“Can I please first thank all the staff, including Alejandra, Ana (psychologists), chef Ceci, Darlen, Fany, Francis, Mikey, Francisco, Sofi, Roberta, and Axel! They all contributed hugely to my life-changing experience at Sayulita Wellness. I will be forever in their debt. The whole week’s experiences will stay with me forever. Also, Axel’s remarkable ability to communicate a vibration of immense love and human kindness, I love you all!”

“It’s going to be hard to put into words how amazing this place is – so bear with me… I walked into this experience super skeptical, having PTSD, depression, anxiety, and severe ADHD… I’ve struggled with addiction throughout my life and needed a solution beyond Western medicine. The staff there went beyond my expectations, even though I was so defensive at first and almost combative, I’d even admit… however, they stuck with me – they made me feel beyond safe and comfortable. The warmth in their souls and wanting to come from a true place of love and light was definitely present.
Caleigh was a gem as she was so uplifting and made everything a positive experience – even when I was in a bad mood, she would light up the room and make me rethink about my gratefulness.
Cici made amazing food, as I thought I was going to be so challenged as a “foodie” not having meat – she went beyond my expectations in comfort foods that completely filled me up! Her soups are out of this world!
Paco had a calm soul, and I appreciated his consistency and calmness to any situation. I was so thankful to learn a new craft I’m going to bring home to my kids! Another calming activity to add to my collection – thank you ☺️🥰 that will continue to feed my soul throughout my life…
Mikey was so attentive to details – on top of keeping me hydrated – and secure if I was outside of the condo – and was an amazing co-pilot on whale watching trips so we felt safe outside the complex on excursions! (btw Axel and Paco did an impeccable job of this too!)
I could go on and on about this place – but just do yourself the favor and invest in yourself and trust the process of this place and the people… go in with a mindset of wanting to heal without expectations and you will experience something you’ll never forget in your lifetime… I want this experience for everyone and anyone – if the whole world healed like this we’d live in a utopia…. So thankful for this place and these beautiful, beautiful people!”

“Upon arrival at Sayulita Wellness, the incredible people envelope you with love and genuine support to help guide you on a journey of healing and inner peace. I came to this retreat in search of freedom from substance and a deeper connection with my emotional and spiritual being through the plant medicine Ibogaine. The many therapies I received prior to my ceremony prepared me to deeply root my intention for treatment. It was through these intentions, the medicine and the love I received that I was able to achieve the clarity, profound inner peace, self love and patience that I was so desperately seeking. I am going home with deep gratitude for the experience that will forever be a part of me. My life is forever changed, and there are no proper words to be able to express how grateful I am to Sayulita Wellness for what they have given me. Gracias angeles de la guarda❤️”

“Deeply transformational, life-changing experience. Just spent 7 days at Sayulita Wellness Retreat and experienced both, psilocybin magic mushroom plant medicine and MDMA. I’ve done many retreats and spent time in several of the leading wellness resorts such as Lanserhof, SHA, Chenot Palace, MayrLife, … and I’ve also done plant medicine before (Ayahuasca, Peyote, San Pedro). This retreat at Sayulita Wellness was very well organized and lead to deep healing for me, especially on the somatic level. The mushrooms revealed and clarified multiple unconscious limiting patterns that my mind was running in the background. And the MDMA for me was even more powerful because my nervous system was able to reset and recalibrate after being stuck in a fight-flight-freeze mode for years. The team (Axel, Paco, Fanay, Mickey, Darlen, Mildred, Laura, Freddy, Ale, Cecilia, Caileigh) as well as the additional practitioners like Carley and Alex they brought in were all awesome and took care of everything beautifully. They created the important safe space for healing and letting go. The location is very nice, too. Even though there is currently a construction site next door it did not affect the retreat. There is a beautiful little private beach as part of the gated apartment complex that was essential in my healing experience. The views from the two apartments on the 7th floor are stunning, overlooking the Puerto Vallarta bay. And we saw whales swimming by almost daily. The food from the private chefs was yummy, healthy and nourishing. Highly recommend it if you are on a deeper healing journey!”

