A Relaxing Weekend Retreat

With Carrie Demers, MD

Step away for a restorative weekend designed to help you unwind, reset, and return to daily life feeling refreshed. This 3-day retreat offers a thoughtful blend of therapeutic bodywork, biofeedback, private yoga, and integrative medical guidance, all created to support renewed wellness and a more balanced lifestyle.

Guided by Carrie Demers, MD, the program brings together conventional, homeopathic, and ayurvedic perspectives in a personalized approach to health. The intention is simple: to help you better understand your needs, ease stress, and support your healing with practical recommendations and natural tools.

This session combines allopathic, homeopathic, and ayurvedic approaches, with recommendations for balanced living, natural medicines, and supplements that may support healing.

A 60-minute private yoga session with senior yoga teachers, using postures, breathing, relaxation, and meditation to bring greater ease and freedom to body and mind. Each session is adapted to individual needs.
