Come join us in Ecuador!
New Retreat scheduled for May 2023
Experience this unique opportunity to connect with a small group of other female cancer survivors in a beautiful environment. This retreat features daily meditation, health coaching, and transformational experiences in nature. We will rediscover ourselves in equine-assisted personal development (no riding, no horse experience needed), recharge with a vegan cooking class and medicinal herb cleansing, and relax in natural hot springs.
This is an all-inclusive trip with 6 nights of hotel accommodation in a shared double or private single room and three meals a day. In addition to Sabrina, a local English speaking tour guide and other collaborators will be available at all times to ensure a safe, comfortable, fun, and engaging environment.

We aim for clarity and control, presenting you with facts rather than fads.

Learn how to...
...increase your resilience post cancer treatment
...identify the best integrative health habits

What to expect
Let's get to know each other in a free call.
In our first virtual session we will assess your strengths, needs, and goals.
We will work together through psycho-education and coaching to support you in optimizing your health holistically.
Ongoing consultations are booked according to your needs and schedule.
As a cancer survivor, so many aspects of your life have to be recalibrated to experience wholeness again. Using the WholeHealth Alphabet, all the different areas of mind-body wellness don’t have to feel disjointed. They all influence one another and we can integrate them with some simple basic concepts grounded in science.
WholeHealth Immersion
Retreats will fully immerse you in an environment designed for healing and growth. Each retreat week is set in a beautiful exotic location and features daily dynamic meditations, skills and support groups, and equine-assisted personal development. Enjoy clean meals, time in nature, and inspiring connections.
Adding HorsePower
Within the framework of the WholeHealth Alphabet, Equine-Assisted Personal Development is a "double-dipping" activity: Horses provide natural opportunities for connection, mindfulness, and movement. Through their instincts as prey and herd animals, we can gain a new sense of calmness and empowerment.
Are Wellness Retreats for You?
Are you a female cancer survivor ready to unplug, gain new strength and perspectives, connect with other survivors, and leave your worries behind for a week of renewed clarity? Then you'll fit right in!

"Hello and a heartfelt welcome to Southwind Wellness Consulting and to a new understanding of integrative health for cancer survivors!
I have worked with many clients over the years and truly enjoy supporting them in gaining more health, resilience, success, and happiness. Searching for a way to help more people increase their potential for healing, I started teaching the WholeHealth Alphabet, a 4-step guide to integrative health in a unique coaching program specifically for cancer survivors.
I am so excited about this opportunity to offer you a program that will support your health journey by truly transforming your approach to physical and mental wellbeing."
- Sabrina Schell, Founder at Southwind Wellness Consulting
What is the Difference between Therapy and Coaching?
Psychotherapy is a mental health treatment with a qualified licensed professional that focuses on improving symptoms. In contrast, coaching is an interactive process between coach and client that focuses on achieving individual goals by building skills and providing guidance. As a therapist in a coaching role, Sabrina aims to give her clients the best of both worlds: The knowledge, ethics, and qualifications of a mental health professional combined with the ability to include actionable advice and a truly integrative approach.
What is the WholeHealth Alphabet based on?
The model is a synthesis of knowledge based on overall trends and findings from the fields of integrative neuroscience, evolutionary biology, functional medicine, and positive psychology. The framework is designed to focus on these fields' commonalities and simplify guidelines for healthy living, thereby making them more accessible to everyone. The WholeHealth Alphabet represents a baseline to achieve integrative health. This approach is simple enough to remember and implement in your life, while also being comprehensive and accurate to make a powerful impact on your overall health.
How does the WholeHealth Alphabet apply to Cancer Survivors?
Many health issues are interconnected and we often don't account for the role our lifestyle and mindset play in the increase and decrease of symptoms. The WholeHealth Alphabet provides a succinct guide to incorporating all areas of life into a holistic health framework, leading to a comprehensive approach to wellness. This paradigm is, therefore, a useful tool for systemic disorders such as anxiety/depression, obesity, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other chronic illnesses.
