Here is What She Said
"I’ve always wanted to visit Costa Rica, so when Laura said she was planning a retreat I was all in!
The experience was a wonderful mix of yoga, spa day relaxation, outdoor adventuring, spiritual enrichment, and building community with other women. Laura was a great planner and facilitator. I highly recommend the experience and look forward to future experiences like this.
Some of my highlights were the waterfall hike and the spectacular jungle views from the soaking tub at the day spa!"
- Lisa Studier, Washington
"The sense of community and support was incredible. I realized that I put myself last more than I knew and felt like it was easy to be me here." - S.D.L
"I never wanted to leave. I fell in love with the Pura Vida culture and am thankful for how it has shaped me since" - A.M.
"Grateful doesn't even begin to describe how I feel. I didn't know that I was missing community. - M.
"I recently had the opportunity to join Laura in Costa Rica for her restore and recharge retreat.
Laura was an amazing host and had everyday planned out with a balance of adventure and rejuvenation.
I would definitely book another retreat with her in the future. Her energy is infectious."
​
-Melissa, San Diego
Costa Rica was my first time traveling without my family, and I was a bit apprehensive.
The groups supportive energy immediately put me at ease. Throughout the retreat, I surprised myself by taking on new challenges, both physically and mentally. From tubing in turquoise waters to engaging in meaningful conversations, I discovered strengths I didn't know I had. It was a transformative experience that left me feeling empowered."
