Kimberly Ocana

I have been struggling with symptoms of CPTSD my entire life, I never knew what it felt like to feel a calm nervous system and was always nauseous requiring different meds to function. I decided to go on the women’s only retreat with a *hope* that I would feel just a little bit better. Each ceremony was incredibly powerful in its own way, and came along with some drastic self realizations. The facilitators provided the most respectful and loving support, and on the second ceremony had an intense body reaction that stemmed from my trauma (childhood sexual abuse). I realized I wasn’t nauseas but rather felt disgust all the time. Since my retreat has ended (meeting 2 months now) I have not been nauseated once, and when I came home I didn’t feel the need to use anything (meds, alcohol or cannabis) and have even lost my sugar addiction! The improvement I have felt and seen in my life truly can not be put into words. I feel so much lighter, clearer thinking, and I can hear my intuitive thoughts. I am forever thankful for this retreat and the facilitators and cannot wait to go back for another retreat to continue to level up my way of life. I wish everyone I know could attend Amanda Lodge and I know first hand the outcome is so powerful in such a positive way. I was able to feel a sense of pure joy that I’ve never felt before, and have so much gratitude for my healing. If you’re on the fence, please don’t hesitate! It is so worth it!!

You cant ask for a retreat leader any more loving and amazing. You cant help but feel loved around Kimbery. She is so concerned about you while you are at her retreat. She is so committed to making sure you have the most amazing connection to the medicine. Sooo Kind.
