Evolve In Love Retreat

A Therapeutic Adventure for Couples – Reconnect, reflect and reawaken your relationship—through nature, presence and transformational support.

Evolve In Love - Couples Therapeutic Adventure
Banff

Are you and your partner craving deeper connection, emotional intimacy and lasting trust?

This isn’t just a getaway—it’s a powerful, adventure-based retreat designed to help you reconnect, realign, and evolve your relationship through daily hikes and immersive experiences in one of the most awe-inspiring landscapes on earth.

Banff & Yoho National Parks | Summer 2026

Step away from the noise of everyday life and into a space where your relationship becomes the priority. Surrounded by mountains, glacial lakes, and open skies, you’ll engage in meaningful experiences designed to bring you closer together—emotionally, physically, and relationally.

During this immersive therapeutic adventure, you’ll:

  • Reignite emotional and physical intimacy in a setting that invites openness and presence
  • Practice healthy communication and emotional regulation—with real-time support and feedback
  • Gain clarity on the patterns that keep you stuck—and how to shift them with care
  • Build trust, confidence, and collaboration as you navigate new terrain—together

Led by Dr. Jessica Higgins—psychologist, relationship coach, wilderness therapist, and host of the Empowered Relationship Podcast—this exclusive experience blends private coaching, expert guidance, and therapeutic adventure to help you create lasting, transformative change.

When you feel safe and seen, love transforms—and so do you.

Why Join This Transformative Adventure?

If you and your partner are feeling stuck in painful patterns, disconnected despite your best efforts, or simply longing to reignite the spark—you’re not alone. Even high-functioning, successful couples can struggle to create the kind of relationship they truly want.

You may be:

  • Caught in reactive cycles that erode trust and intimacy
  • Struggling to communicate without feeling misunderstood or defensive
  • Carrying unresolved hurts or resentments that quietly shape your dynamic
  • Longing for more emotional and physical closeness—but not sure how to get there

This retreat is a chance to step away from the noise and realign with what matters most. You’ll reconnect through movement, reflection, and presence—supported by nature and expert guidance.

Evolve In Love - Couples Therapeutic Adventure

What to Expect:

Awe-inspiring trails, glacial lakes, and alpine scenery that mirror your journey inward

Daily therapeutic practices, coaching, and guided reflection

Intentional space for rest, intimacy, and emotional presence

High-end accommodations and nourishing, locally sourced meals

Meaningful breakthroughs and memories that ripple far beyond your time here

What You Will Experience

What You’ll Experience

  • A 7-day luxury retreat in Banff & Yoho National Parks—guided by Dr. Jessica Higgins, psychologist, relationship coach and wilderness therapist
  • Daily coaching, nature-based exercises and experiential practices to support connection, emotional safety and meaningful intimacy
  • Hiking in breathtaking settings that help you drop defenses, access deeper emotions and build trust through shared effort
  • High-end accommodations and nourishing, locally sourced meals—designed for rest, comfort and restoration
  • Private sessions before and after the retreat to clarify goals, identify patterns and integrate insights (via optional coaching package)
  • Real growth in a refined, comfortable setting—no camping, no roughing it, just intentional space to deepen, heal and expand together

Imagine soaking in alpine hot springs after a day of hiking, sharing meaningful reflections by the fire, or reconnecting through a gentle partner practice beneath expansive mountain skies.

These aren’t just luxuries—they’re invitations into presence, play, and profound connection.

This isn’t about just learning tools. It’s about living into a new way of relating—where you feel grounded, safe, emotionally attuned, and fully alive with each other. You’ll walk away with renewed closeness, clear communication, and confidence in how to meet life’s challenges as a united team.

What Makes This Retreat Special

This isn’t just time away—it’s a carefully curated, therapeutic experience designed to create lasting change in how you and your partner connect, communicate, and grow.

Here’s what sets this journey apart:

  • Private, Personalized Support: Begin and end the retreat with one-on-one sessions tailored to your goals, challenges, and desired outcomes.
  • Transformational Environment: Surrounded by awe-inspiring mountains, lakes, and sky, nature becomes a co-facilitator—softening defenses, expanding perspective, and inviting deeper presence.
  • Authentic Connection: Step away from everyday stress and rediscover what’s real and meaningful—through guided practices, shared adventure, and intimate reflection.
  • Emotional Clarity & Growth: Compassionately explore your relational habits and learn how to shift toward secure, supportive patterns.
  • Trust & Teamwork: Move through thoughtfully designed challenges that foster collaboration, confidence, and relational resilience.
  • Long-Term Integration: Carry the work forward with tools, new understandings and experiences and (optional) post-retreat coaching support—so the growth you experience here continues to unfold long after you return home.

 

Is This For You?

