If you’re a retreat leader who’s craving a location that stirs the soul and sparks serious inspiration—but you don’t have time to spend weeks researching and vetting it all yourself—this journey is for you.
San Miguel de Allende is not only stunning in sight and spirit—it’s said to be built on a bed of rose quartz. You’ll feel it the moment you arrive.
Join us for this guided discovery tour and you won’t just see San Miguel—you’ll experience it like a retreat guest would. You’ll walk away with a ready-to-use sales page, a trusted vendor directory, and the clarity and confidence to design a retreat that sells and truly serves.
You’ll wake in a sun-drenched villa, sipping fresh coffee on the rooftop as church bells echo through the historic heart of San Miguel. The streets below shimmer with possibility—each alley, each doorway hinting at the kinds of spaces where your future retreats could unfold.
As you explore cobblestone streets and vibrant artisan markets, you’re not just soaking up the charm—you’re taking notes, mentally mapping out immersive, hands-on moments for YOUR guests. You picture them journaling in a secret garden, dancing in a rooftop studio, or connecting over handmade tortillas with a local chef.
That evening, you raise a glass at a rooftop restaurant overlooking the iconic Parroquia. The food, the view, the company—it all clicks. You didn’t just find a beautiful city. You found a city built for transformation.
Welcome to San Miguel de Allende. Let’s design your retreat from the inside out.

That’s why I’ve done it for you. We’ve curated venues, villas, partners, instructors, and experiences so that your time in San Miguel is strategic—not just scenic.
As you explore the city, you’re not just falling in love with the colors and textures—you’re evaluating them. You're standing in sunlit yoga studios with rooftop views, watching live demos in artisan workshops, and tasting menus in hidden-gem restaurants. You’re not imagining it—you’re experiencing the retreat you’ll eventually host, from your guest’s perspective.
This isn’t another cookie-cutter retreat destination. San Miguel is layered with culture, creativity, and calm. We’ll take you beyond the obvious to show you the corners that matter—the soulful spots that elevate an experience from good to transformational.
And you won’t be alone. Along the way, you’ll meet the very people who can bring your retreat to life—vetted chefs, transport teams, healing practitioners, yoga instructors, and local hosts—so you don’t have to gamble on Google searches later.
Finally, you’ll walk away with more than ideas. You’ll get a customizable, done-for-you retreat sales page template created for San Miguel—so you can start marketing right away with clarity, confidence, and copy that actually converts.

When I was 22 years old, an astrologer studied my chart and exclaimed, “Oh, my! You’re going to be known for excelling at all kinds of things! You’ll need a business card for this specialty, a business card for that specialty…” Her words couldn’t have been more accurate. Over the years, I’ve embraced a life of exploration and achievement, proving that with passion and focus, we can excel in ways we never imagined.
I’m passionate about the life I’ve crafted for myself, and I love helping others embrace the courage to create the lives they know they were born to live. Empowering people to break through their perceived limitations and step boldly into their potential is at the heart of everything I do.
Professionally, I’m known as a dynamic instructor and workshop presenter, with a career that has taken me across all 50 states, to prestigious universities, and even to the White House, where I’ve had the privilege of sharing my insights with staff.
My journey as a serial entrepreneur has been as varied as it is fulfilling. I’ve built multiple businesses, including GoNaked Travels, a men’s clothing-optional travel group that combines adventure, connection, and personal growth in unique and meaningful ways. Along the way, I’ve coached individuals to redefine their success, reminding them that “success does not have a timeline.”
Through my work, I’m dedicated to helping others see that their potential is limitless—and that their unique path to success is worth pursuing.
