What you’ll learn through somatic practice

• Read and map your body’s signals. Locate sensations, describe their texture and movement, and recognise your own patterns of contraction and expansion.
• Find your point of steadiness. Use breath and bodily awareness to return to yourself when your attention is pulled in different directions.
• Work with sensation and emotion. Explore breath, movement, sound and stillness, noticing how your experience shifts as you give it space.
• Consult your body about a choice. Explore your personal yes and no, and notice your physical and emotional responses to different possibilities.
• Recognise pleasure and desire. Notice what brings you a sense of aliveness and give yourself room to discover what you want.
• Free your movement and your voice. Practise moving without choreography, making sound and putting words to something you have held back.
• Express yourself while staying connected. Notice what happens in your body as you make a request, set a boundary or hear another person’s response.
• Understand your natural rhythm. Recognise your need for movement, rest or a slower pace, and explore how to reflect that in your daily life.

What you’ll learn through energetic practice

• Ground yourself in your body and your connection with the Earth. Develop an anchor you can return to as you explore subtler perceptions.
• Perceive and work with your vital energy. Explore breath, attention and the use of your hands to sense and work with the energy you experience.
• Explore chakras and energetic bodies. Learn how these maps are used in this approach, alongside practices for clearing and harmonising your energy.
• Explore energetic protection and boundaries. Notice how people and environments affect you, and practise grounding, honouring your boundaries and returning to your own centre, without depending on a fixed protection protocol.
• Develop your intuitive perception. Explore clairsentience — intuitive feeling — alongside inner knowing, imagery and inner hearing. Begin to recognise how perception arises for you.
• Understand your intuitive language. Observe the sensations, impressions and messages you experience, explore their meaning and bring discernment to your interpretation.
• Explore spiritual communication. Through guided practices, explore connection with your ancestors and the supportive energies you relate to, while remaining grounded in your body and your own discernment.
• Recognise what nourishes your energy. Observe the effects of your relationships, habits and inner dialogue, and identify what you want to continue or adjust.

The somatic and energetic practices meet in your own experience. Your body gives you a place to feel, explore and return to as you develop your perception.

In this retreat, you begin to recognise your own way of perceiving. There is space to explore what arises for you, without needing to produce a particular experience.

What to expect from the body and energy work

You do not need to have done this before.

You do not need a particular belief system. You need a body, which you have, and a bit of openness to feeling what happens inside it when you slow down.

Somatic work does not ask you to talk about what happened. It asks you to feel where it lives, now, in the breath, in the tightness in your chest, in the place that opens when you stop performing.

Energy work is not separate from the body. It is the body, at a subtler level, the current underneath the sensation. That vitality you have probably already felt, without ever having words for it.

No prior somatic or energetic experience is needed.

. . .

You experience breathwork, holosomatic bodywork and vital energy activation with guidance from the team. There is time to notice what happens, ask questions and explore the practice again. Teaching helps you make sense of your experience.

You can pause, decline a practice or ask for support. Touch requires your consent, which you can withdraw. Bodywork is clothed and non-sexual.

Guided exploration with another participant includes sensing with your hands and describing what you notice. The other person names her own experience first; her reading remains the reference. You learn to reflect what you perceive without deciding what it means for her.

If you cannot tell your intuition from your anxiety

This is the doubt most women bring into this work and almost none of them say out loud.

Here is what I have seen. It is almost never that you perceive too little. It is that you perceive an enormous amount and cannot tell what belongs to you.

You walk into a room and read it before anyone speaks. You know how someone's day went from the sound of the door. That is not nothing. It is a finely tuned instrument, turned toward other people. It has been reading everyone for so long that your own signal came last.

Doing that sorting is not mystical. It is a skill, and it is the heart of what the second passage does.

There is room to explore what you notice, without needing to produce a particular sensation or message.

If something big comes up

It can. It is not a derailment, and it is often exactly why a body waits for a safe place before it lets anything move.

If something feels overwhelming, pause and speak with the team. One of us can accompany you out of a session, and you can choose rest instead of an excursion. We agree on support during your health review; this is not a crisis-care service.

We work at a pace that respects your limits. Strong reactions can continue after a session; tell us what you notice so we can discuss appropriate support.

Do I have to speak in front of everyone

No. There is no going around the circle where everyone waits for your turn.

