Finding your Inner Strength

🌿 I’m happy to share that a new Awakening of Love Weekend Retreat is now open for registration in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

This weekend retreat offers a beautiful opportunity to pause, reconnect with yourself, and explore what is truly alive in your life through meditation, experiential exercises, and authentic connection with others in a safe and supportive space.

I will be co-guiding this retreat with the wonderful Kali Fantoni, whose decades of experience in transformational work bring great depth and care to the process.

📅 September 26–27, 2026
📍 Chattanooga, Tennessee

✨ With a full heart… I completed the year-long 330-hour Compassionate Inquiry Professional Training with Dr. Gabor Maté and Sat Dharam Kaur.

This past year has been a deep initiation.

Not just into a therapeutic approach — but into myself.

I learned to slow down.
To listen beneath the story.
To stay with feelings I once moved away from.
To meet my own wounds with compassion instead of judgment.

Compassionate Inquiry is not about fixing.
It is about gently uncovering the beliefs, adaptations, and protective patterns that once kept us safe — and may no longer serve.

According to the training guidelines, I am now a Compassionate Inquiry Trainee, and I will continue into the Mentorship program this August to deepen my skills and integration.

I also want to express deep gratitude to the clients who trusted me during this training year. Your courage, openness, and willingness to explore your inner world supported my learning in ways that cannot be measured. It has been an honor to walk alongside you.

I am also excited to be co-holding space with Kali Fantoni for an Awakening of Love retreat in Tennessee on September 26–27, 2026. I feel grateful for her mentorship and trust as I continue growing in this work.

As I step into this next phase, I am opening space for new clients.

If you are navigating transition, grief, trauma patterns, or feel ready to understand yourself more deeply, I would be honored to work with you.

I will be offering a limited number of sessions on a structured sliding scale as I continue building my practice and completing mentorship requirements.

You can message me privately if you’re curious.

This work has changed me.
And I am ready to share it.

Beautifully said! Who is in your marble jar? Do people trust you? Are you part of their marble jar?

I love this woman! Jennifer McKeever is someone I admire and have worked with for a few years now, and she is one of those leaders and facilitators who walks the talk.
If you want to work with someone who has also worked on themselves, ask the right questions so you know it is not the credentials they hold, but the inner space that creates the safe container to explore what you bring to a session.

Dear friends,
As I complete my Compassionate Inquiry professional training, I am looking for two people who feel called to engage in three online CI sessions with me between Nov 24 and Dec 19.
These sessions:
✨ are free
✨ will be video recorded (required for my case studies)
✨ require signing a short consent form confirming you agree to the recording
✨ will remain completely private — recordings are only viewed by one CI mentor or facilitator for training purposes
✨ require the ability to commit to all 3 sessions
✨ will be held in English
If you genuinely feel a yes and have space for three sessions in the next three weeks, please message me privately so we can explore if it’s a good fit.
With appreciation,
Ixchel 🌿
