Pura Vida Wellbeing Retreat Women’s healing retreats in Costa Rica

31/07/2026

A few years ago, I was the woman who looked successful from the outside.

I had the degree.

The career.

The international life.

The independence.

And yet, I remember sitting alone and thinking:

“Why does my life not feel like my life?”

Nothing was technically wrong.

That was the hardest part.

I was simply disconnected from myself.

I kept searching for answers in productivity, achievements, and self-improvement, hoping the next book or podcast would finally make me feel whole.

What changed everything was not more information.

It was honesty.✨

Honesty about how exhausted I was.

Honesty about how numb I had become.

Honesty about the fact that I had spent years performing a version of myself that no longer felt true.

The journey back to myself was not glamorous.

It involved slowing down, feeling emotions I had avoided, learning to regulate my nervous system, listening to my body, and choosing alignment over approval again and again.

That is why I created Aligned With Luisa and Pura Vida Wellbeing Retreats 🌿

Not to teach perfection.

Not to sell a fantasy.

But to offer a space where women can feel seen, supported, and gently guided back to themselves.🧘‍♀️

If this post feels like it was written for you, I want you to know something:

✨ You are not too late.

✨ You are not too much.

✨ You are not broken.

You are simply being called back to yourself.

Comment “HOME” if you are ready to stop pretending and start listening to the life that is asking to be lived through you. 🤍

You are allowed to grieve the life you imagined. 🌈

The version of yourself who thought life would look different by now.

The expectations.
The invisible deadlines.
The career that looked perfect from the outside.
The relationships you stayed in because they made sense on paper.
The identity you built to be accepted.

👉🏼Grief doesn’t only happen after loss.

Sometimes it arrives when you realize you’ve outgrown the person you had to become to survive.

And that’s where healing begins.🦋

Not by trying to get your old self back…

But by creating a life that finally feels aligned with who you are today.

If this resonated with you, save it for the days you feel like you’re falling behind.

This is exactly why I created my community.
A space for people who are ready to let go of expectations and start living on their own terms.
If that sounds like you, DM me “HOME.” 🤍

What if healing begins the moment you allow yourself to pause? 🧘‍♀️🤍

When you give yourself the opportunity to truly feel, emotions begin to flow. Your muscles soften, your mind finds rest, and your nervous system starts to regulate.

Your blood pressure lowers. Your breath becomes deeper and more natural. Your body feels lighter, more connected to nature, and more connected to itself.

As the vibrations move through your body, they help release stagnant energy, ease tension, and create space for healing.

A space to simply be.

To connect with your intuition, with love, with God, with your spiritual guides, and with the wisdom already living within you.

You leave feeling lighter, calmer, freer, more connected, and deeply grateful. ✨💕

Momentos de conexión, relajación, pausa y sanación. 🤍

Cuando te das la oportunidad de sentir de verdad, las emociones comienzan a fluir. Tus músculos se relajan, tu mente descansa y tu sistema nervioso empieza a regularse.

Tu presión arterial disminuye. Tu respiración se vuelve más profunda y natural. Tu cuerpo se siente más ligero, más conectado con la naturaleza y consigo mismo.

A medida que las vibraciones recorren tu cuerpo, ayudan a liberar la energía estancada, aliviar tensiones y crear espacio para sanar.

Un espacio para simplemente ser.

Para conectar con tu intuición, con el amor, con Dios, con tus guías espirituales y con la sabiduría que ya habita dentro de ti.

Te vas sintiéndote más ligera, más tranquila, más libre, más conectada y profundamente agradecida. ✨💕

🧘‍♀️✨ International Yoga Day

Yoga came into my life as a physical practice, but over time it became so much more.

It taught me to listen to my body, to breathe through challenging moments, to be patient with myself, and to find peace even when life feels uncertain.

Yoga is not about touching your toes.
Yoga is about coming home to yourself.

It creates space to feel, heal, grow, and remember who you are when the noise fades away.

Today, I celebrate this beautiful practice that has supported me through so many changes, journeys, and new beginnings. 💕

What does yoga mean to you?

✨ Today, gift yourself five minutes to breathe deeply, move your body with love, and appreciate everything it does for you every single day.

Día Internacional del Yoga 🧘‍♀️✨

El yoga llegó a mi vida como una práctica física, pero con el tiempo se convirtió en mucho más.

Me enseñó a escuchar mi cuerpo, a respirar en medio del caos, a ser paciente conmigo misma y a encontrar calma incluso cuando la vida se siente incierta.

Yoga no es tocar tus pies.
Yoga es volver a ti.

Es crear espacio para sentir, sanar, crecer y recordar quién eres cuando el ruido se apaga.

