From number one 1 best-selling self-help, counselling, and travel author Pearl Howie – the audiobook of her mini-guide to Phoenix, Arizona.

There’s a reason this place is called Phoenix.

We talk about awakening, awareness, and other terms in healing. They’ve become quite the buzz words (along with “woke,”) but, for me, what I would call my awakening was a momentary death of ego and a rebirth of mind, body, and spirit.

Was it the firewalk, the driving, the teachers I met along the way? Or just the Native American ritual in a world class spa?

I’ve experienced so many types of healing - all I know is that what works for one person is wrong for another. Every body is different.

Although I started writing these mini-guides to share the hotel, spa, and the rest - the retreat in a box I dreamt of when I first began Pearl Escapes - they are also just stories...for the unadventurous adventurer, as well as the keen explorer, we each have our own way of experiencing life.

From the Amazon best-selling author of the Camino de la Luna series and the Pearl Escapes guides.

"To me, you are a hero... You have learned to take something negative in your life and make it a positive... a gift to others. It doesn't get any better than that. Don't doubt that you are capable of helping others... in terms of other of life's difficulties... What an adventure!" (Susan Jeffers, Ph.D., author of Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway)

Not small, just travel size.
