Come to Costa Rica. 🌺 Experience Pura Vida!

When I realized that ALL dog pros suffer from the same mental health challenges as people in other helping professions, it was only natural for me to create a special retreat for pet pros here in paradise.

Focused on relaxation, I welcome all trainers, veterinarians, groomers, and shelter staff to my seaside villa to benefit from a Pura Vida Pup retreat. An all-inclusive experience with a custom-curated itinerary for each group, this special time apart from daily life creates memories to last a lifetime.

Participants focus on self-care in an inspiring educational environment:

🌺 Observe free-roaming canine behavior up close while you immerse yourself in the tropical beauty of the Nicoya Peninsula, a world famous Blue Zone. 

🐶 Discover the unique characteristics of Costa Rican "zaguates" on the beach while learning from experts in training, behavior, and ethology. 

🕊️ Step away from the demands of daily life, melt away stress, and prevent burnout by allowing yourself to be pampered and cared for.

Join an intimate group of colleagues and special guests for this unique learning and self-care experience!
