I decided to book this retreat at the very last minute, and they say the best decisions are often the ones made on a whim. This trip was everything I didn't know I needed. It was an incredible experience filled with new friendships, exciting adventures, and the opportunity to reconnect with myself. Every moment felt meaningful, and I left feeling refreshed, inspired, and grateful. Gizelle is an amazing host. She was attentive to everything we needed, always had encouraging words to share, and never hesitated to jump into every adventure alongside us. Her warmth and genuine care made the experience even more special. From the beautiful location and welcoming staff to the delicious food and the wonderful people who attended the retreat, everything exceeded my expectations. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect first retreat experience. This definitely won't be my last—I'm already looking forward to the next one!

Had the best time connecting with some amazing women. Was so nervous to do this trip with people I didn’t know but I’m so glad I did, everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Gizelle did an amazing job setting up a great location and fun activities. I can’t wait for the next one! Highly highly recommend stepping out of your comfort zone and doing the trip!

As someone who had never traveled solo before, I was honestly a little nervous about this trip. I had only met our organizer, Gizelle, once at a previous event, so stepping outside of my comfort zone felt like a big leap of faith. Looking back now, I can confidently say it was one of the best and most empowering decisions I've ever made. From the moment we arrived, everything was organized seamlessly. Airport transportation was smooth, the itinerary was thoughtfully planned, and even the optional add-ons were coordinated effortlessly. Every detail reflected the care and intentionality that went into creating this experience. The food was absolutely exceptional, and each day was filled with unforgettable adventures. From hiking breathtaking trails and exploring the local market to riding UTVs through the jungle and chasing waterfalls, every activity was exciting and perfectly balanced with opportunities to relax and connect at the end of every night. One thing that meant a great deal to me was how included I felt throughout the entire retreat. As the oldest member of the group, I never once felt overlooked or left behind. Instead, I felt valued, encouraged, and genuinely connected. We experienced everything together as a group, and the friendships and bonds that formed were truly remarkable. This retreat exceeded every expectation I had. It wasn't just a vacation—it was an experience filled with personal reflection, meaningful conversations, laughter, adventure, and memories that I will cherish for years to come. I am incredibly grateful to Gizelle for creating such a welcoming, well-organized, and inspiring experience. If you're considering taking one of her retreats, especially if you're traveling solo or feeling uncertain, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take the leap. You may arrive as strangers, but you'll leave with unforgettable memories, lasting friendships, and a renewed sense of confidence. I know I certainly did.

The Rooted in Resilience Retreat Costa Rica was an incredible experience from start to finish. Gizelle planned every detail so thoughtfully that all we had to do was show up for breakfast each morning and enjoy the day. It was completely stress free. We explored local the market, relaxed on the beach, hiked to a breathtaking waterfall, and rode ATVs through the jungle. Every experience felt intentional and perfectly organized. What made the retreat truly unforgettable, though, were the connections. Spending time with such an inspiring group of women, sharing conversations, laughter, and genuine moments of connection, was something I didn't know I needed. I came home with incredible memories and my heart full.

Costa Rica was even more than I ever envisioned. 🤍 I went into this trip with an open heart and mind, hoping to reconnect with wellness and myself, and thanks to Gizelle, that became a reality. Every detail was so thoughtfully planned, making it easy to simply be present and enjoy the experience. The group of girls was an absolute joy, we laughed until our jaws and bellies hurt, and those memories will stay with me forever. I also couldn’t have imagined a more perfect location: tucked away in the beautiful mountains of Costa Rica while still being just minutes from the beach. It truly was the best of both worlds, and my heart left feeling so full. ✨🌿
