Nurture & Nourish:
Nervous System Reset
A day to reset, reconnect, and rise with Dr. Briana Botsford, ND
A one-day immersive retreat in Edmonton, AB for high-achieving women ready to reset, refocus, and recharge before the busyness of December.
Does this sound familiar?
As the year winds down, my calendar fills with things I feel I “should” do but not always the things I want to do. Sometimes life moves so fast I don’t even stop to ask myself: what would truly nourish me right now?
Have you ever felt that way? Like you haven’t even had a moment to slow down, to dream, to think about what would actually meet your own needs?
As a high-achieving woman, I’ve told myself I had self-care “handled.” I’ve nailed my nutrition and exercise routines but rest and reflection? Those I have to intentionally carve out. When I do, I can hear what my inner self truly needs to feel energized, grounded, and enthusiastic.
For me, it’s less about what to do, and more about how to be.
Imagine this instead…
Starting December feeling calm, centered, and in control
A nervous system reset that leaves you grounded and resilient
The clarity to focus on what matters most (and let go of what doesn’t)
Feeling empowered in your health and confident in your choices
The energy to be present and actually enjoy the season (without burning out)
That’s exactly what this one-day retreat is designed for.

Meet Your Facilitator
Why I Created This Retreat
In 2022, I was diagnosed with postpartum depression and anxiety, 18 months too late. From the outside, it looked like I was holding it all together. Inside, the house was burning down.
That’s the truth about high-achieving women: our coping strategies work… until they don’t. For me, it was postpartum. For others, it might be perimenopause, a career shift, grief, divorce, or simply a string of sleepless nights. Whatever the cause, we all need space to reset.
I began my healing by reaching for support and giving myself permission to pause. In March 2023, I traveled solo to Costa Rica, the best gift I’ve ever given myself. Each solo retreat helps me return home feeling brave, strong, and deeply alive.
While I can’t take you to Costa Rica (yet!), I’ve created this immersive one-day retreat in Edmonton’s River Valley to offer the same feeling: a space to exhale, reset, and come back to yourself.
As a Naturopathic Doctor, endurance athlete, and women’s health advocate, I’ve spent years helping women understand the deep connection between stress, hormones, and life transitions. This retreat isn’t just about learning. It’s about guided action through gentle movement, nourishing food, nervous system support, and community.
You don’t need to keep pushing. You deserve to feel calm, grounded, and strong. Let’s begin with one powerful day.

Yes, we’ll cover health education, but also the deeper “why” behind it: aligning your actions with your values.
Walk away renewed
With a clear plan to stay grounded, resilient, and committed to a joyful close to 2025.
