The retreat was really wonderful. I was able to overcome the main symptom of my autoimmune illness and spend a very relaxing, healing week with lovely people. Dr. Kim is a passionate and capable healer. Karly has a wealth of knowledge to share and Maggie added a bit of fun.

This was truly the best vacation I could ever give myself…nourishing my mind, body and soul throughout! I learned a ton and enjoyed every minute. This retreat has further inspired me on my pursuit down the health and wellness path. Karly’s experience and passion brings relevance and comprehensiveness to this program and Dr. Kim’s wealth of knowledge and passion for healing make this experience unlike any I have ever experienced. Magdalena and Suzie rounded out the experience for all guests with their contributions and support. The location is luxurious and relaxing as well as therapeutic. I can’t say enough about this retreat and my experience…highly recommended!!

I used to struggle with lifelong allergies, as well as feeling present and stress management. But after coming to the retreat and experiencing the treatments, lifestyle and people I feel educated and empowered to take better care of my health and happiness. I carved out the time and invested in my health for the first time and it’s paid off tenfold. I would recommend this retreat to anyone who is burnout or experiencing health problems because Costa Rica is a place to find real long-term solutions!

My experience with Autoimmune Warrior wellness retreat was nothing short of amazing. Every meal is hand chosen and approved by Karly who has spent many years designing and planning a highly anti-inflammatory, nutritious, low allergen meal plan. As a Naturopathic physician, I know a thing or two about such meals :) and often wish I could send patients a curated meal delivery service as balanced as Karly helps facilitate on this trip! Staff are attentive to your needs but provide ample time and space for you to heal in a secluded space, submersed in nature. Karly and I even had an impromptu dance party one morning and it had been a while since I felt so free! I left Costa Rica feeling better than I had in months and I am so grateful to Karly, Dr. Kim, Suzy -our amazing chef, and all the staff at Autoimmune Warrior!

I met Karly about a year ago in Costa Rica while traveling. Throughout the past year, we have kept in touch and she has been helping me in many aspects of my health by providing me with information, support and natural alternatives and much more to help heal my gut and prevent autoimmunity. Although I haven't attended a retreat, Karly has made a huge impact on my life and I don't think my health would be where it is now without her. I truly believe I met Karly for a reason and imagine her retreats will blow people away!

I attended a personal retreat with Karly for 2 months at her property in Costa Rica. It was a great experience. I liked her high energy, creative way of getting to the root of issues, and knowledge about nutrition. She also has a lot of local knowledge of the San Jose area for healthy places to eat and buy food. By being her "shadow" and participating, I learned how to grocery shop, eat healthy at restaurants, cook, and keep up good daily habits. She also had good referrals for doctors and other therapists that were helpful. I saw Dr. Kim consistently for treatment. I am a complex case and for the first time in over 25 years, I was given a diagnosis and some hope. Dr. Kim and Karly were a good team. I left looking and feeling much more healthy, 20 lbs lighter, had a lot more energy and a desire to keep exercising and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
