Who we are
Monica Wentworth, LMHC, and Amanda Pietig, LMFT, are the heart and humor behind Healing Collective Retreats. Together, they’ve built a thriving counseling practice in Iowa that focuses on healing from the inside out—both for clients AND therapists. Their retreats are crafted from the same belief that fuels their work every day: when helpers take time to rest, reflect, and reconnect, the ripple effect reaches everyone they care for.
Monica brings a grounded, soulful energy, guiding others toward self-compassion and sustainable growth (and yes, she’s usually the one making sure everyone remembers to breathe). Amanda balances her calm with equal parts energy drinks and emo playlists, creating a space that feels safe, genuine, and a little bit hilarious. Together, they’re redefining what it means to care for the caregivers—one restorative, joy-filled retreat at a time.