Hoy celebro esta práctica que me ha acompañado en tantos cambios, viajes y nuevos comienzos. 💕

¿Qué ha significado el yoga para ti?

✨ Hoy regálate 5 minutos para respirar profundamente, estirarte con amor y agradecer todo lo que tu cuerpo hace por ti cada día.

🦋There is a place where the jungle holds you.
🌈Where the earth beneath your feet remembers what your body has forgotten.
🧘‍♀️Where you stop doing and start being again.

👉🏼For 7 days in Costa Rica, .with.sarahwhitney and I will lead you through practices that don’t just calm the mind, they awaken your soul.

You’ve spent months, maybe years, feeling like something isn’t right.

Like you’re disconnected from your own life.

You keep telling yourself it’s the job.
The relationship.
The city.
The routine.

So you change things.
You move.
You start over.
You set new goals.

But somehow, that feeling follows you everywhere.

Because deep down, you know…

It’s not your circumstances.

🦋 It’s the version of yourself you’ve outgrown.

**Nobody talks about this part.**

The confusion.
The emptiness.
The exhaustion of questioning everything.
The loneliness of realizing that the life that once made sense no longer fits.

They tell you awakening is about finding the light.

They rarely tell you it’s also about watching old identities fall apart.

About losing certainty.

About letting go of people, beliefs, and versions of yourself that can no longer come with you.

And for a while, it can feel like you’re standing between two worlds.

No longer who you were.

Not yet who you’re becoming.

If you’re in that space right now, this is your reminder:

**You’re not falling apart.**

You’re being invited into something deeper.

That’s exactly why we created this retreat. 🦋

A space for women who are ready to pause the noise of everyday life and reconnect with themselves.

7 days immersed in the nature of Costa Rica.

Surrounded by women walking a similar path.

Through movement, mindfulness, embodiment practices, meaningful conversations, healing rituals, nature, adventure, and community.

A place where you don’t have to have all the answers.

A place where you can simply be.

And if your mind is already saying,

“Maybe next time.”

“Maybe when life calms down.”

“Maybe when I’m more ready.”

Ask yourself:

How long have you been saying that?

Because the moment your life begins to change isn’t when everything is perfectly aligned.

It’s when you decide you’re worth choosing.

Maybe this is the sign you’ve been waiting for. ✨

POV: You stopped waiting for “someday” and came to Costa Rica to heal 🌿✨

Our location is hidden between the jungles and overlooks Costa Rica’s tallest waterfall, creating a sanctuary where nature, rest, and transformation meet.

Wake up to the sounds of the jungle, breathe in fresh mountain air, nourish your body with organic farm-to-table meals, and allow yourself to slow down surrounded by wild beauty.

Here, luxury feels grounding.

Connection feels natural.

Healing feels safe. 🦋

A space to disconnect from the noise and reconnect with your soul, your body, and the present moment.
Your “someday” was never far away. It was waiting for you here. 🌴🧘‍♀️

🌈 Send this to the friend you’d bring to a healing retreat.

For a long time, I didn’t even realize I was living in survival mode.

From the outside, my life looked “fine.”
I kept going. I functioned. I smiled. I did what I was supposed to do.

But inside, I was anxious, disconnected, constantly afraid.
Afraid of change.
Afraid of being fully myself.
Afraid even of simple things that once felt natural.

I had become so disconnected from my inner world, my spirituality, my peace, that I didn’t even know who I was anymore.

And that’s the scary part about survival mode:
you can live in it for years without noticing.
Until one day your body, your mind, and your soul start asking for something different. 🌿

Not more achievement.
Not more distractions.
Not another mask.

Just truth.
Connection.
Peace.
Freedom.

Healing for me wasn’t becoming a new person.
It was slowly coming back home to myself. 🦋✨

Some women don’t need another vacation.
They need a reset so deep their soul can finally exhale. 🌿

Not the kind sold in airport brochures.
The kind where you wake up surrounded by jungle sounds instead of notifications.
Where conversations go deeper than “what do you do?”
Where your nervous system softens.
Where you remember who you are outside of survival mode. 🧘‍♀️

This is for the women who know there’s more to life than checking boxes and getting through the week.
The women ready to open themselves to change, growth, love, and a different way of living.🌈

For the women who:

✨ feel like something is missing
✨ are burned out or uninspired at work
✨ feel lost and need a pause
✨ love nature
✨ want to experience the beauty of Costa Rica
✨ are craving deeper connections, authenticity, and inspiration

Maybe you don’t need to “find yourself.”
Maybe you just need space to hear yourself again. 🌺