Most of the work happens with your eyes closed, inside your own body. There is a sharing circle on the evening of January 12, and you can pass without justifying it. Some women speak from the second day. Others never speak to the group. There is no requirement to speak to the group.

You can also come see me privately at any point in the ten days, and many women do.

The rhythm of the days

Click the schedule to enlarge it.

The days have a shape. What happens inside them is not announced.

Your mornings

You wake up on your own, with the light. Nothing is asked of you before breakfast, which is served from 9 to 10 a.m.

Some write, others walk. And some sleep until 8:45.

First session, 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Then lunch, from 1 to 2 p.m.

Your afternoons

From 2 to 4:30 p.m., the time is yours. That is two and a half hours, every day, with nothing in them.

The valley is right there. So is your cabin, and a bed, and no one who needs anything from you.

Second session, 4:30 to 6 p.m.

Dinner at 6:30 p.m. Evenings stay slow, and some of them end around the fire.

Why the sessions are not announced

You get the next day the evening before. Never further ahead. What happens in a session, you find out as you walk in.

If you like knowing what is coming, that sentence probably just tightened something. Let me explain.

Here is why it is built this way. When you know what is coming, you prepare for it. Not on purpose. You arrive already organized to do it well, with the right attitude and the right answers ready. That woman is excellent at this. She has also been running your life for years, and she is exactly the one you are here to set down.

Not knowing removes the thing to prepare. What is left is you, arriving as you actually are that morning. That is the only version the work can reach.

It is also what lets you be carried. For ten days you are not holding the plan, not anticipating the next step, not managing anyone. Someone else holds all of it. Most women tell me their body registers it before their head does, often around the third day.

To be clear. This is not secrecy and it is not a test. We ask about your needs before you come and we keep asking while you are there. If something in your body cannot do a thing, you tell me and we work around it, quietly and without a discussion in front of the group.

What stays undisclosed is the shape of the work. Never the care you are held with.

The days that break the rhythm

January 10. A walk to the village with Fernando, late morning.

January 12. Temazcal in the morning. The afternoon is free, with an optional massage. A sharing circle around the fire after dinner.

January 14. Machu Picchu. Early breakfast, 6 to 7 a.m., and a full day outside.

January 16. Maras and Moray. Same early start.

January 17. The last full day. Packing in the late afternoon, and the closing fire at 7:30 p.m.

January 18. Bags out by 8:30 a.m., breakfast, checkout at 10:30 a.m., and the transfer to Cusco.

The transformation experience in Peru

Ten days to receive the vision and the energy of the condor.

The Andean condor stands for high vision. It is one of the most powerful spiritual symbols in Peru. It flies high above the mountains and invites you to rise above the detail and look at your life from a wider place. It is the link to the upper world: the ancestors, the divine in Andean traditions, freedom, sovereignty.

It does not flap its wings

It uses the air currents to glide. That is a power that does not come from effort. The other kind you already know. The years of pushing, organizing, holding it all together, and arriving exhausted inside a life that works on paper. The condor does the opposite. It reads what is already moving, and lets itself be carried.

And as a scavenger, the condor transforms what has died and returns it to the cycle of life. It stands for the end of an identity, for transformation and rebirth.

These ten days unload what you carry. The obligations you took on thinking they would feel good, the ones that stopped feeling good years ago, the weight that tightened you and kept your wings folded.

What is left in that space is not a better version of you. It is the one who was there before all of it got loaded onto her.

After the training: living it in your real life

The hard part is not Peru. It is the Tuesday of the third week, once you are home.

The Sacred Valley makes it easy. No decisions pending, no one needing anything, a group reflecting you back all day. Then you land, and within a week your inbox, your family and your old reflexes all come back at once.

Most women do not lose what they found. They lose the conditions that made it reachable.

The four integration calls are part of the training, supporting you as you bring the practices into everyday life.

After Peru, there are seven weeks of embodiment. The first is a full week of rest, with no calls and nothing asked of you. The four integration calls are then spread across those seven weeks.

First, a week of nothing

No calls, nothing to fill in. Your body is coming back from ten days of ceremony and deep work, and it needs the pause. It is also the method: after the exhale comes the rest. Skipping that step would contradict everything the ten days taught you.

