Was January tougher than every month last year, put together?

Give yourself permission to begin again.

It’s an opportunity to experience the clarity and peace that come from a gentle digital detox, all while immersed in the natural wonder of Costa Rica.

Curate your path to renewal with activities that breathe life into every cell. Engage in the art of yoga and meditation, wander through the jungle's embrace,

Immerse yourself into a serene symphony of waves, wildlife, and whispering foliage—where the soul finds its harmony and heart reconnects with the rhythm of the Mother Earth.

Joy, Ease, Power and Beauty


… Are my words for 2024. Intentional Rest, without secretly being worried, is Power.


Intentional rest is the antithesis of a scarcity mindset.


If January was a wash, what words have you chosen for the reset?

The Brain, On Travel


Travel brings new experiences which makes neurons fire and form completely new neural pathways in the brain.


These pathways are open for fresh creativity and problem solving. Accessing these superhighways coupled with skills gained from your travel help you build a better business.

The Brain, On Rest


Deep restorative rest allows the brain to get rid of waste, organize information and create spaciousness for those aha moments.


Ever woke up with a brilliant idea?


That was your brain doing what it’s meant to do.

At the Radical Rest Retreat, you will have a journal to keep by your bed to capture these moments of genius. You will go home a new, more connected person with the energy to change things and put them back on track.

My Story

Prepare to fall in Love ♥️ with Costa Rica

Puerto Viejo is like no other place you've ever been. I came here on a whim. I was vacationing on the Pacific Side, like most other tourists, and kept asking for delicious food. I would get the same response - go to the Caribbean side, but I was scared. It’s not easy to get there and isn’t it dangerous?

I drove 5 hours from San Jose to Cocles in Puerto Viejo, Limon. I pulled into the middle of town and the vibrant Caribbean colors, black people, smell of real charcoal on the grills of street vendors wafting from every corner, and the music was entrancing. Immediately I knew I was in love.

This was put together for the woman who always heard she is different and loves to live life on her own terms. Her friend and family may not quite understand why she is a nomad or loner =, but love her dearly and she is exhausted of everyday demands, getting restless needs some sun and something different. For the person who wants to connect with their squad and doesn’t mind traveling off the beaten path to a beautiful raw place that has not become a tourist trap.
