THE RESTORE AND RENEW RETREAT 

Uvita, Costa Rica

April 20-April 26, 2025

Restore your vitality, renew your spirit.

Are you ready to elevate your spirit, relax, your nervous system, and feel more alive than you have in years?

Join Shelagh Curran, RD, LDN, RYT for a Soul Awakening Retreat

Imagine spending a whole week, nurturing and tuning into every single part of YOU. Your body, your mind, and your soul. 

You’ll wake up to the sounds of the jungle, surrounded by the vibrant, MAGICAL energy of Costa Rica, and dive into a day filled with nourishing activities curated to help you feel more alive than ever. From vibrant, nutrient-dense meals to daily yoga and restorative + somatic movement, every practice will support you in connecting deeply to your body and intuition.

This is so much more than just a retreat or vacation. It’s an invitation to step into your healthiest, most energized, and authentic self. We’ll blend science and soul, using meditation, nervous system practices, and nutrition & wellness workshops to help you align with your body’s wisdom and feel empowered in your own skin. You’ll walk away feeling renewed, radiant, and deeply in tune with your intuition and inspiration for life.

This is your time to step out of the ordinary and into the extraordinary. I’m so beyond excited to guide you through this life-changing week in the jungle. If you’re ready to step into your healthiest, most energized, and true self, Restore and Renew is waiting for you. Vamos a Costa Rica!

LOCATION: uvita, costa Rica

Our sanctuary retreat location is tucked away in the lush mountain jungle of Uvita, with hiking trails and waterfalls right on the property. Practice yoga and fall asleep to the ambiance of the jungle- the IRL version of nature sounds on Spotify (but way better).

Uvita has the best of both worlds - jungle, mountains, and ocean. We’ll beach it up at Parque Nacional Marino Ballena (Whale Tale Beach) and hike the famous Nauyaca waterfalls for a swim.

This little sliver of Costa Rica has a special place in my heart. I was so lucky to call this land home for a few months in 2024 and am beyond grateful to return for a few more in 2025! I’m so excited to share this incredible part of the world- Costa Rica is a true energy vortex. I have traveled the world and can’t think of a better spot to spend this transformative week.

This isn’t just a retreat—it’s a homecoming.

Your physical health and body are a portal to the depths of your heart and soul. When you speak the language of your body and STOP living in your head, you access a deeper sense of touch with your intuition. You’ll return home from this retreat restored and with a stacked new set of tools to stay online with your body, regulated in your nervous system, and lead a connected, energized, and embodied life.

Meet your retreat host

  • Who I am: Hi, I’m Shelagh! (like “shayla”) I’m a holistic registered dietitian, somatic nutritionist, trauma-informed yoga teacher, and writer. I’m also a huge travel lover and have spent the last 2 years exploring the world as a digital nomad. Retreats allow me to integrate two of my passions, wellness and travel.

  • What I do: I combine nutrition counseling and health coaching with yoga, energetics, and other body-based somatic practices to provide women with the tools to regulate their nervous systems, balance their hormones, heal their relationships with food, and connect to their bodies. I have worked in the wellness space for the last 10 years, teaching individuals how to live an embodied life and connect to their authenticity and intuition through nutrition, movement, and mindfulness. My own experience with PCOS and disordered eating has led me down an incredibly fulfilling path in guiding others on their own health + spiritual journeys.

  • Some fun stuff:

    • Traveling the world was always my dream as a kid and I even had an “around-the-world fund”. I had my mom empty the account when I first went nomadic- I had a whopping $63 in there.

    • I was born and raised in the Greater Boston area and have 3 siblings- an older brother, an older sister, and a younger brother. We are all close in age and their names are just as Irish as mine.

    • I’m a Manifesting Generator, Enneagram 2w3, Taurus sun, Capricorn moon, and Virgo rising. The triple-earth-sign-energy definitely oozes out of me.

    • I am a huuuge water baby and you bet I’ll be right there with you diving into those cascadas on the retreat. I grew up as a swimmer and feel very at home in the water.

Whats included:

  • Transportation to and from the airport.

  • 7 days and 6 nights of accommodation at Flo Retreat Center.

  • All meals during the retreat, featuring healthy, delicious, and nourishing local cuisine. High protein, vegetarian, and gluten-free options will be available. You will be well fed starting from dinner on the first night to breakfast on our last day.

  • Daily movement and meditation practice (a blend of restorative and higher energy practices).

  • Wellness workshops and special events like sound healing and ecstatic dance.

  • Cultural experiences like a cacao ceremony and latin dance class.

  • Daytrips to Nauyaca Waterfalls and Parque Nacional Marino Ballena.

Whats not included:

  • Airfare.

  • Travel insurance.

  • Any gratuities you would like to contribute.

  • Souvenirs or any other shopping you’d like to do.

    "After 24 years of struggling with chronic bloating, constipation, migraines, period problems, and more, I finally found Shelagh. For the first time in as long as I can remember, I'm comfortable in my body - no physical discomfort and I feel like my body composition more positively reflects my body image. I can't count how many times I've said, "Everyone deserves a Shelagh."

    - Client K, 29 years old

She helped me find my beautifully feminine self again and guided me on the journey of loving myself.”

    Client V, 31 years old

craving some irl community and connection?

I could try to explain the transformation and healing energy of retreats, Costa Rica, and being surrounded by like-minded women, but it’s not something that words do justice. Its an immersive experience that is felt in your body.

An experience where when you go back home, you aren’t the same. Yet at the same time, you’re more you than you’ve been in a long time.

this is for you if you’re ready to…

  • Feel amazing and energized in your body, like the most magnetic person in the room.

  • Leave feeling inspired, where you fall alseep excited for the day ahead tomorrow.

  • Connect to the power of sisterhood, leaving with friendships that last a lifetime (really).

THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF YOU’RE NOT READY TO….

  • Get uncomfortable, starting with booking that plane ticket and saying YES TO YOU.

  • Dig below the surface of what keeps you in cycles that keep you stuck.

  • Change your life and renew your energy.

Our retreat chef can accommodate most allergies and intolerances. There will be an opportunity to submit any dietary needs prior to the retreat, but please also let Shelagh know upon registration.

What should I pack?

A packing list will be sent out 1-2 months before the retreat. We got you covered!

what airport should I fly into?

San Jose Airport (SJO). We will organize airport pickup and transfer to the retreat center together.
