PESI PRESENTS – RECLAIMING INTIMACY: HEALING THROUGH THE BODY, MIND & RELATIONSHIP

During Week 12 you will have an in-depth workshop with Tammy Nelson, PhD and Abi Blakeslee, SEP, CMT, MFT, PhD. Enjoy a rich schedule with classes during the day and head to the beach in your free time.

Join leading Somatic Therapist and Traumatologist Dr. Abi Blakeslee and world-renowned Sex Therapist Dr. Tammy Nelson for a transformative retreat combining somatic healing, trauma-informed relationship work, and embodied intimacy. Designed for healing professionals, individually or with their partners, this experience offers experiential learning, nervous system repair, and deep connection—within yourself and with others.

This immersive retreat with leading Somatic Therapist and Traumatologist Dr. Abi Blakeslee and world-renowned Sex Therapist Dr. Tammy Nelson is a rare opportunity to explore the intersections of trauma healing, embodied intimacy, and relational repair. Designed for therapists, healers, and couples seeking both personal growth and professional enrichment, this retreat integrates the cutting-edge of somatic psychology with advanced clinical interventions for relational healing.

Abi and Tammy will guide participants through embodied practices to regulate the nervous system, resolve trauma, and reestablish pleasure in the body. These somatic tools form the foundation for sustainable intimacy and connection. Additional exploration of how to increase secure attachment and bonding through somatic exploration is a skill central to accelerating reconnection in clinical settings. They will offer experiential learning in erotic recovery, emotional repair, and rebuilding trust—especially after betrayal, disconnection, or long-term relational stress.

Whether you’re looking to restore passion in your own relationship, deepen your professional skills, or experience the body as a healing resource, this retreat offers a deeply supportive and transformative container. We’ll combine guided exercises, live demonstrations, partner work, and group processing in a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment.

"You’ll leave with practical tools, new insights, and the embodied experience of what it means to feel safe, seen, and connected—in your body and relationships."

Open to healing professionals individually or with their partners.
