Authentic retreat experiences from women dentists who stepped out of the operatory and into transformative community.
"This retreat was absolutely amazing! As a busy mom, wife and full time dentist, there is rarely time for me to sleep or find time for myself. The ability to unplug for a weekend was wonderful. I felt rejuvenated and refreshed when I returned home. Thank you to Shivani for planning the perfect weekend filled with yoga, amazing food and wonderful new friends." — Dr. Sarah W., Dentist, Past Retreat Attendee
"Attending the retreat was truly a transformative experience. Every part of the program was so thoughtfully planned, from the engaging sessions to the wellness practices that brought balance and renewal. I left with a refreshed spirit and a deeper appreciation for the importance of rest and wellness in all areas of life." — Dr. Asya, Dentist, Breathe Retreat Attendee
"My experience during this retreat hosted by Dr. Shivani was nothing but magical and transformative. The experience as a whole has nourished my mind-body-soul on a level that I had never experienced. Gathered together with such inspiring and strong individuals, we smiled, we laughed, we cried and we grew so much." — Dr. Delphine J., Dentist, Past Retreat Attendee
"Shivani was an impeccable hostess. Extremely professional, but also very warm, welcoming, kind and empathetic. Excellent yoga teacher too. I absolutely loved everything about this retreat, from the activities, to the workshops, to the energy of the group. Thank you so much for this life changing experience." — Dr. Evy C., Dentist, Align Retreat Attendee
"This is a great reset for any dental professional who is feeling burned out. Shivani has picked out a beautiful, peaceful and health-minded location for this mental and physical transformation. Be prepared for a life transformation." — Dr. Crystal, Dentist, Past Retreat Attendee
"Life changing! Shivani was an impeccable host; she left no stone unturned. I missed the retreat the moment I got to the airport. I would go again and travel overseas to attend another retreat with these beautiful and humble women!" — Dr. Sampada D., Dentist, Past Retreat Attendee
"Creating a life you don't need to recover from." — The core philosophy behind The Reclaim Retreat.
Women in dentistry spend so much of their lives caring for patients, teams, families, and everyone around them that it's easy to lose touch with themselves. This retreat is an opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and rediscover what it feels like to feel energized, joyful, and fully alive.
"This isn't about escaping dentistry. It's about creating a life you don't need to recover from."
