This dreamy week in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, intentionally crafted to revive you and allow your heart to rest, will change your year and relationship with food.
It is my mission for each and every woman attending this retreat to leave with new, life long friendships, an overflowing heart, sun kissed cheeks and new tools to help them begin or dive deeper into their journey to finding total peace with food and themselves.
"It was by far the best thing I’ve ever done for myself."
"I am completely without words for the experience of this retreat. It was by far the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. The knowledge I gained from every experience packed into that short week was monumental. Surfing, the ice bath, breath work, all the workshops, and all the unbelievable food in between was nothing short of incredible." -Martina
"One word that captures all of my feelings is 'FREE'."
"I feel more confident in my relationship with food, I have more appreciation for my body, I have more awareness as to what fuels me day to day, I have more patience for myself, I understand I’m not alone, etc. I could go on forever. I could not be more proud of myself for taking a chance on this enlightened week. "I remember driving the 4 hours back to the airport alone to fly home after the retreat was over and crying tears of happiness thinking about how one small random decision led me to this feeling of relief and freedom. That there was and still is weight lifted off my shoulders.
One word that captures all of my feelings is “FREE”. -Jackie
"One of the most memorable and positive experiences of my life."
What a profound mindset shift this has resulted in. I am so happy I made the silly little decision to go on a self-interpreted “vacation” that ended up being one of the most memorable and positive experiences of my life. I see myself differently and listen to myself in a way I never did before -- a way that honors my biological, emotional, and physical needs without guilt or shame, because now I know how to process, combat and make amends with those feelings. Honestly, I feel more liberated to live my life as it’s intended to be lived: with adventure and new experiences and love and spontaneity and gratitude and so much more." -Bella
