Nurse Yourself Retreat in Ubud, Bali

September 22nd-29th

Beautiful rice terraces in the morning at Tegallalang village, Ubud, Bali, Indonesia

Why Ubud, Bali?

Ubud is the centre of Bali and where all aspects of Balinese life come together, making it an exceptional place to visit as there are plenty of things to do in Ubud. Ubud is as spiritual as much as it is a tourist centre and this unique combination makes Ubud one of the top destinations not only in Bali but in the world, making it a must-visit destination during any trip to Bali.

Within the last two decades, Ubud has become an important destination for yoga practitioners thanks to its closeness to nature and the culture’s intrinsic spirituality. Brimming with yoga studios, wellness retreats, and vegetarian/vegan restaurants, many people now regard Ubud as the holistic heart of Southeast Asia.

The Nurse Yourself Retreats were designed to support nurses in connecting and caring for themselves through healthy rituals so they can better care for their patients and those around them.

“How we treat ourselves is in truth how we treat those around us”

The story of Nurse Yourself Retreats

Ever since I was a little girl, I witnessed my mother (my super hero) a Registered Nurse & single mother juggle caring for me and her patients and saw many times she overlooked her health in the process. It was difficult to watch my mom succumb to unhealthy habits and overall not feel healthy and happy herself; even though she tried her best to nurse me and her patients to health. Admiring my mother’s passion for nursing others sparked my desire to become a nurse. In nursing school, I fully became aware of the constant battle between nursing myself and nursing my patients, empathizing with my mother and other healthcare professionals. Most of the time, I would choose my health last and it was not until I noticed the remarkable difference of the care I provided for my patients when I cared for myself where I knew something needed to be done! I coined a term with my nursing friends, Michelle and Diana— “(M)ursing before Nursing” to promote care for (ME-the nurse) before caring for others. I then presented this concept at a Summit in Ohio on Promoting Health and Resilience for Healthcare Professionals. I felt and still feel ignited and passionate about this topic of spreading awareness on all the benefits of promoting health for nurses especially when I saw how my fellow nursing student friends also struggled with their self care rituals.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that.”

— Martin Luther King Jr.

I desire more than anything else to create a healing space for nurses to connect to one another and most importantly connect with their mind, body, and spirit and become the lights for other nurses to do the same.

Michelle Boss

I’ve been a postpartum nurse for 2 years now. I went to USF but stared my career in Denver CO and have lived there since. I feel most empowered when I eat vegan food, eat intuitively, and do group fitness classes with friends! I will support everyone by being a positive light and sharing enthusiasm for everyone’s goals :) also, I teach Zumba and can’t wait to dance w everyone!

When I was growing up I would always look for self worth in others instead of looking at the source aka within myself . I was raised in a family where my father showed love with material things and my mother was always switching diet plans to drop weight. As a young girl this started to develop my mindset on what self worth looked like -what I interpreted what I needed to be. I thought people, mainly boys or men would love me or want me if I looked a certain way or had certain things, suppressing myself worth deeper and deeper.

This drove me into having an eating disorder when I was in my early teens and slowly traveled with me through my 20s when I did my first bodybuilding show. Throughout this period I was in and out of toxic relationships looking for my self worth, striving to be wanted. It wasn't until my marriage ended from domestic assult, the moment I hit the concrete floor I knew my Self worth was way more than this life I was “told “ to live. I found my purpose and awakened my self-worth , fully discovered myself. Going through my self-worth journey, Growing from childhood wounds, mindset reset and manifestation, I’ve found that most people are not the Ill do it tomorrow people, But more so the ones that are committed to taking action now :) This is why I love being a self worth coach, Visualization Sound Healer and Intuitive Eating/ Movement Mentor.
