Mother Nurture Retreat: Costa Rica
mama, I see you.
I know what it’s like to pour your heart, body & soul into caring for your kids, and having so little left for yourself. I see You holding the pieces together for your family, but who holds you?
This retreat was created purposefully to hold you, mama. To offer a gentle pause from the demands of everyday life, where you can reconnect with yourself as an individual woman, while being held in loving support by other mamas who understand both the struggles and beauty of motherhood. It's a space to nurture yourself, fill your cup and revitalize your energy. Because when you thrive, your family thrives.Imagine with me for a moment…
You wake up to the sound of birds and monkeys outside, after a night of uninterrupted, deep sleep. You lightly stroll to a beautiful yoga deck, surrounded by nature, where you’re guided through an energizing, yet deeply nourishing movement session. Later, you leisurely sip on coffee and enjoy a freshly prepared, healthy breakfast while you share stories with the new friends who you feel so close to in such a surprisingly short amount of time. There are no interruptions, no list of tasks weighing on you, nowhere to be. You feel truly seen, and more importantly, you see yourself. You feel calm, clear, grounded and alive again. And for the first time in a long time, you recognize your own authentic voice. This voice lovingly guides you toward a deeper connection with your body, your heart’s desires, your innate intuition and your life’s purpose. You feel reinvigorated on your path as a mother, and you can’t wait to return home to show your kids the real you.
What to Expect:
* Expect one full, luxurious week of being completely cared for.* Expect nourishing, freshly prepared meals to nourish your body. No meal planning or cooking!
* Expect to revitalize with yoga and somatic movement practices designed specifically for mothers
* Expect to connect with other moms in a loving and non-judgemental environment where you know you’re not alone in your struggles and victories
* Expect to recharge your batteries with seven deeply restful nights of sleep and guided experiences to regulate your nervous system
* Expect to be held by Mother Nature in the beauty of Costa Rica’s natural landscape
* Expect to return home refreshed, renewed and reinvigorated in your path as a woman and mother
mother nurture is about…
❋ The Time to Fill Your CupThrough a blend of revitalizing movement practices, curated experiences, open exploration, and time to rest, this retreat is designed to give you a balance of focus, fluidity, freedom & FUN.
❋ The Right SettingThere’s a reason some spaces drain us and others fill us. Costa Rica is the ideal setting to nurture your soul . The rich landscapes of jungle and ocean will bring you to life, while inviting your body to deeply exhale and relax.
❋ Having A Guide Who Gets ItFirst and foremost I am a mother. I experience the highs and lows of raising my three beautiful children. I’ve been in the depths of burnout, and I’ve also experienced the power of being held by a village. This is why I’m so passionate about Mother Nurture.
❋ The Supportive You DeserveYou don’t have to have it all figured out! This is a “come as you are” space, where you’ll be held, honored, loved & supported. There’s no judgement, filters or egos here.
This retreat is for you IF:
* You would do anything for your kids, but you’re also exhausted by the constant demands of motherhood.
* You’ve put your own needs on the back burner, and now you’re experiencing the physical, mental or spiritual effects of living on an empty tank.
* You feel isolated as a mom. You know it takes a village to raise children, but you don’t have that level of support.
*You know that with the right support, rest and self care, you could be the best version of yourself for your kids.
* Motherhood is the greatest gift in the world to you, but you feel like you’ve lost yourself since having kids, and you long to reconnect with yourself as a woman.
*You can’t take another superficial mom conversation at the park. You’re ready to call in a deeply supportive community of moms who actually get you.
*You want to invite more fun and play into your life.
*You crave a deep rest and reset.
*The sound of being fully taken care of for one full week makes you light up with excitement!

I believe that food is more than just nutrition. While all retreat meals are healthy and balanced, this is not a retreat where we’ll be cleansing or restricting in any way.
Because I believe food is more powerful than that. It’s a connection to culture, to history and to ancient wisdom. Breaking bread together is a special time to be savored and enjoyed- a time to tell stories, laugh, share and audibly Mmmm together. I believe that savoring the authentic foods of a region is a thread of connection to the hands who cooked it, the farmers who grew it and the ancestors of the land who held their recipes as sacred. Yes food is medicine! But more than just for our bodies, it’s medicine for the soul!
While in Costa Rica we’ll have the pleasure of savoring both traditional Costa Rican dishes and other creative culinary expressions that utilize Costa Rica’s vast menu of tropical fruits and local produce. A vegetarian breakfast, lunch & dinner will be served daily, and the retreat chef can accommodate many dietary restrictions and preferences. While the meals are vegetarian, we can arrange for meat options for a small up charge.
