HEAL: A Somatic Wellness Retreat

5 days in Tulum for healing, community, and renewal

It’s time to tend to yourself.

Calling all eldest daughters, chronic “givers," and sensitive empaths:

HEAL is designed to help you explore and heal deep-rooted patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the pressures that come with being a high achiever.

Through group work, somatic healing, and time away, you’ll experience transformative healing and return to yourself in a supportive and nurturing environment.

We’ve Thought of Everything -

You Just Show Up

Retreat Facilitator

I’m Katie Bellamy (she/her), licensed therapist, somatic healer, Reiki Master/Teacher, and founder of Bellamy & Associates.

Whether working with therapy clients, offering energy healing, or facilitating transformative group sessions, I specialize in helping people navigate perfectionism, people-pleasing, trauma recovery, and mind-body healing.

With 10+ years of experience helping high-achievers, entrepreneurs, and caregivers break free from burnout and self-doubt, I find purpose in integrating somatic therapy, mindfulness, and movement-based healing to create profound transformation.

Continuously on my own journey of learning, un-learning, healing, and manifesting, bringing this retreat to life is a personal and professional project that connects me to my purpose.

Why did I create the HEAL retreat?

As with most callings, my own personal journey of unlearning the hustle, urgency, and pressure that comes with a constant state of over-giving, high achieving, and prioritizing others over the self informs my work with clients.

While I work with these themes with individual clients now, I’m ready to launch the HEAL Retreat in Tulum to invite this healing to take place in a powerful, grounded, community-centered way.

Through my own healing and development, I’ve recognized it’s time to release doubt and step into a new form of working with clients: through transformative group work, inspiring travel, and deep integration.

I’m looking forward to guiding you through deep group work, somatic practices, and restorative experiences, helping you reconnect with yourself, release old patterns, and step into clarity and confidence.

What if your body already holds the wisdom you need?

You’re invited to create time for quiet, to build trust within, to experience what leading from intuition feels like.

What We’ll Explore Together

Perfectionism

We’ll unpack and explore what perfectionism is and how it shows up day-to-day. We’ll understand the origins of this patterning in order to begin the process of untangling from the weight of it.

People-Pleasing

We’ll process what people-pleasing is and why it arises. We’ll practice compassionate understanding of our inner child and explore ways to evolve beyond this conditioning and refining our inner dialogue.

Burnout

We’ll discuss and understand the origins and impact of burnout. We’ll restore balance and begin the process of healing from burnout, mapping out a long-term plan for burnout recovery, bridging the retreat into real life.

Nervous System Healing

We’ll intellectually and somatically explore current nervous system functioning and tune into the present state of the body, offering pathways for reset and healing.

Somatic Healing

We’ll move our bodies creatively, intuitively, and playfully, restoring trust in the body’s wisdom and allowing our mind to rest. We’ll allow the body to facilitate releasing our inner critic.

Alignment

We’ll explore alignment, cognitively and physically finding a sense of alignment, attunement, and intuition. We’ll leave the retreat feeling balanced and aligned.
