The Team
Who We Are
Hi! My name is Lindsey and I am a full-time CRNA and mom to a 3 year old boy who, let's be honest, runs the house. Hobbies-I have lots! Backyard chickens, a dog named Ollie who requires many walks, and I love a great murder mystery on Netflix before bed. I am a devout coffee drinker, yogi, and will throw some weights around. Anything to move my body is a 'yes' from me! Ask me anything! I am a pretty open book. If I've learned anything from these retreats, it's that we all have very similar passions, pain points, and perspectives, and linking arms together is pretty empowering.

Operations Manager, yoga instructor, teacher
Hi, I’m Heather. I’m someone who cares deeply — about people, about purpose, and about creating spaces where we can all feel seen, supported, and inspired. I help coordinate the heart and logistics behind each Whole Soul Retreat, and it truly lights me up to be part of something that brings women together in such meaningful ways. I love exploring what it means to live with intention and to show up as our full selves. Whether we connect over email, on IG, or in person at a retreat, I’m so grateful to be walking this journey with you.

Tia Francisco
CRNA and teacher
“Hi, I'm Tia – a dedicated Nurse Anesthetist with a decade of invaluable experience in the healthcare field. When I'm not in the operating room, my passion for adventure takes me traveling to new and exciting destinations. I finds solace in the art of yoga and enjoy sipping on a rich cup of coffee or a fine glass of wine. As an avid Chiefs football fan, I know how to rally for my team!
My true calling, however, lies in empowering women to discover their confidence and strike the perfect balance between their professional and personal lives. I joined the team because Whole Soul Retreats offers the tools and gives opportunity towards achieving that.”

Summer Slanda
CRNA, yoga instructor, teacher
Hi! I’m Summer, a Yogi CRNA of 13 years currently trying on a Chief hat for size at a small community hospital . I became a mother at the age of 41 via IVF after several years of fertility challenges. My household is complete with a loving husband, clever daughter, never enough goldendoodle, sassy cat and sweet hamster! I discovered the incredible mind-body benefits of yoga during anesthesia school and beyond excited to share the practice with “every body” because Yoga is for everyone. Whole Soul Retreats was a transformative experience for me in 2022. I am grateful to support this mission of female CRNAs empowering one another in so many ways.

Erin Baniukiewicz
CRNA, Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Teacher
Hi, I’m Erin.
I’m a mom to two amazing teenagers and a dog mom to my 10-year-old golden, Brody.
I’ve been a CRNA for nearly 20 years, and throughout my career I’ve always been passionate about wellness. As busy, professional women, we often burn the candle at every end—making it so important to slow down, reconnect, and realign.
I love meeting like-minded women and creating space for meaningful connection, growth, and becoming the best version of ourselves. Outside of work, I love any form of exercise—especially when it’s outdoors—along with a good book and continuing my education. I consider myself a lifelong student.
I truly look forward to meeting new friends and having fun together. I’m so excited to be part of the WSR Team!

Hello, I’m Lizz and work as an independent CRNA in a rural community hospital doing everything from OB to regional anesthesia to lining up patients in the ICU. I am a mom to a 16 and 20 year old and I LOVE this stage of life with kids!! When not at work, you can find me listening to audiobooks and podcasts, while deep cleaning/organizing (it’s my therapy), hiking or at the lake with family wake surfing. I’m obsessed with Pickleball, late nights, playing cards, pranking my coworkers, and all things personal development. I love to plan/host a party and being around people and sharing ideas and values is what fills up my “cup”, I’m so excited to be a part of the WSR team and meet each of you!
