Private Retreats for Wellness

While we have hosted Practitioner and Workshop retreats here before, we just concluded our first personal wellness retreat for a client. One of the basic principles behind energetic kinesiology is that the body heals itself when stressors are removed. The ability to step out of your normal circumstances and environment and enter into a space surrounded by nature, where nothing is asked of your body other than to rest and recharge, can be so powerful.

What does a retreat like this entail?

1) Energetic kinesiology sessions every day. Some days will also include European Lymphatic Drainage massage for cleansing and detoxification, or Swedish massage style bodywork depending on the needs of the individual.

2) Meals specifically prepared for your needs. We use muscle response testing to determine the best foods for what your body needs right now (and also what to avoid) and then serve delicious healthy meals and snacks with this in mind. On our little farm we have our own free range eggs and raw goat milk and well as fruit, vegetables, cacao, and herbs growing onsite.

3) A calm environment surrounded by nature. Our property is in a quiet village and borders on a biological corridor, meaning that the view is of secondary rainforest and often includes animals such as howler monkeys, sloths, agouti, and coatis, and birds like toucans, mot mots, and green parrots. Fall asleep to the sounds of the river and swim in the waterfall a quick walk from our house.

4) Costa Rica adventures! We can arrange for you to go dolphin and whale watching, explore one of the national parks, visit stunning waterfalls, take a dance class, visit local markets, relax on the beach…

I am excited about the possibilities of retreats that change lives. Reach out if you have questions!

Re: Private healing retreat with Alexis Costello

Alexis, I just want to thank you again for facilitating such an amazing personal healing retreat for me at your home in Costa Ria. With kinesiology sessions daily and two lymphatic massages I felt like a different person when I left. The emotional work we did made me feel clearer. The suggestions you made for affirmations, dietary changes, emotional release exercises and lifestyle changes have been taken to heart and I am practicing them daily.

The strict diet of local, organic food was delicious and my body thanks you for helping it to feel “clean!!!

Your family was kind and welcoming. I truly enjoyed spending time with the boys!!! My room was clean and comfortable. The outdoor shower overlooking the rainforest was definitely a hit!!!

And then there were the adventures….. markets, dolphins, whales, monkeys, sloths, birds, rainforest, waterfall beaches, sunsets!!!!! Oh, and Spanish lessons!!!

Your care and kindness will be remembered forever.

Thank you!!!! ~ DF, Alberta, Canada
