About this trip

A journey of personal discovery, liberation and expansion.


The Align and Expand retreat offers more than a respite in a beautiful, exotic place–it’s your opportunity to take a step back to see things more clearly, reconnect with your potential and innate power and reset, so that you may create the life that your soul craves.


“Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world.” Hal Elrod


If you feel stuck and frustrated that you’re not where you want to be, if your health is suffering or your relationships are lackluster, or if you generally look at your life and think “WTF?”, join Margy as she guides you in the process of creating your vision board life, in real life.


Anything and everything is available to you. You just need to get really clear on your beliefs and patterns and make incremental changes to become the kind of person who would have the life you desire. 


Margy implements the methodologies she’s learned through attending trainings, working with coaches and taking courses to help you gain clarity around the beliefs you hold and how they’re affecting your current situation. As she likes to say “your beliefs about what’s possible for you and about what you deserve create your current situation”. 


“Your level of success will rarely exceed your level of personal development, because success is something you attract by the person you become.” Jim Rohn


The promise is not that you’ll return home and your perfect partner will be waiting on your doorstep and you’ll have an extra six-figures magically sitting in your bank account. What the promise is, is that you’ll have started the process of stepping into the version of yourself you need to be to create and invite in the things you want. 


During our week together, you’ll practice next level self-care and luxuriate like you deserve it (because you do!).

You’ll also get clear on what needs to change for you to bring forth the life you crave.


By slowing down, you’ll have the space to turn inward and connect with your authentic self and take inventory of where you’re out of alignment. Margy will help you uncover the hidden (or highlight the not-so hidden) fears and beliefs that have kept you settling, and set you up to step into integrity by letting go of the stuff that’s out of alignment.


Each day will provide a morning ritual (with light breathwork, intention setting, and gratitude practices), 2 yoga classes, healthy meals, individual down time and access to the beach, pool and amenities that support your well being. Four of the days will include workshops to support you in becoming the person you need to be to create the life you desire. 


You’ll leave the retreat with clarity around who you really are, what you truly want, and a plan to inch toward where you want to be. You’ll feel clear, lighter, energized, excited, supported, and like the world is actually your oyster (because it is).


After the retreat, you’ll have access to an accountability group and you’ll receive two 1:1 calls with Margy for extra support.

Playa Grande is a beautiful, uncrowded beach community that lies just north of Tamarindo along the Pacific coast of Northern Costa Rica. It has a great laid-back vibe and retains the " off the beaten path" feel that Room to Roam seeks.

This trip was a great experience, accommodations were fantastic and restaurant was very accommodating and great food. Everything was well organized and we received top notch services! Thanks Kate!

Playa Grande is such a cute little surf town! Our hotel was comfortable, the food in the restaurant was good, the people were friendly and helpful, the grounds were beautiful, and it was a good value for the investment. I especially loved the short path to the beach. Kate at We Travel coordianted everything so well and Javi was our knowledgable, personal guide on every excursion. Chrissy was our patient, calming, excellent yoga and meditaion instructor. They were all amazing! I had a surfing lesson with Jossie, who had the patience of a saint. It was so much fun! I would travel with this group again in a second.

I can’t say enough about my wonderful experience with Kate, Ashley, Lorenzo and the whole staff at Room to Roam! This trip was truly magical. I was a little nervous to travel for the first time since COVID. Kate took such great care ushering me in to Nicaragua. I was very stressed at home prior to leaving and Kate kept taking things off my plate as I prepared to leave. Upon arrival we were greeted so warmly by the staff. I was instantly relaxed. Marco’s truly does make the BEST passion fruit margarita on the planet! My intention was surf and boy did I fall back in love with surfing, but I am really walking away with so much more- a complete reboot for my body, mind and soul! I’ll be back again soon! PS the food is out of the this world! Every single meal…. Mouth watering!