“Oh Sayulita Wellness Retreat, where to begin? A word: magnificent. Another: compassionate. A third: safe. One more: love.
From the moment I entered your beautiful grounds, I sensed it. This is the place to bond, to heal, to explore, to cry, to laugh, to encounter awe, explore the infinite, to be overwhelmed, to be accepted.
Our tightly knit group of 11 were united in a common mission — to overcome a personal challenge. Guiding us was a supremely talented and dedicated team that sensed and anticipated our critical needs — caressing us with indescribable care and attention.
Each activity blended into a tightly choreographed ballet of thoughtfulness. Sumptuous, plant-based meals prepared right in front of us — we always enjoyed as a group. The vistas to the ocean from open-air balconies were expansive, as whales occasionally breached the bay’s surface and cooling breezes caressed us. Yoga. Sound healing. Massages. Hypnotherapy. And more.
Sayulita’s grounds contain a stunning six pools for swimming, jacuzzi, cold plunges and plenty of space for chats or solo contemplation.
And then there is the medicine. Powerful. A compassionate and attentive team member stays by our side, ever vigilant to provide a warm hand to hold, a cool glass of water, a smile, or a shoulder to cry upon. My escort was Mickey, for whom I am eternally grateful. Thank you, Mickey. And Ale, who spoke so gently with me, quietly singing along with the soundtrack — ever-attentive and able to effortlessly intuit our coordinates every turn of the voyage.
In my all-too-short four-day retreat, I witnessed three people who made miraculous transformations on their journeys to healing. In a matter of this short time-span, virtually everyone appeared to be glowing, smiling, engaging and warm.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention a personal reaction — prior to Sayulita and only moments before the ceremony. I was scared. Frightened. What lay ahead? Were there things I shouldn’t know or be strong enough to handle? That’s where the Sayulita team gently provided tremendous support and love. They guided and I embraced the journey.
Most importantly, underlying the entire experience are the people of Sayulita. They fused to make my big adventure safe. I felt enveloped, even during my most trying moments of the ceremony. So, I will do my best to thank each one, and if I have accidentally overlooked someone, please forgive me.
Thank you Axel, of the beautiful smile, who, with Ale, hugged me and helped me summon the fortitude to proceed. Thank you Paco, whose genuine warmth, always knew how to support us. Thank you Laura and Cecelia, whose talented hands prepared our delicious meals. Thank you Darlene, who encouraged and hugged me, just because. Thank you Lilly for the special sound healing, and Marianna, for the beautiful, thoughtful yoga sessions. Thank you Mickey for your preternatural sense of presence and love. Thank you Mildred of the beautiful food. And Francia of the gorgeous smile. And Fanny…and the entire staff! Finally, thank you Andrew for your fabulous smile, infectious laugh, my new favorite gentleman’s hat and great “dad” flashlight. You seemed to know me — even before we met!
Making all this possible was my inspiration — and ever-present psychic link, my gorgeous, brilliant daughter, Caileigh. Thank you darling. And thank you Brian, her irrepressible, luminescent rainbow husband. What a pair! Infinite love. And from across the ocean, thank you the love of my life, my absolutely beautiful wife, Elspeth.
As I conclude, I share two words that emerged repeatedly in my consciousness and on my lips, as tears streamed down and the Medicine unfolded: Love and Compassion. I must give more. And, I must also learn to accept more, and thus be more kind to all – myself included. That is the gift of Sayulita.
With love and gratitude,
Paul”

“Love…is forgiving yourself. I had no idea that I had never forgiven myself for things I had done in the past. It was very healing to reconcile with myself. The medicine will give you what you need if you let it and I did. Was it easy…no. Was it worth it…yes. I am free from my unforgiveness of self. I also learned to be with the pain of my childhood experiences, my shortcomings as a father and husband, and the current loss of my sister. I never wanted to feel the pain before and this allowed me to feel it and then release it. Thank you to all of you who contributed your time, love, generosity, sacrifice, and guidance. If I miss any of you listed just know you are appreciated.
Paco, Ale, Caleigh, Axel, Francia, Darlen, Fanny, Laura, Ceci, Mildred. I invite you that are reading this to love yourself enough to find what you are looking for. This may not solve everything but will give you clarity to keep moving in the right direction for your life…let it be Love.”

