Working with Vickie during my Intensive Therapy Retreat was truly life-changing. My time with ART (accelerated resolution therapy) has not only transformed how I show up for my partners, friends, and family, but also how I feel toward myself. Vickie’s gifts, combined with my commitment to the process, have led to growth I never thought possible.

Since the retreat, I’ve felt grounded, confident, and present in situations that used to trigger intense anxiety — even high-stakes work meetings are now just another event, not something to dread. I still carry the tools and reminders Vickie shared with me, from the grounding fidget toys to the empowering ‘buffalo mindset,’ which inspires me daily to face challenges head-on.

And I can’t forget Tony & Charles, Vickie’s wonderful cats, who brought comfort, calm, and a touch of joy to my retreat experience. Their quiet companionship helped keep me grounded and connected to the present in such a beautiful way.

I’ll be forever grateful for the compassion, care, and dedication Vickie brought to every moment of our work together. Choosing to attend this retreat was one of the best decisions of my life, and its impact continues to ripple through everything I do.
