MEET YOUR GUIDE
Neuroscience-based Coach, NLP Practitioner and Retreat Creator, based in Costa Rica. I combine science, nature and adventure to help you transform your mind and create a life of freedom, purpose and alignment.
BASED IN
COSTA RICA
MY STORY
I spent years working in high-performance environments, genuinely loving the intellectual challenge while quietly burning out. I had every marker of “success” and was progressively more disconnected from anything that actually mattered to me.
Something happens when you spend real time in a living, biodiverse jungle. Your nervous system recalibrates. Your sense of priority reorders itself without effort. The silence isn’t uncomfortable — it’s clarifying.
I trained in neuroscience and coaching to understand why the experience had been so powerful. I returned to Costa Rica. I built Tropical Minds because I couldn’t not — and because I wanted to create for others what the jungle had created for me.

VALUES & MISSION
Depth over performance
Real change happens below the surface. We’re not interested in productivity hacks — we go where the actual work is.
Nature as teacher
We believe the natural world is the most sophisticated learning environment that exists. Every session and retreat honours this.
Science without jargon
The neuroscience is real, the research is cited, and we explain it plainly. You should understand the why of everything we do.
Honest partnership
This isn’t about telling you what you want to hear. It’s about being the thinking partner who can hold the full truth of your situation with you.
