Here's What They've Been Saying

What an amazing time with Breasties especially for those who have their upcoming surgeries. What a great way to get more information and a literal hands on experience about the journey they are going to embark on. It was a fun time with powerful women who respected each other and shared their stories. Thanks Breastie Retreats!!

The Breasties Retreat provided such an incredibly unique experience — one that created a space where I felt comfortable, confident, strong, supported, and safe. While it is difficult to articulate the love this community of women continues to generate, the love I felt throughout the entire weekend was authentic, beautiful and profoundly powerful.

I’m currently battling cancer for the second time. First time was ovarian cancer when I was eleven, and now I’m battling breast cancer at the age of 23. This retreat was so special for me. I bonded with women who have gone through, or are going through experiences so similar to mine. It is so good to know that I’m not alone. I felt refreshed, and happy when the weekend was over. I feel like I have made friendships that’ll last a lifetime.

I’d never imagined that one weekend could have such a profound effect on my day to day life, even now, weeks later. Breastie retreats reminded me the extent of my own inner power, but also showed me that I don’t have to do it alone. Nothing is more powerful than knowing how strong you are, and for the moments when you forget, knowing your girl gang will always have your back.

The retreat was just 4 weeks after surgery and I knew it was the best possible time for me to attend this retreat. Everything that I was thinking, feeling and learning about the prophylactic double mastectomy was fresh in my mind and helping women by sharing my experience is something that I wanted to do, especially since that's exactly what prepared me the most. The weekend was filled with beautiful, fearless women that were able to connect through something that is scary to some, but something that we all overcame one way or another.
