Hello
Welcome to the Cardinal Retreats. Many wonder how the Cardinal came to be. Let's ignore all the ways that "life was lifing" and focus on my During 2023, after learning I had chronic migraines, I visited the emergency room in February due to "feeling weird". While waiting, I suffered a seizure, well multiple seizures. After epilesy was rulled out, this was the start of a yearlong quest to find out why I was suffering these episodes. My body suffered more than just seizures, but also muscle weakness, dizzy spells, and temporary paraylsis. Overnight, I went from a scholar with boundless energy to suffering cognitive decline and barely able to walk. Eventually, I was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder. What does this have to do with the Cardinal?
One consistent instruction from medical professionals was that my body and mind needed to truly rest and recuperate in order to start my body's natural healing process. The problem was that I was surrounded by life and responsibilities. I wanted-needed-a place where I could escape the world and return to myself. I searched for a facility like this and found nothing. So I decided to create one myself.
The Cardinal Retreats was created to provide a place where the weary could come for rest and leave restored. A placed where you're being poured into, instead of you pouring out. Where you are the priority, your needs are anticipated and you are the focus. My ultimate goal is for you to walk into the Cardinal, take a deep breath and as you exhale you release your burdens as you begin your journey back to yourself.
