Honeycomb Retreat
Accessible Luxury Self-Care
As a momma, you've been through enough to know that self-care and rest aren't a luxury; they are essential to being a good mother.
We created the Honeycomb Retreat to remove the barriers: cost, time, and childcare.
What remains are five hours of intentional, immersive healing for the body, mind spirit
and the deeper emotional and energetic layers that most wellness experiences never reach.
How does self-healing unlock your world as a woman?
Five Healing Modalities to Choose from
Swedish and Trigger Point Massage
Swedish massage uses gentle, flowing strokes for general relaxation, while trigger point massage applies concentrated, direct pressure to specific muscle knots to relieve localized pain.
Ionic Foot Detox "Pedi's"
Ionic foot spas use a low-voltage electrical current to draw out toxins through the feet while you soak them in a warm water basin.
Bentonite Facials and "Pitties"
Bentonite facials and "pitties" refer to the practice of using detoxifying bentonite clay masks to draw out impurities, odors, and oil from your face and armpits.
Sound Bath
A sound bath is a meditative experience where you lie down and allow yourself to be immersed in the soothing tones of instruments like singing bowls, gongs, and chimes.
Zytoscan and Bioresonance Devices
Zytoscan and bioresonance devices are alternative medicine tools that can measure the body's electromagnetic frequencies or skin responses to detect imbalances and recommend customized wellness treatments.
Polar "Princess Plunge" and Steam Sauna
Combining cold plunges and steam saunas creates a thermal contrast that acts as a vascular pump—dilating blood vessels with heat and constricting them with cold—to supercharge circulation, accelerate muscle recovery, and build profound stress resilience.
Workshop: Sacred Anger, Mothering, & Forgiveness
This transformative workshop invites mothers to safely channel their sacred anger and embrace forgiveness as powerful tools to reclaim their personal sovereignty and emotional freedom.
These healing methods address every dimension of your being: your body, energetic field, emotional state, psyche, and most of all, spirit.
Your children are depending on your health and wellbeing... for theirs.
You don't have to choose between caring for yourself or your children... anymore.
The Honeycomb Retreat is five hours of intentional healing designed specifically for mothers; built to remove every excuse that usually gets in our way.
Most wellness experiences weren't made with mothers in mind. They assume you have disposable income, a free weekend, and someone to watch your kids. They ask you to step away from your life entirely, during the most demanding season of your existence.
We built this differently.
The Honeycomb Retreat exists because mothers are carrying more than anyone fully sees, and because the women doing the most important work in a community are often the ones least likely to receive care.
Five hours where someone else holds the space, watches the children, and asks nothing of you except that you show up and receive.
Here's what we made possible and how:
We kept the cost low on purpose.
Tickets start at $75. That's the price, because we believe the barrier to healing shouldn't be your bank account. Our practitioners are offering their healing modalities at a tremendous discount for our mothers because they see you as a mission field and worthy cause.
We brought the healers to you.
Rather than sending you to five different practitioners across multiple days, we assembled them in one place, on one afternoon. Massage. Bioscan and bioresonance. Polar plunge and sauna. Ionic and herbal foot detox. A workshop on sacred anger, motherhood, and forgiveness. Multiple modalities. You choose. You walk in once and walk out having received more than most women get in a year.
We solved the childcare problem.
Your children are welcome. Not just tolerated; cherished. Our Shepherds team is on-site to care for, play with, and watch over your little ones while you receive care. They stay nearby. You don't have to arrange a babysitter, guilt-trip your mother-in-law, or show up already stressed from drop-off logistics. Bring them with you, and exhale. Activities were donated by Holistic Pathways.
We chose a venue that holds all of it.
The Ark of Wellness in Springfield is our home for this retreat; a rustic space designed for exactly this kind of gathering. Accessible, warm, and built to hold both the stillness of a sound bath and the laughter of children.
We built it around real community, not consumption.
This isn't a spa day you walk away from and forget. We have designed this first retreat to rekindle the ember inside of you, and we plan to fan the flame by making it easy for you to integrate more self-care into your life. After November 14th, we will continue to host monthly Honeycomb Gatherings with an emphasis on self-care for mommas.

