Girlfriend Getaway Presenters

Keynote Speaker

What if your potential is already alive — simply waiting to be enlivened from a higher perspective?

In this opening keynote and live channeling experience, Ava Orah invites participants into a playful yet profound exploration of inner growth through the multidimensional guidance of DiYeena, a beloved Pleiadian presence known for her warmth, humor, and surprising wisdom.

Blending grounded insight, energetic attunement, and live channeled guidance (with time for a question or two from the audience), this experience helps activate the “seeds of possibility” within — offering fresh ways of seeing, healing, and connecting with oneself and others.

Expect laughter, clarity, and an expanded sense of what’s possible when higher wisdom meets embodied humanity.

Discover the Deeper Story Your Eyes Reveal!

Iridology is an assessment tool analyzing the iris of the eye for physical and emotional health. The eyes hold the blueprint of your soul and history. Each eye holds different information according to your ancestry. By studying the patterns, colors and fibers of your iris, we can uncover inherited tendencies, stress patterns, and imbalances that may be affecting your physical and emotional health

Through the compassionate lens of Iridology, I am able to get to the root core cause of physical, emotional and relationship struggles.

A slide show will be presented of live irises, showing all of the implications the eyes reveal, mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

 At her Booth:

Sunshine will be taking eye photos with a camera that has a special lens for the iris. She will be offering a reduced rate for a session that will be set up privately over zoom.

My approach is deeply heart-centered, meeting you where you are, getting underneath to the core root causes of imbalances within. Using many different modalities of healing, bringing one to greater vitality, clarity, and inner peace.

Take the First Step Today on Your    Journey Back To Health

Do you have questions about starting your path back to health? 

Jennifer Baer, Nurse Practitioner and her team at Horizons of Health combine an integrative, functional medicine approach.

Functional medicine takes a holistic approach to restoring and maintaining vibrant health –  seeking to understand and resolve underlying causes of health issues and chronic symptoms from the inside out, rather than merely masking signs and symptoms with expensive prescription meds. This scientifically-backed approach recognizes that for optimal function, we need to treat the body as an interconnected system of organs that need to operate in perfect harmony.

Balancing Hormones Naturally

Are hormone imbalances wrecking your life?  So many of the symptoms we blame on aging, being stressed, or "just being a woman" can be due to imbalances in key hormones. The secret to unraveling those symptoms is understanding where you are unknowingly sabotaging yourself, what advanced lab testing is a must, and what you need to rebalance your body. Are you feeling drained all the time?

Have that "wired than tired" feeling, too?

Perhaps you are battling brain fog, increased anxiety, and trouble getting restful sleep.

These are all symptoms of a hormone imbalance and are not just a sign of "getting older" or feeling stressed. Discover what your doctor may have missed and why it's time for a smarter approach to resolving imbalances once and for all.

Chinese medicine for Women’s Health

Chinese medicine dates back thousands of years. It is a complete medical system that sees the person as an aspect of nature. 

This means that the natural world manifests through and influences the health of the individual. Not only this, but a person is seen as a whole. Mind and body are one, not separate, and every system of the body 

is an interconnected web. 

We are made of five primary forces and substances regulated by Qi or vital life energy, and governed  by the ever changing dance of yin (water) and yang (fire).

In this class we’ll learn about yin and yang, Qi, and the five elements. Part of this learning is coming to understand how you may be living in harmony with or blocking the flow of vitality through your mind-body-spirit system and your life. 

By understanding the natural ebb and flow

of nature and your internal rhythms, you’ll better know how to move more gracefully through seasonal changes, life changes, and to care for yourself. You’ll come to understand the importance of your own water and fire, how they influence the aging process, and how to adjust your routine and diet as we move into fire season: summer.

What if your body is not breaking down, but responding with extraordinary intelligence? 

What if pain, fatigue, hormonal shifts, or chronic symptoms are not signs of failure, but signs of precision. Signs of a system doing exactly what it was designed to do in order to protect, adapt, and preserve life?   

In this introductory talk, we will gently explore the quiet wisdom of the body and the deeper order beneath what we often label as “problems.” 

Rather than rushing to fix or override symptoms, we’ll consider them as messages, expressions of a body that is constantly prioritizing survival, safety, and healing in ways that may not always be comfortable, but are always purposeful. 

This is an invitation to think differently. To soften the urge to battle your body and instead become curious about what it is communicating. To reflect on how the body allocates energy, why healing follows its own rhythms, and how the very things we resist may be pointing us toward something essential. 

This talk is not about answers or protocols. It is about planting seeds. 

Seeds of curiosity.

 Seeds of trust. 

Seeds of possibility. 

When we begin to listen rather than struggle, new relationships with our bodies emerge and with them, the potential for profound and lasting transformation. 

Dr. Kelli Patenaude has spent nearly two decades in practice guiding women and families to move out of fear and into trust by helping them recognize their bodies not as obstacles, but as allies in realizing their fullest potential.
