Guided Soul Retreats to Support Your Healing Journey

with Sarah & Michael Galambos

LEARN MORE

This was THE MOST MASSIVE trauma healing I have ever experienced. Sarah is absolutely AMAZING at the work she does. She introduced me to parts of myself, that I didn’t even realize were there. She cleared and released me of many past traumas. I physically felt them falling out of my body by muscle contractions. She has changed my life! I left that old version of myself somewhere between Blue Ridge, Ga, and Shelby Alabama”.

To say that this was a life changing event for me is an understatement. This 4 day retreat replaced 30 years of therapy for me. Never have I connected to my inner child discovering some painful yet beautiful truths around my upbringing and mother’s love.

Jeanne
What started as a simple search for support has become one of the most transformative parts of my life. I’ve now attended multiple retreats with this incredible group in the grounding mountains of Blue Ridge, and every time I return, it feels like coming home to a soul family I didn’t know I was missing. Each time I attend, I leave lighter, clearer, and more grounded. The community is genuine, the work is powerful, and the mountains themselves feel like part of the healing.

Tisha
Soul Stretch curate’s retreats catering to the needs of the attendees with an open mind and heart. Looking back on my Soul Stretch journey thus far I’m amazed by the many little wins and major breakthroughs I’ve experienced here. Each session with Soul Stretch feels unique and thoughtfully crafted, from guided group meditations that encourage deep reflection, to creative workshops that foster emotional awareness. The retreats themselves are powerful opportunities for rejuvenation, where I continue to gain insight and inspiration surrounded by nature and compassionate guides.

Maria
If I could give 10 stars I would!! Soul Stretch Retreat exceeded my expectations! From the warm "Welcome home " first greeting to the wave good bye at the end. I left the cozy cocoon of love and kindness in the mountains of North Georgia full of hope , new perspectives , and a new lens through which I experience myself and others in this journey we call life. Thank you Sarah and Michael❤️

“I feel stuck…”

↑↑↑

The stuff that kept you safe has turned into the stuff that keeps you stuck.

We hear this again and again when someone – like you – finds your way here.

You feel exhausted , overwhelmed, angry and disconnected.

Tired of living groundhog day on autopilot and ready to have your insides match your outsides, to be reconnected in alignment.

You’ve done the work – therapy, in or outpatient treatment, and do-it-yourself self-development (you definitely have Man’s Search for Meaning and The Four Agreements on a bookshelf somewhere).

I bet you’re even into astrology, numerology and likely all the ologies.

(No shade. Me, too. I’m an Aquarius Sun, 2/4 Mental projector with a 24/6 Life Path Number and live for my tarot readings).

And the thing is, you’ve consumed the information. Which is beautiful.

And begs your next question: now what?

HOP ON A CALL WITH ME

We’ve built the business on the back of heartbreak and hope since 2018.

What started as a small group of folks seeking support has transformed into a soul family coming together for high-end spiritual healing retreats in Georgia, within the grounding mountains of Blue Ridge or the healing light vortex of Tybee Island.

How do you make real, sustainable changes?

Not just small changes where you ultimately experience the slow fade into the path of least resistance but true, lasting transformation.

This is what Soul Stretch Retreats can help you make happen.

“The experiences I had during the retreat have truly transformed my life. Now, I not only have the tools to navigate challenges, but I also carry a deep sense of peace and resilience. If you are seeking true healing, I cannot recommend Soul Stretch Retreat enough-it is a gift beyond words.”

-Yolanda

What Led Me to Spiritual Healing Retreats

It took me 47 years to know I’m not too sensitive, fat or weird. I’ve spent the past decade healing out of a toxic family system while cultivating the courage to live a life true to myself, not a life spent making everyone else happy.

I can help you move through all that muck without so many tower moments, breakdowns & dark nights of the soul.

I’m lucky in that my husband, Michael Galambos is by my side on this spiritual healing journey as a practicing doctor of gastroenterology. He brings the neuroscience and the physiology to our wellness retreats, grounding our soulful work in evidence-based insight. He’s helped participants understand how their body keeps the score and their minds respond to healing. Together, we blend science and psychospirituality to create spiritual healing retreats that nourish your whole self.

Co‑Founder | Physician | Scientist | Medicine Man in the Woods

I’ve always been drawn to the quiet power of nature—hiking, backpacking, and finding solace in the vastness of the wilderness. About a decade ago, a profound spiritual awakening changed everything for me: how I saw myself, my patients, and the world.

Diving into the science of emotion and human behavior didn’t just shift my perspective—it transformed the way I practice medicine and how I connect with people. It opened up a level of contentment and happiness I had never imagined.

The Science & Soul Behind Your Retreats

I bring over 30 years of medical experience into the Soul Stretch space, grounding our retreats in real-world knowledge of the body and mind:

Board-certified Gastroenterologist with a subspecialty in Hepatology
Co-founder of the liver transplant program at Piedmont Atlanta (launched 15+ years ago)
Private practice physician in Atlanta for more than three decades
BS, MS in Organic Chemistry, and MD from Emory University
Residency in Seattle, Washington, then back to Emory for a fellowship in Gastroenterology

I bridge cutting-edge medical science with emotional awareness, energy work, and mindful presence—helping you understand not just what you feel, but why you feel it, and how to shift it.

In retreat, I’m your grounded guide: part scientist, part wise sage, part wilderness-loving medicine man.

Meet Michael

Co‑Founder | Spiritual Guide | Healer | Channel

I’m Sarah, and I’m here to guide you back to your SOUL.

I’m a self-described Spiritual BADASS—a “Weird Barbie” blend of teacher, healer, and psychic medium, wrapped in the relatable form of a nature-loving, Gen X mom with a rock-solid, mystical connection to Source energy I couldn’t break even when I tried.

I’ve been where many of our guests start:
Stuck in cycles of self-sabotage, flirting with a slow, subconscious self-destruction, and wondering if life could ever feel different. Our retreats actually began as my own lifeline—created first to help myself heal.

Some days, I’m still amazed I’m here.
But years of deep inner work, energy mastery, and radical self-responsibility changed everything. Now, I live with an open heart and a bright, unwavering light that I use to guide others back to themselves.

My work is deeply intuitive—and also deeply trained:

Lifeworks Life Coach
RYT 200 Yoga Teacher
Usui Reiki Master
Yoga 12 Step Recovery
Trauma Certified
Internal Family Systems (IFS) Informed Facilitator

In retreat, I’m your spiritual guide, healer, and psychic medium—here to help you meet and heal wounded parts of yourself, reconnect with your own inner wisdom, and remember who you really are.
