Core Emotional Healing(TM) Retreats bring clarity around the source of patterns causing symptoms and holding us back. Sacred Emotion Retreats are offered with Janet Raftis (Episode 7) in Costa Rica. I call them a 'power couple', because they talk openly about their synchronous healing journey, and their skills and gifts amplifying through their connection and their work together. Elicia is the founder of Core Emotional Healing, and a Candida expert, and Doug, PhD, is a Clinical and trans-personal Psychologist.