This retreat is designed for high-functioning, growth-oriented couples who:

  • Want to reconnect emotionally and physically in a way that feels natural, meaningful, and expansive
  • Have done personal development or relationship work—and are now ready to deepen the transformation
  • Are committed to growing together with intention, care, and courage
  • Thrive with immersive, experiential learning that integrates mind, body, heart, and nature
  • Crave more intimacy, joy, and relational aliveness
  • Value personalized support and expert guidance in a safe, private, nature-immersive setting
  • Feel excited by the idea of stepping away from the day-to-day and into a guided adventure designed to nourish your relationship

"I began sessions with Dr Jessica Higgins shortly after a fairly traumatic and unexpected breakup of a 38 year marriage. She was wonderfully compassionate, assisting me as I unraveled what had happened, and worked out how to move forward in a positive and practical way. She was instrumental in my healing process. She has a lot of relationship knowledge and brought this expertise to my sessions. I would highly recommend her as not only an insightful therapist, but also as a truly genuine person."

“Quite simply, Jessica saved our marriage. My wife and I had gone from being a couple that had a seemingly rock solid and enviable relationship to the brink of divorce. My wife stumbled upon Jessica’s podcast and we decided to start working with her as a last-ditch attempt to save our relationship after failing with a previous attempt at couples therapy. Jessica was able to build trust with both of us and to uncover the underlying causes of our relationship issues within a few sessions. Over the next few months, she was able to work with us to expose our recurring patterns and coach us on modifying our behaviors to allow us to reclaim our marriage. Much of the work was painful but Jessica helped us to uncover deep wounds and deal with them openly and honestly. She taught us new ways of communicating and helped us remember why we love each other. Our relationship now feels strong and authentic. Even months after ending our sessions with Jessica, the stress that once permeated our household has disappeared and we both feel secure and comfortable with our bond. We cannot recommend Jessica more highly. She is extremely empathetic, caring, and has a way of understanding each person’s point of view without taking sides. We once thought our relationship was doomed. Thanks to Jessica’s help and guidance, we feel like we have resurrected our marriage and saved our family.”

“The Dalai Lama said, “Just as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped into water, the actions of individuals can have far-reaching effects.” Dr. Jessica Higgins has been that proverbial pebble for my husband and me in our relationship. She enabled a healing process where not only were tools given to reopen lines of communication but inroads were made towards understanding one another. Once the huge obstacles were hurdled relationally, she gave us a framework for first, taking personal responsibility by recognizing triggers within ourselves then, triggers between one another. This has helped us handle conflicts and moved us towards encouraging/nurturing our love for one another. We are grateful to Dr. Jessica’s work with us and happily still living within these ripple effects as our marriage continues to grow and deepen.”

"I couldn't speak more highly of Jessica. It seems a main factor in the healthy development of our emotional being is the availability of a safe space through which we can be open and vulnerable to actually do the necessary work to effect positive change in our lives. It is difficult enough to offer this space to ourselves, let alone share it with another person. Jessica manages to assist in the development of both. Through her warm, confident and compassionate presence Jessica creates this ideal space while her wisdom and skill assists in the development of a personal internal space of openness and non judgment where it is okay to be vulnerable, to be oneself. Simply, Jessica has helped me to honor my highest self in all that I do. And most importantly, in all that I create in this life."

We have recommended her to dozens of friends and colleagues—any couple would be sure to benefit greatly from time spent with Dr. Jessica!"

"I came to Dr. Higgins roughly 6 months before my wedding as I needed support on familial circumstances and my relationship with my fiancé. I signed up for a 1-1 coaching sessions package after finding her podcast, Empowered Relationships. I’m across the country, so our sessions were virtual. My favorite part about working with Dr. Higgins was her empathetic nature, she listens carefully, non-judgmentally, and can truly relate and understand my circumstances to the point where I felt fully safe and comfortable in conversation. This led to more vulnerability which I believe led to more healing for me personally throughout our sessions. She has an incredible perspective and can completely change the way you look at something by posing insightful questions and scenarios that I’d never before considered. It helped me to understand the patterns in my own behavior and the “why” behind them. This helped me to let go of some burdens I was carrying and learn to explain myself more effectively to my fiancé when conflict arises. Dr. Higgins also added value beyond sessions by recommending research-based reading materials, videos, and other resources from her website and podcast, all of which I devoured and helped me between coaching sessions to continue on my healing path. I appreciate the opportunity to look at things differently, understand myself better, and the ways she showed me how to relate and converse better with my family and fiancé even months after therapy as I’m writing this. I’ve gained more confidence in myself through working with Dr. Higgins. She truly has a great heart and extends that openly to others through her work.”

I love working with Dr. Jessica Higgins. I feel that she truly cares about her work and helping her clients. I have experience with other therapists and psychologists, but have not had the same supportive and life-changing experience as with Dr. Higgins. I do feel that she understands and is able to guide her clients well.

In a world of social media and so many opinions, I found it difficult to find clarity. Dr. Higgins is very knowledgeable and knows how to tailor the coaching to fit the client; therefore, with her guidance, I was able to connect with myself and find clarity from a place that felt right for me.

