Placencia, Belize | February 21st - 26th, 2027 ❋
The Money Shift Therapist CE Retreat
A CE Retreat for Licensed Clinicians in Placencia, Belize
Your money story has run in the background long enough.
You hold clinical space around money.
The workaholic who is about to drop. The one who learned that a gift is what love looks like when nobody comes home, and who still buys something every time the house gets too quiet. The eldest daughter who became the family bank at nineteen and never got to resign.
And sometimes it does not look like money at all. A client's heat goes out, and what surfaces is not inconvenience. It is the winter their family could not pay the bill. Or they buy a house they can comfortably afford and spend the first month waiting for someone to take it away.
That layer sits underneath more of your caseload than you have been able to see, and nobody trained you to look for it. There was never a class for this.
You cannot take a client somewhere you have not been. This retreat is built to take you there.
CE training on financial therapy exists, online and in conference rooms. An immersive retreat where you earn those hours and do your own experiential money work, in a setting like this, does not. Until now.
Hold your roomWhat if money is not your sore spot?
Then good. Some of the best people in this room will be clinicians who charge well, talk about money easily, and have never lost a night of sleep over it.
That comes with its own gap. When a client says "I can't afford you" and means it, or when someone's entire financial life is organized around a fear you have genuinely never felt, being comfortable is not the same as understanding. You can be completely at peace with your own money and still have no map for theirs.
This week builds the map.
Come to sort out your own material, come to add financial therapy to what you offer, or come for both. All three are the right reason to be here.
Everything taken care of, so you only have to show up.
Five nights, every meal, the whole itinerary — arranged. You just arrive.
Where you'll spend the week.
A luxury beachfront resort, not a buffet line.
A luxury beachfront resort on the Belizean Caribbean coast, in the Placencia region. Private plunge-pool villas, beachfront suites, and the kind of ocean view that loosens your shoulders before you've finished unpacking.
I worked with the resort to fold everything into your stay, along with a few signature experiences — so from the moment you land, you're welcomed, settled, and free to simply be here.
You'll eat well. Really well.
Dining here is normally à la carte, chef-made, fresh meal by meal — and I folded every one of them into your stay. I'm a foodie, so this part I did not leave to chance. Come hungry.
- Full hot breakfast, every morning
- A two-course lunch
- A three-course dinner
- A welcome cocktail/mocktail reception
- A farewell dinner on the beach
A hands-on Garifuna cooking class.
The Garifuna are the Afro-Indigenous people of Belize's Caribbean coast, and their cooking — smoky, coconut-rich, made from scratch — is one of the country's most distinctive food traditions. You'll learn to make it with your hands, then sit down and eat what you made.
The days are yours.
The pool, the beach, paddleboards and kayaks, yoga on the sand some mornings — and 10% off the spa. You don't have to go anywhere to feel far away.
A little about Belize.
In case it's not on your radar yet — this is not a hard place to fall in love with.
Make an adventure of it.
The resort is holding group-rate pricing for three days before and three days after the retreat — so you can add the reef, the ruins, and the jungle to your trip, and keep the rate the whole time.
Things worth staying for.
Add a few days on either side, and the rest of Belize opens up.
Mornings are for teaching. The afternoons are yours.
Four teaching mornings. You do not just receive the content, you work through it on yourself as you learn it. Then the afternoon asks nothing of you at all.
Where your money beliefs come from
Money scripts, their origins, and the ones you inherited without ever agreeing to them.
How belief becomes behavior
The way your financial beliefs drive your decisions, your fees, and your relationship with money.
The patterns money creates
What shows up in your life and your practice, and why awareness alone never changed it.
Bringing it into the room
How all of it lives inside your clinical work, so you can hold money for clients the way you now hold it for yourself.
Up to 9 CE hours for licensed clinicians, pending approval. Non-licensed practitioners are warmly welcome and will not receive CE credit.
Pick your room. Lock the early bird price.
Every price covers the whole retreat: five nights on the Placencia coast, every meal, the full curriculum, and your CE hours. A few things like flights, drinks at the bar, and the spa sit outside it; the full list is in "What's in your price" below.
Deluxe Room
A quiet refuge in the heart of the small, boutique resort, with a private terrace and daybed of your own. Beautiful in its simplicity and steps away from the pool, beach, restaurants, and meeting space.
Choose this if you plan to be out in it. Long mornings on the beach, afternoons at the pool with whoever else wandered down, and a short walk back to everything when you want it.
Beachfront Suite
A dreamy suite on the sand with a king bed, a separate living area, and a private wrap-around terrace looking out over one of the most beautiful beaches in Belize.
Choose this if you want to spread out, with that beach right outside your door. Light fills the suite all morning, the living area is a whole room to sink into, and the terrace wraps around so the view follows you.
One Bedroom Beachfront Villa
A secluded villa with gorgeous Caribbean Sea views, your own private deck and plunge pool, and a full kitchen. A true home just steps from the azure water.
Choose this if you already know you work too hard for a standard room. Your own plunge pool, your own deck, a full kitchen, and complete privacy. And if booking it makes you flinch, bring the flinch, because that is exactly the work.
Rooms are held in the order deposits come in, and the block is small.
