INTRODUCING
The Practitioner's Wellness Retreat
The Practitioner's Wellness Retreat
We're focused on helping practitioners like YOU take time away from your practice to fill your own cup, so that you can continue to make an impact with the incredible healing work you do.
Hosted in the charming ancient town of Antigua Guatemala, this retreat will whisk you away to another time and place where you will feel connected and inspired. This short but intentional retreat will have a strong focus on your personal well-being so that you leave feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and replenished.
Dear Practitioners
I am SO happy you found this retreat.
Before Virtuwell Balance, I had a full time career in Health Information Management AND on the side I was running my health and wellness business as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Yoga Teacher. I developed a preventive health program that was implemented across 5 yoga studios, 3 gyms, and a chiropractic office. I worked 1:1 with clients, ran online group programs, designed my own recipe books, and hosted yoga retreats abroad. I learned A LOT along the way about how to create a successful fully remote private practice - and I also learned how quickly you can get burnt out.
Not only have I personally experienced burn out, but I can often identify it in the practitioners we work with at Virtuwell Balance.
I don't only want to help practitioners grow their revenue and increase their impact through value-based design and marketing... I want to help you maintain a healthy work-life balance (and sanity!) without getting burnt out.
The Inspiration for These Retreats
After 5 years of working in the design and marketing industry with hundreds of ambitious heart-led practitioners, I've noticed a common theme... You give, give, give, without taking enough time to fill your own cup (recipe for burnout!).
When you're passionate about what you do and you love your work, it's easy to forget to take a break, slow down, and reconnect. But it's necessary, not only for you, but for the success of your practice and for your clients/patients as well.
When you feel your best you can produce your best work and create a greater impact in your community.

When and Where
2025 DATES TO BE ANNOUNCED (5 days/4 nights)
Antigua is a 500 year old town and a UNESCO world heritage site that used to be the capital of Guatemala until it was ruined by an earthquake in the 1700's. Over the last century, Antigua has slowly been rebuilt to resemble the original town and is now a highly sought after tourist destination in Central America. Antigua is well known for it's international culinary experience and surrounded by volcanos, full of colonial style buildings, and cobblestone streets. You will feel like you're in a small European town!
*It's also the place my husband and I got married and have been living for the last 2 years, so I'll be your personal guide :)
Fly to GUA (Guatemala city airport), Antigua is a 45 minute drive depending on traffic when you arrive.
