The Ultimate Guide to Self-Romance

This month, we invite you to romance yourself. Burn your good candles on a Tuesday at noon, just because. Use your most luxurious, expensive body oils– the ones you usually use before a date– after your evening shower and massage your own beautiful body from head to toe. Book yourself a dreamy vacation with the money you’ve been saving for someone special–you. You are worth investing in, spoiling, and treating with the most divine experiences.

Here are our top picks for the woman who knows she’s worth it.

Places We Love

Nosara, Costa Rica

Nosara is a beautiful jungle with a golden aura, a wonderful vortex of personal, social and global consciousness, and a place where people come to find themselves and sometimes never leave. One of them– me.

Nosara is also a major yoga mecca, first-class surf destination, and a robust wellness hub attracting a conscious, sustainable community. It’s ideally situated on a pristine coastline teeming with wildlife and lush nature. Nosara was recently recognized by National Geographic as one of the healthiest places to live, and the central Nicoya Peninsula of northwest Costa Rica, where Nosara resides, is one of the planet’s top Blue Zones.

For the ultimate self-romance, you can book a personal wellness retreat at one of our favorite yoga, surf or healing resorts or book an authentic experience as a guest in my beach loft, where I will serve as your healing concierge, cleanse consultant, and personal yoga instructor. Immerse yourself in traditional Taoist Healing Arts, surf with a two-time Costa Rican National Women’s & Masters champion Roxy surfer, and get in fantastic shape with Nosara’s most desired personal trainer. Since you’ll be feeling and looking radiant, you can book a professional photographer to follow you around in the jungle and capture beautiful photos of you in your true nature.

For those looking for an extraordinary experience with community and connection, attend The Alive Experience (March 9-16) – a transformational travel concept that offers a week full of activities and excursions to empower you to create a profound shift in the important areas of life: happiness, health, fulfillment, relationships and purpose.
