Gravity Fascial Stretch Class- Tues, June 24th @ 6-7pm ct
2025-06-24 18:00 - 19:00 (America/Chicago)
It’s not easy.
You’re going to want to give up.
But if you really want to see changes in your mobility, flexibility, range of motion and pain level, it’s all about passive, long hold stretching. Long holds. 2 – 5 minutes.
Deep Fascial Stretch
Science of Stretching™ Benefits:

Relieve back, neck and shoulder pain
Learn to move like a younger version of yourself
Protect and care for your joints
Build long, strong supporting tissues
Enjoy the sports and activities you love
Feel the youthful freedom of a flexible body
Learn to palm the floor in a forward bend
Squat bum to heels without discomfort
Interlace your hands behind your back with straight arms
Sit school-style with your knees on the floor

This approach is different. There are hundreds of stretching books and mobility routines available, but most don’t work. The stretches feel great, but they don’t change your range of motion.
The Science of Stretching™ Gravity Stretch approach uses best practices from published exercise physiology research combined with time-tested protocols from yoga, dance, martial arts, and gymnastics to provide a solution that delivers predictable results.
Gravity stretch nourishes your fascia and gives the body room to move.

Hiking & Wellness Retreat in Montana!
2025-10-02 15:00 - 2025-10-06 11:00
Thursday, October 2 – Monday, October 6th, 2025

Adventure awaits for those ready to really get away.

Wifi is available…so you get to be just far enough away 🙂

Stunning setting nestled in the Beartooth Mountain Range, situated on the edge of the Boulder River. Each day is yours to claim – Whether it’s glorious hiking, moose watching (fingers crossed), or lounging on the patio overlooking the river with a G&T in hand. The fall colors are right out of ‘ A River Runs Through It’ (which was filmed nearby on the mountain.)

Rustic log cabins feature running water (full bathrooms with shower), heated by fireplace and potbelly stoves. Shared accommodations across three cabins with king & queen & full beds (one private cabin with a full living/kitchen/bath and bedroom is available – great for a couple or friends.) Wifi is available as well as a landline phone.

Our on-site mountain man will teach you to

build a proper fire
cook pancakes outside with bacon on the grill
how to cast a fly rod and then grill up that fresh catch

It’s the most exciting, relaxing, beautiful, adventurous thing you can do. You owe it to yourself to Get Off the Grid!
We’ll have group activities each day that you can partake in. Or you can sit by the fire and read a book, go for a simple walk or an intense hike, polar plunge in the glacial water of the Boulder River, try your hand at fly fishing or work on a jigsaw puzzle. The adventure is what you make it!
Here’s a little snippet of previous years:

https://happyeatshealthy.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Off-the-Grid-in-Montana.mp4
Here’s what a few of our previous guests said:

“…take a wellness break in a beautiful, natural setting”:

“This experience was my first trip to Montana and I can’t wait to go back! Getting into the mountains was just the break I needed to refocus on my health and relaxation. Monique is a wonderful host who welcomed us into her family’s charming cabins located within the most gorgeous national park. Morning walks, fly fishing, hikes, and cooking lessons were coupled with down time for books, cards and puzzles. Breakfast from the grill, healthy meals and snacks, and cocktail hour with mountain views made you feel like you were at sleep-away camp for adults! I would recommend the Montana trip without hesitation for anyone looking to take a wellness break in a beautiful, natural setting.”
-Carrie J

“It was a great way to disconnect and recharge my batteries”:

“Montana is one of the most beautiful place I’ve ever visited! The rustic quarters were quaint and comfortable and the environment Monique created was so unique and special. I experienced so many firsts, from learning to fly fish and building a proper fire to seeing gentle moose in the wild. We hiked, saw wildlife, dipped our feet in the river with a GnT in hand and completely relaxed. It was a great way to disconnect and recharge my batteries!”
Julie L

This isn’t a hard, itinerary-driven retreat. Wellness comes in many forms and we are creating an opportunity for you to embrace the time you need to rejuvenate and heal.

