RETURNING IN...
A Sacred Return
A Radical Reclamation of JOY
Dominical, Costa Rica
November 28 – Dec 4, 2025
For the woman who does it all...
You’ve carried careers, families, friendships, expectations, and dreams. You hold space for everyone.
You show up even when you're on empty.
You check the boxes.
You make the calls. You keep the house running.
And somewhere along the way, you forgot what it’s like to be held. To be nurtured. To be free.
This is your invitation.
To come home to yourself.
To rest your bones on sacred soil.
To exhale the weight you’ve been holding—for years, maybe decades.
This is your invitation.
To pause.
To step out of the hustle and into deep healing.
To return to your body, your breath, your essence.
This is your sacred return. A radical reclamation of joy.
This is not just another meditation—it is an invitation to reconnect with yourself on a deeper level.
Through breath, awareness, and gentle movement, you will learn to:
Calm your nervous system and release stress
Deepen the connection between your mind and body
Tune into your intuition and inner wisdom
Create space for healing and transformation
Let this be a moment just for you—a space where you can breathe, feel, and simply be.
You’ve Poured into Everything—Now it’s YOUR Turn. 💫✨
Let us take care of you for once.
Join us for a transformative experience in Costa Rica, where the jungle pulses with life and the land is wise.
Where time slows down, and the trees whisper ancient truths.
You’ll stay in a luxury eco-resort built with reverence—not a single tree was cut down to build it.
Here, we honor nature and the animals whose home we’re stepping into.
You will be surrounded by natural beauty, with lush jungles and the sound of the nearby river.
Here you will be held by the serenity of the land and the nurturing soul of the Costa Rican people, including your guide, Michelle.
This is more than a retreat—it’s a sacred return. Together we will:
Create a sacred space for your healing and expansion.
Reclaim joy as your birthright.
Guide you back home to your body and your truth.
Restore your nervous system, your spirit, and your joy.
Soften the edges of survival and burnout.
Remind you what it feels like to be fully alive.
Awaken your power and your presence.
Connect you to a collective of women rising together.
Remind you that you don’t have to do it all—or do it alone.
This is not just a retreat.
This is a remembering.
Through MBodied’s signature blend of:
Yoga, Yin & Somatic Movement
Breathwork & Rituals
Sacred Ceremonies & Sound
Nature Immersions & Intuitive Practices
You will unwind the tight places
in your body, your breath, and your life.
You will cry.
You will laugh.
You will dance barefoot under moonlight.
You will feel again.
This Retreat Is For You
Not the version of you who powers through. The real you. The soft you. The sensual you. The joy-full you.
Because joy isn’t just a feeling—it’s a frequency.
And in these times, a woman living in joy is a radical act.
This is where you shed the armor.
Where your nervous system finds its way back to safety.
Where joy becomes your baseline, not a fleeting reward for exhaustion.

As you immerse yourself in the surroundings, you’ll find solace in the gentle flow of the river, the playful calls of toucans, and the soothing sounds of the ocean, mountains, and jungle.

This is about embodiment, integration, and profound nourishment that will awaken the depths of your spirit and empower you to fully embrace your authentic self.
Meet Your Host:
Michelle—your guide, a daughter of this soil—is honored to welcome you to the land of her ancestors.
A passionate healer, teacher, and medicine woman, Michelle is devoted to helping women reconnect with their bodies, their joy, and their innate wisdom. Originally from Costa Rica, her journey has been shaped by personal healing, deep spiritual exploration, and over a decade of experience in yoga, Thai massage, Meditation, Reiki, and somatic practices.
After navigating her own path through physical pain, burnout, and a powerful reckoning with self-worth, Michelle founded MBodied—a space for profound healing and radical self-empowerment.
Through her signature blend of movement, stillness, breath, and energy work, Michelle guides her clients back home to themselves. She teaches from lived experience—with reverence, integrity, and love—supporting others to build self-trust, strengthen intuition, and manifest the lives their souls have been calling for.
This retreat is not just a return to joy—it’s a return to you. And Michelle is honored to walk beside you.