Professional Photography
For only $25 more!
Meet Rayna Goff, a photographer with nearly a decade of experience capturing the beauty and essence of the people in front of her lens.
"My heart behind photography goes beyond creating beautiful images—I believe there is something deeply healing about seeing ourselves as we truly are. Through my work, I hope to reflect back the beauty that already exists within each person and remind them that they are beautifully and intentionally made in the image of God."
As women, we spend so much of our lives seeing, loving, nurturing, and capturing everyone around us, while rarely getting the opportunity to turn that same loving gaze toward ourselves. During this experience, Rayna will invite you into a beautiful place in nature where you can simply allow yourself to be seen.
"I’ll gently guide you through a relaxed portrait session designed to capture your natural beauty and essence, exactly as you are. You’ll receive four professionally edited images as a tangible reminder of the woman who exists beyond all the roles you carry. My hope is that this experience allows you to reconnect with yourself, honor the body and life you’ve been given, and see a glimpse of what those who love you—and the Creator—already see."
This experience includes a private mini portrait session in nature at the Ark of Wellness and four professionally edited digital images. The normal value of this photography experience is $185.

MEET THE FOUNDress & CEO
Sierra Emrich Hamm
I started Honeycomb Maternity Care, because birth belongs to women and families. There is a war going on in the health care system, and I help families start on their own terms, in alignment with their faith, beliefs, and convictions.
But there is a war on the inside of women in America, too. A soft war within ourselves, against ourselves, fueled by misguided self-sacrifice for the ones we love the most.
My name is Sierra, and I'm a registered nurse, a mother, and the Foundress of Honeycomb Maternity Care.
I created the Honeycomb Retreat, because I kept watching the same thing happen to women around me: mothers, capable, loving, deeply good women, raising children without the close-knit community of women that previous generations relied upon.
I realized it was a mirror of myself.
The retreat you're looking at exists because I believe mothers deserve a village, not a hashtag, not a Facebook group, not another wellness product. Real women, in real rooms, caring for each other the way women have always cared for each other. But now, it's even more powerful, because we have cutting-edge technology and the ancient enduring wisdom to guide us.
Society changes, but the call for women to work together remains the same.
What I want for you on November 14th is simple: five hours where you take care of you. Where your children are loved and watched over, and not a source of stress. They aren't separated from having access to you, but they have their own work (play) to do. Where you walk back out into your life with a little more in the tank, and maybe a few women in your phone who get it.
Honeycomb is building something ongoing: regular Honeycomb Gatherings, a place where a mother can say, "I need help with this. Who can I trust?" and have an actual answer.
This retreat is how it begins.
Come as you are, just don't stay that way.
Bring who you love. We'll take it from there.
Sweet to the soul, good for the bones.

Who This Offer Is For
You've been running on empty so long that "taking care of yourself" sounds like something that happens to other people. You know you need more than a bubble bath. You want real healing; the kind that actually reaches the places that hurt and are beyond exhausted, but you can't find the time, the money, and someone to watch the kids all at once.
This retreat was built for you specifically.
You're a mother: biological, adoptive, foster, grandmother, auntie, or any woman who is mothering or giving care to someone.
You're tired of wellness spaces where children are quietly unwelcome.
You've said "I'll do something for myself later" more times than you can count.
You put your health at the bottom of the to do list, and the budget.
You want to be in a room with other women who actually get it.
You're ready to receive, not just give until you can't any more.
Bring Grandma. Bring Auntie. Bring your best friend who has been holding you up this year. This is an intergenerational gathering, and every woman in your circle is welcome.
What five hours of
being cared for actually does...
A flame untended cannot warm the ones it loves. This isn't a reward you have to earn or a luxury you have to justify. The Honeycomb Retreat exists because mothers need a village, and because our community is ready to be part of yours. Five hours won't solve everything. But it will remind you of something important: we are called to love our neighbors as ourselves.
It reminds your nervous system what rest feels like, and that you're allowed to have it.