“Sayulita is an amazing place of love, compassion, and healing. The people who work there are genuine, caring individuals all working together for a common goal of healing. If you are struggling, in pain, or know there is just something missing in your life I highly recommend taking this journey. It is not easy and at times you will be tested to your limits, but this is why you come. Digging this deep into your soul is not going to be easy, but it is necessary for true healing and building a foundation for an amazing life. You may not find the answers you were wanting, but you will find answers that allow you to move forward.
The resort is beautiful. Amazing views every morning, multiple pools to choose from, a private beach that calms the mind, and of course an amazing group of souls to guide you along the way. You will be eating healthy, delicious meals made with the love of Laura and Mildred. I was completely spoiled with the delicious variety of food and I am very grateful they are there.
I also want to give an extra special thanks to my friend Axel. He went out of his way to get me a soft mattress topper for my broken back which allowed me to sleep and truly enjoy my trip. He was there every step of the way helping me with any issues and hugging me when I needed to cry. You are an amazing soul I cannot thank you enough.
I have to also thank Francia, Alejandra, Darlen, Paco, Freddy, Ceci, Mikey, Roberta, Fanny, and all the medical staff. I wish I could write thank yous to each of you individually, but want to say your genuine caring and love was the rock that got all of us through this journey. You are all amazing people and are greatly appreciated. I also want to thank Demelza, the yoga instructors, and everyone else I am forgetting. Each part of the program had its purpose and I really enjoyed them. Lastly, a big thank you to Carley for your guidance and amazing healing. You have a gift and I am lucky to be a part of it.
If you are used to 5 star luxury resorts run to perfection you may not be satisfied. This place is doing something very special. It has a lot of moving parts and complicated schedules. Things will not go perfect and we should not demand that. When they do they will work to fix things the best they can and that is all I ask. What they give you that a 5 star does not is love, compassion, friendship, and a new beginning to life. I highly recommend.🙏💙🙏”

“I’m not good at leaving reviews because I never do however I believe that I had to write something because coming to Sayulita Wellness Retreat really helped me open my eyes and realize how precious life is and how easily it can slip away if I continued down the road I was headed.
I won’t go into details about my Ibogaine or DMT experience because it’s different for everybody but I am really grateful and happy I came and got to experience it. 🙏 Anyone who is looking for a second chance at life or a new beginning I highly recommend it.”

“Sayulita Wellness was an absolute blessing to find. My wife and I did a 5 day retreat with mushroom therapy. Honestly we were a bit nervous and did not know what to expect. The experience for me was unforgettable. It has absolutely changed me in a very great way personally. If you are facing an addiction or feel like you are not truly enjoying life and the beautiful things it offers then please contact them. They help everybody with different life battles and challenges. The treatment was one thing but the staff is absolutely incredible which made a great experience unbelievable. From Axel, Freddy, Francisco, Miquel, Darlen, Francia, Ceci, Hugo, Shannon, Alejandra, Roberta, Juliana, Laura, and Fanny. I hope I did not forget anyone. I am not the healthiest eater. The chefs made the healthiest and best tasting food. There was not a single dish I did not like. The staff made the experience unforgettable. They truly love, care, and support you through your journey. We can’t wait to return especially to be with the staff again. Thanks for everything. Here’s to new beginnings.”

