WELCOME
I know what it means to feel exhausted and trapped by chronic pain—and I also know that profound, lasting recoveryis possible. My own journey into somatic healing began as a path to overcoming my own health challenges, which is why I am
so deeply passionate about
this work.
I am co-hosting a chronic pain recovery retreat, and I want to invite you to experience a new path forward.

My Role
in Your Recovery
Blending my background as a clinical nurse with my advanced training in restorative and somatic yoga, my focus during our time together is on the physical and energetic experience. Because I know what it feels like to be stuck in that pain cycle, I am here to help you bridge the gap between understanding your pain intellectually and actually feeling safe in your physical body again.
To actively down-regulate your nervous system, I will guide you through targeted somatic practices, including:
- Yoga Nidra:
The centerpiece of our somatic work. This practice of "yogic sleep" facilitates deep, conscious relaxation, allowing your nervous system to step out of "fight or flight" and into profound neurological rest. - Intentional Breathwork:
Practical, accessible breathing techniques designed to signal immediate safety to your brain and give you a tool to self-soothe in moments of heightened physical or emotional stress. - Safe Functional Movement:
Gentle movement designed to help you rebuild trust in your physical body without triggering the brain's danger alarm.
The Environment
Set on the pristine, secluded shores of Mahahual, Mexico, we provide a sanctuary where you can disconnect from the noise of daily life to reconnect with your body. Everything here is designed to remove stress so you can focus entirely on the mind-body connection.
Healing in Community
Living with chronic pain can be an incredibly isolating and lonely experience.To ensure a deeply safe and personalized environment, our retreats are intentionally kept to an intimate group of just 8 participants.
This small-group setting allows for individualized attention from your hosts while fostering a profound sense of shared understanding.
You will find that the validation, support, and shared experiences of the group are powerful tools in reminding your brain that you are safe and not alone.
Nourishing Simplicity
We provide a beautiful, supportive environment with nourishing, delicious meals that simply allow you to exist comfortably. Our goal is to empower you to move from a life of restriction to one of vivid possibility and joy, supported by the rhythm of the ocean, the strength of your community, and the neuroscience of healing.
