You spend your life caring for others. Take some time for you.
Join Dr. Michelle Quirk for the RestRx Spring Reset, A 1-Day Retreat for Women Physicians
Saturday, March 6, 2027, at Normandy Farm in Blue Bell, PA
As women physicians, we’re used to caring for everyone else including our patients, our families, and our communities. We are experts at pushing through, showing up, and giving more, often at the expense of our own rest.
This weekend is an invitation to pause.
Join Dr. Michelle Quirk for a restorative, end-of-summer retreat designed exclusively for women physicians. Step away from the demands of work and home life to reconnect with your body, your breath, and yourself.
Through yoga, guided rest practices, and spacious time for reflection, you’ll rediscover what it feels like to truly exhale.

Michelle Quirk, MD
Dr. Michelle Quirk is a board certified pediatrician and a certified run coach with the Road Runners Club of America (RRCA). She founded Mindful Marathon to help women physicians use running as a path to healing, self-discovery, and sustainable wellbeing.
Michelle loves the balance she feels with a regular running routine and meditation practice, and she cannot wait to share the powerful results that can be achieved when movement is balanced with rest.
What Our Attendees Are Saying
“Thank you for a wonderful retreat. It truly has been life changing for me.
I have been dabbling in mindfulness but now feel ready to dive deeper.
I felt such warmth and support from all.”
~Dr. Samantha C
“I was hoping for a fresh spark to renew my meditation and movement practice.
Instead I found a group of strong, feeling souls that connected on a level I did not expect!”
~ Dr. Lisa K
“I did not realize how much I needed to nourish my soul until I was at the retreat with the incredible women there! I LOVED it.
We ALL needed it so much. Not to escape real life but to be reminded that every single day is such a gift. And we can and will set an intention for each day.”
~ Dr. Mitra A