“This is Michael Welsh of Fairbanks, Alaska. My four-day retreat at Sayulita Wellness was a wonderful experience. I am not a young man (74) and felt I needed to consider what I was going to do with my remaining years. I developed an intention over many weeks in anticipation of my Ceremony @ Sayulita Wellness (it is somewhat revised as I’ve tweaked the language but not the core intent):
“I am going to strive to live a healthy life so that I may create meaning out of the fabric of my life experiences. That is, I intend to write a novel/memoir/journalism/play or film script, or all of the above. An important goal of my writing projects are to create meaning (that IS what authors do, you know…) that enriches the lives of others who will encounter my work. I am talking about literary writing in which ideas about history and philosophy arise in the minds of characters who I dearly hope will come off as three-dimensional people trying to resolve complex problems. This notion of writing full time is an idea/dream that has been in the back of my mind on and off for many years. (I studied Literature and Writing at the graduate level.) I believe I have some good years left to my life and I want them to matter. It is now time.
Ostensibly, I have been “retired” from several careers that have provided me with a modest but sufficient income–especially if I choose to live in Mexico which I intend to do for at least 5-6 months during the long Alaska winter. I can envision the possibility of remaining in Mexico year round if things fall into place the way I hope they will.
So, my experience at Sayulita Wellness Retreat has helped to clarify my intention. I want to thank the staff for their kindness and attention to our needs (there were 5 others taking in the experience), great food and conversations. Not for a millisecond did I ever feel unsafe or afraid. The staff prepared us well prior to our individual ceremony. I am deeply grateful and will consider coming back to Sayulita Wellness next winter.”

“I am a real customer – I attended a 4 day retreat Jan 11th – 14th, 2025. This is a genuine 5 star review. I’ll start from the beginning. Spending such money for such a retreat was unprecedented for me. It almost caught me off guard. After my experience, I know now that I was guided there. Thankfully I listened and followed. It was worth every dollar. A true value of an experience. The healing I have experienced there and since returning home has been tremendous. The promotion of the retreat purporting that the psilocybin medicine creating a therapeutic experience equivalent to 30 years of therapy is both accurate and inaccurate – therapy isn’t touching this. This experience is on an entirely different level. There’s simply no better way to explain it, so the description of decades of therapy is as good as one can provide prior to a person actually having their own experience.
I didn’t go on this retreat for fun. I went in order to heal and move forward in my life. I was VERY hesitant and highly anxious about taking psilocybin. I don’t like being high or out of control. I even considered backing out prior to taking the medicine. I am so glad I didn’t. I’ve had friends “trip” on “magic mushrooms” before and I’ve seen the movies where characters hallucinate. I have no interest in such things. In my profession (Paramedic), I deal with people who are high, incoherent, out of control, and violent on a weekly basis and am always disturbed by their dysfunction and lack of control.
This experience is NOT getting “high”. I did not hallucinate. I experienced and lived my journey with the medicine. The best I can describe my experience was that of being deeply connected to a spiritual consciousness. I also don’t “believe” this was my experience, it IS what I experienced. I’m not a hippie. I’m a middle aged working class guy from the Midwest. The medicine connected me to something (spiritual consciousness) far greater than me and beyond this physical world but a place where I felt I was meant to be, meant to be connected to, that we are all meant to be connected to. I experienced what my friends and movies promoted, the kaleidoscope of shapes and colors initially, and then far, far beyond that. The journey itself was hard, uncomfortable, intense and unnerving but as I continued on the journey I remembered what the amazing retreat staff had taught and trained us to do, came back to my breath, experienced what I was experiencing, and let go. And it was beautiful.
As far as the healing and spiritual realizations and actualization I experienced, that is for me and the close people I choose to share that with, which included the retreat staff. You will have your own unique experience which will be perfect for you. That’s what they taught us in preparation for the journey.
About the retreat itself – the condo is beautiful, open, clean, and bright. It is in a safe location. It overlooks a gorgeous bay with their own beach. The FOOD is the best food I have ever eaten, period. The chef was a true master. She was preparing the food in front of us, all from scratch, vegetarian and nourishing. The activities leading up to taking the medicine (psilocybin mushrooms) were all so peaceful and intentional. Prior to the journey they were preparatory and relaxing. Following the journey they were healing and relaxing, promoting reflection and integration. The other fellows and I made the connection, they were preparing us for our journey and our experience in all phases. They knew exactly what they’re doing.
The staff – they made this experience a journey. There was zero corporate feel to them or the retreat. They are genuine lovely people. They were so attentive. I felt entirely safe with them during my journey. The staff gave so much of themselves, their presence, acceptance and care. They were so welcoming and engaging. They are special people. I was incredibly sad to leave them and I’d only met them 3 days before. I will absolutely be back in the near future.”

