Neurodivergent Humans, We See You. You deserve a place to unmask safely and sensory soothe in peace.
We'll help you harness the chaos and channel your creativity
We know that Neurodivergent Burnout isn't as simple as bubble baths + self-care to be able to recharge + reset.
As Neurodivergent Humans and Business Owners, Gabrielle and I get it. That's why we've created a retreat specifically for ND business owners, to be able to safely unmask, stim, sensory soothe, special interest dump, nerd out, and recharge.
Burnout isn’t uncommon for entrepreneurs. We hear about it all the time. It only takes a quick Google search to find millions of results for “business owner burnout.”
It's hard to feel creative in our businesses when we're constantly overwhelmed, distracted, or our executive functioning isn't supported.
As a Neurodivergent Business Owner, your path to creating and relaxing is as unique as your Neurotype. Don't Worry- We've Got You!
All Things Private Practice has teamed up with Gabrielle Juliano-Villani to welcome you to Belize!
Sweet Songs Jungle Lodge is nestled along the banks of the Macal River in San Ignacio, Belize. Surrounded by lush tropical forest, the lodge offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience of staying in a real treehouse. Guests enjoy the infinity pool overlooking the jungle and the incredible wildlife and bird watching. At the base of the lodge is a private beach with complimentary tubes for floating, kayaks for exploring, and evening bonfires. Just next door to the lodge, is the Belize Botanic Garden.
If this sounds like you, you’re in the right place...
- You're an incredibly creative Neurodivergent Entrepreneur, but you often struggle to follow through on all of your ideas, or take the first step.
- Unlike the burnout experienced by neurotypical entrepreneurs, which comes from overcommitting and overworking, neurodivergent burnout is harder to reset from because it also involves being continually overstimulated and having to over-adapt.
-
This is why we’ve carefully curated a retreat experience for neurodivergent business owners that provides a much-needed safe haven where you can unmask, rest, and recharge. Plus, you’ll discover healing tools and techniques that can be used long after the retreat ends.
-
You're a Neurodivergent Business Owner in a Neurotypical World. No matter how much you do to "stay afloat," you constantly feel like a "sinking ship."
-
You've been masking for most of your life, and it's been unbearably exhausting on your sensory and nervous systems.
-
You are really fuc*ing creative! But, you often get stuck in executive function distress, or find yourself easily distracted and overwhelmed....unable to put your brilliant ideas and dreams out to the world.

- Learn Sensory Soothing and Relaxation Techniques that actually work for our neurotypes!
- Gabrielle will be leading healing rituals and sound baths by the beautiful infinity pool.
- Strategize ways that you can finally organize your creativity and chaos, allowing you to confidently put your business goals out into the world!
- Connect only as Neurodivergent People can. Think special interest sharing and info dumping near the pool, in the rainforest, and while we tour the Mayan Ruins.
- Create an action plan that helps you navigate the next year in your business to help you start to scale with intentionality and accountability.
- Incorporate values-driven businesses, allowing you to reignite your passion and creativity
- Have group coaching sessions with other successful, like-minded Neurodivergent leaders, allowing you to bounce ideas off one another while supporting each other’s visions

Nervous About Sharing a Room? Bring a Friend or Join Solo, and make a lifelong connection.
We totally understand the nerves. This is why we send out roommate questionnaires ensuring that everyone is paired up with the perfect fit. We then introduce everyone, virtually, so that you can get to know each other. We're all Neurodivergent humans here, and you'll be sure to be surrounded with people who actually GET IT.
You'll hardly be in your room, because you'll be somewhere in the resort, living your best life, relaxing, and connecting with other Neurodivergent Entrepreneurs.
