Her Story

Rona has spent years walking alongside people through some of life’s most difficult moments: grief, bullying, self-doubt, and the kind of pain that makes you feel invisible. As a mentor and guide, she’s helped families find their footing again, empowered young people to rediscover their confidence, and built a loyal community of people who trust her deeply.

But Rona’s calling has always been bigger than a single practice. She’s always been drawn to young people who are struggling, children who are bullied, families who feel powerless, and she knew she wanted to create a physical space where healing could happen. Not in an office. Not on a screen. Around a campfire, under the stars, in a cabin where every painted mural and hand-placed detail whispers: you belong here.

When she found this property in Silver Lake, Washington, nestled in the shadow of Mount St. Helens and just minutes from the mountain, she knew she’d found the place. She set to work building four themed cabins, each one a world of its own. Aliens and Bigfoot in one, an underwater paradise in another, a gnome garden buzzing with bees, and a cozy bear den that feels like the warmest hug. Every detail was chosen with love, every corner designed to spark joy.

My Lil Piece of Heaven isn’t just a retreat center. It’s what happens when someone with a huge heart and an unshakable vision decides the world needs more magic, and then builds it with her own two hands.
