From Women Who’ve Been in the Room.

Real words from women who’ve been in the room.

  • “
    I went to the Dominican Republic and found the most wonderful sanctuary at Natura Cabana… The depths of my experience there was enhanced immeasurably by encountering Courtney Grace. It was divine intervention when our paths crossed and I discovered her sound healing. I was fortunate to have my own sound healing session right by the beach and my body had never experienced such a profound peace and alignment. I then signed up for her sound healing session at the pool and years of trapped emotions escaped my body as relaxation poured over me. Finally, going to the mountains with one of her retreats and experiencing her yoga along with the sound while feeling the breeze and hearing the rustling of the trees is something I will never forget, just thinking about it makes my body come alive and I cannot wait to get back to Cabarete and be back in her presence and experience her healing techniques for wholeness and peace.

    I had an amazing time for my first ever wellness retreat and first time traveling solo and to DR. I felt safe. I got well needed rest and was around women who inspired me to want to do better and want to do more. This retreat made me realize that I need to make changes, please continue what you’re doing. When I was telling my family about my experience and how the trip was, they said we already knew you were having an amazing time because you did not call us. You did not text us every time we asked you how you were doing. You said great and you sent photos so we didn’t bother you after that cause we know you so well and all I could do was laugh. So even my family saw it. And God knew who I needed in my space. And I’m glad it worked out like that. Cause I got to worry about myself and not others. Love you, my dear. And I look forward to another retreat.

What Does It Mean to Be Sovereign?

Sovereignty is the moment you stop outsourcing your power. It’s the decision to know yourself deeply — your body, your energy, your boundaries, your gifts — and to stop waiting for permission to live from that place.

It’s not a title. It’s not a retreat. It’s not something anyone can give you. It’s what happens when you finally get in the room with women who are on the same journey — and realize you were never behind.

This summit exists for the woman who is ready to stop performing wellness and start embodying it. The woman who has been the expert in everyone else’s life and is ready to become the expert in her own.

Sovereign Sister Summit — sovereignty graphic

This Is Not a Conference. It’s a Coming Home.

The Sovereign Sister Summit brings together women from the Dominican Republic, the United States, and beyond — locals, expats, visitors — all walking different paths and arriving at the same question: Who am I when I choose myself first?

Ten world-class facilitators. One intentional day. Every session — whether it’s medicine, movement, sound, astrology, or self-expression — is a doorway back to the same thing: you, reclaimed.

This is where your sovereignty begins.

Courtney Grace

Host & Founder · CG Wellness

Courtney Grace didn’t start CG Wellness because she had it all figured out. She started it because she didn’t — and she refused to believe she was the only one.

After years of pouring into everyone else, building businesses, showing up fully for her community, and doing it all from a place of depletion — she chose herself. She left everything familiar, landed on the north coast of the Dominican Republic, and built something new. Not just a brand. A movement.

CG Wellness exists because sovereignty isn’t taught. It isn’t handed to you. It’s something you have to decide — and Courtney built this summit so that decision could happen in a room full of women who are ready to make it together.

This is her mission. This is her story. And on November 4th, she’s holding the door open for yours.

Your Seat Is Waiting.

Seating is limited. Give yourself this one day.