What She Said…
Words from women who answered the call.
Naima
The 2023 Breakthrough Transformation
“She arrived uncertain and closed-off… she left radiant, embodied, and free.”
When Naima arrived at the MBODIED Retreat, she carried some hesitation and uncertainty. Encouraged to join by a friend, she wasn’t sure what she was stepping into. At the time, she was navigating a difficult period in her life and feeling disconnected from herself. But over the course of the retreat, something shifted. By the third day, Naima was opening up—laughing, dancing, and engaging with a new sense of presence.
Today, she’s thriving, happy in a healthy and supportive relationship, and walking a path that feels aligned and purposeful. Her journey through MBODIED reflects the kind of deep, personal transformation that can happen when we create space to reconnect with ourselves.
Jenna
The Young Healer in Bloom
“She’s become a guide, a global traveler, and a grounded young woman with vision.”
Jenna and Michelle first crossed paths at a retreat in Costa Rica, where they formed a powerful connection that transcended age or background. What began as mentorship evolved into a meaningful collaboration within the MBODIED collective.
As a young woman stepping into adulthood, Jenna was navigating the complexities of relationships, career decisions, and discovering her purpose. With the support and tools offered through MBODIED, she’s grown into herself with clarity and confidence. Since then, she’s traveled the world, earned her yoga teacher certification, and is now headed to Montana to continue sharing her light with others.
Melanie
The 2022 Deep Awakening
“From questioning everything to embodying her truth—Melanie walks the path of deep, real transformation.”
Melanie first connected with MBODIED through Thai bodywork. On the surface, life looked good. She had a successful career, a happy marriage, and a loving home, but inwardly, she was filled with questions about her identity and purpose. That first bodywork session cracked something open for her.
Since then, she’s walked a path of profound inner growth, navigating cultural expectations and redefining what truly aligns with her. Her journey is still unfolding, and now, she moves through it with clarity, self-trust, and practices that continue to support her from within.

And if you're still wondering if this is for you...
Let me tell you about Her—the version of you that’s whispering beneath the noise.
She’s the one who’s held it all together. Who’s done the work. Who’s climbed ladders, smashed goals, built the dream life—only to wake up feeling…
off.
Not broken. Just... disconnected.
Like your soul is quietly asking: “Is this it?”
That part of you—the one aching to exhale, to soften, to remember—she already knows.
She knows this retreat isn’t about escaping.
It’s about returning. To the way your body sighs when it’s safe. To the power that lives in your breath. To the wild joy that exists when you are seen, heard, and held without needing to perform.
You don’t have to keep pushing.
You don’t have to keep proving.
You don’t have to wait until it all makes sense.
This is your invitation to come home.
To yourself.
To the sacred.
To a life that feels like you.
Let this be the moment you say yes to more than just rest…
Let this be the moment you say yes to your rebirth.
Q&A
📅 When is the retreat?

🧘🏽♀️ Do I need to have yoga or spiritual experience to join?
Not at all. This retreat is open to all women who feel called to return to themselves—whether you’re new to yoga and somatics or have been practicing for years. That said, this is a healing immersion, not a vacation. While you will have plenty of downtime, our time together goes deep. Our practices are rooted in sacred lineages and cultural traditions, and we hold them with deep respect.
Beginners are welcomed with open arms. In return, we ask that you arrive with an open heart, a willingness to be present, and a sense of responsibility to the collective energy of the group. Along with your retreat registration, you’ll receive three months of access to the MBodied Collective —a space to start exploring the practices, engaging with our community, and planting the seeds of connection that will blossom in the jungle.
This is a shared journey. Your presence matters. If you feel the pull, that’s your body already saying yes.
You belong here.

🌿 What’s the vibe like? Will I have downtime?
Yes! This retreat is about deep nourishment, not burnout in paradise. Expect a balance of guided practices and intentional space to journal, nap, roam the jungle, enjoy the breeze on the beach, get a massage, or float in the pool. Every part of the experience is designed to meet you where you are.
🤍 Can I come alone?
YES. Many of our guests come solo—and leave with soul sisters for life. This is a safe, welcoming space where you will be seen and celebrated just as you are.

If your heart is still lingering here, reading these words, it’s not by accident.
Something inside of you already knows—
You’re meant for this.
For more softness.
For deeper truth.
For sacred space that finally feels like home.
And listen… we get it.
The mind might still be bargaining.
The timing might feel messy.
The voice of “not now” might be loud.
But the truth? The real truth?
You’ve already waited long enough to choose you.
There are accommodations for every style and budget, so whether you’re craving a luxe jungle hideaway or cozy shared sisterhood, there’s a sacred space with your name on it.
This is your chance to unplug from the noise and tune back into your own knowing. To remember who you are beyond the roles, the hustle, the should. To experience the kind of transformation that doesn’t fade when the plane lands—it lives inside you forever. You don’t need to be more ready.
You don’t need to do more healing.
You just need to say yes to the real you.
We’ll meet you on the other side.
Your return awaits.
You don’t need to earn this.
You don’t need to justify it.
You only need to say yes.
To luxury without guilt.
To being cared for, deeply.
To unplugging from a world that demands your constant output,
and plugging into a jungle that knows how to hold you.
