Hi, I’m Bri and I’m happy you’re here
Thanks for getting to know me and the story I never could have even dreamed would unfold…
Today, I find myself in what feels like a magical world away, leading life-changing health and wellness retreats in Costa Rica, and living out a purpose that was born from my own journey of growth, healing and rediscovery.
As the founder of Full Body Breakthrough, my passion is helping women step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with themselves to fully reset and restore their mind, body and soul through movement, nourishing whole foods, adventure, meaningful connection and deep healing.
But more than anything, I consider myself a student of this messy, magical, chaotic and incredibly powerful life…
My own path hasn’t been perfectly planned or beautifully linear. It has stretched me, surprised me, broken me, and taught me more than I ever expected… and somewhere through all of it, it lead me here. To Costa Rica, to this work, to these retreats. To creating a space where other women can experience their own powerful breakthrough.
Life has been nothing short of wild, and I know the best parts are still unfolding…
I was born into a family of workers, real GO GETTERS. Naturally, I became one too.
A South Florida internship at a fashion house, turned into a career, and I was determined to impress, work harder and climb the corporate ladder… until I wasn't.
I walked away and went on to build a multi million dollar business with my husband.
Then came years of around-the-clock hustle. An intense fitness hobby. Eventually two children, three dogs, and a life that looked like semi-organized, high-stress chaos for far longer than I’d like to admit.
Self care? Absolutely last on my list.
Healing? What does that even mean?
Inner, deep, personal work to unpack trauma and actually deal with the things beneath the surface?
YOU LOST ME. I didn’t have time for that. I was busy. I was productive. I was getting things done. Slowing down long enough to take care of ME certainly wasn’t part of the plan.
The old me would have NEVER considered attending a retreat, let alone HOSTING ONE. And yet, here we are!
THE GRIND
Somehow all of those years of entrepreneurial grind led to a sale beyond our wildest dreams, giving us the opportunity to do something equally wild.
We uprooted our lives, packed up our children, and moved to Costa Rica in search of something different: a slower pace, more presence, more peace.
We thought we were leaving the chaos behind, but life had other plans. Things did not get slower, in fact, the wild was only beginning.
Investment hardships, a terminally ill parent, immense grief and unimagineable loss. Life continued to challenge us in ways I never saw coming. Yet, woven into some of the hardest seasons of my life were some of the most beautiful lessons. Lessons about surrender. About presence. About what actually matters. About how little we control, and how much can change when we finally stop trying to control it all.
Costa Rica may have been the place we moved to for a different life, but it ultimately became the place where I began to become different too.
THE MOVE
I always knew I didn't know it all, I quickly realized I didn't actually have it all, and I was FAR from at peace with myself.
Instead, I was wanting to RUN, and often, I DID.
Yet somewhere along the journey, over these both physically and emotionally draining years, I discovered exactly what was meant for me.
THE AWAKENING
I KNEW I HAD TO SHARE
And thus, Full Body Breakthrough ❤ Bri was born.
I have created a safe container where women can come and stay, feel entirely renewed and revitalized, and experience a true home away from home. With space to take and feel every breath, you will completely reset the mind and body, from an often, constant, fight or flight.
Adventure and exploration of this deeply beautiful country mix with powerful movement, real wholesome food, and restorative healing measures that are gently incorporated, so nothing ever feels overwhelming.
Each retreat touches me as much as it touches YOU!
