Cultivate Balance Retreats are trauma-informed, person-centered, and strengths-based. They are strategically designed to provide a safe space to focus on emotional well-being, mindfulness, and reduce fatigue. Retreats with Cultivate Balance are different as they provide specific components of psychoeducation, experienced-based healing, psychological coaching, and community building.
This retreat was designed to support your mind, body, & soul. Our 2022 retreat included meditation, mindfulness, intention setting, insightful cultivating workshops & group sessions.
There were opportunities for hiking, beachcombing on beautiful Tamarindo beach, lots of built-in downtime for relaxing & restoring in the pool, reading, cultivating new friendships, and adventure. As soon as our guests arrived, we found a sense of calmness, tranquility, happiness, and wellbeing.
Every woman deserves the space & time to retreat and the support to cultivate balance!
"This is the second retreat I've attended with Amanda, and it was just as impactful as the first. It's a time of rest and relaxation, adventures, personal development, and growth. She always pays attention to all the details and brings special touches. Our workshops brought insight into confidence building and intention setting. I was able to reevaluate my hopes and dreams and set new goals for the future, all while having fun in the sun! I 100% recommend joining her next time!"

"Thank you, Amanda and Retreat Ladies. This has been one of, if not the greatest experiences in my life. Not only the life skills but the friendships I received were deeply nourishing and powerful. It helped me to physically and emotionally put all of the puzzle pieces together. It was a safe environment to be vulnerable to bond, laugh, cry, and relate to one another".

"I was able to break out of my comfort zone, and be courageous and brave. I am becoming free to simply be my true and authentic self. Growth and resilience are showing up more profoundly in me. I enjoy my stay every time and always learn something new about myself. I am really seeing myself with new clarity".

"I just experienced another amazing Women's Wellness Retreat in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. The villa was beautiful, the food was absolutely delicious, and the connections I made with the other participants were very significant in the experience. The workshops were very instructive and provided awareness that I can apply in my life outside the retreat. I would highly recommend this experience and am so thankful for the opportunity to have been able to return for my second Cultivate Balance Women's Retreat".
