Reclaim your Power

Recovery Wellness Retreat

Yelapa, Mexico

Men, Women & Non-binary

A sober Retreat for Personal Transformation

You are here, and for a reason. That you have some kind of interest in learning and living a more centered lifestyle through holistic wellness, (a type of modality that empowers you to be your own healer).

What does that even mean, to be more centered? Self centered? No, not exactly, but parts of that could be of great benefit. To be centered onto one’s self and their well-being, is a deep & devoted love of your presence, letting yourself “take up space”, knowing that you have every right to be here, stepping into your power to be that bold and beautiful you. Which I would like to call it, “The Becoming Process”.

This strength and power within doesn’t happen automatically, nor do we allow it to be present in our lives. We have been affected by social limitations, world order, and personal traumas, keeping us from achieving our innate truth and wisdom.

Until we have some kind of “awakening”, that guides us into the detachment process, it can become very painful to live a life in constant resistance, uncertainty and inauthenticity.

To begin, you will be guided daily with positive mantras/affirmations and supportive energetic experiences through yoga philosophy & recovery coaching. This dual approach will support the re-patterning of your inner landscape (mind, body, emotions, behavior, & spirit), knowing that you do deserve to be here, no matter where you have come from, what you have been through, or where you would like to be going.

One of the biggest choices you will ever make or not make in your lifetime is the choice to “detach” yourself from the life pattering that you know, to find who you truly are.

Who am I? And within this question, How can I take up space in this world, with the deep knowing that I belong and deserve to be living from the voice of my heart?

It’s time to reclaim your power, by connecting to your subtle senses, self awareness, personal purpose, and selfless service.

Come join us here at Los Naranjos Eco-Retreat in Yelapa, MX, for 7 days, a place that will energetically support you in the shedding and rebirthing process into “Becoming”.

This all-inclusive eco-retreat has been curated to support you in self inquiry for personal transformation.

Julia ALLSHOUSE

Personal transformation retreat leader | experienced registered Yoga Teacher | certified Holistic Health Coach in integrative nutrition | Shaking Medicine teacher in Therapeutic Tremoring for Tension, Stress, Anxiety, PTSD & the effects of Trauma

Julia is originally from Pittsburgh, PA, with over a decade living in the beautiful country of Mexico. While in Mexico, Julia started her own Yoga Studio & Wellness Practice called Vikara Wellness based out of her home in Puerto Vallarta in 2012. During that time, she also began an ambitious venture by working side by side with the owner of Moffitt Wellness Retreat, a Drug & Alcohol Rehabilitation Program, as the Operations Director & Yoga Teacher.  

When she moved to San Miguel de Allende, her primary goal was to start a family, which happened only 3 months into living there. The wonders of motherhood took her over physically and spiritually as she dedicated her time towards raising her new born child. Once her daughter grew into her own a bit, she started venturing back into the world wellness.  

With inspiration through spiritual ceremony, she began expanding out her wellness business to create a unity between community yoga teachers, transformational and trauma informed coaches, spiritual guides, and students a like, specializing in creating holistic wellness programs for recovery in Yelapa, Mexico, along with destination recovery & holistic wellness retreats for those who are passionate about up leveling their physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral blueprint towards personal transformation.

Julia has a passion in educating people who struggle with mental illness and addiction, because she comes from a family who have had to navigate the world of mental illness and addiction, and always knew she didn't want to trigger the possibility of repeating the same pattern.

There came a time in her life, when unhealthy relationships were affecting her deeply, causing depression and an unhealthy lifestyle, not knowing how to overcome.

It actually took her years to make the decision to attend a yoga class, and when she did, it all went uphill from there. It changed her life forever, and she wants nothing more than to inspire yours!

Julia was introduced to Shaking Medicine while she was in the process of becoming a TRE Provider, and felt that the expansive knowledge of movements, shapes, and unique techniques to tap into therapeutic tremoring, fit the mind/body/spirit connection in a deeper way, as well as gave a broader range in motion to explore the body. She decided to complete her training in therapeutic tremoring with Shaking Medicine, and has already started incorporating classes in her retreats and local community.

Julia is a certified holistic health counselor from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, a E-RYT 200hr, & RYT 500hr Yoga Alliance Certified teacher with trainings from Drishti Yoga International, & Samadhi Yoga Ashram, specializing in traditional tantra kundalini & hatha yoga rooted in Himalayan yoga tradition, and have completed her Anusara 100 hr immersion training based in hatha tradition with Sarah Faircloth.

Julia also brings to her unique themed classes a knowledge of the physical and the energy bodies combined with an understanding of the philosophy of yoga and has the ability to adapt to individual needs. The insights and affirmations she shares comes from both guidance from spirit and from her own experiences. She encourages her students to listen and lead from the heart, which gives them the opportunity to discover their inner teacher and pure potential.

Her personal recovery from addiction led her to the yogic path and a myriad of healing modalities including plant medicine ceremonies, the 12 Steps, Family Constellations, 5Rhythms and psychedelic/trauma therapy.  Long-term sobriety has gifted her with personal knowledge of the path of recovery and the wealth of tools available. Yoga, meditation, dance, breath work, exercise, and diet have been foundational for her personal healing. This inspired her to train as a recovery coach and she brings her own unique blend of her experiences and training to her coaching sessions. She appreciates that each person is unique and must find their own way to their true self and to self love. Her role is to guide, reflect, motivate, and empower you to be the very best you can be in this moment.
