Trauma Recovery Retreats
for Deep Transformation

Our intensive trauma retreats in Scottsdale offer an alternative to traditional weekly therapy, an immersive 3-5 day experience where clinical expertise meets holistic care. Whether you’re working through PTSD, complex trauma, childhood wounds, or emotional pain from difficult life experiences, these retreats provide the focused space and personalized support needed for profound healing.

At Redefine Wellness and Treatment, we understand that trauma affects every dimension of your being—disrupting your nervous system, fragmenting your sense of self, and disconnecting you from your body and spirit. Through a carefully balanced integration of evidence-based therapies, trauma-informed bodywork, breathwork, and mindfulness practices, we create a safe container for you to process stored pain, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with your innate capacity for healing and resilience.

“I’m so happy to say I would 100% recommend this place over and over”

5 star review - graphic with 5 stars
What I was most happy about and sold me on getting therapy myself was how caring everyone is. And it’s not time limited. Like if you need an extra 20 mins cause it was a hard session then they will work with you to get that extra 20 mins. And they didn’t seem rushed to get to the next person. I’m so happy to say I would 100% recommend this place over and over.

“Highly recommend if you’re looking for something focused and personal.”

5 star review - graphic with 5 stars
I did a 5-day intensive at Redefine and it was exactly what I needed. The space was calm and private, and the sessions were deep but manageable. It gave me time to slow down, reset, and really focus on things I hadn’t had space to deal with. The team was supportive without being pushy — they really respected where I was at. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something focused and personal.
