Event Details
The FasciaWave™ Retreat is rooted in the SVMT Method of Transformation — a heart-centered teaching that begins in the body, honors vibration as the language of change, and invites mindfulness through a gentle, trance-informed perspective.
This retreat is not only about learning more techniques, but about remembering how to listen. Through embodied presence, sound, stillness, and nature, we return to the wisdom that lives beneath thought — where the body leads, resonance guides, and transformation unfolds naturally.
Here, sound becomes medicine, the nervous system softens, and healing arises from alignment rather than effort.
This is not a retreat to escape your life. It is a return to the living intelligence within the body.
Set within the lush, breathing landscapes of Costa Rica, The FasciaWave™ Retreat is an immersive certification for practitioners ready to deepen their relationship with fascia, vibration, and somatic listening. Here, fascia is approached not as tissue to manipulate, but as a responsive, sensing web — a living field that remembers, adapts, and releases when met with attuned presence.
Through the FasciaWave™ approach, you will learn to work with vibration as a wave of communication — guiding resonance through the fascial network to support unwinding, regulation, and embodied coherence. This work is subtle, powerful, and deeply respectful of the body’s timing.
Each day unfolds as a rhythm of learning, practice, integration, and rest — weaving advanced vibrational therapies with nervous system awareness, somatic inquiry, and nature-based restoration. Certification is earned not through force or performance, but through presence, precision, and embodied understanding.
This is fascia work as art. As listening. As relationship.
You are invited to slow down enough to feel what is already moving — and skilled enough to guide it wisely.
The 5 practices: Vibrational Therapies
The Fascia peaks in vibration and the heart of FasciaWave™ are the protocols and teaching practices using Tuning Forks, Himalayan Bowls, and other instruments. You will have hands-on practice learning the amazing transformational skills of these tools.
You will learn:
- Tuning Fork protocols for inflammation, tension, pain management and more
- Singing Bowl protocols designed to be used on Fascia lines for various needs
- Protocols for vagus nerve & nervous system regulation

Event Details
Regulate to Elevate is a transformative 7-day women’s retreat designed to help you slow down, restore balance, and reconnect with yourself in the breathtaking mountains of Costa Rica.
Many women today are used to being the strong one—the leader, the achiever, the one who holds everything together. Over time, that pace can leave the nervous system overwhelmed and the body longing for rest.
This retreat offers a sacred space to pause, breathe, and reset.
Through sound healing, Qigong, meditation, breathwork, and embodiment practices, you’ll experience powerful tools to regulate your nervous system, release stress, and reconnect with your inner clarity and feminine wisdom.
Surrounded by the lush beauty of Costa Rica at Pura Vida Retreat & Spa, you’ll enjoy nourishing meals, peaceful nature, and meaningful connections with other women on a similar journey of healing and renewal.
Each day will include guided healing sessions, nervous system regulation practices, time for rest and reflection, and opportunities to enjoy the tranquil retreat center environment.
The retreat also includes a guided excursion to the famous Costa Rican hot springs, offering a deeply restorative experience in nature.
This experience is designed for women who are ready to step away from constant doing and return home to themselves.
“The woman you are becoming is already within you. This retreat is where you remember her.”
Space is intentionally limited to create an intimate and supportive environment for deep transformation.
