Hi! I’m Itzel, The Rainbow Goddess! I am so excited to share this adventure with you! 

 

I have been a vegan chef specializing in nourishing vegan food that is beautifully colorful and full of flavor! I will be creating delicious breakfasts, snacks and dinners for you using native ingredients and an innovative flare! All of your senses will be tantalized! In addition, I will teach you how to create unique dishes with what’s available no matter where you are. 

 

You will also get to relax, center and ground with my easy going morning yoga. Yoga is a practice that can be applied in every moment using breath and awareness. No need to be super fit or flexible, all you need is your presence to participate. 

 

I am super passionate about defining visions and creating tangible action plans for myself and facilitating others in doing so. We will embark on a journey together to unveil our highest desires and explore how we can get into action to achieve them. 

 

Last but not least, we will step into our child-like wonder as we explore the natural and cultural gems Merida has to offer. 

 

I promise you will leave the retreat feeling totally nourished, full of love and enthusiasm for life!

Hi my name is Jessica Zandvliet and my passion has always been happiness!

 

After a decade and a half of research, training and practice I have cultivated amazing insights that I would love to share with all of you. I can identify what is standing in your way and how to clear it using one or more of the healing modalities that I have been trained in. I have learned many of the different traps society and ourselves have created for us and how to navigate out of them. Let me teach you some practical tools for releasing stress, moving through triggers, letting go of fears/anxieties and connecting with your innate power for self-healing. With this you can create everything that you have envisioned for yourself and your life!

One-On-One Healing Modalities By Jessica Zandvliet:

  • PSYCH-K® “is a simple, yet powerful process to change subconscious beliefs that are self-limiting and self-sabotaging.” The sessions are about 30 minutes and will be targeting the most pressing negative subconscious belief for the client. ($111/ session)

 

  • Resonance Repatterning® “uses your own subconscious to discover unconscious blocks that keep you stuck in unwanted life patterns, a process designed to clear away old beliefs, behaviors and negative emotions that create limitations in your life.” Sessions take about 50-90 minutes, where we dive deep to discover the internal programs that no longer serve you and we install new patterns that are coherent and allow you to get all that you want. ($222/ session) 

 

  • Reconnective Healing® is energy healing that combines the higher wisdom of the client, the practitioner and the universe. Individuals have experienced immediate relief from physical pain, illness, and psychological distress. It is about 30 minutes. ($99/ session)
