About Villa Kali Ma - The Retreat
Villa Kali Ma - The Retreat offers an immersive 30-90 day retreat exclusively for women to receive deep and lasting mental health and trauma treatment. The team at Villa Kali Ma is trained in the most up-to-date trauma treatment approaches in the field. They specialize in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex trauma, and many other mental health conditions by using cutting-edge therapies like ketamine-assisted therapy, brainspotting, yoga, and acupuncture to address the healing of mind, body, and spirit. Up to 45 weekly hours are spent engaging in clinical and holistic therapies both on-site and off-site.
Villa Kali Ma is a sanctuary for women seeking trauma care. Surrounded by gardens and calming outdoor spaces, the retreat features luxurious amenities, including a sparkling pool, spacious and comfortable bedrooms, and thoughtfully designed treatment areas that promote peace and reflection. With residential programs ranging from 30 to 90 days, along with options for extended stays, women have the time and support they need to fully engage in the hard work of healing.
Villa Kali Ma believes that underlying all diagnosed disorders—such as addiction, depression, anxiety, and attachment issues—is profound emotional, mental, and spiritual pain caused by traumatic memories or suppressed trauma in the subconscious. Their treatment model guides women through a transformative journey of acknowledging, understanding, and releasing this trauma. By introducing practices that reduce fear and negative self-talk, the program fosters self-compassion, forgiveness, and the discovery of one's higher Self. Designed as a “How to Live” program, Villa Kali Ma promotes sustainable recovery and wholeness across biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions, empowering women to heal and thrive in all aspects of life.
Women at Villa Kali Ma discover a transformative healing experience in a supportive, residential treatment program. Their unique approach combines cutting-edge therapies like brainspotting and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy with therapeutic modalities like yoga, Ayurvedic medicine, and shamanic journeying. Tailored specifically for women, the program addresses trauma and mental health disorders through a blend of individual and group therapies that build connective sisterhood. Participants can look forward to a heartfelt recovery journey that empowers them to overcome destructive behaviors and achieve sustainable wellness.

Luxury rehab centers offer a unique blend of luxurious amenities and high-quality treatment. From private suites to gourmet dining, personal trainers to spa treatments, these facilities provide a high level of comfort and discretion.
By participating in trauma-focused therapy, clients can break free from self-destructive behaviors and negative thought patterns, reclaiming their sense of agency and empowerment. Clients often experience relief from the relentless cycle of reliving traumatic events, allowing them to move forward without the weight of fear and helplessness. Additional benefits include the restoration of joy, meaning, and connection in life, alongside a deep sense of peace and safety.
Trauma robs individuals of their inherent sense of goodness and lovability, replacing peace of mind with intense negative emotions. Trauma-centered care prioritizes restoring safety, recognizing that symptoms like mental health conditions often arise from a disrupted nervous system seeking coping mechanisms for “basic OK-ness.” This sense of safety includes not just physical well-being but also relational safety—feeling loved and secure in connections.
Here, women embark on a holistic healing journey filled with a variety of therapies that nurture their mind, body, and spirit. They can dive into individual and family therapy, explore the transformative power of trauma therapy, and benefit from evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and EMDR. The healing experience is further enriched through yoga therapy, acupuncture, and breathwork. Unique offerings like shamanic healing and mindfulness meditation create the perfect environment for self-discovery and connection.
At Villa Kali Ma, mindfulness practices are essential for cultivating a peaceful mind and enhancing overall well-being. By engaging in techniques like deep breathing, grounding exercises, and mindful movement, clients learn to stay present and centered amidst life's challenges. The five senses exercise helps individuals reconnect with their surroundings, bringing a sense of calm and clarity. Additionally, practices like yoga and meditation promote relaxation and self-discovery, allowing women to release tension and embrace their inner peace.
