Five days at the edge of the Pacific to shed what isn't yours — and step into everything that is.
Bookings close October 1, 2026
You Arrive As
You've worked hard. You feel blessed and grateful. But you sense that in some ways, you are out of alignment. You've been carrying stories and fears and old beliefs that are holding you back — and you're ready to set them down.
You Leave As
Maybe it's about creating more honest relationships. Maybe it's about pursuing work that enlivens rather than depletes. Whatever that looks like for you — you leave with the clarity, courage, and energy to go get it.
"The value isn't in the vacation. It's in the breakthrough."
What We'll Do Together
Alive & Aligned isn't a spa. There are thousands of those. What makes this different is the coaching at the center of it. Chelsea and Hala will hold space for you to get honest about what stories and fears are running your life — and help you dismantle them, gently and completely, through workshops, live coaching, breathwork, and conversation that actually goes somewhere.
The Work
Intensive breathwork journeys go beyond the thinking mind — into the body, into the nervous system, into the places where the old stories actually live. Chelsea's breathwork practice is expansive, safe, and genuinely transformative. Many women describe their sessions as the most profound experiences of their lives.
No prior experience needed — sessions are fully guided and beginner-friendly. We do ask participants to share any relevant health information before arrival. A simple intake form is sent upon booking.
The Container
You'll stay in Casa Amixtli — a beachfront private home near Zihuatanejo on Mexico's Pacific coast in the MUSA development. Healthy, fresh local food prepared by a private chef. Rest time built into every day. Optional massages. The natural beauty of the place does its own work — it opens you before the programming even begins.
The Setting
Fly into ZIH, a 3.5-hour nonstop flight from LAX. A short, easy ride from the airport brings you to MUSA, where your casa awaits. MUSA lies on 177 acres of raw coastline in Guerrero, Mexico. From the moment you step on the sand here, your nervous system begins to unwind — making space for rest and inspiration.
