About this Retreat
HI! I’m Franca
I grew up in the lush beaches of the Dominican Republic and throughout my life learned different spiritual and holistic modalities, such as: Holistic Nutrition, Ayurvedic Nutrition for Pregnancy, Vinyasa Yoga, Thyroid Yoga, Fertility Yoga, Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Meditation, Bach Flower Therapy, Reiki, and more!
I have seen how the power of yoga, nutrition, meditation, chanting, earthing, rituals and energy work keep us healthy and vibrant.
I am now located in the jungle of Costa Rica, mother of a beautiful girl. I love to nourish, guide and empower women into taking charge of their health and body with all the amazing healing tools I have learned throughout my life path.
With a deep commitment to practices like sound therapy, hang instruments, sound baths, and healing journeys, Melinda is dedicated to helping individuals discover their path to a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Informed by neuroscience, she blends brain science and embodied practices to support cognitive clarity, emotional balance, and resilience. A visionary in this space, she elevates performance and well-being through the nervous system’s intelligence.
Details of this retreat
Three years ago, Costa Rica awakened something deep within Melinda Palomino. It was a quiet call back to rhythm, breath, and belonging. Now, she co-creates this retreat alongside Franca Garimani, a gifted holistic guide who walks in deep relationship with this land and Sophie Hascher, a neuroscientist who uses cutting-edge neurofeedback and brain mapping to reveal how our brain’s natural rhythms mirror our inner state.
