Please note that airfare is not included.  Price includes accommodation, transport from/to Puerto Jimenez airport to Blue Osa on check in/out dates, farm to table meals, unlimited coffee and tea, juice and smoothies, housecleaning service, Costa Rica taxes, an organized group activity with a guide, exclusive access to private beach and chlorine-free pool, one spa treatment, and workshops and lessons.

I'm glad you asked! The Transformation in Paradise experience is far more than an all inclusive-vacation!

Happy to explain why the price is what it is, which is based on the actual trip costs:

1) 100% Exclusive Access to private retreat center - we will have the entire Blue Osa resort to ourselves - no other guests outside of our retreat will be permitted to stay.  This means we have the privacy and quiet to fully let go, transform, be vulnerable and even cry if we need to without other resort guests curiously observing us.

This also means we can swim in the pool and sunbathe comfortably, meditate in silence, and attend workshops at our own rhythm and vibe without distractions of kids or people partying at the bar.

The less expensive hotel option has far more rooms and is open to passersby and other hotel guests that would completely impact the magical experience we are creating together.

2) Private beach access.. The Blue Osa is situated on one of the most beautiful Costa Rican private, virgin beaches and it is entirely ours for the full week!

There won't be any vendors, umbrellas, music, cigarette butts, beer bottles, garbage, cigarette smoking or other inconveniences that we unfortunately find at other beautiful beach destinations. Instead, we'll be sharing the beach with the macaws, howler monkeys, exotic birds, sloths and other beautiful Costa Rican rainforest creatures.

3) Fully stocked open-air yoga studio overlooking the ocean means clean yoga blocks, mats, blankets and towels will be available for us daily.  Unlike other closed, clammed-up studios which are the perfect host for foot/body odour and viruses, open air studio also means ventilation and a fresh sea breeze at all times.

Plus, our open air yoga platform has the most wicked view of the ocean which means morning meditations watching epic sunrises breaking out of the water.  We get to also enjoy this view during our workshops and workouts!

The less expensive hotel option means yoga outside on the lawn and no protection from the sun/winds and others can watch (no privacy.)

4) Private chefs and farm to table meals. We will be enjoying 3 daily whole food, organic meals directly from Blue Osa's own farm.

Rather than toast, jam, bagels or cereal for breakfast, sugary pastries and soda for snack, and heavy fast-food style meals for lunch and dinner as in a regular hotel, we will be eating gourmet super-healthy food the entire week, with breakfasts including Costa Rican delicacies, fresh eggs and fruit, home-made coconut milk, granola and gluten-free baked deliciousness, and lunches and dinners that include butternut squash and herb soup, gluten-free home-baked herb focaccia bread with pesto and sun-dried tomato dips, savoury zucchini and squash lasagna (vegan style), epic salads and home made fresh mango dressing, lemon herb chicken and crispy yucca wedges, made-to-order fresh fruit and nut smoothies and juices, and fresh-baked festive gluten-free coconut balls and Costa Rican cakes for dessert and in the afternoon after our excursion, and one Costa Rican style Tapas dinner of several savoury mini-dishes to explore more mouth-watering delicacies....is your mouth watering yet?

 But I think what you'll enjoy the most, as I did at the Blue Osa (besides the most delicious plant-based food I've ever eaten in my life), is the service of the private chefs, who remember your name, your food preferences and allergies, and who customize your plate with so much love and care.

5) Private cooking class. Included in your retreat price is a private cooking class from the chefs at the Blue Osa.  After discovering how delicious and mouth-watering plant-based cooking can be, we are going to learn to become beasts in the kitchen and masters at meal prepping! (Plus there's an exciting gift you will receive after the cooking class that will only be revealed then!)

6) One group excursion with private guide.  Included in the retreat price is also a group adventure excursion with a private guide that includes a gentle hike for all levels to a water fall and bird watching.  After all, we have to take advantage of Costa Rica's magnificence while we're here!

7) One 60 Minute Spa Treatment - once you arrive, you will have the option to book a 60 minute massage, facial or therapeutic treatment of your choice, included in the retreat fee, at Blue Osa's 5 Star on site Spa.  (You will have the option to book additional spa services as well if you wish).

