September 17-21, 2025
Allentown, Pennsylvania
Bladder issues can be painful, embarrassing, and isolating.
But there is hope! And you don't have to suffer alone.
SOUND INTRIGUING? THEN YOU JUST MIGHT BE A BLADDER BABE....
So....what the heck is a "bladder babe?"
blad·der [ˈbladər] 🤔 babe [ˈbāb]
We're so glad you asked!
You know you're a BLADDER BABE when you:
-
Struggle with persistent bladder symptoms: urgency, frequency, pain, or hesitancy
-
Have a mystery illness PLUS a history of bladder issues
-
Have been diagnosed with recurrent urinary tract infections OR interstitial cystitis
OR, you....
-
Are feeling great most of the time, but sometimes just, you know, pee your pants 🤭
Oh, and bonus points if you....
-
Want to learn more about the various risk factors that contribute to bladder issues
-
Could really use some expert guidance on how to set up a plan to heal, once and for all
-
Wouldn't mind being part of a community of like-minded women (who also pee their pants) to walk alongside you on this healing journey
-
Are too busy caring for everyone else to make time and space for your own health
What do you think? Are you a Bladder Babe?
Sink into self-care and high-level learning as we explore ~ and begin to address ~ the root causes of persistent bladder symptoms.
EXPLORATION ON ALL LIMBS OF YOUR TREE
Physical....Emotional....Conceptual....Social..
Spiritual.... All limbs of the tree that is YOU will be lovingly nourished during this immersive Bladder Babes Retreat! You will leave feeling more whole, connected, and vibrantly alive than you even thought possible....on all limbs of your tree.
ORGANIC FRESH LOCAL MEALS
Enjoy home-cooked meals prepared by Dr. Reihman and anyone else seeking to hone their culinary skills while on retreat. All meals will be gluten- and preservative-free, and will lean towards the modified ketogenic diet that Dr. Reihman teaches for optimal bladder (and whole-person) health.
TWICE DAILY DIDACTICS
Wondering why your bladder hasn't been able to heal yet? Explore the latest insights into persistent bladder symptoms with Dr. Kristin in twice-daily workshops, and pick her integrative, holistic, Stanford-trained medical doctor brain as much as you want throughout the retreat.
DAILY MOVEMENT PRACTICES
Nothing raises mood or invokes a parasympathetic response like movement! Explore gentle yoga at both ends of each day, or enjoy a walk through the beautiful surrounding property by yourself, or with a new friend during Open Space every day.
CONNECTION WITH LIKE MINDS
Studies show that optimal, whole-person health relies on a robust Healing Team. Come experience the deep community that is possible when seekers of wellness come together with the intention to heal and replenish, holding loving, respectful space for themselves and for one another.
TRANSFORMATIONAL PRACTICES
Experience the elevation of energy, whole-body relief, and deep peace that come from releasing old, stuck emotions and limiting beliefs about what is possible for your healing. Leave empowered with simple tools and practices you can use at home to continue your healing and transformation.
TIME AND SPACE FOR STILLNESS
Every day includes "open space," free time for you to use for silent reflection... journaling... detox foot baths... time with one of our healing tools (see below!)... chatting with new and old friends... walking in nature.... or simply rest. Or, pre-book one of our favorite bodywork practitioners--including pelvic floor specialists--available to you before, during, and after the retreat for an extra fee.
EXPERIMENT WITH NEW HEALING TOOLS
Wondering if a Biomat or an Ion Cleanse Foot Bath can improve energy and circulation? Find out for yourself! Curious about frequency devices, and whether they can help with your Allergies, Anxiety, or Pain? Slap one on your wrist, and see!
"I love watching Kristin in the kitchen! She is so passionate about cooking, I feel so inspired watching her...I want to go home and try new things. And Bethany's yoga is so magical! "

ABOUT YOUR HOSTS: DR. KRISTIN
Hi! I'm
KRISTIN CLAGUE REIHMAN, MD.
I am a double-board-certified physician, author, and mother of four. I recovered from Lyme disease in 2011, and suffered a stroke in 2022, so I know from personal experience what it is to have a body that stops working, and a brain that does not function optimally. I also discovered in 2024 that I was brewing some bladder biofilm infections, and this is one of my favorite topics to teach about.
My passion has always been sharing what I've learned the hard way, empowering you with the tools, practices, and mindset shifts to optimize your own brain, body, mind, bladder, and total health. And I love nothing more than doing this in the relaxing setting of my former home, now my office and wellness center, at the Trout Creek Healing Collective in the lovely Lehigh Valley.
The best part of retreats for me is facilitating a safe and connected group, hosting conversations that transform and inspire as they educate and connect. I can't wait to teach you everything there is to know about how to heal your bladder!

Drawing on an eclectic blend of hands on, healing traditions, Bethany Clague incorporates massage, Reiki, sound bowls, and shamanism to create transformational sessions that are bespoke, uplifting, and tailored expressly to you.

