Choose the setting that feels most supportive for the chapter you’re stepping into.
Why join me in Costa Rica…🌿
There is something powerful about resetting your life in a place built for longevity, clarity, and deep presence.
Guanacaste — the region I call home — is part of the world-renowned Blue Zone, one of the rare places where people live longer, healthier, more connected lives.
There’s a natural, unhurried rhythm here that softens your nervous system the moment you arrive. It’s not performative wellness — it’s woven into the land, the culture, the way the day moves.
The in-person Reset Experience is held inside this energy.
Imagine:
warm Pacific breezes moving through the trees
golden light at sunset
the peaceful, nourishing pace that Costa Rica is known for
being supported by the jungle & ocean
This is the perfect environment for clarity to land — not rushed, not forced, but revealed.
Your Private Immersion Includes:
A deeply intentional 4-hour session held in a private, serene space
Time to slow down, settle your body, and listen to what’s true
A feminine, intuitive process that supports both vision and strategy
Focused magic to amplify your impact and realign your next chapter
We are available to help with your stay.
For women traveling in, we offer light support with offering suggestions for:
Lodging recommendations depending on your style (luxury, boutique, nature-based)
Airport guidance + local transportation options
Best places to eat, relax, and weave in downtime
Optional add-ons like bodywork, energy healing, breathwork, or ocean experiences

This isn’t just a session — it’s a reset held in one of the most naturally restorative places on earth. You arrive, exhale, and let the land do half the work.

What Clients Are Saying
“Mary both challenged and supported me and I am coming out of this feeling more clear and confident in my goals and life direction.”
“I started our journey not really sure what I wanted to do and stuck in a rut and am finishing this journey feeling courageous, confident and clear on my goals and path, both professionally and personally. Mary creates a supportive environment to allow you to dream big and provides tangible skills and steps to turn these big dreams into realities. She will also challenge you, which is necessary during those times when your old self is telling you “You can’t do this” or “I’m too busy to make this change.” This has been one of the best investments I have made in myself and recommend Mary’s coaching to anyone looking to produce changes in their lives.”
“Mary has an unshakably loving presence that enables deep reflection. Her acceptance is the very thing that deeply challenges clients to look within and acknowledge what's really going on.”
“Thanks to Mary I'm pursuing my passion for art, writing and dance in a way that I previously couldn't have imagined (about to hold my first exhibition and writing a book). And perhaps most importantly, I now have the ability to hold courageous conversations with loved ones - in a way that constantly creates deeper connection, greater healing and more transformation in my life.”
And much more…
Why Reflection & Planning Are Essential for Women Who Lead
A research-backed case for The Reset Experience
Modern leadership requires clarity, emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, and the ability to stay grounded in the midst of complexity. Yet most women leaders rarely have protected space to pause, reflect, and realign.
The research is clear:
Reflection + intentional planning are foundational to impactful, sustainable leadership.
Here’s what the evidence shows:
1. Reflection Strengthens Self-Awareness — the Core of Leadership
Harvard Business School’s research on reflective leadership (N. Riggs, “The Importance of Reflective Leadership”) finds that leaders who take time to reflect develop stronger self-awareness, clearer judgment, and more authentic influence.
Forbes writer Naz Beheshti (“How a Daily Self-Reflection Practice Improves Leadership Performance”) similarly shows that reflective leaders make better decisions and lead with greater intentionality.
Why it matters:
Self-aware leaders create alignment, communicate clearly, and act from grounded confidence.
2. Reflection Turns Experience Into Learning
A 2024 leadership development paper by Chiarelli (“The Use of Reflection as an Effective Leadership Practice”) highlights that reflection transforms everyday experience into meaningful insight — preventing leaders from repeating old patterns and helping them evolve more intentionally.
Why it matters:
Reflection helps you release what no longer fits, integrate lessons, and step into a new chapter with clarity.
3. Vision + Strategy Rooted in Reflection Improves Outcomes
A well-cited review in Public Administration Review (George et al., “Does Strategic Planning Improve Organizational Performance?”) found that leaders who plan from a place of clarity — not urgency — significantly outperform those who operate reactively.
Why it matters:
Intentional planning is the bridge between clarity and results.
4. Reflective Leaders Create Greater Positive Impact
A 2023 strategic leadership analysis (Singh, Journal of Strategic Management) highlights that in rapidly changing environments, reflective leaders are more adaptive, empathetic, and effective at motivating teams.
Why it matters:
When you are grounded and clear, your impact amplifies — personally and professionally.
5. Women Leaders Thrive With Protected Space to Reflect
Studies on leadership well-being (Samul, “Self-Reflection in Leadership,” 2024) show that women who engage in reflective practices experience higher fulfillment, stronger identity alignment, and more meaningful career paths.
Why it matters:
When women carve out space to hear themselves, everything changes — their leadership, creativity, energy, and influence.
Why The Reset Experience Works
The Reset Experience brings together what these studies reinforce:
leaders need intentional space to reflect, realign, and plan from truth — not pressure.
In this private 4-hour immersion, you receive:
Protected space for deep reflection
Clarity on your next chapter
A vision that feels true and grounded
A strategic plan for 2026
A reconnection to your power, purpose, and direction
This work is more than leadership development.
It’s a return to yourself — and the kind of clarity that elevates your impact in the world.
