A 3-night, 4-day luxury retreat for autistic affirming moms ready to Rest & Reconnect
Love & Autism’s
Moms Retreat
Hey Love.
Your heart was meant to find this. Your body has needed this. Your mind is wondering how you will escape all the things you do. This isn’t an escape. This is a homecoming.
Welcome Home.
Why this retreat?
This Isn’t About Fixing Your Child.
It’s About Finally Finding Your Tribe.
You’ve spent years fighting for what is right and good for your kid. You will never stop showing up for your child with unwavering love and fierce determination to make this world autistic affirming.
And somewhere in all of that, you feel alone.
So very alone. This retreat isn’t another workshop on how to parent — it’s a space designed entirely for you. A place to rest your nervous system. To feel understood.
To be nourished in heart, body and soul.
This Retreat is for the Mom Who Is...
What to Expect?

More Beauty Inside and Out
Make Your Retreat Extra Special
Each of us carries unique needs in our bodies and nervous systems. To feel fully alive, we sometimes require different kinds of support. These add-on experiences are designed to gently enhance your retreat — offering space to deepen your rest, expand your healing, and reconnect with yourself in new ways.
They are not necessary for the fullness of your retreat; the retreat itself is complete and whole. But if you feel called, these offerings may give you the chance to lean into what your body, mind, and spirit are asking for — in a way that’s just right for you.
Somatic Body Work – 50 minutes · $150
A gentle, body-centered approach to healing. Somatic body work helps release stored tension and stress patterns held in the body, inviting greater ease, presence, and connection with yourself.

Thoughtful Accessibility
Hi, I'm Jenny
I’ve spent decades dismantling ableism and reshaping the narrative of what it means to live and love autistically. What I know for sure: mothers are the anchor.
Autistic-affirming moms don’t need convincing their child isn’t a tragedy. They’ve rejected the pathology paradigm and keep challenging stereotypes and fighting for autistic human rights every single day. These mothers are redefining what it means to parent authentically autistic children.
The truth is, the world can be harsh, discriminatory, and painful—and these moms feel it deeply.
My answer is love, joy, rest, and belonging. This retreat exists because these mothers know they deserve this.
Love & Gratitude, Founder of Love & Autism
If you’ve ever Love & Autism’ed or Never Love & Autism’ed….this retreat is for you.
You belong here.
