Consciously Connected
Design and Align Your Life!
January 10-17, 2026
Many of the beliefs we have that control how we feel and behave were decided FOR us when we were very young. The cycles of self-sabotage, fear and isolation CAN be shifted!
You already know that you have the ability to live at a higher level. It’s time to consciously design and align your life! It’s time to choose now to Consciously Connect with yourself and your loved ones!
Join us for a week of cozy, comfortable accommodations, healthy, delicious meals, and guided self-care practices as you gain the tools to Consciously Connect!

Meet your host
Heather is a transformation facilitator, public speaker, workshop leader, retreat leader and owner of Shifting Sands Holistic Healing. Her most requested talk From Trauma to Triumph inspires audiences to break the chains of generational trauma patterns by taking charge of their own healing. She is most known for her signature program Meeting Yourself Again.
Heather empowers people who have been hurt or mistreated in erasing the beliefs that keep them from feeling
-
love
-
connection and
-
belonging
so they can live the life they wished for but never dreamed they could achieve.
Heather is a trauma informed Certified Repatterning Practitioner, EFT/ TFT Tapping Master Practitioner, Solution Based Hypnotherapist, Magui Block Practitioner and Level 2 Aerial Yoga Instructor. She utilizes muscle testing, family systems therapy, and systemic constellation therapy in her practice.
If you are drawn to this retreat, you likely want to increase your feelings of self-love and self-worth. And the reality is, committing to investing in yourself can feel challenging!
Keep in mind, that when you heal the root causes of your current problems through my Consciously Connected processes, everything in your life improves. You will be more present for your family and your children, you will feel more valued in your work and business, you will feel content and at peace in your relationships.

V.L. says "I could clearly see the effects of (how) my negative self-beliefs seeped into so many areas of my life -- even the ones that were supposed to be fun. The ah ha moments keep coming!"
