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 mentor in health 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 6 years staying Costa Rica and building this program with her offerings combined with local connections to create this special synergy of holistic treatments and health-supportive lifestyle practices that provide results.
Karly had experienced many health challenges after hitting rock bottom from burnout in a former corporate career. She started Autoimmune Warrior to share the system she created to recover from symptoms of burnout like Chronic Fatigue, Insomnia, Skin Issues, Hormone Issues, Brain Fog, Anxiety, and Depression, Graves Disease and a number of other chronic conditions including, Mold Toxicity, Lymes Disease, Severe Food Allergies, and more.
Our programs and retreats make healing more simple, accessible, targeted and efficient so clients regain vitality in a much faster, more fulfilling way.

- 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.
The menu is always everyone's favorite part of the retreat especially because they can't believe how healthy it is and how good it makes them feel.
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.

- 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.
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.