What holds at home

You bring the situations and questions you are meeting at home:

• How do I return to myself during a difficult conversation?
• What do I notice when I consult my body about a real decision?
• How do I understand an intuitive impression without rushing to interpret it?
• What happens when I express a need or change a familiar pattern?
• Which practices support me, and how do I make room for them?

How it works

Four group calls on Zoom, 90 minutes each, spread across the seven weeks. You come with what is alive that week, not with homework.

Call times are arranged once the group is formed, taking participants’ time zones into account. Replays are available if you cannot attend live.

You can send a question ahead of a call if you cannot attend, so it can be addressed with the group.

First call. Naming what moved, while it is still warm.

Second call. The moment it usually deflates. We go meet it there on purpose, because that is the week most women go quiet.

Third call. What holds in ordinary life, and what needs adjusting.

Fourth call. Far enough into the seven weeks that nothing is still running on retreat energy.

For January 2027: the training runs January 9 to 18. Then a full week of rest, and the four calls within the seven weeks of embodiment.

Why the fourth comes at the end

A territory is not closed because it feels good. It is closed when it has held week after week in your real life.

The first three keep the momentum while it is fragile and the group is still warm. Without the fourth, the work would stop just before the point where you can see it.

Your workbook

Your workbook helps you follow a situation that matters to you and notice what changes: what you feel, what you recognise, what you express and how you respond.

At the end of the seven weeks, you read it back. Not to evaluate yourself. To see what you stopped carrying without noticing you had put it down.

That is the only proof that counts here: yours, on paper, and no one else's opinion about how you are doing.

You leave with practices you can adapt, questions you know how to explore and a relationship with your own guidance that you can continue developing.

Whatever brings you here, you are not coming for all of it.
You are coming for one part of your life.
One territory, the one your body has been pointing at for a while now.

. . .

Who is actually here with you

Women mostly between 30 and 55. Some come from a job, others lead a team or run their own business. Almost all of them are the person their family turns to when things go wrong.

What they have in common is not a title or a life stage. It is that they have already done an enormous amount of work on themselves, and something still will not settle in the body.

No somatic or energetic experience is required. You already have a personal practice of caring for yourself; we build on it. Participants must be 21 or older and able to take part in English.

If women's groups have not been safe for you

This industry sells sisterhood as though putting women in a room guaranteed something. Plenty of women arrive with evidence to the contrary. A group at school. Colleagues. A circle of mothers. A friend who went quiet when things started going well for you.

If that is you, three women to a cabin for ten days is a real thing to weigh, and I am not going to tell you it will simply be fine.

What I can tell you is how this one is built. Every woman here has had a conversation with me first, and no one arrives with an ally already in place. There are no roles waiting to be filled. The schedule protects solitude on purpose. Taking time alone is normal here, and you owe no one an explanation.

You can be in this group without performing a closeness you do not feel.

This is not for you if

You are in acute crisis and you need daily, immediate support. What happens here opens things up, and in that moment you need someone who can hold you every day.

You are looking for someone to run your life from the outside. I will not do that, and that is the whole point.

Ten days away from your routine and your people is not something you can give yourself right now. That is a real answer, and it is allowed to be no.

You would rather someone else be responsible for how your life is going. That is a real position, and this is not the training for it.

The itinerary asks for a lot of walking and a lot of stairs, at altitude and on uneven ground. Some days, Machu Picchu and Moray among them, are not suited to limited mobility. Write to me before you book and we will look at what is possible together.

This is not a professional qualification. Guided practice with another participant is part of learning; it does not qualify you to practise this work on anyone else.

Experiences that belong to Peru

The Sacred Valley is not a backdrop. A large part of what happens here belongs to the land and to the people who have kept it.

The despacho, on the first day

An offering to Pachamama, the earth. Coca leaves, seeds, flowers and grains are placed one by one into a bundle, each element set down with an intention, then given to the fire.

It is led by the shaman of the family who owns the land, on their land, in their tradition. It is not a show for guests and it is not something I teach. It asks permission for what we are about to do, and it opens the ten days.

The temazcal

A dome, volcanic stones heated in a fire outside, water and herbs poured over them, and near total darkness. It happens in several doors, and the heat rises each time.

The local shaman leads it, in her tradition. My role is to prepare your body beforehand and to hold what comes after, which is usually where things move.

You are never trapped. You can step out between doors, and no one comments.

The paqarina

A water ritual at the spring. The water is cold and the ritual is short. It closes what the heat opened.

