Testimonials

Dana’s annual retreats are a highlight for a field-based team located all over the United States. There are very few opportunities for my colleagues and I connect (and re-connect) as a team. Each year and every retreat give us the opportunity to celebrate our hard work and get excited for what is to come. This time to bond is priceless and our work collaborations are always stronger on the other side. The experiences are uniquely incredible- it makes our team stronger and continues to make me a better teammate. - Kim P.

“Dana is the consummate host and retreat leader. The breathtaking property is a sacred sanctuary which invites guests to exhale and connect with nature in a truly profound way. Dana’s attention to detail, her calm demeanor, and her warmth are such a welcoming and refreshing gift to attendees. This retreat was exactly what I needed…time for connection, reflection, creativity, and laughter!” - Kira H

My day at Ives Cottage was the perfect and much needed escape from the daily grind. Dana created a warm and inviting space against the most beautiful and peaceful New England backdrop. Every detail, from the meals to activities, was well thought out and curated specially for our group of women. I left feeling refreshed and empowered with a smile from ear to ear. - Alicia A

“For a work off-site retreat, this was one of the most relaxing and healing experiences. The privacy and peaceful surroundings were completely conducive to relaxing, disconnecting from technology, and connecting as a team. Dana, the owner/host, is the most hospitable person I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with and made all of us feel right at home. Her attention to detail and delivering what our group requested was amazing. I look forward to rebooking and telling my friends and clients to do the same.” -Tami O.
