Welcome to Paradise… Welcome Home!

About

I am a fully qualified Holistic Health Therapist and intuitive body-worker offering private 1:1 and small group Holistic Wellness & Yoga Retreats that will leave lasting health results, happiness and will help to restore balance to your mind, body and soul. 

Our retreats are private Holistic retreats, meaning we do not focus on treating one area of the body or one specific practice, instead we look at helping and healing the entire body as a whole, mind, Body and Soul.

We combine the health benefits of yoga & holistic therapies with clean organic plant-based foods, fresh air in the mountains of the Nicoya Peninsula (one of the 5 blue zones of the world), sunshine and being in and re-connecting to nature.

This allows us to give the body the best possible conditions to start its’ own natural healing process, in the meantime treating many other ailments and conditions.

Why I Started Elevate Pure Retreats

I was born and raised in the UK, running at a pace that left no room to breathe. I was working & raising children, doing everything I thought I was supposed to do, and eventually my body and mind told me I couldn’t keep going. I burned out.

Looking back, I can see how much of that lifestyle wore me down – the constant rush, the lack of time outdoors, the feeling of never being able to stop. I was tired in a way that sleep couldn’t fix.

Yoga was the first thing that gave me a way back. It taught me to listen to my body, to slow down, and to trust what I felt. The more I practised, the more I re-connected with myself and with source, and I wanted to help people in a deeper way, so I retrained as a holistic therapist. I’ve always been naturally intuitive and empathic, and in this work I found a way to use those gifts to help others feel calmer, lighter, and more at ease.

The first time I came to Costa Rica in 2016, everything felt different. The food was fresher, with easy access to organic fruit and vegetables, the air was cleaner, my body started to heal… People live at a slower rhythm here, and the Nicoya Peninsula, one of the world’s five Blue Zones, is known for long, active lives built on purpose, simple local food, natural movement, and close community. I felt a deep spiritual connection to this place, and my own practice grew in ways I hadn’t expected.

I realised I could offer others what I had needed so badly: quiet, nature, nourishing food, and care that’s shaped around you. So I created Elevate Pure Retreats. We host private 1:1 retreats with one or two guests at a time in our tiny homes high in the mountains. You can choose yoga, holistic therapies (aromatherapy, reflexology, and massage), meditation, or all three. There’s no group schedule, and you can move at your own pace.

I know what it feels like to be exhausted and to give to everyone but yourself. My hope is that you’ll leave here feeling more rested, more connected, and a little more like yourself.
