PRIVATE RETREATS
YOUR CAREER DEVELOPMENT & RENEWAL ON THE BEACH
Kona, Big Island Hawai’i
Imagine this…
You’re sitting on a peaceful beach in Hawaii, toes in the sand, as the gentle rhythm of the waves calms your mind. Surrounded by lush greenery and the warm island breeze, you’re guided in heart-to-heart conversations that unlock clarity, renewal, and new insights for your career and life path.
This is a deeply customized retreat if you’re ready to step out of burnout, quiet the noise, and reconnect with what is true for you. Career Zen blends career clarity with nervous system care, gentle movement, and spacious integration time, so that your next steps feel grounded and real, tangible and actionable.
🌺 Book to receive clarity, hope, and direction.
2026 Retreats available April-October, and by request.
Career Zen services are the same price in Austin and Kona!
When you step out of your daily environment, something powerful happens.
A Private Retreat in Kona creates a rare container: time, space, nature, and focused 1:1 support. You’re not trying to figure out your life between meetings, emails, deadlines, and stress. You’re fully in it.
Most Career Zen clients move through their transformation over 2 to 3 months. Your Hawaii retreat is the deep reset and accelerated clarity container that helps you move forward. Within a week, your nervous system softens and your truth comes through more clearly. The island embraces you, and transformation happens quickly.
This is what becomes possible when you give yourself space to actually hear yourself again.
“I would advise anyone who feels stuck or burned out to work with Dr. Lynn. Her program revealed paths and opportunities that I wouldn’t have previously considered for myself. The coaching that she provided was encouraging and uplifting while the chance to experience my coaching sessions in Kona was the icing on the cake. This gorgeous, tranquil setting allows your mind to relax and be more open to new possibilities in your career and life. I came to the Career Zen Kona Retreat unsure of my next steps, but I left with peace, clarity and courage to pursue a life that is purposeful to me.”

I had the Private Career Retreat in Hawaii with Dr. Lynn and it was life-changing! It gave me a chance to step away from my day-to-day routine so that I could truly open up to all the possibilities for my next career phase. Each day’s session was crafted to build a life vision and practical next steps that I could carry home with me. I highly recommend traveling to Kona to work with Dr. Lynn!” - Michelle