FAQ’s:
Is there running water? Yes
Is there electricity? Yes
Is there internet? Yes; but we do experience outages at times in this remote area. A landline phone is available on-site.
Will I see wildlife? Probably. Last year we experienced moose. deer and a black bear. So majestic.
Do I have to hike? Nope. You can do whatever feels good! Hang in front of the fire, have a glass of wine or cup of tea, sit on a large rock on the side of the river with a cup of tea and journal. It’s your time.
Is the hiking hard? Most of these hikes start as switchbacks, so they offer a very good workout. If that isn’t your thing, just walking on the road is pretty and a healthy walk.
What is Gravity Stretch? This is a revolutionary way to stretch the body and relieve fascia muscles which eases pain in the body and allows for more freedom of movements. Hold time of stretches begin at 2 minutes.
What will the weather be like? Every year is different and the weather is unpredictable, but it’s essentially gorgeous fall Mountain weather in the day reaching 60’s and 70’s with chilly mornings in the 30’s. One year it snowed and it was glorious.
What can I expect in terms of food? In this mountain retreat you can expect healthy, comfort food with a side of meat and/or fish. Many of my retreats are heavily plant-focused but due to the hearty conditions, we will be enjoying more animal protein than typical. We accommodate all food sensitivities with proper notice.
What to wear: Layers, lots of them. See the above statement on weather. I tend to be cold, so for morning walks I wear leg warmers, coat, hat and mittens. By the end of the walk, when the sun peaks over the mountain ridge, the layers get peeled off.

Symptoms
Did you know there are nearly 100 symptoms associated with menopause? This program targets all the common menopause (+ peri & post) symptoms, including Physiological and Emotional Symptoms, and shines light on the lesser-known symptoms as well.

Hot flashes & night sweats
Cognitive changes (memory, brain fog)
Sleep disturbances & insomnia
Mood swings (anxiety, irritability, rage, depression)
Increased stress levels
Digestive issues (acid reflux, food sensitivities)
Joint and muscle pain
Increased visceral fat & metabolic changes
Anger
Tinnitus, dizziness, heart palpitations, a drop in libido, burning mouth, indigestion, and so many other lesser-known symptoms.

Our culinary component will address Foundational, Nutritional & Dietary Challenges:

Simplifying balanced nutrition
Managing food sensitivities
Rewriting negative food stories
Exploring dietary shifts

Reduced estrogen during menopause leads to a decrease in metabolism- causing women to burn about 250-350 fewer calories per day.
AND more!

We’ll debunk nutrition myths, black box warnings, and clarify supplement facts.
Strengthen your emotional resilience
Learn unexpected stress management techniques
Weekly accountability check-ins
Receive Consistency Trackers, Food Journals, and Symptom Trackers.

Can I do this with a friend?
Yes! We recommend gathering a few gal pals; support makes us stronger!

Gravity Fascial Stretch Class- Tuesdays @ 6-7pm ct
2026-01-06 18:00 - 19:00
Date change this week- Monday instead of Tuesday.

This Fascial Stretch Class uses gravity to make real change in your mobility.
It’s not easy.
You’re going to want to give up.
But if you really want to see changes in your mobility, flexibility, range of motion and pain level, it’s all about passive, long hold stretching. Long holds. 2 – 5 minutes.
Deep Fascial Stretch
Science of Stretching™ Benefits:
Relieve back, neck and shoulder pain
Learn to move like a younger version of yourself
Protect and care for your joints
Build long, strong supporting tissues
Enjoy the sports and activities you love
Feel the youthful freedom of a flexible body
Learn to palm the floor in a forward bend
Squat bum to heels without discomfort
Interlace your hands behind your back with straight arms
Sit school-style with your knees on the floor
This approach is different. There are hundreds of stretching books and mobility routines available, but most don’t work. The stretches may feel good, but they don’t change your range of motion.
The Science of Stretching™ Gravity Stretch approach uses best practices from published exercise physiology research combined with time-tested protocols from yoga, dance, martial arts, and gymnastics to provide a solution that delivers predictable results.
Gravity stretch nourishes your fascia and gives the body room to move.

