Ground + Growth

In Playa Negra Costa-Rica

Join us for year three. Align with your highest self during our 5 night, 6 day wellness retreat in sunny Costa-Rica this winter.  Holding space for you to reflect and grow at Peace Retreat. 

Don't just imagine change – embrace it. Costa Rica's sunlit shores and Peace Retreat's tranquility await your arrival. It's time to step into a life of purpose, growth, and authenticity. Seize this moment to rewrite your story, and embark on a path illuminated by the transformative power of self-discovery.

About Your Retreat Facilitator

My story is one of unexpected turns and steadfast determination. Early motherhood presented its challenges, but it also ignited in me a fierce resolve to not just succeed, but thrive. My vision was clear: to rise above my beginnings and forge a path as a hardworking entrepreneur.

However, ambition comes at a cost, and a few years back, I grappled with burnout, a harsh reminder of my limits. That struggle forced a pause, a reevaluation of what truly mattered, and it was during that reflective pause that I embraced my genuine purpose.

My journey led me to dive deeply into the realms of spirituality and healing. I enriched myself with various disciplines: manifestation, sound baths, cacao ceremonies, Reiki, and breathwork facilitation. All these practices informed my approach as a trauma-informed practitioner, grounding me in the belief that healing is an ongoing journey, one that we navigate together.

Today, I am the proud owner of a wellness space where I dedicate myself to the growth and healing of others. I stand as a testament to resilience and as a guide for those on their own healing paths. I am a firm believer that our evolution never ceases; we are all perpetual students of life.

As I look forward to meeting you and being a part of your transformative experience in Costa Rica, remember, we are allies on this path—constantly healing, constantly evolving, and forever supporting one another.
