My recent trip to Guatemala was nothing short of transformational—a journey that was exactly what I needed to reset and begin the process of healing my nervous system. Every aspect of the trip was impeccably planned, with attention to detail that ensured a seamless experience. Each activity and experience felt thoughtfully tailored to align with the mission of the trip while addressing the unique needs of myself and everyone present. From grounding moments of tranquility to invigorating opportunities for connection and exploration, the atmosphere struck the perfect balance between calming and energizing. Morgan and Paige were the heart of this incredible experience. Their ability to co-create memories that will last a lifetime is unmatched. Their collaboration brought an unparalleled sense of care and intention to every moment, leaving me deeply grateful for their leadership. Without hesitation, I would join them on another journey at any time of the year. This trip was a gift to my soul, and I look forward to carrying its healing energy with me into the future.

From the start everything was intentionally curated! I truly appreciate the detailed thought and effort that took place to create a beautiful experience. My safety is always my main priority when traveling and I definitely felt safe during this trip down to the constant communication, accommodations and transportation. 10 out of 10 experience and would definitely do it again.

Everything was so perfectly planned & executed! The villa couldn’t have been more stunning and comfortable. I loved the combination of down time to relax, wellness classes facilitated by Paige, and cultural-focused activities led by the local community. It was an ideal blend of rest, healing, exploration, learning, activity, and fun! Plus the house staff, breakfasts selections, fresh juices, champagne toasts… were all exceptional. Can’t wait for the next one!