Machu Picchu

Train from Ollantaytambo, about 90 minutes along the river. Two and a half to three hours of walking at the top, with an accredited Peruvian guide and with Maurice, who owns the center and has walked this site all his life.

No trek, no four day trail. You arrive rested and you come back the same day.

Maras and Moray

Up on the plateau. Moray is a set of concentric terraces the Incas used to test crops at different temperatures, one ring at a time. Maras is thousands of salt pools, worked by the same families for centuries and still harvested by hand.

The markets

Pisac on Sunday. The weaving cooperatives in Chinchero, where the women still dye with plants and will show you how it is done. San Pedro in Cusco, where people actually do their grocery shopping.

An afternoon of painting

One afternoon. No technique, no expected result, nothing to hang afterward. Color is another way out for something that stays stuck inside.

The night sky

With almost no light pollution, you can see what the Andean tradition reads as dark constellations. Not the stars themselves, the shapes between them.

Evenings are slow. No one asks you to have understood something before you go to bed.

Your cabin in the Sacred Valley

Samadhi Sacred Valley, a family run place an hour from Cusco. The whole property is ours for 10 days.

A small group, never more than 18 women. Seven cabins, one of which is ours. Each cabin has a double bed and two single beds, a private bathroom, daily housekeeping, and your luggage carried in on arrival.

Before a spot is confirmed, we talk. I want to answer whatever stayed with you since you found this page: the questions, the hesitations. Then we get to the practical side.

This group is chosen. Everyone in it arrived through the same conversation.

Who you will share with

I place the cabins myself, based on what you tell me during the call and on a short form you fill in before departure. Sleep, early riser or night owl, how much quiet you need, whether you want the double bed or a single.

You know who you are with before you leave, never on arrival. If an arrangement concerns you, tell me so we can review the available options.

If sharing a room is a clear no

Then this is not the right training, and I would rather you know that now than find out in January. Every cabin here is shared, usually three women to a cabin, and there is no private option for this date.

For some women, a room of their own is what makes deep work possible. That is a real need, not a preference, and it calls for a retreat built around it.

Bookings close January 5, 2027, four days before departure.

The food

The kitchen at Samadhi is essentially vegetarian, and the food is exceptional. You eat very well here.

Everything is cooked on site, three times a day, with produce from their own organic gardens and from the valley. Chicken and fish are offered on the side for the women who want them. Nothing lands on your plate without you choosing it.

If you are vegan, or working with something more specific, we look at it together before you leave. Allergies and preferences are noted and respected, so you never have to explain yourself at the table.

Coca leaf tea

Coca leaf tea is available at the centre. It is optional, and ordinary tea is available too.

It is the daily infusion of these valleys, going back centuries. It is traditionally offered to visitors at altitude. Strong evidence that it prevents or treats altitude illness is lacking; discuss its suitability with your healthcare professional.

What to know about coca leaf tea

The question comes up, so let us be clear. The coca leaf is a plant that Andean people have chewed and brewed for thousands of years, the way other cultures drink tea. It is served in homes, hotels and offices across the region, to grandmothers and schoolchildren alike.

Coca leaf tea and purified cocaine are different preparations, but the leaf contains cocaine alkaloids. Its traditional use does not make it suitable for everyone.

About alcohol

None is served, at any meal, on any day.

Nothing is confiscated and you are an adult, so this is a request rather than a rule. I am asking you not to drink during these ten days. What you are coming for is presence, and the ability to feel what is actually moving in your body. Alcohol numbs exactly that, and it would quietly take from you the thing you came for.

The water

You do not drink tap water in Peru, and here you will not have to. Purified drinking water is available on site all day, and the kitchen prepares everything with it. That last point is what usually catches travelers out, and it is why eating in one place for ten days is far gentler than a week of restaurants.

The weather in January

January is the green season in the Sacred Valley, and the valley is overflowing with life.

What to expect in the valley

Samadhi sits in Huycho, in Urubamba, deep in the Sacred Valley. The days there are noticeably milder than in Cusco, the city you fly into.

It rains on several days in the month, but usually as a short afternoon shower rather than a grey day. Mornings are almost always clear, and many afternoons stay sunny and warm right through. The clouds move across the mountains all day in a way that keeps changing what you are looking at.

I was there last December, in the same season, and the sun was out far more often than the rainfall numbers suggest.

