Together, Lacy (QHHT practitioner) and Karen (Shamanic practitioner) hold a deeply attuned, sacred space—where transformation is both tender and profound. As facilitators who have both learned how to expand past diagnosis and limitations of the body, they bring grounded wisdom, intuitive guidance, and loving presence to every aspect of this retreat. Their work is a dance between earth and spirit, ceremony and spontaneity, healing and joy. They will guide you through practices to help you commune with your body, shed what no longer serves, anchor into your truth, and rise into the next version of yourself. You can expect to be seen, supported, and held—gently called forward by two gifted women who walk with integrity, reverence, and strength.
Lacy Wheeler | QHHT Practitioner • Intuitive Medium
Lacy brings the spirit of reverence and deep listening into every healing space she enters. Her energy is inviting yet powerful, guiding you to explore the deeper channels of your soul. Through QHHT (Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique) and intuitive guidance, she supports you in accessing your higher self and remembrance of past lives, releasing outdated beliefs, and stepping into the next chapter of your journey with clarity and purpose. Lacy’s connection to spirit creates a sacred container where profound transformation and soul remembrance unfolds—naturally, gracefully, and in perfect alignment.
Karen April | Shamanic Healing Practitioner • Spiritual Mentor
Karen’s work is a reflection of the land—wise, nurturing, and alive with sacred presence. Her healing approach weaves ancient shamanic traditions with intuitive bodywork and soul-centered mentorship, creating space for deep release and energetic renewal. Just as the Hawaiian ʻāina restores balance through its natural rhythms, Karen helps others clear what no longer serves them, reconnect with their inner truth, and awaken the healing power within. Her grounded yet luminous presence offers a path to wholeness that is both profoundly embodied and spiritually expansive. Karen is also the founder and owner of Anahata Healing Center, where her vision and work come to life through sacred gatherings, private sessions, and transformational retreats.

You may enjoy all the healing you desire.
I've been asked many times how I've healed my body, because I've been on an exhausting, life-long journey to find a "normal, healthy body," and ultimately nothing worked - until I made massive internal changes to allow balance to occur in the body. Medicines, therapies, and such are not the healing agents, they are simply one of any means by which health can be accessed - but only after you bless yourself with and allow the health and balance you seek, first.
Release from any ailment can come once you de-code and listen to what the body is telling you.
You may free yourself of all you wish to unburden yourself of.
Come learn what I have accessed through many discussions with the Higher Self about the origin of healing, and how you are the healer you seek.

Here are some Important details to consider when planning your travel:
Airport: HNL. You will need to fly Into the Honolulu airport (HNL) located on the Island of Oahu. Due to the distance and length of travel, plan to arrive the DAY BEFORE the event (9/18/25), which will allow you to take full advantage of the retreat, should your flight be delayed. If not, and your flight is delayed, you will miss the first full day of the retreat. :(
Address: The retreat Is located on a beautiful ocean-front property on the North Shore of Oahu, in the city of Haleiwa, and the exact address will be given to registered guests. For reference, check out this map of the general location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/LdP3qTuQspqsuEEb7
Lodging: The Island of Oahu boasts plentiful accommodations If you choose not to stay on site, but please note the retreat location Is nestled on the North Shore, a considerable drive from the "town" side of Oahu, something to take Into account If you plan to stay In "town" (Honolulu, Waikiki). You will want to give yourself MORE time than estimated for the drive, as our two-lane road around the Island can regularly encounter weather issues, high tourism traffic and misc delays.
Transportation: It Is highly recommended that you utilize a rental car for this experience, as Uber/Lyft can be undependable In this area, which Is located far from "town" (Honolulu/Waikiki) which has plentiful transportation. Street parking Is available on site.
Stay and enjoy the Island. Why not book-end your trip with extra time to explore the beautiful Island of Oahu, and beyond? There Is much to explore and enjoy In this beautiful land, and since you will be fully Immersed In the work of the retreat during the event, overlapping exploration during the retreat will not be possible. Stay longer to enjoy It! :)
