Empower Retreat in Ubud, Bali
EMPOWER Retreat featuring MOTION LA in Ubud, Bali September 29, 2022-October 6th, 2022
Why Ubud, Bali?
Ubud is the centre of Bali and where all aspects of Balinese life come together, making it an exceptional place to visit as there are plenty of things to do in Ubud. Ubud is as spiritual as much as it is a tourist centre and this unique combination makes Ubud one of the top destinations not only in Bali but in the world, making it a must-visit destination during any trip to Bali.
Within the last two decades, Ubud has become an important destination for yoga practitioners thanks to its closeness to nature and the culture’s intrinsic spirituality. Brimming with yoga studios, wellness retreats, and vegetarian/vegan restaurants, many people now regard Ubud as the holistic heart of Southeast Asia.
The Empower Retreats were designed to support you in connecting and caring for yourself through healthy rituals so we can better care for others. The founder of Nurse Yourself Retreats created Empower Retreats to reach not only healthcare professionals but also anyone passionate about health and wellness.

The story of Empower Retreats… stemming from Nurse Yourself Retreats
Ever since I was a little girl, I witnessed my mother (my super hero) a Registered Nurse & single mother juggle caring for me and her patients and saw many times she overlooked her health in the process. It was difficult to watch my mom succumb to unhealthy habits and overall not feel healthy and happy herself; even though she tried her best to nurse me and her patients to health. Admiring my mother’s passion for nursing others sparked my desire to become a nurse. In nursing school, I fully became aware of the constant battle between nursing myself and nursing my patients, empathizing with my mother and other healthcare professionals. Most of the time, I would choose my health last and it was not until I noticed the remarkable difference of the care I provided for my patients when I cared for myself where I knew something needed to be done! I coined a term with my nursing friends, Michelle and Diana— “(M)ursing before Nursing” to promote care for (ME-the nurse) before caring for others. I then presented this concept at a Summit in Ohio on Promoting Health and Resilience for Healthcare Professionals. I felt and still feel ignited and passionate about this topic of spreading awareness on all the benefits of promoting health for nurses especially when I saw how my fellow nursing student friends also struggled with their self care rituals.
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that.”
— Martin Luther King Jr.
I desire more than anything else to create a healing space for you to connect to one another and most importantly connect with their mind, body, and spirit and become the lights for others to do the same.

Empower Retreat in Dayton, Oregon
EMPOWER Retreat in Dayton, Oregon -Feb 2nd, 2022-Feb 6th, 2022
Why Dayton, Oregon?
Our next destination may not be the beautiful Tulum, but I am as excited for this location as Tulum. Dayton was the first city in the State of Oregon to be designated as a national historic resource. We will be staying at Sunrise Farm, on over 33 acres including a 9 acre lake and 3 trails accessible by horse or on foot. A hidden gem.
What drew me into Oregon the first time I visited were the stars, so we will enjoy evenings snuggled up by the gas fire-pit on the spacious deck and star gaze. Some days we may stay in and use the projector room to watch a movie while cozy by the fireplace. And enjoy dinner (healthy pizza) cooked in the wood-fired pizza oven. There are so many ways to enjoy this farm and I am so excited for this opportunity we get to share together.
As the owner of the property says, “Life is different here- and we like it that way. Wander, relax, and breathe in the serenity of a sunrise. When you stay with us you are more than a guest- you are part of our farm family.”

The story of EMPOWER Retreats
Ever since I was a little girl, I witnessed my mother (my super hero) a Registered Nurse & single mother juggle caring for me and her patients and saw many times she overlooked her health in the process. It was difficult to watch my mom succumb to unhealthy habits and overall not feel healthy and happy herself; even though she tried her best to nurse me and her patients to health. Admiring my mother’s passion for nursing others sparked my desire to become a nurse. In nursing school, I fully became aware of the constant battle between nursing myself and nursing my patients, empathizing with my mother and other healthcare professionals. Most of the time, I would choose my health last and it was not until I noticed the remarkable difference of the care I provided for my patients when I cared for myself where I knew something needed to be done! I coined a term with my nursing friends, Michelle and Diana— “(M)ursing before Nursing” to promote care for (ME-the nurse) before caring for others. I then presented this concept at a Summit in Ohio on Promoting Health and Resilience for Healthcare Professionals. I felt and still feel ignited and passionate about this topic of spreading awareness on all the benefits of promoting health for nurses especially when I saw how my fellow nursing student friends also struggled with their self care rituals.

Although living an active lifestyle, Dalia didn't always have a healthy eating regime. When turning 30, she started making positive eating habits and that's when she could feel the difference in how food used to nourish the body changed how she felt from the inside out. As she began to read more and more about health, wellness, fitness, and nutrition, she began implementing a lot of what she learned. Eventually living a healthy lifestyle became part of her daily routine. The passion to make changes for herself grew into something more. Dalia, as an educator, started to teach others through conversations, her personal relationships, and social media. She understands that not one diet fits every... body. Health and wellness includes the whole person: mind, body, soul. She loves helping others develop healthy sustainable habits and desires to serve others to find a healthier happier version of themselves. When we feel great, we better serve others in the process.
When she thinks of preparing food, Shannon views it as an opportunity to embark on an adventure. And adventures don’t have be complex or daunting. In fact, some of life’s most enriching adventures are found in the simple moments. This is how Shannon approaches food preparation — with simplicity, intuition, and joy.
As a health chef, Shannon is passionate about empowering and inspiring others to eat functional (and tasty!) food that supports an optimal mind, body, and soul.
