This is a REAL retreat. For entrepreneurial women who work hard and bust their asses with long nights and late hours and have a hard time turning it OFF. Do you work so hard that you find yourself repeatedly getting sick? Give your immune system a rest.
The Exhale Retreat includes healthy vegan meals prepared onsite by our chef. There will be facilitators and coordinators, including Alison, your host, to ensure that your stay is one of peace, relaxation, and self-care.
The venue for Exhale was carefully chosen. Amansala (Sanskrit: “peace waters”), located in Tulum on the Caribbean coastline of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, has four beautiful room options: Private Beachfront, Private Garden View, Shared Beachfront and Shared Garden View. This resort has an established reputation for offering incredible retreats that provide ample time for pampering and relaxation, leaving you feeling calm and tranquil throughout your stay.
Come to Exhale to find total peace and tranquility. Connect to the still, calm place inside you that centers you, grounds you, and relaxes you. We’re here to guide and support you on the path of relaxation, and we’ll walk it together to a destination of peace and contentment.
Exhale wouldn't have been possible without Christel, an enthusiastic supporter of Abambyh Business Coaching who has attended several of our retreats.
Christel Gutierrez is a wife, a mother, and a businesswoman from Cali, Colombia. In 2023 she founded Global Planning Enterprise to fulfill one of her most passionate interests: helping women to become the best version of themselves. Global Planning Enterprise's work inspires women to recognize themselves as the divine beings they truly are, to treat themselves with kindness, and to have confidence in their potential to change the world as they change themselves.
We are so grateful, not just for Christel's contribution to our vision of Exhale, but for the honor of knowing this incredible, dynamic woman!
