ARE YOU READY?
Fill Your Cup and Give Yourself the Gift of Rejuvenation & Retreat in Mexico!
We’ve seen so many people (including ourselves) completely transform their lives when they commit to Ayurveda as a healing path.
But we know how easy it is to get off track.
You start out hopeful and enthusiastic, but eventually, find yourself skipping self-care and eating anything that’s around simply because you don’t have the time.
Maybe you’re unsure about how to apply Ayurveda to your life.
Or, maybe you easily fall into harmful patterns and habits that don’t serve you.
We know how easy it is to feel fatigued, low energy, and burned out.
We want to support you!
For one week, in a gorgeous setting, learn the principles of living Ayurveda, how to apply them to your life now, and deeply connect to your health and vitality.
The water, warmth, community, daily yoga, and incredible food will reset your spirit.
You know Ayurveda is the path you want to follow. There’s only one problem…
It’s hard to do it on your own.
You need a retreat that’s just for YOU.
IF YOU EVER...
Find yourself falling into bad, familiar habits...
Feel convinced that you’ll never lose weight, have the body you want, or have a healthy relationship with food and self-care...
Feel frustrated with your health and how to nourish your body...
Feel like stress, depletion, and imbalance are hijacking your life...
You want to feel restored, energized, and balanced - for REAL and for the long haul.
But you’re not sure how to do it and sustain it. You want to feel so much better than you do...
Well, guess what? We have the solution!
We’ve seen women and men deal with these struggles so many times.
So we created a retreat where you can restore, relax and recover…
Reconnect To Your Radiance!

And create a whole new level of vitality. Our retreat is located in the beautiful beach town of Chacala - in the state of Nayarit, Mexico. March 2023!
We’ve created a breathtaking Ayurveda retreat experience, so you can reconnect to your radiance, optimize your immunity, and build long-term resilience through Ayurveda’s principles of holistic health, nourishment, and self-care.
You’ll deepen your understanding of your body through the lens of Ayurveda and receive essential tools for resilience and thriving in these stressful times.

For an entire week, we’ll deliver ancient teachings – in modern form – that will relieve stress and support every area of your life, especially your health.
A World Away...
The Rest & Digest Ayurveda Retreat takes place in the peaceful atmosphere of Mar de Jade, a healing retreat center nestled between the natural beauty of the tropical jungle and the pristine sandy beaches of Chacala, Mexico.
We chose this unique and luxurious location because it offers lovingly prepared food, with attention to using fresh and healthy ingredients, mainly from their 17-acre organic farm.
Chacala is one of the most beautiful and tranquil beaches on the lush coastline known as Riviera Nayarit.
The yoga & retreat studios have hardwood floors and offer inspiring ocean views, fresh breezes, and natural light.
Accommodations at Mar De Jade resort include lodging, 3 amazing farm fresh meals daily, beach access, and use of a pool, hot tub, and sauna facilities.
What makes Mar de Jade extraordinary is its humanitarian mission. It supports a private Montessori/Waldorf school for local children, an organic farm, and job training for local young people. The farm supplies the resort with fresh produce and chicken for the meals.
When you feel connected, supported, and inspired, you'll let go of what doesn’t serve you and embrace your healthiest self.
We’ll help you turn down your stress response, restore balance, and revolutionize the way you care for your body, mind, and spirit.
Before working with Mary Sheila I felt like a toxic blob. I had not been taking care of myself and had pretty much let myself go after having children. I was not exercising and relied on sugar and caffeine to get me through the day. Mary Sheila helped me understand what I was doing to my body and how I could make changes to get back on a healthy track. Not only was Mary Sheila supportive and informative, she never judged me for the way that I had been treating my body. She was understanding and just wanted to help me feel my best. Through the diet and exercise plans laid out by Mary Sheila, I have achieved all my personal goals, feel fantastic, and have incorporated healthy habits back into my life.

Before I ever worked with Talya, I was in a bad space. I’d been fighting the same 20 or 25 pounds my whole life. I was bloated, I was an insomniac, I was stressed at work… If you see people write reviews that say, ‘Talya saved my life,’ I am one of those people. Ayurveda truly transforms the way you think about your life and your health.

I’ve been working with Talya for several years now receiving dietary advice, lifestyle discussions, and bodywork. She’s been a great help to me in clearing up issues both physical and emotional. I recently received a one-day Panchakarma. She was clear and focused throughout all 6 hours of treatment. She is always so kind and respectful and can be a fierce warrior and advocate.

I will be forever grateful that I met Mary Sheila. She has made all the difference in my life. After watching my father pass from cancer, at 47 years old I found myself dealing with a health crisis relating to my thyroid and lymphatic system. I found Mary Sheila immediately very easy to talk to, and I felt very comfortable with her, which doesn’t always come easily for me, being the private person that I am. Mary Sheila has made all the difference in my confidence level relating to my current health and the approach I have taken. She has given me many tools and has taught me food choices as well as exercise habits that have made all the difference. Where I previously considered myself to be pretty well versed in good health, Mary Sheila has taught me many new tools. I am now feeling more empowered in my future health path and in working through what I need to do next. And I have met a wonderful and knowledgeable friend that I know I can depend on in the future too. What a blessing she has been!
