St. Dennis Church
Lockport, Illinois
$25 for a mom and all her daughters (ages 10-18)
Our daughters are bombarded daily by messages that distort their worth, pressure them to perform, and pull them away from faith. Many moms want to help… but don’t always know how. This retreat is a beautiful reset: a chance to pause the noise, reconnect, and rediscover how loved and valuable you both are.





This is a perfect event to attend with your daughter and your sister, niece, best friend, or mom friends and their girls.
You’ll grow stronger together and create memories that ripple through your community.
Let’s fill the room with joy, faith, and connection!

I was a mom before I became a life coach.
I know what it’s like to watch your child struggle and feel powerless to fix it. One of my daughters has struggled with body image issues and the other has struggled with friendships. Even girls with loving, present parents need a boost.
Our girls need to hear positive role models (other than their parents) to help them recognize their beauty and value.
It's my joy and mission to help students know their worth and think positively about themselves so they can pursue their dreams and goals with confidence, resilience and success!
Helping parents and students connect and grow together is my specialty. I've been leading retreats for over 20 years and it's one of my favorite things to do. I've seen how the right setting can spark healing, openness and trust between moms and their girls.
💝 I look forward to sharing this beautiful evening with you and your daughter. Please help spread the word so many families can experience the joy of this special night! 💝
This event is designed for moms and daughters in grades 5–12 who want to grow closer, communicate better, and build confidence and faith in a fun, welcoming environment.
That’s totally normal! Many girls feel unsure at first — but they end up having so much fun and often say they’re glad they came. We keep things relaxed, positive, and teen-friendly (no forced sharing or awkward icebreakers).
Yes! We welcome any female caregiver who is nurturing a girl’s growth and faith. You belong here.
Yes! We’ll have delicious snacks and beverages available. We do recommend eating dinner before you arrive, as a full meal will not be served.
We recommend you attend the entire event for the best experience, but if you need to come late or leave early, just let us know. You’ll still get a lot out of it!
Wonderful! You’re welcome to bring all your daughters. If they’re within the age range, you can all participate as a family. Just purchase one family ticket.
Not at all. While this retreat is rooted in Christian values and hosted by a Catholic church, it’s open to all women and girls who desire stronger relationships, deeper confidence, and a sense of purpose. You’ll find a welcoming, respectful environment where faith is encouraged but never pressured. Come as you are — you belong here.
Absolutely! This is a wonderful event to attend with friends — and makes the experience even more fun. Feel free to forward the link!
