We also host private retreats for individuals and small groups.

We believe you have much more power in your healing process than you are led to believe. 

This retreat is designed to provide root cause-focused, immune system-regulating therapies, and tools to empower you and strengthen your body's natural healing mechanisms. 

You will love the beautiful location in the heart of one of the five regions in the world identified as a Blue Zone.   People with health issues come to Costa Rica and often stay for extended periods of time because they feel so good! Karly, your self-healing guide and retreat organizer is one of them. 

Our visiting Naturopathic Doctor uses his unique Neuro-Biochemistry Balancing Technique® (NBBT) to treat people who come from all over the world with autoimmune and other complex chronic illnesses.  His technique is designed to help the body heal itself by reprogramming your neurological pathways and biochemistry. Clients experience a regulated and calmed immune system which reduces or eliminates symptoms and can often result in remission.  

Karly has spent 5 years staying Costa Rica and building local connections to organize this special synergy of holistic treatments and health-supportive lifestyle practices that provide results. 

During this time Karly also started Autoimmune Warrior to share the answers she found after recovering from Graves Disease and a number of other chronic conditions including, Mold Toxicity, Lymes Disease, Severe Food Allergies, Electromagnetic Field Sensitivity, Mercury Toxicity, complications from brain surgery to remove a pituitary adenoma including Chronic Fatigue, Hormone Imbalances, and Infertility, and complications from a copper IUD including Chronic Tachycardia and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.  

She has experienced it all and deeply understands what you are going through.

- Struggle with health issues, especially Autoimmune Diseases (Lupus, Crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto's, Graves, Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes),

- Ready to take action.

- Newly diagnosed and unsure of what to do next. 

- Losing vitality on the conventional path. 

- Experiencing a plateau on the holistic path. 

- Sensitive to chemicals and/or many foods.  We have taken all of the necessary precautions to avoid chemical exposure and will accommodate your food sensitivities. 

- Support their loved one through their journey to recovery. 

- Community - meet others who "get you" and build strength together. 

- Resolved food sensitivities and saying goodbye to crazy diets  We are not meant to live on the AIP diet or any other highly restrictive diets, but it is a great start to feeling better while the underlying problem is resolved.  

- Identify and resolve root causes preventing you from making progress - is there something in your environment, food, thought process, emotional body, or lifestyle that is triggering an unwanted immune response?

- Know how to maintain a healthy lifestyle and still manage your busy life - there are many tips and tricks, but getting in the habit of being creative and finding a way can work in almost any situation. 

- Immune System Regulation - your immune system is draining your energy by going after false antigens, including your own body. When it is calmed, strengthened, and re-directed to actual invaders your body can build strength again and recover. 

Our highly flexible, sensitivity-savvy kitchen offers absolutely delicious, carefully sourced, organically grown, gluten-free, sugar-free, and dairy-free meals.  The meals are highly alkaline, Pesco-Vegan.  It is suggested to adopt this diet before attending a retreat. 

Just a 2-minute walk to the ocean, a 5-bedroom luxury home located in popular and secure Hacienda Pinilla with three miles of unspoiled Guanacaste Province and the Nicoya Peninsula coastline, pristine beaches, and untouched natural landscapes. It is perfectly sized and situated for this intimate and healing gathering.  We have gone the extra mile to ensure the venue is safe from harsh chemicals in and around the property. 

- Full access to the Hacienda Pinilla Beach Club amenities including a gym, and medical center 5 minutes away. Beach cruisers are provided.

- Many outdoor chill areas to enjoy the sounds of nature and even see monkeys. 

- 5 mins drive from beautiful Play Langosta and Playa Avellanas (known as "Little Hawaii to the surf community).

- 1 hr 40 mins drive from Liberia Airport.

 - 25 mins drive from a popular tourist beach town, Tamarindo, which offers many shops, restaurants, and activities.  Tamarindo also has a growing ex-pat community and offers quality bilingual emergency clinics. 

This retreat purposely does not include many excursions off site because of the main focus on healing therapies. You will get the most from these therapies when you are taking the time to relax and be still.  Also, the body will be going through changes and detoxification, so it safer to save off-site activities later in the retreat when you know how you are responding. There is plenty to do within biking distance and we provide beach cruisers to get to the other beaches, the beach club, pool, gym, and bike trails.  

Please do not expect an easy fix. We will be doing hard work at times and there may be some discomfort through the healing process, especially if you are just starting the holistic path. 

Expect to experience significant improvements that will be supported by sticking to the clean diet and healthy living suggestions throughout the retreat and upon returning home. If you have been on the holistic path for a year or two or more, this may be the missing part of your journey, but there are no guarantees.  Karly was an extremely complicated case and found relief and remission after 8 years and a lot of funds spent trying different doctors, therapies, supplements, etc.  She is very excited to share what felt like a miracle with others.