Paula Bernhardt is a Licensed Massage Therapist and Lymphatic Drainage Specialist at South Mountain Massage Therapy. Lymphatic drainage massage is a therapeutic technique that encourages the natural flow of lymph, enhancing the removal of waste products and toxins from the body. Gentle, rhythmic massage techniques are paired with careful manual manipulation to stimulate lymphatic flow throughout the body and promote circulation. This unique process stimulates the removal of toxins, enhances the transport of immune cells, improves fluid balance and reduces inflammation.
UNSCHEDULED TIME EACH DAY ALLOWS YOU TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR EXPERIENCE.
(Additional fee applies.)
Sheetal Contractor is a Registered Yoga Teacher/Trainer (E-RYT-500), Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) and Wellness Coach residing in the Lehigh Valley, PA.
She specializes in Marma, an Ayurvedic massage technique that is a traditional Indian alternative medicine system with a long, rich history. In Ayurvedic medicine, it’s believed that the five elements of the world have a huge impact on a person’s health. Marma points are specific anatomical locations in your body through which the energy of these elements is believed to flow. Marma points therapy is the practice of stimulating these spots through gentle massage therapy.
Once you've booked, we will send a link to book your private session.
Lori Haring is a licensed physical therapist with expertise in craniosacral, visceral release, and pelvic floor therapy. By listening to the body to identify the greatest areas of need, she begins by identifying existing lines of fascial tension that can create restrictions, pain, and dysfunction, and then gently creates the opportunity for those tensions to release. This can result in improvements in posture, restoration of normal movement patterns, and relief of pain throughout the body. Pelvic floor sessions available by advanced request.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AND I CANNOT ATTEND, CAN I GET A REFUND?
Half (50%) of your rate, once paid, is considered a non-refundable deposit. We understand that life happens, and offer a partial refund, depending on when you cancel your reservation. The remaining 50% of your booking is fully refundable up to 3 months prior to retreat (June 18th, 2025), and 25% is refundable up to 1 month prior to retreat (August 18th, 2025). Cancellations that occur after August 18, 2025, will not be refunded.
IF I DON'T PEE MY PANTS, AM I STILL INVITED?
YES! Incontinence is one of the many symptoms of chronic bladder issues, and is by no means always present. Many women who need this retreat have no current urinary symptoms at all. This retreat is designed for women who want to better understand the role that chronic bladder inflammation can play in their health. If you are unsure if it's a good fit for you, please reach out and speak to our team at support@kristinreihmanmd.com, and together we can sort it out.
WHAT IF I NEED TO COME LATE, OR LEAVE EARLY?
We strongly urge you to take whatever steps are necessary to ensure this does not happen. The experience of the group deepens over the 5 days together, and we wouldn't want you to miss out on this aspect of your transformational weekend due to an absence.
WHEN DOES THE RETREAT ACTUALLY BEGIN...AND END?
Your retreat begins the minute you book, because that is when you begin looking forward to the amazing transformation that awaits! Studies have shown that having something meaningful to look forward to enhances memory, promotes a sense of well-being, and enhances motivation. 🙂 Official activities commence on Wednesday at 3pm, the week of the retreat, and wrap up by 2pm on Sunday.
HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE WILL BE AT THE RETREAT?
Our space can accommodate up to 15 people, but it may also be as cozy as ten. We strongly believe that the people who show up are exactly the people who are meant to be there.
I REALLY WANT TO BECOME A PATIENT OF DR. REIHMAN'S PRACTICE. IS THIS A WAY TO DO THAT?
Dr. Kristin is currently only taking new patients who struggle with complex mystery illnesses in conjunction with chronic bladder infections. If you meet this description, attendance at this retreat is currently one of two ways to become a new patient. Reach out to our team if this is of interest to you, and we can explain the full path to patienthood.
IF I AM ONLY ATTENDING THE DAYTIME EVENTS, CAN I STAY AFTER OFFICIAL ACTIVITIES END EACH DAY?
Absolutely! We only ask that those choosing to stay up beyond official end-of-day activities--usually around 9 pm each night--remember that others lodging in the space may be trying to sleep, and limit their conversation to the downstairs or outdoor common areas, so their voices will not disturb others' rest.
CAN I CHOOSE MY OWN ROOM?
You may choose whether you have a private room or your own bed in a shared room. Which room you will be housed in will be determined by the Retreat Team the week before the event. Please note that some participants will be given rooms at Trout Creek, where most of the retreat activities are held, and others will be roomed in the house next door. Both properties are charming older homes with tons of character, and they share a large, sweeping backyard and meadow. They feel like sisters, connected and collaborating to support you and offer their healing vibes.
I AM OPTING FOR A SHARED ROOM. CAN I CHOOSE MY ROOMMATE(S)?
Absolutely! In fact, we hope you will bring friends and bunk together, which will allow for even more time to share, connect, and reflect. That being said, if you do not identify your desired roommate(s) when you book, or if your chosen roommates do not book or cancel, we reserve the right to place you with another retreat participant in order to fill our rooms. If you already know who you plan to bunk with, please reach out now to support@kristinreihmanmd.com to let us know. Please note that this is a women's only retreat.
WILL I HAVE MY OWN BATHROOM?
As both homes are over 100 years old, none of the bedrooms have a bathroom. There are two full bathrooms at Trout Creek, and two at the Charming Home at Trout Creek, next door, where some participants will be staying. You are welcome to use any of these, and they are all shared. All bathrooms require stairs, as they are either on the 2nd floor or in the basement.
WEDNESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY SEEMS TOO SHORT FOR ME! CAN I BOOK A LONGER STAY?
Yes! Both houses have availability for two days prior and one day after the retreat. If you would like to come early or stay late, please reach out to our team at support@kristinreihmanmd.com to inquire. Special retreat rates will be in effect for these add-on nights, so please do not book on Airbnb, since rates there do not reflect your discount. Also, several of our practitioners have also offered to make themselves available before and after the retreat, in the event that participants choose to stay and get additional private sessions.
HOW CAN I BOOK A PRIVATE SESSION WITH ONE OF YOUR VISITING HEALERS?
In order to book a private session, you can reach out the practitioners directly. Contact information will be sent to you after you have booked your retreat or in early September, whichever comes first. Note that several of our practitioners can make themselves available in the days before and after the retreat, in the event that you would like to stay and get additional private sessions. All private sessions carry an additional fee, paid directly to the practitioner at the time of service.
