Details

Calling all eldest daughters, chronic “givers," and sensitive empaths: HEAL is designed to help you explore and heal deep-rooted patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the pressures that come with being a high achiever. Through group work, somatic healing, and time away, you’ll experience transformative healing and return to yourself in a supportive and nurturing environment. Through somatic healing, group connection, and intentional rest, you’ll experience: - Emotional and psychological healing from perfectionism and people-pleasing. - Somatic healing practices to reset your nervous system and release trauma stored in the body. - A supportive, nurturing community of like-minded individuals exploring their unique journey. - Tools to live authentically, be in alignment, and find deeper inner peace.

Lunita was born from a vision to create a harmonious space that aligns with the rhythms of nature. ​As a retreat center in Riviera Maya, it was designed with deep respect for the environment and local traditions. From asking permission to the land to building a house for the Aluxes, every step honored the cultural heritage of the region. Solar panels provide sustainable energy, water is sourced from an underground cenote, and the construction preserved every tree on the land. We also replanted 5,000 trees to support the local ecosystem and honor Pachamama, the nurturing spirit of Mother Earth. Lunita is more than just a retreat. It is crafted with heart, soul, and a commitment to connecting deeply with nature and the traditions of this sacred land.

Testimonials

info

Attending the Heal: Somatic Wellness retreat hosted by Katie was life changing. I loved that we went to Mexico for this retreat because it gave me the chance to change my environment before doing some much needed inner work and reflection. Katie was very gentle in how she managed the retreat and she helped to create a space where I felt comfortable, seen, heard, and valued. The flow of the retreat was amazing as it allowed me time to learn via the educational workshops, grow via the immersive activities, and relax with ample downtime. I highly recommend her services and look forward to the next wellness retreat.

I came to HEAL alone after finding out about it on Insight Timer when looking for retreats. After severe corporate burnout in the tech industry and being laid off, this retreat felt perfect for high performers who just need a break. Removing myself from the reality of politics, family, friends, and social media really helped me heal for a week with the sole purpose of helping myself relax and learn about tools and mechanisms that can help me when I return. I made friends, ate delicious food, had once in a lifetime experiences, and saw such a reduction in my anxiety and need for control. Everything was taken care of and I was able to let go and enjoy.
