Description

Your training is not a one-size-fits-all; it's a tapestry of experiences, each thread carefully chosen to align with your journey.

That's why each experience is personalized and typically a 1:1 private experience or couples experience for those who crave this intimacy.

Beyond training, we offer a portal to self-discovery, a sanctuary for rejuvenation, and a canvas for transformation.

Our commitment to curating an experience beyond the expected sets us apart from the ordinary.

Our training is crafted intentionally to guide you through a transformative journey based on the desires you express during your initial intake conversations before your retreat.

Picture yourself surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature, the gentle rustle of leaves, and the rhythmic waves of the ocean as you delve into a practice that aligns your breath, mind, and spirit.

we intend to provide a safe, loving embrace of support so that you can enjoy stillness and self-reflection, a sanctuary within the sanctuary.

We carefully weave together training sessions, mindful hikes, and wellness activities that resonate with your unique aspirations and desires.

Our mission is to feel supported, seen, heard, and have results beyond your expectations, with post-training integration to sustain your rejuvenated health and vitality.

As soon as you book this retreat with us, we will schedule a pre-retreat consultation call to prepare your body and mind for this experience so you will ease more gently into this experience!

Our time together is co-created with your intentions sharing peaceful moments, and plenty of fun and joy!

You will also have abundant free time, giving you the time and space that you need to focus on yourself, let go of stressful everyday life, find true guidance for new directions, and open your heart fully to the magic of Costa Rica.

What Makes This Retreat Special

What sets us apart from the ordinary is our commitment to curating an experience beyond the expected.

We’re typically very fast at replying to inquiries. We can accommodate on short notice.

Our intimate training is truly special because we offer unparalleled personalized attention and care, completely different than the larger group training. We take care of each individual for their specific intentions and desires and empower each trainee with the tools needed to be offering sessions and services immediately after their experience here with us.

It is our passion and purpose to transmit the knowledge and wisdom of our combined two decades of experience in self-care, self-connection, and training therapists and teachers.

We invite you into our world and help you understand why we moved to Costa Rica (from New York and France).

One of the highlights is the 1:1 personal time with us, ensuring that your training experience is tailored specifically to your needs and desires, from massage and sound healing to yoga, breathwork, meditation, forest walks, and kayaking in a serene river surrounded by exquisite wildlife.

With a personalized schedule crafted just for you, every moment of your stay is designed to deepen your connection with yourself and your purpose.

Our warm and loving energy creates a nurturing environment where you can fully relax and immerse yourself in the beauty of the jungle and beaches.

We take pride in curating special experiences, from hidden jungle gems to secret beach spots, that you wouldn't find on your own.

As your wellness concierge, we are dedicated to crafting blissful experiences that harmonize with the natural surroundings.

Join us for a completely customized, personal training experience that goes beyond the ordinary. Every detail is thoughtfully considered, and every experience is infused with our genuine care and passion for your well-being.

It's a commitment to providing more than just a place to stay—an immersive experience that encourages you to live fully, love deeply, and thrive on your terms.

Our philosophy invites us to transcend the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary, to connect with your true self and the magic that resides within and around you.

In essence, our philosophy is Pura Vida—a celebration of life, an acknowledgment of the interconnectedness of all things, and an invitation to flow with the rhythm of nature.
