If you lack confidence or want to be stronger in your voice…this retreat is the right fit for you. If you know you want more boundaries in your life, you just don’t know where to start…this retreat is the right fit for you.

In addition to the welcome call and the deep supportive container of the retreat, there will be a post-retreat debrief call for everyone. And, if you want to take things even deeper, both Tami and Christie have options to work with them privately.
About your retreat leaders
About Tami Schiltz
Tami, a Registered Dietitian who transitioned into the role of an Inner Child Healer. After almost 30 years of struggling with her relationship with food, exercise, and her body, she had an aha moment—it was never about the food! Food was just her way of coping, and her body was a reflection of her self-worth. After searching outside of herself for ways to “fix” myself, she finally connected the dots that she needed to go within. That's when she discovered her unhealed childhood wounds and that's when her entire life's story started to make sense.
The turning point in my healing journey happened when I reconnected with my Inner Child, or as I lovingly call her, Little Tam Tam. That reunion showed me the important work that needed my time and attention. The impact that healing my childhood wounds has had goes way beyond my health and physical transformation. It has influenced how I parent my two children, how I connect within relationships, and how I intuitively coach and work with people.
Healing helped me flip the script in how I take care of myself and show up in the world, not just for everyone else but for that little girl inside me.
Despite having a "pretty good childhood," I checked many of the "classic CPTSD boxes" such as emotional dysregulation, dissociation, inability to establish healthy boundaries, distorted self-image, and feelings of unworthiness. So, every aspect of how I help people is grounded in my own healing experience because I've had to do the work myself. Initially, I believed this applied solely to "diet and exercise," only to realize they were simply "band-aids" for deeper childhood wounds. I now know that all of my personal and professional experiences were meant to lead me here - to help people get to the real underlying issues as to why they stay stuck despite “knowing better.”
I don't follow a textbook approach when connecting and helping people. Unlike traditional professionals such as dietitians, personal trainers, coaches, or therapists, I leverage my strengths— my Intuition and the ability to read energy.
When I'm not helping others heal their Inner Child, you can find me reparenting my Inner Child through joyful, playful, moments with my kids and when taking care of my body at the gym and my soul while out on my paddleboard!