January is the wettest month in the valley, with about 260 mm (10 inches) over the month. Days run around 16 to 19°C (61 to 66°F), and nights drop to 5 or 6°C (41 to 43°F). Humidity is high and the sun is strong even through cloud, so you can be hot and cold in the same afternoon.

Why this month is worth it

Everything is green. The river is full, the terraces are planted, and the hills have a color they do not have in the dry season.

You will also share Machu Picchu with around 3,000 people a day, not the high season cap of 5,600. That difference is something you feel while you are standing there.

What to bring for it

Layers rather than one warm coat. A light rain jacket you can put on and take off without thinking. Shoes that hold on wet stone.

If the weather changes the plan

Landslides and train delays happen in this season. If it touches us, we adjust and I tell you right away.

Getting there

You land in Cusco, at Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport (CUZ). The transfer from the airport to Samadhi Sacred Valley is included.

Your arrival window

Plan to land on January 9 before noon, Cusco time, ideally between 7 and 10 a.m. The group transfer leaves Cusco airport at 1:30 p.m.

On January 18, checkout is at 10:30 a.m., followed by the group transfer to Cusco. Confirm your return flight timing with Mélina before booking; allow for the road journey and airline check-in. Buy flights only after written participation approval.

Where we meet you

Cusco airport is small, which makes this simple. After collecting your bags, meet the team inside at the arrivals exit, with an Oracle Woman sign. If you are already in Cusco, join us just outside arrivals before 1:30 p.m.

There is no one to find, no taxi to negotiate, nothing to untangle in Spanish. Names, numbers and exact details go out with your welcome kit before you leave.

Your passport

Check it now rather than in December. Peru requires your passport to be valid for at least six months past your arrival date, and that is the detail that catches people out.

Canadian, US, UK and most European passport holders do not need a visa for a stay of this length. At the border you will be asked for proof of onward travel, which is simply your return ticket. If you hold another passport, tell me during the call and we check it together well before you book.

Bring the passport itself on the Machu Picchu day. It is checked on the train and again at the entrance, and the name on your ticket has to match exactly, so send me your name precisely as it appears on the document.

Arriving early, or staying on

Plenty of women do, and I would rather you know now than after.

Arriving a day or two early in Cusco or the valley takes some of the heaviness out of a long travel day and lets you actually land before we begin. Staying on is the other option. Cusco itself, Lake Titicaca, the Amazon, or simply two quiet days before you go back into your life.

You book and pay for those nights yourself, and I am happy to suggest where to stay. Give me your real dates when you book. The included group transfer is on January 9; separate transfers and extra nights are at your expense. If you miss the group departure, a separate transfer is approximately $40–60 USD for the 90-minute journey.

Cash and tipping

Bring Peruvian soles for the markets, where card payment works unevenly. There are ATMs at Cusco airport and in Urubamba, and US dollars are widely accepted as long as the bills are clean and untorn.

Tips for the staff, the ceremony carriers and the guides are customary and warmly received. A suggested amount is in your welcome kit, so you are not guessing on the last morning or quietly comparing with the woman next to you.

Before you go

All the logistics and your welcome kit are sent once your spot is confirmed.

Your health and safety

Ten days of heat, ceremony and deep body work, far from home. Here is exactly how it is held.

The medical side, on site

I hold a current first aid certification. Vanessa Massicotte is present for all ten days. Meet the full team above.

This is not a hospital and I will not pretend otherwise. What it means is that when your body does something you did not expect, you are not deciding alone, in a country you do not know, in a language you do not speak.

In every retreat I have led, nothing has ever needed more than that.

If it ever did

There is an emergency medical service in Urubamba, minutes from the center, with its own doctors, nurses and paramedics. A Cusco based service travels the Sacred Valley 24 hours a day. Cusco, about an hour away, has full hospitals.

Travel insurance is required for the whole trip, including emergency medical care, evacuation and repatriation, cancellation and interruption. Check cover for your itinerary and activities with your insurer; clinics may require payment at the time of care.

What I need to know before you leave

After reserving, you complete the health review before final participation approval. Heart or lung conditions, blood pressure, pregnancy, epilepsy, diabetes, recent surgery, anything you take daily, anything that has ever gone wrong for you in heat.