8) Made to Order smoothies and juices - included also in the registration fee is full access to fresh fruit smoothies and juices to enjoy mid afternoon by the pool or while strolling along the beach.

9) Pick up and drop off at the Puerto Jimenez airport.  Included also in your fee is 45 minute commute by shuttle to and from the Puerto Jimenez airport on the start and end day of our retreat week.

10) Transformation in Paradise workbook and journal - Included also in the price is a hard copy of the transformational workbook you will be using to experience the different processes that will help you unblock self limiting beliefs, release addictive habits and interrupt the self-sabotaging patterns so that you can live life fully on your terms. 

11) Staff - The staff at the Blue Osa go above and beyond to make our stay the most comfortable and magical as possible - from warm smiles and attentiveness to all our needs, daily housekeeping and yoga studio cleaning between sessions, help with booking flights and other out of retreat excursions, to pre-dinner prayers and food preference accommodations - making our stay the most loving 5-Star experience! 100% you will be wanting to come back!

P.S. Gratuity for the staff would be so incredibly and deeply heart-felt and appreciated. If you're open to it, you can consider $5-10 USD (cash) per day for Blue Osa staff tip.

12) Costa Rican taxes are also include in your registration fees.

13) Other costs of running a high-quality international retreat - preparation and attention to small details such as retreat insurance and parting gifts are also included in the fee.

14) The price includes EVERYTHING once you get to Puerto Jimenez, all food and snacks and trips, excursions, and transportation, local guides, classes and workshops are covered, you will not need to pay for anything else unless you'd like to pick up souvenirs and offer the staff a gratuity tip.

Not at all! Every workout and exercise is adapted to each athlete's level, whether beginner or advanced. The workouts are short and the goal is to learn and connect with the body so that training is fun, flexible and adaptable to allow for consistency.

We will be slowly integrating you into meditation, teaching you the principles and how to focus on your breath.

Meditation is a powerful tool to transform the mind, release disturbances, overcome stress, and shift into a new identity of limitless potential.  We will teach you how to do all of that and more!

Not at all! Our yoga sessions are a gentle way to activate and stabilize the body, reduce injury, and start the day.  Safety is the primary goal and the flows are adapted to all levels.

One of the reasons I chose Blue Osa to host Transformation in Paradise is their flexibility and adaptability at accommodating various nutritional considerations and food sensitivities.

Shortly before your retreat, you will receive a form where you will be asked to include your food preferences.  This includes vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, gluten-free options.

**Please note that the food served at Transformation in Paradise retreats is primarily gluten-free and plant based meals.  On a couple occasions, we will be offered farm raised chicken as dinner options, however beef, pork and other animal meat will not be served.

The objective is to experience and perhaps introduce you to how satisfying and delicious fully body mouth-watering plant based meals can be! 

Plus, you'll learn how to prepare these meals and become a wiz in the kitchen during our plant based cooking class!

Blue Osa is located about 8 miles (11 km) south of Puerto Jimenez on the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica. Known for its rich bio-diversity and stunning natural beauty, the region has been called the most biologically intense places on Earth by National Geographic.

Blue Osa is nestled near Corcovado National Park and the warm shores of the Gulfo Dulce — the perfect place to see endangered rainforest plants and animals.

To get to Blue Osa, book your international flights to San Jose, Costa Rica. (airport code SJO)

From San Jose, you will fly or drive (if you wish to rent a car) to Puerto Jimenez. You may book your local flights directly with Costa Rica’s national airline, Sansa Air, or Skyway. If you are staying overnight, you may want to consider booking with Aerobell as it is located in Pavas, which is much closer to downtown San Jose.

The Sansa/Skyways Airport terminal is about 100 meters from the International airport. Once you exit from immigration, you take your luggage and walk left. You will exit the terminal onto the main street and then keep walking until you come to the airport. Costa Ricans are so friendly and asking for directions is super welcomed!

Once you book your flights, please email [email protected] with your flight details so I can help arrange the shuttle pick up/drop off.
