PEAK PROTOCOL INTENSIVE
Choose your experience:
Three formats, each shaped around you.
With Cara Ugolini and Rachael Leman.
WHAT IS PEAK PROTOCOL?
Peak Protocol is a one-day experience that brings together two disciplines: conscious connected breathwork with Rachael Leman, and neuroscience-informed coaching with Cara Ugolini. Breathwork settles the nervous system and opens access to what lives beneath the surface. Cara's coaching then works with the patterns that surface, at the level of identity.
The day is both deep and deeply nourishing. Participants are carefully held throughout, with time built in for rest, integration, and a chef-prepared meal. It's held in Flint Hill, Virginia, with the option to bring Cara and Rachael to another location upon consultation.
Peak Protocol is especially meaningful for people who have done real work in other modalities and still carry a pattern that hasn't released. For many, it becomes a powerful starting point for ongoing work, or a focused complement to coaching already underway.
WAYS TO WORK WITH PEAK PROTOCOL
Uniquely tailored with you, for you.
FOR EXECUTIVES & SENIOR LEADERS
The Executive Intensive
For high performers who've already done the hard work and still find something in the way. Built for C-suite executives, senior partners, founders navigating scale or transition, senior government and federal leadership, and active-duty servicemembers and veterans.
UP TO 4 PARTICIPANTS
FOR COUPLES
Connection & the Nervous System
Release the patterns. Rewire how you connect. For couples on a journey together who are ready to go deeper — beyond the reactivity that hijacks connection, the walls that keep you safe but distant, and old wounds that resurface as today's argument.
PER COUPLE
FOR INDIVIDUALS & PRACTITIONERS
The One-Day Intensive
For highly intentional, conscientious people ready to finally get the breakthrough they've been working for — professionals in healing modalities, entrepreneurs and founders, high- performing professionals, and service members and veterans.
UP TO 4 PARTICIPANTS
Investment and location for every track are shared personally, based on which format is the right fit — discussed during your consultation with Cara.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE POWER
Two disciplines, one recalibration.
Neuroscience-Informed Brain Training
Behavior isn't driven by conscious strategy alone — it's shaped by subconscious neural patterns that govern outlook, decision-making, and interpersonal dynamics. With targeted intervention, neural pathways can be reorganized and threat/reward responses recalibrated.
Cara Ugolini applies somatic and neurological rewiring modalities refined over years of work with individuals, couples, and groups.
Conscious Connected Breathwork
A structured breathing practice that regulates the autonomic nervous system, shifting the body out of chronic stress activation into a state where subconscious rewiring becomes accessible — reducing the rumination and anxiety loops that keep patterns locked in place.
Rachael Leman is a licensed trauma-informed breathworker, certified by the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance, with 25+ years of senior-level government and non-profit leadership experience. https://www.keysvillebreathworks.com
HOW THE DAY WORKS
One day, four phases.
01
TOGETHER, WITH RACHAEL LEMAN
Conscious Connected Breathwork
The day opens with breathwork, naturally opening the subconscious mind and clearing somatic blockages so real change can take hold.
02
INDIVIDUALLY, WITH CARA UGOLINI
Private Sessions with Cara
Each participant meets privately with Cara for neuro coaching — locating where relational patterns began and beginning to rewire them at the level of identity. For couples, each partner meets Cara individually for this phase.
03
INDIVIDUALLY, WITH RACHAEL LEMAN
Private Sessions with Rachael
Each participant meets privately with Rachael for a somatic, nervous-system-focused session tailored to what their body needs, supporting the rewiring process at the physiological level.
04
TOGETHER, WITH CARA & RACHAEL
Integration Session
The work solidifies through sessions that harness the neuro-coaching while attending to the nervous system. For couples, what was rewired individually is brought into the room you share, so the shift becomes something you integrate together.
Lunch and a gourmet meal is included, prepared fresh on site.
WHAT PARTICIPANTS SAY
Release. Rewire. Reboot.
"Peak Protocol was a hugely clarifying and life-changing experience. Cara and Rachael are exemplary facilitators and the process was incredibly precise and productive. I received more benefits from one day than I have over several months of coaching and I noticed significant changes in my patterns and behaviors immediately."
K.H. · PSYCHEDELIC MINISTER & COACH
"Words like 'total operating system reboot' or 'complete life upgrade' immediately come to mind. I truly believe these women are masters of human psychology, behavior, and pattern recognition. The way they integrate all of it breaks every mold I've experienced, whether that's traditional therapy, retreats, or other healing modalities. They don't just help you find the breakthrough you're looking for. They help you uncover the breakthrough you didn't even know you needed."
A.L. · MARKETING EXECUTIVE
"Just one year shy of our 50th wedding anniversary, Peak Protocol enabled us to shift patterns that had always been with us. Dynamics and triggers that felt like immutable facts of our relationship started to melt away. We’ve found a new ability to stay present with each other in tough circumstances, and not withdraw or go into old wounding. It’s a whole new chapter now."
GREG & LIZ · ON THEIR PEAK PROTOCOL DAY
"From the moment the session was explained to me, I recognized that this was something entirely different from anything I had previously encountered. What I can say with certainty is that the experience has been genuinely life changing. Only one day has passed since the session, yet can already feel a clear shift in the way I think and process the world around me."
RAFAEL SALDANA · U.S. MARINE CORPS VETERAN
"During the breathwork, I experienced a range of intense physical sensations — waves of warmth and cold, followed by a sensation that felt almost like electricity moving through my entire body. What surprised me most were the incredibly vivid images that came to me... I walked in skeptical but open-minded. I walked away with a completely different perspective on breathwork and a genuine appreciation for how powerful the experience can be."
