me starting in private practice- during an economic downturn. In addition to my stress at work, my amazing baby never slept through the night. I was up with him at night and bright eyed and bushy tailed seeing patients all day. The icing on the cake was that I was not losing the baby weight, so I did the obvious thing: I limited calories and started training for a marathon. Clearly the right choice… If you want to burn out.
Getting the AUTOIMMUNE diagnosis made me realize It was time to start taking care of me. The profound results from going on transformational retreat, with trusted facilitators and like minded women, changed everything. My focus on self appreciation helped me heal my body and my life.
Now I have committed my life to helping women in business to Live Their Optimal Lives! I'm the host of Ladies' Power Lunch, a community and movement for women in business who truly believe that when we support each other we all thrive.
... and meet Your Retreat Co-Leader: gail petrowsky
30 yrs master coach + Therapist
In her own words, Gail shares about herself and her experiences that have led her to be committed to helping others live their optimal lives:
"As a busy mom, wife, and coach juggling numerous clients and organizing six seminars across the country, along with producing CDs, I felt like the energizer bunny, constantly on the go and fueled by sheer determination. However, my relentless pursuit of success came at a cost—I developed an autoimmune diagnosis.
Hitting this figurative wall was a wake-up call. I realized that I couldn't continue to shoulder everything alone. I had to learn the power of collaboration and allowing support into my life. With this newfound insight, I assembled a supportive team and made the courageous decision to take time off.
During this hiatus, I attended retreats held by trusted facilitators and embarked on a journey of healing, guided by grace, self-care, and meditation. Surrounded by a circle of love and engaging in gentle exercise, I gradually shed my old limiting beliefs and, miraculously, healed from my autoimmune condition within six months.
This experience taught me the importance of setting patterns of healing and prioritizing self-care. Even as I continue to thrive in my various roles, I constantly remind myself to nurture my well-being and maintain my energy levels—a vital lesson that continues to guide me on my journey. In our society, the majority of women prioritize caring for others over themselves, often neglecting their own needs. However, dedicating time to self-care isn't selfish; it's essential for personal well-being.
This retreat offers a safe space to address and heal old patterns and wounds, providing non-judgmental support along the way. By taking the time to restore and balance your energy, and through the camaraderie of like-minded women, you'll empower yourself to prioritize self-nurturing. Gain insight into mind-body techniques that promote holistic wellness, nurturing your mind, body, and spirit. Allow yourself to embrace self-love and cultivate the confidence to recognize your uniqueness and inherent worthiness."
Who Will Get The Most Out Of This Retreat?
Are you a woman who is a caretaker?
In your life or in your business are you focused on the wellbeing of others?
Are you a healer? A leader? A coach? A teacher?
Are you a woman who has ever put others first and somehow left yourself behind?
Have you forgotten what fun means to you?
You are not alone. I've been there, Gail has been there. It’s OK. We all make the best of our circumstances.
NOW! This is your opportunity to get back to yourself and recreate your future.
Don't stay stuck in old patterns
Don't stay on the bus to burnout
Don't keep putting yourself last
Don't just do nothing
Don't live less than optimally

DAY 2:
Inside passage
The Alaska Inside Passage is a stunning labyrinth of fjords, bays, and lush islands teeming with wildlife like orcas, eagles, bears, and sea otters. During summer, long daylight hours offer ample opportunities for nature photography, including awe-inspiring sights of 40-ton whales breaching or bubble-net feeding in groups.
Plus we will have our specially curated retreat activities together!
Day 3:
Icy Strait Point Alaska
The ship will be DOCKED from 1:30 PM - 9:00 PM
For thousands of years, the native Tlingit have called this place home. Located near the city of Hoonah, and home to a historic cannery, Icy Strait Point also offers travelers the chance to view wildlife like humpback whales, orcas, seals, eagles, and brown bears, or to explore monuments to the region's fishing heritage.
Day 4:
The Hubbard Glacier, located near Yakutat, Alaska, is the largest tidewater glacier in North America, spanning 7 miles wide and 76 miles long. Unlike most glaciers, it continues to grow and occasionally blocks Russell Fjord. Cruises offer stunning views as ships navigate icy waters into Disenchantment Bay, where daily calving sends massive ice chunks crashing into the sea. Onboard naturalists narrate this breathtaking experience while spotting whales, seals, and otters nearby. Witnessing Hubbard Glacier’s grandeur is an unforgettable adventure.
Plus we will have our specially curated retreat activities together!
Day 5:
DOCKED 7:30 AM - 7:00 PM
Here's your chance to take a glacial dogsled adventure in Alaska's capital, where cultured sophistication meets the ruggedness of the Last Frontier.
Day 6:
DOCKED 2 PM - 8:30 PM
You've never tasted salmon so fresh. Known as the 'Salmon Capital of the World', Ketchikan is also the ancestral home of the Tlingit people, who have carved the world's largest collection of totem poles. If you're up for an adventure, take a canoe and nature trail excursion through the rain forest or a wilderness exploration followed by a sumptuous crab feast you'll long remember.
Day 7:
Explore Alaska’s Inside Passage, a stunning network of fjords, bays, and green islands teeming with wildlife like orcas, eagles, bears, and sea otters. Long summer days offer incredible opportunities for nature photography, including the unforgettable sight of whales breaching or bubble-net feeding. This protected passage provides breathtaking views and unparalleled encounters with Alaska’s vibrant ecosystems.

I attended the event on collaboration because I am stepping outside of my comfort zone. Life is … all about the collective. And by giving, I am also receiving. I would describe LPL as Energetic, Empowering and Enlightening. As a result, I scheduled Zoom meetings with members, and I have set myself free to receive again. Thanks a million!
-Dee DiFatta
Through this group I've not only grown my business but I've connected with such amazing and inspiring ladies. I consider many of these ladies to be my friends. When I think of LPL: inspiring, friendships, empowering and growth are what immediately come to mind, though I'm not sure any of these words really do justice to how amazing this group is.