“After years of therapies and medications, I can confidently say that psilocybin was the best thing I did for myself and my well-being. I feel like I was given my life back, along with peace and self-love that I haven’t felt in years. Thank you to the staff for the most beautiful experience and support. I truly feel like a new person.”

“My husband and I attended the 4 day couples retreat. I can honestly say the experience far exceeded any expectation I had. The mushroom ceremony was truly life changing. I didn’t really know what to expect and went into the experience not really knowing what would happen as I did no research prior. The following day we did the MDMA experience together – I’ve never felt happier or more content than I did throughout this entire journey. The staff is incredible. Everyone was so kind and supportive. Norma, who stayed with me throughout my mushroom experience was such a safe space. She didn’t speak English but knew exactly what I needed at all times. I wouldn’t have had the journey I did without her. The experience was truly magical, I have a whole new understanding of myself and outlook on life. I think everyone should have this experience and I can’t wait to go back. My husband and I are so grateful that we found Sayulita Wellness.”

“This was such an amazing journey and experience. The staff became our family. Love to you guys. The accommodations were superb, food was out of this world. Situated on the beach in north Puerto Vallarta, I was absolutely blown away by the care and attention we received. The ceremonies helped in ways I can’t describe or even explain. They were performed with care, dignity and honor to the deep roots of the medicine and culture. I can’t wait to return and I hope the people I refer can also have a deep and spiritual experience. Thanks again so much for positively changing my life.”

“An absolutely phenomenal and life changing experience! Every one of the team were professional, friendly and genuinely caring. It was clear that every one of them were there because they wanted to help you on your journey. Massive thanks to Paco, Naritza, Freddy, Francia, Cecil, Javier (I know that’s not everyone) who made this a memorable 4 days in so many ways. Chef Hugo created incredible, healthy and nourishing meals throughout our stay – the best food we had during our stay in Mexico. Set in stunning surroundings, we received the mental preparation required to get the most out of the mushroom ceremony. The surroundings, the soundtrack and the support during the ceremony was phenomenal and ensured it was positive and healing in every way possible. Having had some previous experiences with mushrooms (all of which have been good) this still easily surpassed those and was by easily the most intense, invigorating experience to date. Without a doubt, this retreat is the gold standard – you won’t regret your decision to attend. We’ll be back sometime in the future.”

“A dream come true! I was so terrified to step out of my comfort zone and into this incredible healing journey. But, oh my gosh, I’m so glad I did! Caleigh, you’re a lifesaver! Your kind words and support gave me the courage to take this leap of faith. For years, I’ve been lost in the darkness, struggling to be my authentic self. I had no more trust in the world — let alone trust in myself. This retreat was a game-changer!
The amazing mentors and care team were so incredibly supportive and understanding. I felt SAFE, LOVED, and truly SEEN. Huge shout-out to my earth sisters, Ceci, Francia, Martiza, Dr. Naomi, Martha, Mariana, Carley, and Demelza. You all brought so much light and laughter to the experience. And to my earth brothers, Javier, Francisco, Alex, Charley, Fredy, and especially Chef Hugo ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – your passion for health and delicious food was inspiring!!! Every meal was an intentional culinary masterpiece. I felt soooo lucky to be eating each and every meal! I felt like I was on the set of “Princess Diaries”! 💖
This retreat has taught me the power of self-love and the importance of taking care of myself. I’m so grateful for this incredible experience and the lifelong friendships I’ve made. If you’re considering a healing retreat, I highly recommend Sayulita Wellness. It’s a truly transformative experience. Thank you everybody for this experience!!! Thank you for all that you do for the humans on planet earth. LOVE YOURSELF SWEET EARTHLINGS, always! You got this! ❤️ Let’s keep the lifelong healing journey going! Woot-wooooot!

