Hear what past attendees have said:
“The Elite Retreat was an altogether amazing and fulfilling experience. Imparted with both educational and clinical knowledge, the supportive and nurturing atmosphere fostered great professional and spiritual growth. And while each of us in attendance may have arrived as individuals, we all left as a family of holistic practitioners armed with great knowledge and confidence, united to help those around us in achieving a much greater level of health and wellness, one that we all deserve.”

“I’ve been in many programs and this one rivals the experience”

“After doing several of Dr. B’s online webinars and joining I4L for a few months, THE Elite Retreat was like coming home and connecting with family I didn’t know I had. It was also a place and time to deeply connect with myself.”
