Restore what's been lost, in Sedona.
Most CE happens in hotel ballrooms. Fluorescent lighting, recycled air, a sad coffee station, and a parking-lot view that quietly drains your focus, your patience, and the reason you started.
This isn't that. You now have an alternative. Access to a peaceful, rejuvenating setting to learn in.
Sedona Mago Retreat sits on 173 acres of high-desert red rock country, tucked into the kind of landscape people have been calling sacred for thousands of years.
You won't see a strip mall. You won't hear a highway. You'll see juniper, manzanita, and somewhere around day two, you'll realize your jaw isn't clenched anymore.
Sedona has a reputation. You don’t have to buy into vortexes to notice what your nervous system does without a freeway outside the window.
That's the part that no hotel CE can replicate.
Striking Landscapes. Sacred Pause. World-Class Education.
Women's health is heavy material. Hormone transitions, trauma-informed pelvic care, sexual health conversations, the patients you've been thinking about on the drive home — none of it integrates well into short conference session hitting just the superficial details.
Sedona Mago was built for the kind of learning that actually changes how you practice: small group, immersive, with a slowed down pace to connect with fellow providers who understand your challenges.
And honestly, the in-between hours might be your favorite part:
- Hiking red rock trails and vortex sites within walking distance of your room
- Wandering the meditation garden and on-site labyrinth — quiet outdoor space built for reflection
- Eating plant-forward meals prepared on-site
- Settling into accommodations on the property — no rental cars, no Ubers, no logistics
- Yoga classes and spa services on site
You could earn CE anywhere… OR you can earn CE here and come home different — sharper clinically, steadier personally, and reminded why you went into this work in the first place.

Learn Differently. Practice Confidently.
Case Mapping Circles dissect complex hormone presentations with peers working the same patient population.
Root Cause Rounds pull pelvic health and fertility into the same conversation — because in real patients, they are.
Pharmacology Labs to sharpen the prescribing instincts the algorithms can't teach.
And when the clinical intensity needs a release, Clinical Compass Walks through Sedona's red rock landscape and Evening Renewal Circles give the material room to settle.
Why You’ll Love this Retreat
Tara Harding, DNP, FNP-C, operates Simply You Wellness, delivering results to women's health patients who have hit roadblocks and disappointments with previous providers
— on the full scope of diagnoses, from PMDD, endometriosis, infertility, miscarriage, PCOS, and more.
You'll leave with:
- Clinical confidence to walk into your next complex case knowing how to work it up — not just refer it out
- Pharmacologic mastery for the prescribing decisions based on current women's health research and findings
- Practical tools and protocols you'll use the Monday you get back to your clinic
- Diagnostic frameworks that help you read patterns, not just lab values
- Women's Health Specialist Certification (CWHS) — a $199.99 application fee included in your tuition, recognized through Evergreen Certifications
Return home with a new credential, diagnostic and prescribing frameworks built for real patients, and a clinical network you can consult long after the retreat ends.

Stop Managing Symptoms. Start Solving Problems.
You didn't go into practice to manage symptoms indefinitely.
But the 15-minute visit doesn't give you time to untangle the fatigue-plus-irregular-cycles-plus-mood-changes presentation. Training didn't cover the PCOS-plus-insulin-resistance-plus-pelvic-pain overlap. And there's no algorithm for the perimenopausal patient your gut says is more than "just anxious."
These are the cases that wear you down - not because you're not capable, but because you've never had the framework, the time, or the clinical community to fully work them up.
Five days in Sedona changes that. You'll leave with the diagnostic frameworks to work up what's been stumping you - knowing exactly when to treat, when to refer, and how to stop second-guessing both.
When patients finally feel seen, your clinical reputation will build itself.
We’ll see you in Sedona!

Women's Health Certification Retreat: Clinical Mastery. Root Cause Thinking. Renewed Purpose.
The Women's Health Certification Retreat blends cutting-edge science with meaningful reflection - offering a rare opportunity to sharpen your clinical expertise, restore your passion for practice, and leave with tools you can use Monday morning.
Module 1: Master Hormone Imbalances: From Physiology to Confident Management
Your patients don't present in textbook categories. This module gives you the clinical framework to think across hormone systems, not just react to lab values.
- Female hormone physiology: What the research actually tells us (and what it doesn't)
- Diagnostic interpretation beyond the reference range: Reading patterns, not just numbers
- Advanced management of PCOS, PMS, PMDD, and endometriosis - moving from protocol to precision
- Pharmacologic updates in thyroid management and hormone replacement therapy (Rx)
- Navigating evidence gaps and controversies in hormone therapy: How to prescribe with confidence when the data is messy
- Case Mapping Circles: Collaborative, case-based analysis of challenging hormone presentations
Module 2: Pelvic Health & Reproductive Function: A Whole-Patient Approach
Pelvic dysfunction rarely travels alone. This module integrates the physical, neurological, and psychosocial dimensions of pelvic health. So you can stop chasing isolated symptoms and start finding real answers.
- Comprehensive assessment of pelvic floor dysfunction, interstitial cystitis, bowel irregularities, and sexual pain
- Evidence-based diagnostic tools and strategic referral pathways that keep you in the driver's seat of your patient's care
- Pharmacologic management of infections and chronic pelvic pain (Rx)
- Trauma-informed and culturally responsive care: Practical frameworks, not just principles
- Root Cause Rounds: Integrative case analysis pulling pelvic health and fertility into the same clinical conversation
Module 3: Fertility, Pregnancy & Postpartum: Supporting the Full Maternal Journey
From preconception counseling to postpartum recovery, this module equips you to provide evidence-based, compassionate care at every stage - and to recognize when something is being missed.
- Fertility optimization and systematic infertility evaluation: What to assess, what to order, and when to refer
- Holistic prenatal and postnatal care: Addressing the physical and emotional needs providers too often overlook
- Pharmacologic safety across conception, pregnancy, and lactation - prescribing with confidence, not hesitation (Rx)
- Case-based Clinical Decision-Making: Postpartum mood disorders, lactation challenges, and recovery
- Strengthening communication and care continuity across the maternal health journey
Module 4: Perimenopause, Menopause & Healthy Aging: Rewriting the Narrative for Midlife Women
Too many women are told their symptoms are "just part of aging." This module gives you the clinical language, the evidence, and the tools to do better.
- Metabolic and cardiovascular transitions in midlife: What to evaluate and when to act
- Current evidence on hormone therapy and appropriate supplementation (Rx)
- Cognitive function, weight management, and nutrition optimization for aging women
- Addressing research gaps and ethical prescribing: How to lead with evidence while honoring patient values
- Treatment Plan Development Labs: Build individualized menopause care strategies using real-case scenarios
Module 5: Chronic Conditions & the Whole Woman: Integrating Clinical and Sociocultural Care
Women's health doesn't live in a single organ system or a single appointment. This capstone module brings it all together, from managing complex chronic conditions to sustaining your own clinical resilience.
- Autoimmune disorders, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive health: Evidence-based management strategies for women across the lifespan
- Pharmacologic and lifestyle interventions for chronic conditions (Rx)
- Sociocultural influences on women's health: Stress, burnout, and relationship health - and why they belong in the clinical conversation
- Case Integration Workshop: Synthesize full-spectrum, whole-patient care approaches across all five modules
- Peer Reflection Panel: Clinical application, professional resilience, and the kind of collaborative growth that doesn't happen in a lecture hall
Throughout the retreat, Clinical Compass Walks through Sedona's red rock landscape and Evening Renewal Circles offer space to integrate learning, reconnect with your clinical purpose, and return home not just informed — but genuinely inspired to practice differently.
