One-to-One Retreat in Costa Rica

Come sweaty, moody, overwhelmed, or a little lost.
Leave grounded, glowing, and fully YOU.

Six days and five nights designed just for you…

You arrive in Costa Rica, greeted by warm tropical air and the sound of palm leaves dancing in the breeze. The moment you step off the plane, you are welcomed with a big smile and open arms. From that point on, you do not have to plan, organise, or think about a single thing. It is all taken care of.
You are officially off duty.

As you are driven through the lush jungle, something inside you begins to exhale, like your body already knows it is safe to let go.

You step into your own private sanctuary. No schedules. No obligations. No one needing anything from you. Just stillness, nature, and space to breathe again.
The scent of flowers. The gentle stream. The hum of the jungle.
It is all for you.

Each morning starts slowly. No alarm clocks here. Maybe you stretch on the deck, journal with a cup of herbal tea, or take a barefoot walk under the trees. We move gently and intentionally in ways that feel good for your changing body. Strong but soft. Empowered, not punished.

You will be supported in nourishing sessions designed to help you feel like yourself again, maybe for the first time in a long while. Sound healing to calm your nervous system. Cacao ceremonies to open your heart. Breathwork to release what has been buried. And space, so much beautiful space to just be.

We will laugh. Maybe cry. Maybe dance. Maybe float in the ocean.
This is your time to reset, and no two days are the same because this retreat is created entirely around YOU.

Need more rest? Perfect.
Want to dive into body confidence work? I have got you.
Feel like watching the sunset with your journal and a green smoothie? Let us do it.

You will be nourished in body and soul. You will also have the option to gently support weight loss if that is something you desire, but without pressure. No counting. No weighing. Just loving your body back to balance.

By the end, you will not just feel rested, you will feel reconnected.
With your body.
With your purpose.
With your joy.

You will go home with an emotional toolbox to support you long after the jungle, and a deep sense that something inside you has shifted.

Because it has.

This is more than a retreat.
It is a return to yourself.
And I will be right here, walking beside you every step of the way.

Let’s Be Real (The Fun Bit )

Let’s be honest, this is not just a retreat.
It is a jungle powered menopause reset designed entirely around YOU.

Picture this. You in your own private jungle haven in Costa Rica, sipping a coconut while howler monkeys sing in the distance, and your biggest decision of the day is beach walk or hammock nap.

This is one to one.
No big groups.
No awkward circles of strangers.
Just you and me, Ru-tee, your personal guide, cheerleader, and coach with over 40 years in the health and wellness world and zero tolerance for boring, cookie cutter retreats.

And do not worry, it is not all deep, serious soul work, although we will absolutely do that too if that is what you fancy. This retreat is also about fun, joy, and finding your spark again.

Think movement that feels good, barefoot beach walks, sound healing under the stars, and plenty of giggles along the way.

You will leave with:
A full body sigh of relief
A fabulous emotional toolbox to handle the ups, downs, and “seriously” moments of menopause
More energy, less stress, and if that is your goal, gentle weight loss support without guilt, shame, or counting anything
A fresh connection to your body, not the one you had at 25, but the strong, wise, beautiful one you have right now
A deeper, real self love that actually sticks, not just mirror affirmations

And did I mention it is bespoke? Fully personalised.
Want more beach time? Done.
Need a nap instead of a workshop? Absolutely.
Prefer dancing over journalling? Let’s turn up the music.

This retreat is about feeling alive again. Reconnecting with YOU.
And doing it all in the middle of the jungle with someone who truly gets it.

Let’s reset, laugh, cry, move, heal, and have some serious fun doing it.

Travel & Arrival Info

To make your journey smooth and spacious, please plan to arrive at San José International Airport (SJO) the day before your retreat begins. We recommend staying overnight near the airport.

On the morning of your retreat, you will take a short domestic flight to Quepos Airport (XQP). You will be warmly welcomed there and driven straight to your private jungle retreat.

From that moment on, you do not need to think about a thing. Everything is taken care of.

What You Should Know

From the moment you are picked up at Quepos Airport, you will be fully looked after. No stress, no planning, and no to do lists.

This is a one to one retreat, so all sessions and activities are optional and gently adjusted to meet your energy, needs, and nervous system each day.

You will have plenty of free time to rest, reflect, swim, walk, journal, or simply enjoy the peaceful jungle stillness.

If your goals include weight loss, strength building, hormone balance, or detoxing, we can gently weave that in without restriction or pressure.

Every moment is designed to support your transformation, nervous system, and self love journey.

Food Details

All meals are lovingly prepared using fresh, local, seasonal ingredients to nourish your body, support hormone balance, and help you feel your absolute best.

You will enjoy three delicious meals per day:
A light but energising breakfast
A wholesome, satisfying lunch
A delicious dinner prepared by our personal chef or enjoyed at one of our favourite local restaurants

Snacks, herbal teas, and fresh fruit are available throughout the day.

Some meals can also be packed for you to enjoy at the beach, by a waterfall, or while exploring, because this retreat is all about ease and freedom.

If your intention includes weight loss, your meals can be tailored to follow a supportive Paleo style approach that is simple, clean, nourishing, and satisfying without feeling restricted.

This is not about dieting or rules.
It is about feeling good in your body again, one delicious bite at a time.