I review this personally to assess whether participation is suitable and whether you need advice from your own doctor. Payment or receipt of the form is not approval. If participation is unsuitable, all amounts paid are refunded, including the deposit. The temazcal is the element that asks the most of a body, so that is the one I look at closely with you.

Your medication travels with you, in its original packaging, in more than the trip requires. Same for your EpiPen if you carry one. That part stays yours, as on any trip.

Consent, touch and your free will

Every practice here is optional. You can decline one before it starts, or stop it partway through, and no one comments, not then and not after. Your free will is complete and it is never up for negotiation.

You stay clothed for the entire retreat. There is no nudity at any point, in any session or ceremony. Nothing here asks you to undress.

Bodywork involves touch, and touch is asked for before it happens. You can withdraw that consent at any second, without giving a reason. The touch is never sexual and never involves the breasts or genitals. No, stop and not there are complete answers.

Why bodywork sessions are filmed

They are, and you have the right to know that now, not once you are there.

Bodywork is one woman putting her hands on another woman's body. If something is questioned afterward, it becomes one version against another and neither can prove anything. A recording removes that entirely. It protects you if you were uncomfortable with something that happened, and it protects the practitioner from a groundless accusation. It exists so that neither of you has to rely on memory.

These private recordings are not used in marketing or shared with the group. They are stored encrypted, with access restricted to Mélina, and retained for seven years before deletion. They may be consulted for a concern, complaint, insurance requirement or legal obligation. Recording is required for participation; if you decline it, everything paid is refunded, including the deposit. The four Zoom integration calls are recorded separately for group replays.

The photographer and videographer

Part of what you take home is being able to see yourself there, so a professional photographer and videographer travels with the group.

She works to your consent, not mine, and she never enters a bodywork session. How your choice is recorded is spelled out in the questions and answers, further down.

Vaccines

Vaccination and malaria advice depend on your itinerary, medical history and current guidance. A travel clinic can review the Sacred Valley stay and any extra travel you plan before or after it.

Ask about routine vaccinations, hepatitis A and any yellow fever or malaria precautions relevant to your route. Book that appointment a few months ahead, not two weeks before. Current travel-health guidance for Peru.

What stays between us

What is said in a circle stays in that circle. No one repeats another woman's story, during the retreat or after, and that is a condition of being here, not a wish.

Nothing you say in a session becomes marketing material. If a photo of you is going to be shared publicly, I ask you first, every time, and a no is received without any awkwardness.

Is Peru safe

The scheduled airport transfers and programme outings are organised with the group. The centre is family run and fenced. During free time or independent travel, you remain responsible for your own plans and normal travel precautions.

If someone at home is worried about you going, this is the paragraph to show them.

The quiet promise underneath all of it

You are not asked to be brave with your own body here. If something hurts or frightens you, or you need to stop, you say so and it stops.

Nothing in these ten days asks you to override yourself. That would be the opposite of the work.

The honest part

How to leave for 10 days without the kids

Leaving for 10 days without the kids can be a lot.

Especially when you have already made choices that shook up your personal life.

And it is normal for it to stir something.

Notice that you are not asking permission. You are announcing a decision and handling it well afterward. Those are two different postures, and the second one lands differently.

The part that is harder to say

For some women, the real fear is not a badly organized week.

It is ten days where no one needs anything, and finding out they liked it. And then wondering what that says about them.

It says you were carrying a load, and your body noticed the moment it was set down. Relief measures a weight, it is not a verdict on your love. The women who feel it are usually the ones who have held the most for the longest.

What actually happens on the flight home is that most women want to see their people. Not out of duty. They just want to.

. . .

What there actually is to put in place

Write out the ordinary week. School runs, meals, appointments already booked, who does bedtime. On paper there is almost always less to manage than there is at 11 p.m. in your head.

Give the whole picture to one person rather than splitting it between four. Splitting creates coordination, and you are the one who will do it.

Leave one emergency page: my number, the number for the center, the address and your flight details.

Tell the kids early, in simple words, with the return date somewhere they can see it. Ten clear days is far easier for a child than a vague absence.

And yes, you can reach them

There is wifi at Samadhi and no one takes your phone. Call home as often as you need to.

What most women notice around the third day is that they check less, without having decided to.

The only hard part

The only thing you will really have to do is own the decision to choose yourself.

Everything else is a scheduling problem, and you have solved worse before lunch.