I now feel more connected to myself and in my relationship. Through coaching, I was also able to identify tools that could help mitigate and navigate challenges in my relationship. I implemented these, and they have changed my relationship. I am very grateful for her guidance and knowledge. I would definitely recommend Dr. Higgins to anyone seeking a deeper connection with themselves and in their relationship.

“Jessica and her work with us has been instrumental in creating a powerful connection in our marriage. We have been working with her for nearly five years, and she continues to partner with us to create an even stronger bond. For me, her caring and compassionate heart mixed with gentle nudging has prompted me to open myself to my husband in a very emotionally safe manner. Her work has helped my husband find his way toward compassion and away from defensiveness. I would highly recommend her for any coaching needs, individual or as a couple. She will understand you, validate you, and challenge you in the most caring way. ”

"Working with Dr Jessica Higgins was such a valuable experience for my partner and I. We were at a crossroads in our relationship and had difficulty "seeing" each other's pain when having conflict. Dr Jesscia was able to help soften both of us quite quickly so we could turn toward each other with compassion and new insights about how the other's defenses were just a reaction from learned behaviors to protect from further hurt. We both learned that we wanted the same thing... heartfelt connection and more ease with each other. Although we needed to create more space between us due to certain life circumstances, we still are in relationship with each other and now have much more peace between us by actively using helpful tools we learned from Dr Jessica in our communication. I have learned so much about myself and feel confident that I can face hard conversations without wanting to just give up by regulating my own emotions and staying present and calmly stating my needs and wants. Truly life changing!"

She has an incredible perspective and can completely change the way you look at something by posing insightful questions and scenarios that I’d never before considered. It helped me to understand the patterns in my own behavior and the “why” behind them. This helped me to let go of some burdens I was carrying and learn to explain myself more effectively to my fiancé when conflict arises. Dr. Higgins also added value beyond sessions by recommending research-based reading materials, videos, and other resources from her website and podcast, all of which I devoured and helped me between coaching sessions to continue on my healing path. I appreciate the opportunity to look at things differently, understand myself better, and the ways she showed me how to relate and converse better with my family and fiancé even months after therapy as I’m writing this. I’ve gained more confidence in myself through working with Dr. Higgins. She truly has a great heart and extends that openly to others through her work.”

"I'm so grateful to have met and worked with Jessica. She is an excellent coach. I found her to be one of the most warm, empathetic, and knowledgeable people of all the coaches and psychotherapists I've worked with over the years. Jessica holds space, listens deeply, and is extremely compassionate. Simultaneously, she provided me with the tools and encouragement I needed to stretch and grow in ways that had a very positive impact on my life. Anyone would be fortunate to work with Jessica!"

I love working with Dr. Jessica Higgins. I feel that she truly cares about her work and helping her clients. I have experience with other therapists and psychologists, but have not had the same supportive and life-changing experience as with Dr. Higgins. I do feel that she understands and is able to guide her clients well.

In a world of social media and so many opinions, I found it difficult to find clarity. Dr. Higgins is very knowledgeable and knows how to tailor the coaching to fit the client; therefore, with her guidance, I was able to connect with myself and find clarity from a place that felt right for me.

I now feel more connected to myself and in my relationship. Through coaching, I was also able to identify tools that could help mitigate and navigate challenges in my relationship. I implemented these, and they have changed my relationship. I am very grateful for her guidance and knowledge. I would definitely recommend Dr. Higgins to anyone seeking a deeper connection with themselves and in their relationship.

“We have been working with Dr. Jessica Higgins for nearly six years, and cannot recommend her more highly. Jessica has helped us to gain a new “language” for our marriage, and has helped us to see ourselves more clearly, along with how our individual patterns and upbringing inform our relationship with one another. Jessica has served as a guide in navigating a new frontier for our relationship. The first five years of our marriage have brought with them a tremendous amount of change in our respective lives, and Jessica has helped us to navigate these seasons of change with a solid foundation, clarity, and love.”

“Jessica and her work with us has been instrumental in creating a powerful connection in our marriage. We have been working with her for nearly five years, and she continues to partner with us to create an even stronger bond. For me, her caring and compassionate heart mixed with gentle nudging has prompted me to open myself to my husband in a very emotionally safe manner. Her work has helped my husband find his way toward compassion and away from defensiveness. I would highly recommend her for any coaching needs, individual or as a couple. She will understand you, validate you, and challenge you in the most caring way. ”

“The Dalai Lama said, “Just as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped into water, the actions of individuals can have far-reaching effects.” Dr. Jessica Higgins has been that proverbial pebble for my husband and me in our relationship. She enabled a healing process where not only were tools given to reopen lines of communication but inroads were made towards understanding one another. Once the huge obstacles were hurdled relationally, she gave us a framework for first, taking personal responsibility by recognizing triggers within ourselves then, triggers between one another. This has helped us handle conflicts and moved us towards encouraging/nurturing our love for one another. We are grateful to Dr. Jessica’s work with us and happily still living within these ripple effects as our marriage continues to grow and deepen.”
