This is a REAL retreat. For entrepreneurial women who work hard and bust their asses with long nights and late hours and have a hard time turning it OFF. Do you work so hard that you find yourself repeatedly getting sick? Give your immune system a rest. 

The Exhale Retreat includes healthy vegan meals prepared onsite by our chef. There will be facilitators and coordinators, including Alison, your host, to ensure that your stay is one of peace, relaxation, and self-care.

The venue for Exhale was carefully chosen. Amansala (Sanskrit: “peace waters”), located in Tulum on the Caribbean coastline of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, has four beautiful room options: Private Beachfront, Private Garden View, Shared Beachfront and Shared Garden View. This resort has an established reputation for offering incredible retreats that provide ample time for pampering and relaxation, leaving you feeling calm and tranquil throughout your stay.

Come to Exhale to find total peace and tranquility. Connect to the still, calm place inside you that centers you, grounds you, and relaxes you. We’re here to guide and support you on the path of relaxation, and we’ll walk it together to a destination of peace and contentment.

Do I need a passport to attend this retreat? 

You do need a passport to enter Mexico.  If you don't already have one, routine processing is 8 to 11 weeks and expedited processing (for an additional $60) is 5 to 7 weeks. This cost is not included in the ticket price.

Can I have a consultation call before submitting payment to make sure this is the right fit for me? 

Yes, of course. We are here to answer your questions, discuss what Exhale has to offer and whether it's for you.
