About this Retreat
Brittany's path to healing has been anything but linear — and that is exactly what makes her such a powerful guide. Having navigated her own journey through trauma, loss, and the long road back to herself, she brings a deeply embodied, lived understanding of transformation into everything she holds.
Her healing path led her through somatic experiencing, attachment science, hypnotherapy, EMDR, and the wisdom of the 12-step tradition — as well as into the natural world, where permaculture taught her that nature holds profound lessons for human healing. She is a certified recovery coach (CCAR) and somatic embodiment steward, and weaves movement, voice activation, conscious communication, and nature-based practice into her work.
At the Fire Horse Within Retreat, Brittany creates a space where women can unravel old patterns, trust their own rhythm, and rediscover the strength that has been within them all along. She guides not from theory, but from experience — walking beside you with presence, warmth, and an unwavering belief in your capacity to heal.
Liza's work is rooted in a lifetime of learning how to hold others through chaos, intensity, and transformation — first through survival, and now through deep, conscious practice. Blending energy medicine, shamanic practice, family constellation, and the intuitive wisdom of horses, she creates powerful, grounded spaces where women can safely explore, release, and come home to themselves.
As a holistic transformation coach and constellation facilitator, Liza works at the intersection of the seen and unseen — where the body, the ancestral field, and the natural world meet. Her approach is precise, embodied, and deeply relational. She doesn't guide from a distance — she enters the field with you.
Her work with horses adds a rare dimension: the herd responds not to words, but to presence and truth. In this space, women are met without performance, without judgment, and without the need to explain — and that is where real transformation begins. Liza's guidance isn't just taught. It's lived.
Details of this retreat
There are moments when timing, nature, and inner calling align — and this retreat is one of them. The Fire Horse Within is a 6-day immersive women's retreat held at Pachawa Retreat Center in the wild, sun-drenched hills of South Alentejo, Portugal.
At the heart of this experience is ground-based immersion with a herd of highly intuitive horses — living mirrors that respond not to words, but to the truth of your nervous system. Through guided interaction and quiet presence, the horses offer a rare opportunity to meet yourself as you are: unguarded, honest, and alive.
Woven throughout the week are somatic movement, voice activation, breathwork, family constellation work, energy medicine, shamanic journeys, fire ceremony, cacao ritual, sound healing, and a beach water ceremony. Each day moves through the elements — fire, earth, water, air — building a container for deep regulation, liberation, and rewilding.
This is a space for conscious women who are ready to soften out of performance, return to their instincts, and feel truly at home within themselves. More than a retreat — this is an invitation to remember your nature, reclaim your power, and step forward with a renewed sense of alignment, embodiment, and aliveness.
