Single moms’ retreat
IT’S A RETREAT JUST FOR SINGLE MOMS & YOU’RE INVITED!!
The Single Moms Retreat started with an idea after I continuously watched mother’s struggle with trying to work, manage a house, maintain their mental health, & raise children all alone. I wanted to create an outlet, a retreat, & therapeutic opportunity for mothers that feel they have the weight of the world on their shoulders.

it’s okay to Take a Break…..
The retreat is will be a two day retreat where mothers will travel away to another destination to catch quick mental break while bonding with other mothers that face some of the same challenges.
Participants stay at the location from Friday to Sunday. Both Friday and Saturday will be packed with information, skills building, activities, rest, and fun.
It is my hope that the participants will be able to get resources and skills that they need in order to find greater sense of pride the awesome job that the are doing as a SINGLE MOTHER!!