I believe it was even more amazing because of the care that was given to me. I felt supportive and loved the whole time! Maritza spent quality time with me during the day while Caci stayed with me as I was on my mushroom journey. She held a space for me and made me feel loved!

“My experience at Sayulita Wellness far exceeded my expectations. I came into it with some hesitation, but by day two, I was completely blown away. Caleigh assured me this would be the case and she was not wrong. The staff were not only extremely professional, but they also made me feel like part of a family, always taking the time to patiently answer every question and ensure that each guest felt fully supported. Throughout the entire 7-day retreat, there was never a moment when I felt like I was lacking anything. Their attention to detail and genuine care made the experience truly unforgettable.
The staff, where can one start? These are incredibly gifted, living and talented folks. Each and every one from the core team (Maritza, Francia and Cecei & Paco), to the house Manager, Javier, to the incredible, unbelievable chef created, “to die for” healthy meals crafted by Hugo & Freddy, to the love compassion and support shown by the incredible energy. The depth of wisdom this entire staff embodies and imparts is exceptional. There is also an incredible bevy of outside experts and consummate professional that are brought in to facilitate yoga, breath work, somatics, hypnotherapy, CBT, among other healing modalities. I will never forget these people as they truly left an imprint.
Honestly to sum it up in a nutshell, I cannot wait for my next visit to Sayulita Wellness where I know I will be loved and supported through my continued journey towards healing and becoming a better version of myself.”

“This retreat was the most amazing experience. I went in with set intentions and came out with even more than I could have ever imagined. The staff became family, the other guests became soulfully connected to us. The ceremony was nothing like I imagined, but exactly what I needed. Sayulita Wellness helped me free myself from all I’d been holding on to from lifetimes and generations of pain and sorrow. She and the staff helped me heal myself and they will be forever connected to my soul. The food was amazing! The location was perfect, the other events were scheduled to help facilitate this healing. If you are struggling with anything and I mean anything I recommend doing this one thing for yourself. I guarantee you will not regret it!”

” I came here a few months ago and this place has completely changed my life. I feel like it helped me out with so much of my trauma. I left feeling no anxiety and that in itself is a game changer when I struggled with it everyday and being able to just go out into the world without that metaphorical monkey on your back. Its a game changer. I didn’t know what to expect but everyone was welcoming and Maritiza was my trip-sitter and she was so kind and made me feel so comfortable. I cannot thank her enough. I am still thinking about the food we had there. I am a huge foodie and it was probably some of the best food I have ever had. They get you so prepared for your trip from yoga to breathwork and hypnotherapy. Demzela was absolutely amazing, and I got so much out of her session. If you’re thinking about doing this, I highly recommend it. “

” Thank you to Sayulita Wellness team for a life changing experience. The team supported me through my 3 days treatment . They made the journey much easier for a beginner like me. – The program: my 3 days retreat were well designed and with great intentions to help me through the ceremony itself. From hypnotherapy to mediation to yoga,… all of it set the foundation that I needed to get through the journey. – The treatment was life changing. Within 12 hrs I felt my anxiety and depression melted away. I can take a shower in peace again. Smile and happy. Just peace. So if you wonder if it would work, it did for me. – THE STAFFS is the highlight for me that makes the trip worth it. Everyone was kind, professional yet so supportive. Thank you so much Francia, Maritza, Javier, Roberta and Paco. Special shout out to Cecilia, the amazing chef. The foods were made with love, care and so much intention to support our body for the experience. They were delicious every meal. I am forever grateful to them. They were amazing at helping me when I needed before, during and after the treatment. They are expert and just a light that guided my way! Thank you ! 🙏🏻 – the location: the resort is beautiful. You have no choice to relax 🥹 It was clean, 5 stars. I love every moment of it. Overall, I had an amazing experience .