Who's coming with you?
Most people come on their own, and the group is small enough that it stops feeling that way somewhere around the first dinner. So coming solo is the normal way to do this. But if there is someone you would rather not leave at home, there is room for them.
Your partner, your sister, your best friend.
They share your room and join every meal, the welcome reception, the Garifuna cooking class, and every open afternoon. The mornings are yours while they take the beach.
No CE credit, no separate room to book, and nothing extra to coordinate. Add them any time up to thirty days before we go.
Two bedrooms, one villa, both of you earning CE.
The two bedroom beachfront villa gives you each a private bedroom and bath, with a shared deck and plunge pool in the middle. Close enough to talk it through at the end of the day, separate enough to actually sleep.
Both of you attend the full program. Ask about availability before you book, since there is one.
Bringing someone? Reply to any email or reach out and we'll set it up. Guests are added separately from your own registration.
One $600 $300 deposit holds your room.
Early bird pricing takes $300 off your retreat, and that $300 comes off at deposit rather than at the end. So a single $300 deposit reserves your specific room in a limited block, and from there you choose the payment plan that actually works for you: weekly, monthly, or on the dates you name, with everything paid in full by December 15th.
Place your $600 $300 deposit
Non-refundable, and it holds the exact room you picked.
Pick your payment plan
Weekly, monthly, or the dates that suit you, sent by email right after.
Paid in full by Dec 15
However you split it, the balance is due December 15th.
Early bird pricing is live.
Every room is $300 off, and the discount lands at deposit, so $300 holds your room today instead of $600. On August 31 rooms return to standard pricing and the deposit goes back up. The rate you lock now is the rate you keep.

Jessica Good
Jessica Good watched her parents build a fortune and then lose all of it to money scripts that never changed. That loss taught her what no graduate program did: your relationship with money runs underneath every decision you make, whether you have looked at it or not. And, just because you make more money, it doesn't mean those scripts go away. As a licensed therapist, a financial therapist that's Trauma of Money Certified, a member of the Financial Therapy Association, and an EMDRIA Approved Consultant, she teaches this work from the inside, because she has lived it herself.
Through Therapy Is A Business, Jessica helps clinicians sort out the money part no one taught them. The Money Shift Therapist CE Retreat is where it all comes together: five days to sit with your own money story, earn your CE hours, and come home holding money for your clients the way you have finally learned to hold it for yourself.
From clinicians who have already done this work with me.
The retreat runs for the first time in February. The work inside it is not new, and neither is what tends to happen to people's fees, their models, and what they believe they are allowed to charge.
Jessica helped me confront and challenge the negative beliefs that many therapists hold about running a business... I now feel more empowered to own my role as a therapist and a confident business owner.
Jessica helped me to organize my thoughts and, importantly, stop underselling myself... The process felt forward-moving, clarifying, and absolutely worth my time. Jessica has a gift for helping ideas feel possible.
Prior to meeting, I was juggling 23 weekly clients and offering EMDR intensives on the weekends... These changes ultimately led to me offering only EMDR extended sessions and intensives. I found the investment in her services invaluable.
Your Questions, Answered
-
Licensed clinicians in any stage of practice who are ready to sit with their own relationship to money, and want CE hours while they do it. Non-licensed wellness practitioners are welcome to the experience, though they will not receive CE credit.
-
No. Depth is invited and never required.
The experiential work happens on paper, in your own head, and in pairs if you want it. Nobody gets put on the spot or asked to perform vulnerability for the room. You only share what you wish to share.
Most of what shifts here shifts internally. What you say out loud is entirely your call, and plenty of people will say very little and still leave with the thing they came for.
-
Up to 9 CE hours are earned across four teaching mornings. Approval is in progress, and this page will name the approvals the moment they are confirmed in writing. CE documentation is sent to you after the retreat.
-
Mornings are teaching and experiential work together. Afternoons are entirely open, for the reef, the jungle, the spa, or doing nothing at all. Evenings are shared meals and quiet.
-
Many clinicians can deduct a CE retreat as a professional development expense. Full receipts and CE documentation are provided. Check with your own tax advisor for your situation.
-
Most people do, and the group is small enough that it stops feeling that way somewhere around the first dinner. Shared meals, shared workshop mornings, and five days is long enough that you will know these people by the end of it. Coming solo is the normal way to do this.
-
Yes. They share your room and join every meal, the welcome reception, the cooking class, and every open afternoon, for $2,500. No CE credit, and no discount codes apply to guests.
You do not have to decide now. Guests can be added any time up to 30 days before the retreat, and they are paid separately from your own registration.
-
Yes, the resort can accommodate vegan, gluten-free, vegetarian, and other dietary restrictions or allergies. Make sure to let us know in your registration form so that we can coordinate with the resort’s culinary team.
-
The property has stairs and uneven, sandy terrain throughout, and it is not wheelchair accessible. If mobility is a concern for you, reach out before you register and we'll talk through whether it will work for you.
-
Yes. Travel insurance is required for every attendee. It protects your trip cost in the rare event that something outside anyone's control disrupts the retreat, which is why it is a condition of registration rather than a suggestion.
-
