THE RETREAT COSTA RICA INTRODUCES A NEW SEXUAL AWARENESS PROGRAM TO ENHANCE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF SEX AND INTIMACY

Five-Night Minimum Stay to Help Nurture Self-Love and Holistic Well-Being

COSTA RICA — The Retreat Costa Rica, a luxury wellness boutique resort located in the rain forest near the picturesque village of Atenas, announces its latest offering: “Sensual Awakening.” Designed to enhance sexual wellness while feeling pleasure and connection to the body’s wants, needs, and desires, as well as opening to a deeper connection with one’s partner, this five-night minimum stay package incorporates a curated selection of treatments and activities to nourish the body, mind, and spirit.

Diana Stobo, celebrity chef, bestselling author, health and wellness life coach, and founder of The Retreat Costa Rica, emphasizes the importance of sexual wellness as an integral part of overall health. “Sexual wellness is a vital aspect of our physical and emotional health, yet it is often overlooked,” Stobo explains. “Healthy sexuality can support the immune system, improve sleep, build trust, and reduce stress. That’s why we designed Sensual Awakening — to bring this essential component into focus, helping guests reconnect with themselves or their partners on a deeper level.”

The complete Sensual Awakening package at The Retreat Costa Rica includes:

• A 30-minute welcome consultation to discuss emotional triggers and process any blockages to ultimate pleasure.
• A curated wellness diet that releases toxic overload inhibiting sensitivity receptors.

Physical and mental exercises to increase circulation and energy balance to include:

• Morning and afternoon movement, meditation and yoga practice to help stretch fascia, ignite lymphatic flow, reduce inflammation and stimulate arousal and desire.
• Self-guided mountain exploration that grounds, connects nature and self, tones muscles and absorbs negative ions.

Healing spa treatments to increase sexual awareness by feeling pleasure and connection to one’s own body:

• Heart-Opening Deep Tissue Massage: “Opening the body will open the heart, and from there, everything aligns.” This 60-minute therapy triggers the release of the “love hormone” oxytocin and ignites serotonin levels to boost sensitivity and deepen connection.
• Self-Love Crystal Therapy: This 60-minute treatment features a garnet stone scrub to remove negative emotional scars and support emotional healing. This is followed by a Vichy crystal water-infused massage and application of garnet oil to increase one’s ability to manifest desires and connect with one’s true passions.
• Shankara Ayurvedic Chakra Balancing Treatment: This 90-minute treatment begins with anointing sacred Shankara oils and soothing chimes. Chakra-balancing oils and an Ayurvedic Kansa wand create openness and flow. Next is an Abhyanga massage with customized oils and stones for balance and clarity. The treatment finishes with a relaxing scalp massage and foot treatment.

Practices and support for continued heart opening and sexual arousal:

• Sound Healing Therapy: A 60-minute tranquil sound infusion releases emotional blockages and promotes self-awareness, aiding in the pursuit of a healthier and more fulfilling sexual life.

• Couples Massage: 60-minute massage therapy to create a unique connection between partners.
