What is Your Mountain?
If it looks like addiction, that's straight up hard terrain!
To conqueror any mountain,
you don't have to be prepared, only willing to choose a path.
Each path is a sacred choice; to remain where you are,
or move gently toward healing-which is your
inner refuge. You are not alone the path is here;
we are ready to walk beside you.

My Story
A Refuge: That which shelters or protects; a sanctuary which secures safety by it's sacredness; a place inaccessible to an enemy.
It wasn't dramatic, or headline news the day I found myself needing a Refuge. It wasn't a normal day either when I picked up the phone and checked myself into Alcohol rehab. If you are being chased by an enemy, survival forces you to shelter or find a Refuge...I know addiction, and I know treatment.
My story has required it twice. In 2007, sober and desiring to help others, I became a Certified Recovery & Spiritual Coach, working on staff in addiction treatment centers for many years. RMWR was born as an option.
Located at 7500', where wild animals run free and the mountains call you 'home', we welcome you to visit in person or work with us virtually,
you can return to your inner Refuge within.

Hear from women who found healing & renewal.
Working with LisaJoy has been truly life SAVING for me. I'm moving forward with confidence because I am stronger, clearer, and more hopeful due to her profound knowledge and empathic wisdom. She has a gift in guiding women through recovery with compassion, insight and love.

One of the biggest highlights of my Rocky Mountain trip was women’s forest therapy guided wander with LisaJoy.
I knew it would be beautiful—I just didn’t know how much I needed it. I left feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected to nature and myself.
We slowed down and took it all in with every sense—birds, breezes through the trees, fresh pine on the air, all the little details, plus a warm pine needle tea ceremony, just being present felt like a reset.
My favorite part was making a nature mandala with leaves, pinecones, bark, and little treasures from the forest. We also pulled angel cards, and the reflections turned into really meaningful conversations.
This wasn’t just a walk in the woods. It was peaceful, grounding, and I’m carrying that feeling with me long after leaving Colorado. So grateful to LisaJoy who guided us through something truly special—if you need to slow down and refill your cup, I can’t recommend it enough.

Working with Lisa has changed everything for me, Everything. I didn't know what I needed until she asked the right questions, and guess what, there were my answers.