Chef Laura is outstanding, I want to take her home w me! Looking forward to my integration sessions w Ana Claudia, the psychotherapist. She’s direct. I appreciate very much the flow of all the activities. Parts were hard and challenging, and unexpected. The journey and transformation I seek has begun. Do it! “

” First, the experience at Sayulita Wellness transcended any expectations I had. Seeing their peaceful approach to inner self intention, and worth, was just the beginning of my journey. I participated in the Wellness Retreat with my Wife and had preconceived thoughts we would be there exclusively as a couple, and work through things as such. What ended up taking place during daily moments both as a group, and individually, reframed my initial thoughts and led perfectly into inner self observation as a tool to find very personal guidance as individuals. The Shaman, is as wise as gentle, in providing exactly what you need to hear during your journey. Javier, the “maestro”, ensures retreat needs are met and makes every effort to accommodate your experience. Hugo, The Chef, takes great measure to provide fresh ingredients and prepares delicious spreads of local delicacy that nourish your body, supporting mental clarity. Cici, Fredy, Francia, Roberta, Paco, and the whole staff, are fully invested as well in your experience making this something you have to experience to truly understand the impact. “

” The Staff could not be more attentive and helpful – and knowledgeable. The tools and insights I received give me a sense of hope. It is evident the Staff loves and believes in what they are doing.Maritza, Paco, Ceci, and Francis became like Family. Javier kept us comfortable and things moving seamlessly. Guillermo managed the medical piece that made us all feel safe and prepared. The shaman could not have been more knowledgeable tuning the ceremonies. Ana Claudia integrated the experience in ways that resonated and never occurred to me. Alex connected me to the benefits and insights of the ice therapy and breath work, and how to integrate it to manage my life. Mariana not only provider movement for our bodies, but took the time to explain the ways to deepen the understanding. Delmelza introduced hypnotherapy techniques and positive thinking. Amazing. And Chef Hugo’s clean food was not of this world. Everyone needs this, when they are ready. “

” This was a truly life changing experience. My husband and I came for the seven day couples’ retreat and we have connected so deeply on the soul level. Maritza, Francisco, Ceci and Francia took great care of us throughout the week. The shaman was so kind, compassionate and supportive during our journeys. We gained self-confidence during our 15 minute ice bath with Alex there, coaching us to breathe through our discomfort and cheering us on. Ana is a phenomenal therapist and integration with her led us to many new, useful insights that we plan to apply to our lives as we return home. We are looking forward to our follow up integration sessions with her. I cannot rave enough about how delicious and amazing each and every healthy meal Chef Hugo painstakingly prepared for us was. Hypnotherapy with Demelza was beautiful and calming. Mariana coached us through yoga sessions and made an effort to really explain the spiritual meaning behind the movements. Every staff member here is a beautiful, loving soul. Javier, the house manager, worked tirelessly to orchestrate this week and we have so much gratitude for his efforts. This has been one of the most transformational weeks of my life and I cannot recommend it enough. “

A Transformative and Perfectly Timed Wellness Experience
I recently had the privilege of spending four days at Sayulita wellness retreat near Sayulita, Mexico, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I arrived, I felt like every need was anticipated and met with impeccable timing. The resort itself is a private oasis of tranquility, designed to help guests unwind from mental and physical stress. The view upon exiting the vehicle and entering the retreat was breathtaking.
The staff truly made this experience unforgettable. From the private security that ensured our safety to the gourmet vegan private chef who prepared exquisite meals, every detail was handled with care. The massage therapists, doctors, psychologists, and hypnotherapists were all incredibly professional and compassionate. They worked together seamlessly, making sure I received the right care at the right time.
Special thanks to the house managers and the team who guided us through meditation, yoga, breath work, and sound therapy. Their expertise and dedication created a supportive and nurturing environment that allowed me to fully immerse myself in the retreat.
Everything I needed was provided exactly when I needed it, making this a truly transformative experience. Absolutely life-changing, beyond transformational, I can’t recommend this retreat enough for anyone looking to heal, reset, and rejuvenate.
