“When Holley called to tell me she was organizing a second Revive to Thrive retreat, I was thrilled. Quite a contrast to my initial reaction a couple of years ago when she invited me to the first retreat!

I am not really a “structured retreat” person. The thought of spending an entire Saturday with strangers, listening to various speakers, seemed more like a punishment than a pleasure. I could not have been more wrong.

The retreat’s promise was to “rejuvenate my mind, body and soul,” and it did that many times over. I left exhilarated!

I went with every intention of sneaking out at lunch, but I was quickly won over. Each speaker and workshop enlightened, educated and empowered me in ways I certainly hadn’t expected.

From physicians specializing in women’s health and the unique issues of midlife, to ideas for reinventing yourself at any age, to methods for cleaning, calming and enriching your mind and spirit, I was mesmerized and captivated throughout the day. Much of the information and many of the insights have stayed with me even two years later.

The icing on the cake was being seated at a table with educated, interesting and welcoming women who went on to become friends long after the retreat ended.

I cannot recommend Revive to Thrive enough. The time and money invested in this experience were incomparable. It truly was a day that nourished my mind, body and soul—and one I will never forget.”

“Holley was my neighbor in Houston when she created the very first Revive to Thrive Retreat. As she described her vision for the event, it sounded wonderful, but I was skeptical. I had already been in midlife for quite some time…how much more could I possibly learn about it? Ultimately, Holley’s excitement and enthusiasm convinced me to give it a try.

From the moment I stepped into the venue, I felt welcomed. Women, including Holley, were there to greet me, and I even recognized a couple of them from other communities in Houston. It immediately felt warm and inviting.

The table where I was seated was clearly well thought out. You could tell the seating was intentional, bringing together interesting women from all different backgrounds and walks of life. It was wonderful to meet new people and make new friends, and conversation at our table flowed easily throughout the entire day.

But the most memorable part of the Retreat for me was the content. Every topic was relevant and incredibly useful to a woman at this stage of life. I especially enjoyed the breathing tutorial, as well as the medical and scientific information presented by the physicians from Complete Midlife Wellness Center.

In fact, the Retreat had such an impact on me that afterward, I moved all of my midlife wellness care to Complete Midlife Wellness Center, and I have been with them ever since. I truly believe I received incredible benefits from the Retreat, not only through the wonderful connections and friendships I made, but also by finding a team of specialist physicians who have my back when it comes to the unique issues women face in midlife—issues that are not always well understood.

I was genuinely sad to see the day come to an end. It was absolutely worth the time and money, and I would attend another Retreat in a heartbeat.

For anyone who is uncertain about attending, my advice is simple: go! Revive to Thrive improved my life in ways I never could have anticipated, and I am so grateful I said yes.”

“The Revive to Thrive Retreat was one of those experiences that stayed with me long after the day was over. What I appreciated most was the opportunity to step away from the noise and demands of everyday life and intentionally create space for myself...to pause, reflect, reconnect, and think about what it really means to thrive rather than simply being on auto pilot.

I went into the retreat expecting a meaningful day without anticipating how much I would take away from the experience. There was something powerful about being in a room with women who were also willing to be honest, vulnerable, and open to growth. I felt safe enough to listen, reflect, and be real, without feeling like I needed to have everything figured out.

The speakers brought different perspectives and insights that made the day feel both inspirational and practical. And just as meaningful were the conversations and connections with the other women. I left with relationships and conversations that I genuinely value.

What makes Revive to Thrive special is that it isn’t simply a day of motivation. It creates an environment where you can slow down long enough to ask yourself some important questions - and perhaps hear answers that have been difficult to hear in the busyness of everyday life. The impact has extended beyond the retreat itself. I find myself returning to things I learned and conversations I had, particularly when I need to remember that thriving requires intention. Sometimes we need permission to pause, take stock, and decide what comes next.

Was it worth my time and investment? Absolutely. I would attend another Revive to Thrive Retreat, and I would encourage anyone who feels like they are ready for a reset, a fresh perspective, or simply some intentional time devoted to themselves to experience it.

Holley has created something genuinely meaningful. Revive to Thrive is an invitation to stop simply going through the motions and begin thinking more intentionally about how you want to live, grow, and thrive.”

Revive to Thrive Women’s retreat was amazing! Traveling from Dallas to Houston was a reminder to be intentional with my time and to make space for myself.

It gave me a beautiful opportunity to slow down, recharge, reflect, and reconnect while being surrounded by an extraordinary group of women.

I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and incredibly grateful for the connections and memories made.
