PRIVATE CUSTOM RETREATS · COSTA RICA
Create Your Own Private Retreat in Costa Rica
A deeply personalized Pure Bliss Retreat with Fern Olivia
There is something deeply powerful about choosing your own rhythm.
Not following a fixed schedule. Not fitting yourself into a group experience. But creating something that is truly shaped around you.
My private custom retreats are the most individually curated expression of Pure Bliss Retreats, created for guests who want more one-on-one support, spaciousness and choice. Together, we shape your retreat around your intentions, your energy, your dates and the pace that feels right for you.
Held on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast near Punta Uva and Puerto Viejo, your retreat can weave together yoga, breathwork, meditation, massage and bodywork, nourishing plant-based meals, nature, rest and deeply personalized sessions with me. EXPLORE PURE BLISS RETREATS →
PART OF PURE BLISS RETREATS
The most personalized way to experience Pure Bliss
Every Pure Bliss Retreat is personal by nature. This custom retreat is for the guest who wants to take that personalization even further, with more private time together, a schedule created specifically around you, and the freedom to shape your days around what you are most needing.
You may come on your own, with your partner, or with someone you love. We’ll begin with your intentions and create the retreat from there.
PERSONAL BY DESIGN
A Retreat Created Around You
No two people arrive needing the same thing, which is why no two custom retreats look exactly alike.
We begin with you: what has been feeling heavy, what you are longing for, how much structure or spaciousness feels supportive, and what you would love to experience while you are here.
Your retreat is shaped around your intentions, energy, schedule and desired pace. You may be craving deep rest after burnout, emotional renewal, creative inspiration, reconnection with your body, personal guidance, or simply a few days in which you don’t have to take care of everything yourself.
What Your Custom Retreat Can Include
Yoga & Embodied Movement
Gentle flow, yin, restorative yoga, somatic movement and practices that help you reconnect with your body.
Breathwork & Meditation
Private Conscious Connected Breathwork, guided meditation, nervous-system-aware practices and space for integration.
Massage & Bodywork
Therapeutic massage and other body-based healing sessions can be woven into your retreat depending on what feels most supportive.
Private Sessions with Fern
One-on-one guidance, breathwork, intuitive mentoring, embodiment, sound and integration shaped around what is unfolding for you.
Sound, Voice & Ceremony
Sound journeys, vocal practices, cacao, music and other experiences may be included when they feel aligned.
Nourishing Plant-Based Food
Fresh, colorful plant-based meals are part of the experience, allowing you to be cared for without having to think about planning and preparing food.
Nature & Spacious Time
Beach walks, ocean swims, jungle, journaling, exploration and plenty of time in which nothing is required of you.
Your retreat is not about fitting every possible practice into your days.
We choose what supports you and leave enough space for the experience to breathe.
A GUEST’S EXPERIENCE
“I would be alone, but totally cared for….
Rachelle Robinett, Founder, Pharmakon Supernatural® Cafe + HRBLS · New York City
"I felt surrounded by music, care, and support. I worked with Fern to create a custom agenda that included a couple of body/mind therapies each day, plus three personal ceremonies. The therapies ranged from massage and breathwork, to sound, reiki, Ayurvedic treatments, kundalini, kirtan, dance, and more. I would be alone, but entirely cared for, which meant even more headspace for letting go. It's also a rare relief to be carried as an adult, and that is how I felt. My food preferences are specific to say the least. I shared my meal requests with Fern, hoped for the best, and ended up with some of the most incredible meals I've ever had. Hyper-color tropical fruits and vegetables from a nearby organic farm became a kaleidoscope of raw-vegan-high-vibe plates, bowls, soups, smoothies and beyond that left me so entranced. Fern - whose patience, generosity and seemingly endless array of healing modalities positively enveloped me. As I told her, planning a retreat in such great detail is very hard to do and she did it perfectly." - Rachelle Robinett, Founder of Pharmakon Supernatural® Cafe and HRBLS, New York City
PUNTA UVA · COSTA RICA
Where rainforest meets the Caribbean Sea
Your retreat unfolds on Costa Rica’s southern Caribbean coast near Punta Uva and Puerto Viejo, where lush rainforest meets warm turquoise water and life moves at an entirely different rhythm.
Between sessions, there is space for barefoot beach walks, ocean swims, sloths and toucans in the trees, tropical fruit, local cafés, jungle paths and simply being outside.
The setting is not separate from the retreat. It is part of what allows you to slow down.
YOUR PURE BLISS STAY
A private place to land
Your accommodation is chosen alongside your retreat, with options ranging from private jungle casitas to beautiful nearby villas depending on your dates, preferences and budget.
Wherever you stay, the intention is the same: a peaceful private space where you can rest and integrate between sessions.

We connect personally and talk about what you’re needing.
Choose your dates + accommodation.
I create a personalized retreat for you, based on your intentions and desires.
From there, you simply arrive and receive.
A Luxury of Space
One of the most common things guests say after their retreat is:
“I didn’t realize how much I needed this kind of space.”
Your days are gently structured, with plenty of time to:
• rest without guilt
• reconnect with your body
• listen to your inner voice
• move at your own pace
This is where your nervous system begins to soften.
Who This Is For
This retreat may be for you if you are:
traveling solo and wanting something more personal than a group retreat
feeling burned out, overstimulated or ready for genuine rest
moving through a life transition or period of reflection
craving one-on-one support and a retreat that adapts to you
wanting yoga, breathwork, bodywork and healing experiences without a packed itinerary
coming with a partner, friend or family member and wanting a private experience created around you
FIRST SOLO TRIP TO COSTA RICA
“After my mom’s passing, I was craving to heal and take time for my self-care, and was recommended to Fern through a mutual friend. Fern listened and held my hand as I expressed all my fears and worries so I could feel comfortable and safe during my first time ever leaving the country! Once I arrived, I was greeted by Fern and Maxim at my bungalow and they prepared beautiful plant-based meals, and smoothies with the freshest ingredients for me every day, we had cacao ceremonies, sound baths, yoga, and meditation, a cacao coffee scrub on the beach, so I was given so much healing practices.
Fern introduced me to her team of local healers in the community, and I went on an amazing hiking excursion in nature with an indigenous guide who was so wise and knowledgeable I saw so many animals and learned so much about why this place is so special. I can’t thank Fern enough for being the most beautiful, bubbly soul I have ever met, she brings such a smile to your face, you feel instantly at peace and safe with her, she holds space for you and really, truly cares for you and wants to make your life better! I don’t think I would have ever left the country [USA] and gone somewhere myself if it weren’t for her!
If you are thinking about doing a retreat, I highly, highly recommend reaching out to Fern and setting up a group or personal experience!! She will help create an amazing time in a beautiful, beautiful place!!” - Kelsey
