Symptoms of Success Strain
Mental Fog
When clarity fades, and simple choices become daunting, it’s a sign that your mind is overburdened.
Physical Breakdown
Your body is a messenger, and ignoring its signals can lead to a cascade of health issues.
Relationship Strain
As you climb higher, the bonds that once grounded you may begin to fray, leaving you isolated.
My story might sound, or even worse, feel familiar
I need to tell you something I couldn’t admit for years:
I was burnt out and living out of self-determination
As a Medical Director during the pandemic,
I led teams through the darkest days of COVID.
We saved lives.
We were called heroes.
But every night, I’d come home empty. Depleted.
Running on obligation instead of purpose.
I had all the credentials:
Medical Director overseeing critical care changes during global chaos
Operations Director managing the complex systems of 8 clinics
Over 250 employees answering to me
Dual board-certifications as a nurse practitioner
The respect of my peers
And I was dying inside.
The breaking point came when I realized I had lost my passion.
I was perpetuating a lie that success requires self-destruction.
That’s when everything changed.
I started the journey of walking away from obligation and began the adventure back to living from purpose instead of burnout.
I discovered what renewal actually looks like.
And now I’ve created what I desperately needed then: Eden Ascent Retreats.
Meet the Renewal Team
At Eden Ascent Retreats, our dedicated team is here to guide you on a journey of renewal and transformation. Each member brings a unique set of skills and experiences to help you rediscover your passion and purpose.

Emergency medicine expertise. Longevity science innovation. Global servant’s heart.
Nicholas Delaney MSN APRN FNP-C ENP-C has spent over 10 years in emergency trauma medicine witnessing the body’s incredible capacity for both breakdown and breakthrough. As founder and director of a leading functional health and longevity clinic, he’s pioneered approaches that help leaders not just recover, but optimize for sustained peak performance.
His servant’s heart has led him to 8 countries serving the poor, where he discovered that peak physical performance means nothing without peak purpose. These experiences taught him that true fulfillment requires both cutting-edge science and timeless compassion, but most importantly, it requires leaders who understand their calling extends far beyond personal optimization.
His unique integration of spiritual principles with proven medical protocols creates transformations that touch every dimension of life.
“I’ve learned that the most effective healing happens when we honor both how our bodies were designed to function and to live with an eternal purpose.”

Two decades of nursing excellence. One passionate mission: transformation.
From neurosurgery to labor and delivery suites, Angie Delaney BSN RN has spent over 20 years witnessing the incredible resilience of the human body and spirit. Her expertise spans the most critical moments of life—where precision, compassion, and hope intersect.
Specializing in neurosurgery, labor and delivery, and patient education, Angie discovered her true calling isn’t just treating symptoms—it’s empowering complete transformation. She brings both clinical excellence and a heart that genuinely cares about seeing leaders not just recover, but truly thrive.
“I am convinced that even the most desolate and wearisome seasons of life can be used as a chrysalis for transformation. If we remain yielded to the process there is no limit to the heights we might find ourselves when we emerge.”

Pristine waters mastery. Decades of guiding wisdom. Nature’s lessons for leaders.
Paul Starring has spent decades reading the language of Northern New Hampshire’s rivers and streams. As owner of Grid North Guide Service and an Orvis-endorsed fly fishing guide, he’s discovered that the art of fly fishing mirrors the art of purposeful leadership—both require patience, precision, and the wisdom to know when to act and when to be still.
His mission transcends teaching casting techniques. Through thousands of hours guiding leaders on pristine waters, Paul has witnessed how nature strips away pretense and reveals truth. He’s learned that the river teaches what boardrooms cannot: authentic presence, strategic patience, and the power of working with natural rhythms rather than against them.
Licensed in both New Hampshire and Maine, Paul creates experiences where leaders rediscover their instincts and remember why they started their journey in the first place.
“The river doesn’t care about your title or net worth. It only responds to presence, patience, and purpose. That’s where real leadership begins.”

Nutritional science. Supernatural ministry. Transformational results.
Jenna Anan brings a unique combination of scientific knowledge through her Bachelor’s in Nutrition, deep spiritual insight through her ministry training and a calling to see people wholly restored.
As a dancer, Jenna understands that true wellness flows when body, mind, and spirit move in perfect harmony. Her passion for holistic healing means she approaches each leader not as a collection of symptoms, but as a whole person designed for extraordinary impact.
“Divine health is more than just the absence of symptoms . . . it’s the journey of being made whole. As we honor our bodies, allow space for our souls to breathe, and live connected to the only true Source of Life, we will find ourselves again. Healed. Restored. Set free.“

Day 1: Arrival & Assessment
Welcome and Evaluation
Your transformation begins with discovering what your body has been trying to tell you through our comprehensive longevity assessment at our clinic.

Tonight, you’ll remember what true rest feels like.
Day 2: Reconnection

Day 3: Renewal
Embracing Transformation
Today, cutting-edge therapies give way to nature’s ancient wisdom. Will you find clarity casting lines into crystal streams? Discover your rhythm on mountain trails? Feel the wind awaken something dormant as you bike through pristine paths? The wilderness has lessons only your heart can hear. After all the adventure of the day has ended, we’ll gather in the evening for fireside stories of transformation.

Building Your Future
Feel the shift happening—therapies working deeper, nature speaking clearer, connections growing stronger. Your chosen adventure today feels different because you’re different. Tonight we feast and celebrate not what you’ve accomplished, but who you’re becoming.
