Serenity Retreat
Costa Rica
April 2026

You’ve Been Strong Long Enough.

It’s Time to Soften, Heal, and Reclaim Yourself.

 A 5-day transformative retreat in Costa Rica designed for high-achieving women ready to trade exhaustion for clarity, peace, and authentic fulfillment.

 No pressure. Just answers, insight, and inspiration.

You’re Successful.
So Why Do You Still Feel So Empty?

You’ve worked hard. Built a solid career. Achieved what others admire.

 

And yet… underneath it all, something’s missing.


You feel tired — not just physically, but soul-deep tired.


You keep thinking: “Is this really it? Is this what I worked so hard for?”

You’ve tried to push through. Maybe a vacation, a girls’ night, a self-help podcast.


But no matter what you do, the weight returns.


That quiet ache inside whispers: “I need more. I need different.”

That’s why I created the Serenity Retreat — a place to step away from the noise, the roles, the constant striving…


and step back into yourself.

Here’s What You’ll Experience at the Serenity Retreat

Imagine waking up each day to birdsong and warm tropical breezes…


Imagine resting in a luxurious bed you didn’t have to make…


Imagine someone finally asking, “How are YOU really?”

and staying for the answer.

Meet Your Guides

Dr Sandra Thebaud

I’m Dr. Sandra — psychologist, stress management expert, and someone who knows firsthand what it’s like to quietly carry too much for too long.

I created this retreat because I’ve seen how burnout steals joy from brilliant women. My mission is to help you remember who you are beneath the roles, responsibilities, and expectations — and to guide you back to your voice, your values, and your peace.

Together with my co-host Sydney, we’ll walk alongside you every step of the way. You won’t be “another guest.” You’ll be part of a small circle of women gathering for healing, reflection, and renewal.

Sydney Jackson-Clockston

"I am a certified master coach, award-winning author, speaker, trainer, and event designer committed to empowering clients with holistic leadership development. I am known for my ability to curate transformational experiences."

This Retreat is Perfect if...

✔ You look “fine” on the outside but feel tired, disconnected, or secretly stuck

 

✔ You’ve tried quick fixes (wine nights, vacations, podcasts) — but nothing sticks

 

✔ You want peace, clarity, and a sustainable plan to live life differently

 

✔ You’re ready for deep conversations, honest reflection, and real transformation

 

✔ You’re done settling for “almost okay” — and ready to feel fully alive again

If a quiet voice inside is whispering “I need this”…
Trust that voice.

​What if I don’t know anyone going?

 

Most women come solo — and leave with lifelong soul sisters. We intentionally foster community, not cliques.

I’m not sure I can afford this.

 

We’re offering a $1000 early bird discount + payment plans. Start with the info session to explore options and see if this is the right fit.
