Location
Welcome to Playa Chiquita — A Hidden Gem on the Caribbean Coast
Tucked between lush jungle and the warm turquoise sea, Playa Chiquita is a magical haven on Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast — where the rhythm of the waves meets the whisper of the trees.
This sacred land invites you to slow down and tune in. Untouched and intimate, the beach is dotted with natural tide pools, shaded by swaying palms, and often graced with more howler monkeys than people.
A short jungle path leads you from your sanctuary to the soft golden sand — perfect for sunrise meditations, ocean dips under the sun or stars, and barefoot walks where time seems to disappear.
Here, life is vibrant yet peaceful. The surrounding community is rich with conscious cafés, local artisan shops, and healing centers — all nestled within the wild beauty of the rainforest. You may spot sloths lounging in the trees, blue morpho butterflies dancing by, and toucans calling from above.
Whether you're resting in a hammock, practicing yoga under the jungle canopy, or sipping fresh coconut water after a swim, Playa Chiquita offers the perfect setting to reconnect with yourself and the Earth in a way that feels both grounding and liberating.
Daily Yoga
Whether you are a complete beginner in meditation or yoga, you have been practicing for some time, or you are an experienced meditation or yoga teacher, this program will empower you with profound knowledge, wisdom, and a fresh perspective on yourself.
You and only you, hold the key to positive self-transformation in your own hand and it is your responsibility to turn that key.
All you need to do is to learn to truly let go and believe in yourself consistently during this extraordinary self-journey.
In the yoga practices, you'll learn different styles of practice including Vinyasa, Restorative, and Kundalini Yoga, to help you develop greater body awareness, learn to listen to your body, and flow effortlessly into stillness and inner harmony in order to experience the truth of who you are.
Meditation
In the meditation practices, you’ll practice various techniques of meditation and visualization.
These practices give meditation beginners a great chance to kick start their meditation practice and experienced practitioners a wonderful opportunity to learn other techniques of meditation.
You’ll make many new discoveries about yourself and open up to new perspectives and beliefs that will transform your inner world.
Breathwork
In the breathwork practices, you’ll be guided through different breathing techniques and learn to harness the phenomenal power of your own breath; to release physical and emotional blockages, pain, and trauma; and feel perfectly safe and grounded in the present moment using the breath as your anchor.

Love notes
“I had the amazing opportunity to work with Fern for a personal thyroid medicine woman retreat and I can honestly say that it was a life-changing experience. I had struggled for years with thyroid disease and feelings of hopelessness that I was never going to feel better until I worked with Fern in Costa Rica. She took such care in guiding me through an individualized healing experience that helped me release emotions and trauma that were causing my body, mind, and spirit to remain blocked and stagnant. Fern showed me how to live a life guided by my own personal light and how this would bring true joy back into my life. She helped me find my voice again and I am so grateful for her. The healing energy of the jungle in Costa Rica is magical and I came back with a true calling to be connected to my inner self and nature. I would highly recommend this beautiful healing journey and I would love to return again!” - Cassandra Dickinson
“Fern was like a divine light guiding me through my retreat in Puerto Viejo! Initially, my fears included not knowing anyone, but Fern graciously included me in her circle of friends and the community. I planned this retreat for myself to see what my life would be like if I chose to move to Costa Rica. This town especially, Puerto Viejo, is magical and sacred. My time here assisted in my healing journey, and opened my heart to new possibilities for the future, all thanks to Fern and her life-giving spirit! She was very supportive throughout the booking process and throughout my trip when I asked for surf & massage recommendations. I would highly recommend exploring with her through the jungle. It’s worth it!” - Elena Tarsiani
“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
“I cannot sincerely thank you enough for truly changing my life. I was so nervous to travel to Costa Rica on my own and to take such a big jump in a healing journey that was solely focused on myself. You were so kind and patient with me through all of my ups and downs. I was so new to thyroid yoga, rituals, and healing in general. I loved learning from you and I felt very safe during our yoga and healing sessions to bless and release the emotions that had been buried inside for so long. Thank you for including me in extra healing experiences and for guiding me each step of the way. Being included in your beautiful studio was one of the highlights of my trip and I can’t wait to continue using this type of movement for healing and release. Your light, beautiful voice, and healing spirit showed me that I am capable of finding freedom again in my life and I have already had such beautiful moments of joy again. I forgot what it felt like to truly live guided by my own light and I am so excited to continue tapping into my younger self to learn more about her. I am so dedicated to this new chapter in my life and I hope we can stay in touch because you have become an angel of hope in my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” - Cassandra Pianetta
"Fern and Maxim create so much divine magic together, they are literally two angels spreading light with their music. Their sound journeys are heavenly and take me into another level of deep inner peace & love. And their live music generates so much tranquility, joy, and higher frequency energy around them, it is so healing and activating! You can really feel that they are creating from deep within their hearts and expressing so purely from their souls, it is such a magical and inspiring experience." - Mollie Lowery
"Tony + I had an amazing time. I’ve been to many sound baths in my life and their music is as potent and as rich in love as I’ve heard. Paring it with the perfect location and cacao is pure bliss. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who has curiosity about cacao, healing through sound, sound baths, relaxation and unique experiences while in Costa Rica! Pure Pura Vida" - Kimberly Zimmerman, founder of Julcy Life, Santa Ynez, California
"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
“What a shower of love and kindness! Fern’s breathwork.. wow I loved the visual of Light coming out of my fingertips connecting me to earth, my hands were totally buzzing with energy. I really enjoyed the butterfly visual, seeing the stress of my responsibilities turn into Beautiful White Butterflies was a nice surprise. Love the idea of using hands up to the sky to connect heaven and earth, that's actually one of my grounding techniques. I have a physical job, so my upper back and neck and shoulders stay pretty tight, but definitely felt some release in the upper back through this experience, and I look forward to many, more!” Pamela Pitts - Sound Baths, Tuning Forks , and Breath Work Facilitator
“This experience was really special. My boyfriend and I went towards the end of our 6 month trip in Costa Rica to celebrate. The cacao was of incredible quality. It’s organic and sourced from the mountains here in Costa Rica. We sipped Cacao while they played (and we joined in chanting) a variety of mantras and hymns. All while looking at the most beautiful view of the ocean. The instruments come from all around the world and the sound experience was something I’ve never heard before. A beautiful experience I recommend for everyone!" - Emily
“Wow! Such a spectacular experience! I feel so calm, centered and present as well as informed on local life in Costa Rica! The music was beautiful and I loved the ceremony! Fern has such a calming presence and voice. I highly recommend, so grateful I came!” - Erin Doppelt, Business Coach
“What a magical experience! I'm so glad I booked this for my bf and I. It was his first time experiencing a cacao ceremony and he was blown away! Such beautiful music, comfortable and inspiring vibes. I enjoyed every minute of this and I can’t wait to come back and hopefully organize another retreat with them with some friends! So much to look forward to!” - Yumuka Hoskin, Entrepreneur & Model, New York City
