Making the commitment of time, energy and resources to attend an international retreat, is not something most of us go about lightly. The decision to embark on this type of travel and experience is one that is usually born out of a recognition for change, a break, a need for clarity or healing.

I went on this same journey to Salvatierra because I knew and trusted the hosts. Sonali and Favi were my guides and provided a sense of safety and security I needed in order to book this retreat. This is part of my “why” for coming back as a host. If you know me, and trust me in your care and on your healing journey, I hope this will feel accessible to you, too.

I love being a therapist and I love supporting clients and professionals in my office. This is a chance to step outside those walls and into nature and into something deeper and wider for new dimensions of growth and community.

Thank you for considering this retreat as part of your investment into yourself. My wish is for you to experience some of the same magic I felt in this place, and return to real life a little lighter, more grounded and a lot more connected to yourself & nature.

Your Retreat Hosts have curated a beautiful offering for your week. They each bring their own passion and creativity to this space and cannot wait to share their gifts with you!

What to Expect:

The Experience at Salvatierra

Nestled between jungle and ocean, Salvatierra Retreat Center offers an eco-luxury environment designed for deep restoration and connection to nature.

Here, the land becomes part of the experience:

• open-air accommodations with natural airflow (no traditional AC)
• jungle pathways, ocean views, and immersive nature
• saltwater pool, cold plunge, and beach access
• nourishing, chef-prepared Blue Zone-inspired meals
• a slower pace of living that supports presence and reset

This is an invitation to step out of urgency and into rhythm, where your body can soften and recalibrate.

If you are still not sure about this, let me mention one more thing…the FOOD.

One of the best parts of this retreat is the amazing food that is served each day, prepared from the land and sea as much as possible. The meals are dairy free and gluten free.

Between the fresh coffee and coconut milk in the morning to the fresh juices and fruit for snack, to the best ceviche you will ever eat…you will be so nourished and satisfied.
