Healing the Healer
A Restorative Retreat for Physicians
Come rejuvenate your mind, body, and soul!
April 15-22, 2023 in Costa Rica
Sisterhood Love Acceptance
You're overwhelmed with work and life.
Tired of the day-to-day grind and never ending "to-do list."
We know that medicine can be tough on your personal and professional life.
We know that medicine can be isolating and soul-suckingly heavy.
We've been there, too.
And we're here to help you find your own way out…
Healing the Healer is designed to help physicians reclaim balance and flow in both their professional and personal lives.
It is the only physician retreat for physicians, by physicians, that takes into account not only your physical and psychological needs... but also your energetic and soul-level yearnings.
We understand how important it is to take time for yourself, to step away from the daily grind and re-engage with your personal values and intentions.
That’s why we created a retreat specifically for physicians like you who want to leave behind the burnout and overwhelm and reignite their passion for life.
We strive to provide a safe and nurturing environment where you can finally relax, recharge, and reconnect with your inner purpose and desires.
Join us for the experience of a lifetime!
"The retreat was life changing, so thank you!"
~ Dr. Shelley W.
Recharge, Refresh, and Reset on this Transformative Retreat
Prepare for an incredible 7-day adventure of yoga, healing, and connection...
All while being immersed in the stunning natural beauty of Costa Rica.
Refuel with organic food...
Cleanse your soul in the sacred Nosara Beach...
Explore the magic of the jungle...
And soak up the BLISS!
As physicians ourselves, we know how easy it is to neglect your own well-being over caring for others.
Our retreat offers an incredible opportunity to finally focus on yourself first, so you can be at your best with your patients and loved ones.
You'll have the space to unplug from external pressures and rediscover the peace and joy that have been missing from your life.
You will learn unique self-care practices to help you better manage stress, elevate work performance, and enhance relationships with colleagues and patients.
And perhaps most importantly, you’ll be surrounded by like-minded physicians who understand the unique challenges of practising medicine.
Together, we'll share our collective experiences and knowledge to create an empowering community of support and healing.
Healing the Healer is more than just a retreat – it’s an unforgettable experience that will help you create a life that feels truly fulfilling.
"It’s just something every woman deserves. They deserve this moment for themselves and to do this for themselves – to put themselves first and to just come out here and experience it all."
~ Dr. Tenesa J.
Prioritize Self-Care
We believe that self-care is key to maintaining balance and flow in both your personal and professional life.
And we'll provide a variety of activities and workshops to help you do just that.
Our yoga and meditation offerings will include:
• Modo/Rasa inspired flow,
• Neurogenic yoga (for trauma),
• Mindfulness meditation,
• QiGong, and
• Healings with reiki and other energy modalities.
We'll close each inspiring day by holding sacred soul ceremonies and healing circles in the evening – including a dance party. 💃🏽

"[At the retreat] I learned how to become more self-aware, how to manage emotions that contribute to burnout, and practices that are going to improve my self-care so I can enjoy my profession better, longer, and help more patients."
~ Dr. Sandy R.
"I would not only recommend [the retreat] for other physicians, but I will return myself to get more of it because I felt like it really resonated with me. It nourished my soul, and I think it would be a good practice to continue so I can keep implementing it and reinforcing what I learned."
