Testimonials
Danielle
"I'm drawn to teachers with sincerity, integrity, wisdom and a compassionate openness. Billie embodies all of this and so much more. It is deeply inspiring to witness just how much of herself she commits to each lesson and each private mentorship session in this course. At the same time, she teaches and models balancing self-care with service.
Moreover, Billie fostered a sense of community wherein I believe everyone felt seen, heard and valued. The material in this course was made so accessible that I felt empowered by her practical guidance. Billie prompted participants to reflect on the relevance of the teachings to how they presently show up in the world and how they aspire to serve their communities in the future. She taught and encouraged practices to root these teachings in day-to-day life.
Billie didn't teach this course as theory. She built it in such a way as to make facilitation highly practicable even for persons with nominal experience with psilocybin. She did all that while conveying a deep and abiding reverence and respect for both the medicine itself as well as the indigenous traditions at the heart of their ceremonial use."

"I have had the amazing opportunity to benefit from Billie's healing modalities for many years, but having experienced my own plant medicine journey with her opened up a calling I’ve always sensed, but I never understood how to put it into practice. Enter the Roots of Healing Plant Medicine training. At first I was hesitant; it was a time commitment and financial investment that I wasn’t certain I was ready to take. The self doubt and “who am I to think I can do this?” was a force I had to reckon with for sure, but then a chat with you reminded me that we are all healers and we are all called to be the helpers in our lives.
I have learned so much about the process and the heart work that goes into each ceremony to create such a safe container for everyone to experience. I feel confident and comfortable in my abilities to begin facilitating others and support them in their own journeys. The shares from others and the personal experiences that Billie so eloquently and succinctly shared let all of us know that in spite of any doubts, we can do this needed work and be the most supportive and strong facilitators that people need to guide and help the medicine do the work in others as we all begin to heal.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Billie, for all of your time, all of your training and support, and all of the love that you’ve obviously poured into training the rest of us to be trauma informed facilitators in the future and spread your knowledge along the way."

"I am on an evolutionary path to manifesting my heart’s wisdom. For the past four years, I have attended sacred medicine ceremonies to deepen my growth and alignment with my highest calling. This journey has been profound and deeply healing, opening a pathway to service and revealing my truth as a facilitator of plant medicine offerings and integration support. Billie has been instrumental in bringing this vision to life.
The Gaia Wellness Psilocybin Facilitation Training is designed for the authentic healer, offering invaluable wisdom, guidance, and meaningful reflection practices. It provides the tools needed to build your own facilitation practice while fostering deep community connection. I highly recommend this course as a continuation of the ceremony of life."

Gaia has definitely changed my life!
​I came to gaia seeking healing and a sense of peace from grief, past trauma, addiction, etc. And I left with so much more!
I left with better coping mechanisms, an understading of why i was feeling the way i was. I left with a whole new outlook on how I wanted to help others through their own healing, friendships, a sense of passion in my search for knowledge on healing the body mind and spirit, I felt seen, I felt heard and I felt warm loving energy from Gaia Wellness Retreats. it was a life changing, magical experience for me!!
Thank you!! Much love for you all

I didn't know what to expect, but my experience with Gaia Wellness Retreats doing a Journey Within Retreat was beyond amazing.

I was exhausted of having the same story go on and on in my head. Billie's 5 day intensive program is amazing.
She gives everything she has when she's with you and the program she put together is really powerful.
Being that I have been in the healing field for a long time and have done many retreats I have never gone this deep.
Billie is strong enough to see how you avoid but her strength comes from the female energy that makes you do what she asks of you

I attended a five day personal retreat, which allowed me to continue on my own personal healing journey.
Gaia offers a caring, opening, non-judgemental space to allow you to either start and/or continue your own transformation.
All staff are friendly and welcoming.

I met Billie at a time when I truly needed her. I did her “Return to Yourself Intensive Program”, and she has been my guiding Angel every since.
I was a mess. I was completely drained from going thru a separation and was in a lot of pain, grieving from too many losses.
Billie has a Gift and I am grateful that we crossed paths

I attended the ReTurn to YourSelf Intensive Transformation retreat in 2019.It was like 10 years of therapy in 5 days,
it changed and reset my life in profound and sustainable ways.
I've leaned on Billie's Compassionate Inquiry Sessions for the last 4 years and always find her wisdom equal parts uplifting and shaking.
I return whenever I need a safe and brave space to explore my life.

