💫🌿 “The Version of Me Who Came Back From Tulum”

In the picture on the left, I was going through a stage of my life where I was carrying so many things; doubts, emotions, situations that weighed on me, and a version of myself that, even though I smiled and kept moving forward, deep down knew I needed a change.

The woman in the picture on the right isn’t simply a “thinner” or more dressed-up version of the woman on the left.

She is a woman who has lived through things.

A woman who has cried. A woman who has had days where she didn’t know what to do. A woman who had to let go of things she deeply wanted. A woman who had to learn that not everything you love is meant to stay.

After Tulum, so many things changed. My job changed. My goals changed. The way I saw myself changed. The way I thought about love, my future, and what I truly wanted for my life changed. And I’m still a work in progress.

But when I look at these two pictures, I don’t just see a physical transformation.

I see growth ❤️

I see a woman who went on a trip without realizing she was about to enter a completely new chapter of her life and came back determined to become the woman she had always wanted to be.

Tulum didn’t change my life by itself.
Tulum reminded me that I had the power to change it 🌴🤍

And maybe that was the greatest gift that trip gave me. ✨

18 years in Miami. 10 years running a business in Doral.
And everyone still assumes I’m Venezuelan.
Honestly, I don’t blame you. Where do you think I’m from? 👇

Y todo el mundo sigue pensando que soy venezolana.
La verdad, no los culpo. ¿De dónde creen que soy? 👇

Coach on the mic = no one’s safe 😅 “I’m not gonna give you all the juice” but I’ll give you this much.

This is a Hyrox pro-level small group personal training. Some athletes need “yes, bitch, let’s go.” Others need “you got this.”

It’s not just about getting louder. It’s catching the small stuff too; pacing, breathing, form breaking down before it becomes an injury. Pushing hard and coaching smart aren’t opposites, they’re the same skill.

Just finished all my HYROX coaching certifications, and sessions like this are exactly why it matters.

HYROX small group training Thursday 7:15am and Friday 9:30am — DM to join.

when you’ve been through something real together; you don’t need to say much afterward.

you just stand in it. present. together. grateful for the exact path that led you to that spot 💫🌿

this photo was taken right after our Temazcal experience and what you see on every face is the same thing. presence. the full weight of a moment that made every step worth it.

creating moments like this is our purpose. it always has been. 

and we are so grateful to be the ones who get to build that space for you. 

every woman in this photo said yes before she knew what she was saying yes to. 

could that be you? OMETEOTL 💫

some experiences aren’t meant to be fully shared.

what happened inside that temazcal stays with the women who were in it. the words, the affirmations, the intentions spoken out loud in the dark, in the heat, in a space built by hand by a shaman who has held ceremony longer than any of us have been seeking 🌿💨

but before any of that could happen, these women had to trust us.

trust that we would never put them in a space that wasn’t safe, intentional, and worth every moment of uncertainty on the way there. they gave us that trust. and the temazcal gave them everything 🤍

this is what The Ground Retreats is built to facilitate. not just beautiful experiences but also the ones that ask the most of you. held by people who take that responsibility seriously.

would you have followed us there? 💬

It always feels impossible to take a few days for yourself. Work doesn’t stop. Home doesn’t stop. Everyone needs something from you, and somewhere in there, you stopped being on that list. Society trained us that way,  put everything and everyone first, worry about yourself later.

But what is 4 days, really, in the span of an entire life?

The Ground started because I needed it first.

Coming back to yourself isn’t just stillness. It’s a real conversation instead of a text. It’s sitting at a table with people instead of scrolling next to them. 

It’s stepping into somewhere unfamiliar; a different culture, different food, different rhythm of life and letting it show you something you couldn’t see from home.

Four days of silence you didn’t know you needed. Lessons that make your heart feel lighter and fuller at the same time. The kind of peace where you can finally pause and think about where your life is actually headed, instead of just reacting to what’s in front of you.

This is what it looked like that day. Nothing complicated. Just present.
Sedona, November 12–15. Come find your way back too.

Every Sunday PIT HYROX — and it’s for everyone. Beginner or pro, doesn’t matter.

You’re going to feel it all: the leg burn, the lactic build-up, the point where your threshold gets tested and you push past it anyway. That’s what HYROX is. 

We also just changed the entire turf setup today — built for a better experience with all our new programs. See you there.

Small group HYROX training starts Thursday at 7am next week, and Saturdays at 8:30am beginning August 29th — DM to reserve your spot!