Immersive pain retreat
Be your own body whisperer!
You will learn skills and elements to reconnect with your body and move through your pain and bring energy back into your life through many facets:
Have questions? Watch Stacey and I discuss some of the key aspects of Unwinding Pain:

Fascial Health
Fascia is the intricate web of connective tissue that supports and envelops every muscle, bone, and organ in the body.
Through expert guidance and hands-on techniques, you will learn to release tension, restore balance, and unlock the body’s innate capacity for healing.
Nourishing Food
Nourishment is paramount on this healing odyssey, as we indulge in a symphony of flavors and textures crafted from nature’s bounty. Delight your senses with nourishing, plant-based cuisine designed to fuel your body, replenish your spirit, and awaken your palate to the joys of mindful eating.

Functional Medicine
Complementing our culinary journey is the wisdom of functional medicine, a personalized approach to healthcare that seeks to uncover the root causes of pain and illness.You’ll bring your health story to life through a personal timeline. It’s a way to shine the light on things that might be considered predispositions or patterns that can manifest later in life.

Breath
Breath is the essence of life and a profound tool for healing. Through mindful techniques and guided exercises, you’ll tap into the innate wisdom of your body, fostering deep relaxation, stress relief, and enhanced vitality.

Somatic Journey
We all carry trauma, whether big or small. Throughout the retreat, we invite and guide you to reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom and intelligence through somatic practices.

Explore the narratives that shape your health and energy

Learn to hear your body’s symptoms as communication, not punishment

Rewrite your story from one of fear and resistance to one of strength and grace

Reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom through daily ELDOA, functional movement, and nourishing cuisine

Deepen your practice with meditation under the stars, ocean breezes, and the healing beauty of St. Croix

Menopause retreat meals

This retreat is about changing the language around aging, change, health, and menopause, shifting from fear and frustration to empowerment, renewal, and freedom.

FAQ

Where is the retreat being held?
The Yoga, Nutrition and Nature Retreat will be held at Vikasa Retreat Resort on Koh Samui, an island in the Gulf of Thailand. It is possible to drive around the entire island in around 90 minutes, and visitors generally either travel via scooter or taxi as walking is difficult. Vikasa is located between Chaweng Noi and Lamai in a quiet area of the island. It is possible to walk from Vikasa to nearby beaches, but guests generally stay on the Vikasa premises or rent scooters or taxis for trips to nearby markets and shopping malls. The weather is generally hot year-round, with temperatures often around 30 degrees Celsius.

How do I get to the retreat?
The best way to get to Vikasa is to fly into Koh Samui International Airport (USM). There are daily flights into Koh Samui from Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and others. Vikasa is a 20-minute cab ride from Koh Samui International Airport (USM).

Do I need a Visa?
Although tourist visas are generally required, there is an exemption for travelers from 30 countries (Australia, UK, USA, France, Germany, Sweden and others) who wish to travel to Thailand for 30 days or less. If you are a citizen of one of these countries, you do not need to obtain a visa. Note that if you plan to stay for longer than 30 days, it is possible to obtain a short extension from the immigration office on Koh Samui at some point during your stay.

What should I pack?
Yoga clothes, tropical climate clothes and swimwear. Yoga mats and props and towels are all provided. You may want to add an excursion to your program such as a waterfall hike, in which case a pair of sneakers would also be handy. If you want to use the Sky Gym during your stay you’ll need gym clothes too.

What time is check-in / check-out?
The retreat dates start on your check-in and check-out dates. Check-in is available from 2pm. On the first day there is a group welcome circle, dinner and a yoga nidra session. On the final day, you will enjoy a morning class and brunch and check out is at 12 noon.
You are welcome to book additional nights before or after the official retreat dates. Simply contact us to enquire about pricing and availability. Many guests like to arrive a few days early to acclimatise, especially after a long journey.

Is this for all levels?
YES! The Yoga, Nutrition and Nature Retreat in Thailand is open to all levels. Jennifer and Monique will work alongside you to help you take your practice to the next level no matter where you are on your journey.

What if I have to cancel?
We have a no-refund policy, but if we have a waiting list and find someone interested in taking your place, we can exchange your retreat dates – we can’t guarantee this. No credits can be issued. For this reason, we highly encourage the purchase of trip insurance if you would like protection from unforeseen circumstances of any kind.

What is the local currency? Do I need cash?
Thai currency is the Bhat (THB). Larger businesses accept credit cards, but expect smaller vendors to only take cash. Typically, better exchange rates are once in Thailand. Conversion rates fluctuate, but roughly $100 USD = $3,360 THB.
