Yes? Then come and join a group of women this Lent on a journey guided by experts to cultivate emotional wellness: Do You Want to be Well?A Holistic Course on Woman’s Emotional Wellness.
Why is emotional wellness so critical?
According to experts, people who are emotionally well have fewer negative emotions and greater resilience—they can rebound from difficulties faster.
Emotional health is the cornerstone of well-being—it enables us to manage life’s stresses and sufferings, to better adapt to change and challenges, and to thrive, not just survive.
What our 8-week Lenten course will provide:
Weekly virtual LIVE discussions hosted by certified Catholic Life Coach Christina Brown with restoration teammates and expert “guides” for teaching, discussion, and Q & A on holistic wellness topics
A Scriptural focus for the Lenten journey
Weekly wellness tools on each topic to help participants progress on their restoration journey to wellness
Access to a private community to engage in discussions throughout Lent, virtual weekly LIVE Q & A
Exclusive access to replays of LIVE courses, offered during LENT and beyond
Access to special promotions/offerings
Learning from both experts + other women journeying toward restoration
Our program is designed by women for women. This wellness course includes experts in their fields, such as psychology/mental health, pastoral care, certified life & strengths coaching, and more! As women who have been intentionally journeying together towards restoration in Christ in our ministry for the past few years, we will share our own experiences too—such as what has hindered and helped us along the way.
Here are the experts and weekly topics they will be presenting on:
The mission of this Holistic Course on Woman’s Emotional Wellness Program is to provide:
A guided Lenten journey: Guiding our Lenten journey through death to new life, allowing Christ to resurrect what has died in us, whether that is physically, emotionally, verbally, or psychologically
Education: To provide access to teaching from experts and disciples to educate women on healthy ways to grow and sustain emotional wellness in body, mind, and spirit
Community: To build a community of like-minded Christian & Catholic women through accompaniment that supports, encourages, and provides accountability for participants
Resources: To provide resources to cultivate women’s wellness, not self-help tactics, but God-help centered
Restoration: To restore is to bring a soul back to wholeness in Christ, as originally intended. We desire to lead women back into right alignment with God—returning to the truth of their identity—as His beloved

Inspired by Scripture & the Spirit
“Now there is in Jerusalem at the Sheep [Gate] a pool called in Hebrew Bethesda, with five porticoes. In these lay a large number of ill, blind, lame, and crippled. One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been ill for a long time, he said to him, “Do you want to be well?”
John 5:2-6
During the Summer of 2022, the words of John 5:6, “Do you want to be well?” awoke Founder Lisa Martinez in the middle of the night. While she pondered those words before sunrise, the outline for an entire 8-week wellness course poured onto the page. Through prayer and discernment, Lisa reached out to mentors, mental health professionals, and friends whose gifts and work inspire restoration to begin development.
A few months later, Lisa and Christina Brown reconnected after more than a decade to appear as guests on each other’s podcasts during Advent. Now certified to use her gifts to restore through Catholic Life Coaching, Christy had been pondering a more significant way to collaborate—suggesting developing an exclusive 8-week course for our community. Clueless that an outline of an 8-week course was already underway, it was all the confirmation necessary to collaborate in launching the first-everChrist-centered Women’s Emotional Wellness Holistic Course!
Why journey with this group?
Have you ever thought, read, or talked about how to manage your emotions better, address self-defeating mindsets, or become rooted in your truest identity yet not successfully achieved it? Yep, we have too, and that’s where accompaniment is crucial.
Spiritual accompaniment is about presence, you and others showing up to support your desire to change, grow, and deepen your relationship with Christ, who makes all things new. Accompaniment not just for a Lenten weekend retreat (which is great) but over an extended period—in this case, 8 weeks—as companions on the same journey. Our team has been journeying in restoration together for years, and now we want to pour out from what Christ has poured into our hearts.
Accompaniment also helps with accountability, which plays a critical role for those of us who desire wellness. Did you know that 65% of people are more likely to set and reach different goals when they share them with someone else? And that increases to 95%when someone shares their goals and aspirations with a group that meets regularly to review their progress, according to the American Society of Training and Development.
What does this course cost?
Our ministry has offered hundreds of free videos, podcasts, blogs, graphics, and resources since 2020. Yet this time, we want to work with women more hands-on. As such, we’ve invested countless hours of preparation with professionals to deliver a course that will continue to provide value for years to come! Not an online course where you’ll stream videos alone, but one presented LIVE with a community to engage with and provide support and weekly resources offered with the holistic wellness of a woman just like YOU in mind.
The average cost for just 1 month of working with a certified life coach is $500, so 2-months would average $1,000. But not our Lenten course, which also offers access to experts in their fields, accompaniment by restoration team members, a private group for discussion, weekly wellness tools, and special offers.
As a non-profit, we don’t want price to be an obstacle to restoration, so we are extending our lowest prices to the pioneers of this 8-week journey.
