Professional Development & Personal Renewal
This is your opportunity to recharge, revitalize, and relaunch. We blend high-quality therapist CEs with gentle self-care—giving you the opportunity to pause, reflect, and grow.
Our Mission
We empower therapists to learn, heal, and reconnect with their purpose by providing transformative retreat experiences that merge accredited continuing education with restorative well-being. Through supportive, like-minded communities, we foster both professional development and personal renewal—nurturing the healers so they can continue to heal others.
We’re Rooted In Mental Health
My Wellness Retreats was founded by Tomilyn Ward, LPC, MPC, NCC—the founder of Pittsburgh’s My Wellness Center. My Wellness Retreats is an extension of the same values that drive My Wellness Center: ongoing education, supportive environments, and unwavering compassion.
The Power of ELAINA
“Elaina” means bright light. As clinicians, we often serve as bright lights to our clients, helping them discover comfort, peace, and acceptance.
We’re here to be your elaina. Break from the emotional, cognitive, physical, and spiritual burden of the day-to-day and rejuvenate while earning CEs that will empower you to shine even brighter.
Defining ELAINA
Elaina retreats are designed to help us reconnect with that bright light within. They offer space to recover from burnout, restore our energy, and return to our lives—and our work—as the most grounded, vibrant, and whole versions of ourselves.
