Magical Retreats & Soulful Connections

Bio: In May, 2006, I purchased Sacred Grove Retreat Center and moved there with my partner, Tim Beebe. We worked tirelessly to improve and beautify this magical land.

I am a gracious hostess, and my superpower lies in effortlessly creating rapport with every visitor. I possess a natural talent for making anyone who sets foot on the land feel warmly welcomed. Affectionately referred to as the “Goddess of the Grove”, I take great pleasure in embracing this title.
