This retreat is about giving you space to breathe and slow down to begin healing.
If you’re feeling numb, worn down, disconnected. If the idea of spending a weekend with other women feels uncomfortable or even a little scary, I know exactly how that feels because that was me. And that is why I have created this space.
You won't be overwhelmed here, nothing is fast or forced. You don’t have to do anything or be anything, there are no demands of you here. You don’t have to prepare anything or even be “ready.” You just have to show up.
I create this space for women who've been carrying too much for too long. Who’s tired of pretending everything’s fine. For the one who’s forgotten what calm even feels like.
We’ll move slowly. We’ll learn simple tools to release stress and regulate your nervous system. No rush, no pressure. Just small steps toward feeling a little more like yourself again. You’ll be gently guided through practices that can help calm the heaviness in your body, settle the racing thoughts, and make space for the part of you that’s been longing to be heard.
Over the course of this transformative weekend, you'll:
-
Learn powerful techniques to manage stress, anxiety, and challenging emotions
-
Discover tools to self-soothe, regulate emotions, and break free from the cycle of negative thinking
-
Gain clarity on your life’s purpose and align with your inner truths for greater joy and fulfillment
-
Explore alternative healing modalities like essential oils, energy healing, and herbal remedies to support emotional healing and reduce stress
-
Uncover practices to strengthen your relationship with yourself, boost self-love, and deepen your intuition
-
Learn how to shift your mindset, overcome limiting beliefs, and move toward emotional healing and inner peace
-
Develop confidence and empowerment through mindfulness practices that soothe the nervous system and help you feel more grounded
Whether you're struggling with a lack of motivation, feeling overwhelmed by life's responsibilities, or simply seeking a deeper connection with yourself, this retreat will provide you with the tools and practices to release, and step onto your new path with a new found peace. By the end of the weekend, you'll feel more grounded, clear-headed, and ready to move forward with renewed confidence and inner peace.

Testimonials.
Let Others Inspire You.
Have you ever felt like your life was spiraling out of control, couldn’t figure out why you felt like you did, unable to find answers with traditional medicine. Never done yoga before, no idea what sound bath means or even participate in a grounding exercise. I highly encourage you to attend one of Nikki’s classes. I did not know what I needed but I knew it was something so I googled women’s retreats in KCMO and Nikki came up. I read her story, kinda sounded familiar then I saw where she was having a retreat not far from my home (bonus).
I signed up.
Nikki has the most warm soul. We were greeted with hugs and let me take your bags out at the drive. Never met her face to face, but it was like we had been friends for years.
I was shown to my beautiful room where a personal note was waiting for me along with the weekends agenda. I was then introduced to other guests, and encouraged to get a beverage and a snack.
This retreat was a sampling of things that had helped Nikki with her journey and she was giving us access to them so we could see what would resonate with us.
I came to this retreat broken.
I left feeling peace, calm, and a toolbox full of resources to help me, and one answer as to why I felt broken, and a 5 week journaling exercise, and phone numbers I can call. Essential oils with purpose. 2 types of journals to write in. Tissue boxes every where and you never knew when you would need them. The downstairs was set-up beautifully with candles, yoga mats, bolsters, meditation pillows and blankets. Did I say blankets amazing!! Doing meditation and being safe and secure with 2 blankets on you. If you are unsure why you are struggling or you feel like the physical ailments just keep piling up and you don’t want another pill, I highly encourage you to reach out to Nikki or sign up for one of her classes, circles, retreats you will not be disappointed. Nikki is a women of God willing to be used as a vessel by him to bring health/peace/resources to women like me that are wandering in the desert and can’t find our way out!!!
Words really can’t describe the experience and transformation this retreat created.

The location was outstanding. Communication provided before the retreat was excellent. I loved the encouragement for comfy clothes and that we could bring our own pillow and blankets (also knowing that there would be plenty there for us to use if not). The greeting upon arrival was amazing. You have a great energy and I felt welcomed and special. My love language is touch so that hug put me in a good peace of mind right away. Getting a gift right away was unexpected and it was such a treat. I enjoyed when you explained what the items were in the gift bag. Not only was the bag pretty, there were so much details with the gifts in the bag. This also made me feel special (like it was a treat). I felt completely comfortable getting up to get food/snack/drink. This testifies that you're a wonderful host creating that atmosphere of comfort and to make ourselves feel at home. I enjoyed our first circle group and getting to hear from the other women.
I think your vulnerability encouraged that in the rest of us and it was a great first circle group hearing from the other women.
Walking downstairs, I was in awe. The serene setup downstairs was breathtaking. No doubt about it, everything we did downstairs was my absolute favorite. I LOVED the guided meditation, easy-flow yoga, sound bath, ALL OF IT! I didn't want to leave the downstairs! From the setup, to the smell, to the sound of your voice, it was absolutely refreshing to my soul. God is in the details and no detail was missed downstairs. What an amazing experience and thank you so much for that.
I left the retreat feeling refreshed and peaceful. You definitely connected with me and made me feel very special. I believe you did that with every woman there. That also, is a testament to your gift! Thank you for sharing your journey and giving me a special wellness day!

"I was at a point in my struggle with anxiety that I was willing to try anything. I had visited three doctors, prescribed meds, waiting to get in to counselors and was looking for help. I literally wanted to "run away" when her information came across my news feed. I decided not to run away, but instead just take ONE day for myself and it's been most helpful part of my journey thus far. She is welcoming, kind, and there was no pressure to do anything we weren't comfortable with although, nothing was uncomfortable anyway. The location was perfect and serene. She goes the extra mile to make sure everyone is getting what they need from the day. Nikki is full of knowledge and provided a plethora of information (a lot of things don't even cost anything) and blew my mind with some things I had never heard of. Now I have the tools to do my own research and implement things that spoke to me. I now feel empowered to be able to move forward. I highly recommend working with Nikki Sullivan Wellness - it was very affordable and YOU are worth it!"

Tabatha
"Working with Nikki as my mentor has been incredibly impactful. Her expertise in mindfulness practices and her compassionate guidance have equipped me with exactly what I need to navigate life's challenges with strength, clarity, and grace. With Nikki's support, I've cultivated a deeper understanding of myself, found solace in the present, and unlocked my true potential. I'm grateful for Nikki's wisdom and encouragement on this transformative journey, and I enthusiastically recommend her to anyone seeking personal growth and inner transformation."
