Since your hosts have lived in the area for several years, you will get a taste of the local secrets.

Some favorites are the local waterfalls and natural swimming pools, fishing, horseback riding, an island and snorkeling boating experience, hikes, tide pools, and plenty of beaches. restaurants, and other entertainment.  


Karly, your host, 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. 


She 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.  She is also excited to offer a powerful and unique therapy that changed her life, the Neuro-Biochemistry Balancing Technique® (NBBT). 


NBBT is designed to help the body heal itself by reprogramming your neurological pathways and biochemistry. Clients experience improved nutrient absorption, allergy elimination, improved detox pathways,  and a more regulated and calmed nervous system and immune system which is foundational for the body's self-healing mechanisms ability to reduce or eliminate symptoms.


Our programs and retreats make healing more simple, accessible, targeted and efficient so clients regain vitality in a much faster, more fulfilling way.