Gaia Wellness Retreats has been a life changing experience for me.
I highly recommend this for anyone who is struggling with anything in their lives.
I participated in the 2 day Intensive Return to YourSelf Program as well as a Couples Intensive Program.
It was tough. Hard work and emotionally draining at times...BUT let me tell you, this experience has skyrocketed me on a healing journey I never even thought about prior.
Billie is a spiritual magician. One word to sum it all up: beautiful.

Amazing 3 days retreat.
Couldn’t have asked for more. I came back home with tons of knowledge, ressources, new perspectives and love in my heart and soul.Everyone could benefit from a retreat like this.
It is awakening and gives you the chance to dig deep in yourself and take a break from the wild world.
Food and amenities were perfect, nothing bad to say.
Jump and book yourself a retreat right away, you won’t regret.

I attended the 5-day Personal Intensive Retreat this June. What a magical place! The property is so calming and peaceful.
The programming and exercises are amazing; challenging yet necessary. Billie creates a warm, safe space to share, feel, release and recharge.
The Energy Healing and Sound Therapy sessions with Billie are fascinating and eye-opening, uncovering the trauma I was/am holding on to and how to open and ground. Morning yoga and the evening sound meditation with ShantDeep became welcome exploration and relaxation practices that I have integrated into my daily practice.
The release, forgiveness, love, tools and practices that I have gained throughout the 5 days have honestly changed my life.
I feel lighter and hopeful, prepared with the tools and daily practice I need on my journey of self-discovery.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to for a life-changing experience! I am forever grateful!
Thank you also to my fellow participants who I now call my tribe. We are deeply connected through this amazing experience of personal growth and I am so grateful that our paths crossed.

I just attended a Gaia Wellness Retreat: Return to YourSelf Intensive Transformation Program at Villa RosaThe retreat location was wonderful!
Villa Rosa is a quaint ‘old world’ feeling cottage. It’s nestled in trees and close to the water’s edge. A perfect setting for this retreat. The location was a bonus but the main draw is Billie and her staff.
I felt fully supported the entire time I was there. I am so very grateful I attended the retreat. With Billie’s guidance I am healing the negative patterns and deep wounds from my childhood that have created destructive patterns in my life for years. Through her gentle and loving guidance she helped me discover how to recognize and change these thought and beliefs so that I may learn to re-connect with my authentic self.
I felt fully supported the entire time through the beautiful setting, the amazing and nutritious food, the individual sessions, and the groups sessions.
It was an extremely rewarding 5 days and I am so happy that I had the opportunity to work with Billie and her staff.
Just like the title suggests; it is transformative and I can’t thank Billie enough for this gift. I will continue working with Billie and will be encouraging my family to seek her guidance.
I would also recommend anyone looking to strengthen their relationship with themselves to attend this retreat!!

"I just completed the ReTurn to YourSelf Intensive Program with Billie and it was truly a life-changing and life-enhancing experience. ​
Spending the week with Billie guiding me on my journey to self-awareness, nurturing and healing has profoundly changed how I view the world, myself, and my connection with spirit.
Billie is an amazing, kind soul and I immediately felt safe with her and within her space.
This allowed me to fully “let-go” and immerse myself in the process.
Thank you Billie for your kindness, your vast knowledge and experience, and most of all for caring for your clients so thoughtfully and compassionately."

My experience with Billie guiding me through my medicine journey was so deep and intense and blissful all at the same time.
Billie created a beautiful and safe space that gave me the ability to trust the process and be guided by this incredible medicine that just cradled me through my experience.
Through the ups and downs of emotions it carried me through, Billie guided me with music that brought me to all the places and things I needed to see and experience.I came out of it feeling like a new person, lighter and it's as if I can breath for the first time in my life.
I cannot recommend Billie and her guidance enough.
I plan on doing more journeys in the future and highly recommend Billie's services to everyone!!

The course was everything I hoped it would be - in depth instruction from Billie who shared her decades of experience and multitude of sound healing tools.
Practice and practical time, yoga, meditation and chanting - all experienced in a safe, caring and guided group of sensitive healers.
My life path and reason for incarnating at this time has never been clearer.
