Dr. Wylie is the founder of a community nonprofit organization that successfully managed healthy marriage federal funding for seven years in Southern California, serving over 7000 families. The seven selected evidence-based programs helped families and couples have better relationships and communication skills, with a research outcome of 94% recommending the programs and 89% of surveyed couples showing improved communication and relationship skills from 16 hours of learning, coaching, and practicing new skills by her and her professionally trained instructors.
Dr. Wylie has trained over 1000 of her professional peers (pastors, psychologists, therapists, social workers, and educators) in a variety of communication, relationship, parenting, and self-development programs. It gives her a great sense of pride to know so many caring professionals, both nationally and internationally, are teaching others to have more loving relationships, marriages, and families, and happier and more successful lives.
Dr. Wylie is founding director of Amore Retreat Idyllwild (ARI), where she has developed and specializes in the best one-of-a-kind five-day Marriage & Couple's Intensive Retreat with a very positive outcome and doesn't compromise her time or her couple's time to give them less than what is "essential" to create a life changing experience. The program is "priceless" and has assisted thousands of couples reignite love and desire for one another and experience a deeper love than they ever had before. She is delighted with the outcome and transformation of her couples, even those in crisis and considering divorce.
Her Journey to Love program and workbook, launched in 2003, was in such high demand that she wrote a complimentary edition, Summit of Your Potential, which is specifically geared for men. She uses these two programs/workbooks in her five day Personal Intensive Retreats.
Dr. Wylie is a strong advocate of Marriage Preparation and has created a one of a kind five-day Marriage Preparation Retreat to assist couples in preparing for a lifetime of love, security and happiness. In her work, so many couples have expressed they wish they had the skills she teaches when they first got married, to avoid the crisis they experienced later in their lives together. So she's hoping more couples will invest in their marriage before saying "I do."
She also continues to speak at national conferences, train professionals, give retreats, write, research, and provide relationship counseling to couples and individuals that have attended her retreat/s.
She is delighted to be living full time in beautiful Idyllwild. She is the proud mother of five amazing grown children who are now married and have blessed her with 15 grandchildren. She thrives on her loving relationship with her husband Jim, fun family time together, and nurturing friendships. She also enjoys the great outdoors, photography, hiking, movies, interior design, gardening, entertaining, traveling, writing, baking, promoting visitors to Idyllwild, supporting the prevention of human trafficking and her fluffy white six-pound Maltese, Bella, that happily welcomes each visitor at the door.

Hello, I'm Bella (aka: The Beast) and and I'm not as shy as I look. I believe my job is very important. I'll greet you at the door and welcome you into Amore Retreat. I'm happy to stay for your sessions, unless you prefer I not. After giving you lots of love there is a good chance I'll settle in for a quiet nap. If at any time you need me just let me know and I'll be there giving you extra support. I witness many couples transform their relationship for the better and I'm delighted to be part of the amazing process. Oh, and by the way there is a little pet shop in the middle of town and do they ever make yummy dog biscuits - just a little hint...
xoxo
Bella
Amore Retreat Idyllwild Story
|
Amore Retreat is located in enchanting Idyllwild, among tall pines, huge oaks and sweet smelling cedar trees, with four delightful seasons. Hiking trails abound, plus majestic mountains and awesome rock formations, with Strawberry Creek flowing through the village, as well as Lake Hemet and Lake Fulmar on the outskirts. It is one of the top 100 art towns and filled with galleries, gift shops and numerous awesome restaurants to choose from, as well as welcoming lodging accommodations. Idyllwild provides couples and individuals an abundance of relaxing, fun and romantic activities to enjoy.
Dr. Wylie fell in love with Idyllwild on her first visit in 2006 and decided then to someday move up on the Hill and provide marriage and couple’s retreats. At the time she wasn't sure what that would look like and explored the option of starting a B&B type retreat location. She then discovered God had a “better” plan for her and that running a B&B Retreat would drain her of not only her energy, but also the time she desired to dedicate to working with couples and individuals. So the “better” plan was to focus on couples and individuals while working exclusively in assisting them in transforming their lives, relationships and marriage. And has created a cozy and warm living room office in her delightful home with her loving husband, with a great deal of privacy and homeyness to provide couples and individuals a relaxing environment, where they feel safe, secure and honored as an individual as well as a couple. As you arrive you’ll have your own parking space in the driveway and coming up the walk-way you’ll enjoy the three tier water feature and large oak tree, and the front yard surrounded by trees, rose bushes and daffodils in the spring. You’ll not only be warmly greeted by Dr. Wylie, when you enter through the double french doors that creates your own private entrance, you will also have the happy Maltese Bella let you know how delighted she is that you have arrived. During the cold winters, there will be a crackling fire in the fireplace and in the warm summers a cool breeze coming through the windows. The Keurig will be warmed up and ready to provide you hot coffee or tea, as well as your own private restroom. You’ll both comfortably sit on the large leather Chesterfield sofa and put in a good days worth of work in a loving environment.
