PTSD Retreat for Female Veterans and First Responders
..........
The Inner North Star PTSD Retreat Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, founded by Michelle Dutro in 2018. The sole focus is to lessen the adverse effects that PTSD has on the lives of Veterans and First-Responders.
This Inner North Star Women's PTSD Retreat Center has chosen to focus on women for two reasons: Firstly, there's a notable scarcity of dedicated programs for women. The other is that female veterans and first-responders have vastly different experiences, in those career fields than their male counterparts. Thus, we work with trauma for women differently than what one would expect in a program designed for men.
As an Air Force Veteran and former Firefighter, I've personally experienced the profound toll acute and ongoing stress can take on our mental, emotional, and physical health.
I've also witnessed the effects on countless others I have worked alongside which include: depression, isolation, strained relationships, addiction, and suicide.
It was for this reason that I have spent the better part of two decades finding the latest techniques and tools to help those suffering from the effects of PTSD.
During our 4-day/3-night Retreat, you'll learn the three techniques that have consistently shown the highest success rates in clinical trials and countless studies for reducing PTSD symptoms. All retreats are by application only. The link can be found at the bottom of the page.
Some of the improvements:
• Better sleep
• A consistent sense of inner peace
• A renewed outlook on life
• Clarity of thought

Testimonial from a Women's PTSD Retreat:
"The average person comes with trust issues, but I put all of those aside and trusted Michelle and her ways and her workings and her studies, and her knowledge. And it was worth everything to me.
And now I have a way to live life. That is priceless and I couldn't be more thankful and more grateful to what she has given me."
- Shay, Navy Veteran

During the Retreat We Focus on the Three Pillars for Creating a Fulfilling life:
Your State - Your Beliefs - Your Vision
Your State of Being
The first step in creating a sense of Inner Peace regardless of outer turmoil all start with mastering your State of Being.
This is a skill we can all learn. With a continued practice of Tapping, HeartMath, and Yoga Nidra this is within reach.
Learning how to Master your State of Being vastly improves the quality of every relationship you have – co-workers, your significant other, your children, every person you run across during your day, and most importantly the relationship you have with yourself.
If you have a compelling future... you can endure nearly anything, to get there.
One of the most beneficial components of our psyche is that you don't have to have every last thing in place, in order to feel happiness or fulfillment. You just need to know you are moving in the direction of something you value.
Aligning your values and goals is a key component of fulfillment and creating a compelling future.
You must have a clear VISION of what you want your future to hold. By the end of the retreat, you will have a life plan in place and clear steps of how to make that plan, a reality.