It puts you in a rustic environment with healers, educators and women whose life work, calling, and ministry, is to restore what modern life takes out of you.
It gives your children a memory of what it looks like when their mother chooses herself, and will show them how to make healthy choices for their lives.
✶ Our world is waiting for you to come back home, to yourself. ✶
If you've been waiting for permission...
This is it.
There is a specific kind of mother this retreat was made for. She's not someone who has it all together, but most people don't know by looking at her, or her socials. She's someone who is quietly holding more than anyone could ever imagine. She's been the strong one, the steady one, the one who figures it out. And she is running out of fuel...
She wants community, but everything she finds feels surface-level or too busy to be real.
She's spiritually awake and tired of wellness spaces that don't know what to do with that.
She loves her children fiercely and still needs space to exist as a person outside of them.
She knows something needs to change, and she keeps waiting for the right moment which never seems to come.
The right moment is November 14th.
You have worked too hard, loved too much, and given too freely to keep skipping yourself. Come receive something.
Self-Care is not a Luxury; it is an essential part of being a good Mother

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my kids be separated from me?
No — children are genuinely, not just tolerantly, welcome here. We have Shepherds on-site whose entire job is to love on your children while you receive care. Your kids are nearby, supervised, and active. If they need you, they can come to you. You don't have to leave them to be here, and you don't have to feel guilty for being here.
Energetic, wait, isn't that code for "woo woo"?
E=MC2
This theory helps us understand that everything is energy. The nature of matter is not actually solid, rather structured energy in varying fields. Zooming in on the human body, each cell's mitochondria produces electricity using ion gradients. The electrolytes in your body carry electrical charge in body fluids. Think about having an EEG to study the electrical flow through the brain, or an EKG to view the electrical currents of the heart. Every nerve in your body sends electrical impulses, and you are an electrical being as much as you are a physical entity.
Do I have to be a Christian to attend this event?
Absolutely not. Our practitioners are women of faith. But this is to nurture, not to proselytize you. Our workshops are faith informed, and weave spirituality into the teachings, in a way that is comfortable to most.
Do I need to pack a lunch?
Yes. We will have food available for purchase from local vendors, but this event is not catered in order to keep costs low.
The Ark of Wellness is an off-grid retreat center... does that mean we go potty in woods?
The Ark of Wellness has an inside composting toilet and 2 outdoor composting toilets. One of the outdoor composting toilets is designed for families with multiple pottiers. Handwashing stations are available as well.
But what should I wear?
Comfortable clothing you can move in and relax in. If you're interested in the Polar Plunge & Sauna, bring a swimsuit and a towel. For the foot detox, you'll want to be able to roll up your pants or bring shorts. Pitties are detoxification masks to the armpits. So, if you want to have a Pittie, wear a tank top or under shirt. Please also consider bringing cash for tipping our practitioners.
What do I need to bring?
Be prepared for the weather. We have indoor facilities and operate rain or shine, but you will have to walk across the property to access all the healing modalities.
Is this an all female event?
Our practitioners are all female. The co-owner of the Ark of Wellness is a male, and he is an essential part of facilitation of the event. The children at the event will be both sexes, but the Shepherds are all females as well. We do not want to create a rule that men cannot attend our retreats, because that may not be comfortable to all families. But we anticipate this event will be vastly female.
Is this a public event?
No. This is a completely private event on private land. Think of this like a family gathering at a friend's property. This is on agricultural land, and the venue is not liable for any accidents. You assume all liability for yourself and your children, just like when you go to a friend's house. We operate in the private domain, and our events are not open to the public.
What about the Shepherds helping keep an eye on the children?
Shepherds are private babysitters with clean criminal background checks, and are personally known by the Honeycomb Team. You are required to stay on site during the retreat. Each parent will pay the Shepherds $5 per child for the afternoon. Children are integrated into the event. If you choose not to utilize the Shepherds, then you will need to ensure that your children are with you at all times. If your children need you, they are free to come to you during the event. The venue is safely back from the roadway, and has an ephemeral stream.
The Ember inside your heart must be nurtured to become Aflame, & Radiate light to those you cherish.
Come and be Nurtured.
