You became a clinician to solve problems…
…the system turned you into a symptom manager.
Fatigue. Cycle irregularity. Mood shifts. Pelvic pain. Your patients arrive with complex, overlapping presentations. The modern visit hands you twelve minutes and a fragmented playbook to address the full clinical picture. You default to addressing isolated complaints rather than identifying the underlying hormonal, metabolic, and psychosocial contributors that drive these issues.
Sedona is where you get the tools to go further.
With advanced diagnostic frameworks, evidence-based pharmacology updates, and experiential learning tools, you'll discover a path to transform your practice. Assess, diagnose, and treat hormonal imbalances, pelvic dysfunction, PCOS, endometriosis, fertility challenges, and chronic conditions across the female lifespan.
Anticipate all the benefits that you will take back to patient care, while experiencing five magical days at the Sedona Mago Retreat Center. Surrounded by 173 acres of high-desert red rock country with trails to explore, healing vortex sites, an on-site labyrinth, and a meditation garden to wander through. You'll finally have the space to exhale, reset, and reconnect with the clinician — and person — you came here to be.
This retreat is limited to 40 clinicians — by design. Small enough that every voice is heard, every case gets real attention, and the experience stays personal. When those spots are filled, registration closes. There are no waitlists and no "we'll run it again." If this is the year you finally invest in the clinician you know you can be, this is the moment to do it.
Step away from the exam room.
Come back a better clinician.
Led by Jaclyn "Jackie" Piasta, DNP, WHNP-BC, MSCP, this first-of-its-kind retreat sends you home with:

Five clinical intensives.
Every stage of a woman's life.
One transformative retreat.
Pharmacology Pit Stops: Interspersed through the retreat topics. Time to focus on pharmacological decision making, dosing adjustments, contraindications, drug-supplement interactions, and patient counseling.
Master Hormone Imbalances: What the Lab Values Aren't Telling You
Your patients don't present in textbook categories. 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
- Pharmacologic updates in thyroid management and hormone replacement therapy (Rx)
- Case Mapping Circles: Collaborative analysis of challenging hormone presentations
Pelvic Health: The Conditions Your Patients Have Been Told to Live With
Pelvic dysfunction rarely travels alone. 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
- Pharmacologic management of infections and chronic pelvic pain (Rx)
- Trauma-informed, culturally responsive care — practical frameworks, not just principles

From Trying to Conceive to Postpartum Recovery: Practice so Nothing Gets Missed
Because missing something at any stage of this journey has consequences that last a lifetime.

- Holistic prenatal and postnatal care for needs providers too often overlook
- Pharmacologic safety across conception, pregnancy, and lactation (Rx)
- Clinical Challenge Swaps: Evaluate challenging cases for clinical blind spots and corrective strategies
The Menopause Care Your Patients Have Been Begging For
Too many women are told their symptoms are "just part of aging." You'll have the evidence and 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
- Treatment Plan Labs: Build individualized menopause strategies from real cases
See the Whole Woman. Treat Her That Way.
Women's health doesn't live in a single organ system or a single appointment. The capstone brings it together.
- Autoimmune disorders, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive health across the lifespan
- Pharmacologic and lifestyle interventions for chronic conditions (Rx)
- Sociocultural influences: Stress, burnout, and relationship health in the clinical conversation
- Practice Transformation: Future influence on patient care in women's health

- Differentiate functional versus pathologic causes of menstrual irregularities and hormone imbalance.

- Evaluate pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic interventions for hormone and thyroid disorders.
- Develop individualized care plans integrating nutrition, stress modulation, and pharmacology.
- Assess pelvic floor, bladder, and bowel dysfunction using evidence-based screening tools.
- Formulate trauma-informed strategies for sexual pain and pelvic health concerns.
- Manage pharmacologic options for pelvic and urogenital conditions, including contraindications.
- Design fertility and infertility care protocols incorporating diagnostics and lifestyle interventions.
- Appraise medication safety during conception, pregnancy, and lactation.
- Implement comprehensive postpartum management addressing physical and mental recovery.
- Evaluate metabolic, cognitive, and cardiovascular changes associated with healthy aging.
- Plan individualized menopause management including pharmacologic and alternative therapies.
- Integrate current evidence for osteoporosis prevention and treatment into patient care.
- Determine best-practice interventions for autoimmune, cardiac, and pain syndromes common in women.

- Critique current research limitations and risks related to hormonal and women's health therapies.
- Demonstrate reflective practice strategies to prevent burnout and enhance clinical resilience.
Throughout the retreat, Clinical Compass Walks through Sedona's red rock landscape and Professional Renewal Circles offer space to integrate learning, reconnect with your clinical purpose, and return home not just informed — but genuinely inspired to practice differently.

- Covered patios and meditation areas tucked into the landscape
- Healing vortexes and red rock trails steps from your door
- Awe-inspiring sunrises, incredible horizons, and desert silence after dark
Nourishment, not compromise.
Three pesco-vegetarian meals a day, made fresh — the kind of food that converts skeptics and has everyone quietly planning their morning around the chia pudding. Cold-pressed juices made on-site.
I didn't think I'd do pesco-veg for five days... but wow. I'd go back for the chia pudding alone. — Celestee, Past Guest at Mago
The sky does things here
you'll carry home.
The day opens gold.
Wake before your first session to the high desert turning copper — and balloons drifting up over the red rocks in the distance.
More stars than you've seen in years.
Sedona is a certified International Dark Sky Community. Out at Mago, the Milky Way comes out naked-eye bright.
Your classroom extends beyond four walls.
Gentle by design, with a summit for the ambitious. All within an hour.
Boynton Canyon
A wide, easy canyon walk into one of Sedona's famed vortex sites.
Doe Mountain
A short mesa climb to 360° red-rock views. A favorite for golden hour.
Bell Rock Pathway
Gentle, well-marked, walkable at any fitness level, the iconic formation beside you.
Cathedral Rock
A quick, steep climb to the most photographed red rock in the world.
Clinical Compass Walks are built into the grounds — but when your body wants more, the trailheads closest to Mago are minutes away.
An afternoon in Sedona.
Some afternoons belong to the trail. Others belong to Sedona itself. The kind of afternoon where you wander, linger, and remember what it feels like to have nowhere to be.
- Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village — Cobblestone courtyards and galleries styled after old Guadalajara.
- Uptown galleries & cafes — Southwestern art and a cortado in the late-day light.
- Chapel of the Holy Cross — An architectural landmark carved directly into the red rock face.
Good to know: Mago is intentionally secluded, about 35–50 minutes from uptown Sedona, which makes a free afternoon in town feel like a true escape. Many attendees add a night on either end to soak in more of what Sedona offers. Just note that CE boards require full attendance through departure day.
Retreat Schedule
All times listed in local time.
*CE is awarded during these specified times. Licensing boards require full attendance to the entire retreat, including departure day, to receive any credit for the entire retreat. Please plan travel accordingly.
