The ALIGN + SPARK TANK!™ Experience
A strategic immersion for wellness practitioners and founders
Clarity. Strategy. Momentum.
Some experiences give you inspiration. This one gives you a plan, a community, and the momentum to execute it.
Beginning with four weeks of virtual preparation, moving into an immersive three-day retreat at a private luxury estate in Scottsdale, and continuing with 90 days of post-retreat integration support — this is a complete strategic container designed to move you forward.
Early bird pricing ends July 13. Limited to 10–12 participants.
The Three Phases
PHASE 1
ALIGN Foundations
Before you arrive in Scottsdale, you’ll spend four weeks clarifying your vision, refining your messaging, and preparing for the deeper strategic work ahead. This isn’t pre-work for the sake of it — it’s the foundation that makes the retreat exponentially more valuable.

- The ALIGN Framework™ daily exercises and business foundations
- ALIGN Workbook and guided reflection exercises
- Accountability partner support

- Success case studies and bonus video content
PHASE 2
ALIGN + SPARK TANK!™ Leaders Retreat
A 3-day curated strategic immersion designed to accelerate clarity, connection, leadership, and aligned growth — hosted at a private luxury estate in Scottsdale where the setting itself becomes part of the experience.
- Collaborative workshops and strategic refinement sessions
- SPARK TANK!™ at Sonoran University of Health Sciences
- Leadership development through The ALIGN Framework™
- Restorative and reflective space
- Implementation planning
- Meaningful connection with a curated group of peers
The work happens in an extraordinary setting — a private luxury estate in Scottsdale where the pool, swim-up bar, spa, pickleball, and gardens are yours to enjoy between sessions.

OPTION 3
The Custom Build
For those who want it built entirely around them
A private, highly personalized engagement for wellness founders and practitioners navigating a significant next chapter — a launch, a pivot, a growth phase, or a strategic evolution.
Unlike the group experience, this is entirely one-on-one. You’ll work directly with Trevor and Amy in a focused advisory relationship built around your specific situation, goals, and timeline — with dedicated sessions, hands-on strategic support, and deep refinement.
Each engagement is centered on one or two focus areas. Examples include:
- Brand DNA and positioning
- Website strategy and messaging architecture
- Speaker, media, and podcast visibility strategy
- Book strategy and thought leadership
- Launch or scale strategy
- Product development strategy
- Retreat and experience design
- Exit or legacy strategy
This is not a program. It’s a custom engagement designed around you.
Beginning at $15,000
Limited to 2–3 engagements per cycle. Scope and investment determined through conversation.
Retreat attendance is available as an optional add-on for Custom Build clients at standard enrollment pricing.
A Personal Invitation
We created this experience because we know what it feels like to have a vision worth building and not quite know how to get there. We’ve been in that place — and we’ve found our way through it.
The ALIGN + SPARK TANK!™ Experience is our way of creating the room we wished we’d had — filled with the right people, the right conversations, and a clear path forward.
We’d love to have you there.

Past Participant Reflections
The experience provided valuable perspective and reaffirmed our commitment to communicating our purpose with greater depth and simplicity.
“We were inspired to attend by the gracious invitation and the opportunity to share our business vision with a new audience. The timing felt right to connect with others in the Natural Medicine community and to present our progress to a group outside of our immediate circle. It was meaningful to observe how our message resonated with people unfamiliar with our work — to see what landed, what needed clarity, and where we could refine our story. That experience provided valuable perspective and reaffirmed our commitment to communicating our purpose with greater depth and simplicity. The most transformative aspect was the reflection that followed — realizing how sharing our vision publicly deepened our own connection to it. It strengthened our leadership focus on authenticity, clarity, and continued alignment between our wellness philosophy and our business growth.”
This retreat did not just inspire me. It moved me into action.
“I arrived at the ALIGN Retreat holding a question I have carried for a long time: how do I take nearly two decades of deeply integrated healing work and evolve into a business that is even more financially sustainable and soul-aligned?
I did not leave with every answer. I left with something I had not expected to find as fully as I did: hope.
Being in a room of brilliant, heart-centered, and genuinely thriving practitioners reminded me that the version of values-aligned success I am moving toward is indeed possible.
SPARK TANK!™ alone was worth the investment. Since leaving, I have already launched new collaborations, set up networking meet and greets, and taken clear next steps toward growing my platform.
This retreat did not just inspire me. It moved me into action.
This was the room I had been yearning to be in. I am grateful I said yes.”
This experience was supportive, inspiring, and effective
“This experience was supportive, inspiring, and effective. It provided a high level of expertise from a variety of sources, making it much more actionable than similar retreats I’ve attended. The caliber and diversity of the speakers stood out — each one brought practical, real-world insights I could immediately apply to my own business, as well as my work as a Career Advisor. Rather than leaving with vague ideas and motivation, I walked away with concrete strategies. It’s rare to find a retreat that delivers this much substance alongside genuine community and encouragement. I’d recommend it to any entrepreneur serious about leveling up. If you’re tired of shallow conferences and want real, expert takeaways, and personal transformation, this is the one!”
Trevor and Amy built a space where people could step out of the noise, be more fully themselves, and connect in a way that felt real.
“Brent and I had the best time at the retreat Dr. Trevor Cates and Dr. Amy Bader created.
And it’s hard to point to one thing that made it special because every piece felt so considered.
The food was incredible. Not just delicious (although it was) but also genuinely nurturing. Each meal felt like part of the experience, not a logistical break from it. The house felt like a treehouse tucked into this hidden pocket of Portland: quiet, magical, secluded, and somehow still close to everything we needed.
The whole weekend had that same quality: thoughtful, but not overdone; spacious, but not aimless; structured, but not rigid.
The agenda gave us room to breathe and still brought in such a generous, aligned group of speakers, mentors, and humans. I came in barely knowing anyone in the room, and by the end, I was fully invested in everyone’s ideas, stories, and next steps.
That’s not easy to create.
Trevor and Amy built a space where people could step out of the noise, be more fully themselves, and connect in a way that felt real. Brent and I will hold this weekend as deeply formative, both personally and for the work we’re building together.”
The next chapter of my career...
“As a breast cancer surgeon, my work was deeply meaningful, but I knew I was ready to move into the next chapter of my career with clarity and strategy. Amy and Trevor’s virtual mentorship program has helped me refine my vision, focus on what matters most, and take steady action. Their guidance is thoughtful, insightful, and encouraging, and at the same time, it is practical. And the peer support on the calls has been an unexpected gift — reflective, supportive, and motivating. I am so grateful for this experience and these people!”
A true turning point for me...
“Working with Trevor and Amy in the Premium Mentorship was a true turning point for me. I experienced several major breakthroughs that shifted my work into an exciting and bold new direction. Their encouragement, clarity, and strategic guidance gave me the confidence to pursue a vision I had been tiptoeing around before. With their support, I now have the structure and strategy in place to fully step into this next chapter.”
