YOURÂ RETREAT LEADERÂ
Elisabeth Joy
Retreat Founder, Curator &Â Mindfulness CoachÂ
I am so pleased you are here and considering a retreat in Costa Rica with me.
I’ve spent over 20 years working in the field of women’s health, wellness, and self-care. I founded Fit4You in 2000 to help women feel strong and empowered in their bodies. After presenting at international conferences and teaching health and fitness professionals for two decades, I shifted my focus to supporting women through separation and divorce.
To serve you better, I’ve become Reiki attuned and certified as well as a Breath and Meditation Coach with Escape Haven, earned an Energy Healing Certificate from the Academy of Energy Healing, and completed Restorative Yoga teacher training at Sarovara Yoga.
I believe every woman can heal herself and create the life she deserves, beginning with self-care, self-discovery, and self-love. This philosophy is at the heart of the Rising Moon Sisters Retreats, which I currently run in Costa Rica, Europe, and Canada.
My open-mindedness, flexibility, and passion have supported and inspired thousands of women through coaching, memberships, online courses, and retreats.
I’m a proud mother of four adult sons, remarried to Glen, and a stepmom to three. I’m also the happy mom of my forever puppy, Finnigan. My favourite pastimes include spiritual practices, yoga, continuous learning, reading, mountain biking, skiing, spending time with family and friends, and watching the sun and moon rise and set.
I can’t wait to take you on a life-changing journey at this or one of my other upcoming retreats.
Yours in healing and light,
Elisabeth xo
Why I Do This
“The Rising Moon Sisters Retreats were started because I deeply believe everyone not only deserves, but needs a chance to step back, reset, and rediscover their inner joy and peace.
It’s my mission to guide you on this journey with intention, care, and love.”
"The lightness I felt by day 3 I still can't describe. My shoulder tension was gone, and I was being my silly fun self again. I learned to love me, respect me and put me first. I got my confidence back. The ladies helped me realize I am a caring person. I truly was able to relax and enjoy making new friendships, take in the beautiful surroundings and oh my gosh, I ate so much food.."
— JANELLE F.
"Attending the Rising Moon Sisters retreat was an amazing experience. The beautiful setting and expert guidance from the leaders allowed me to reconnect with my body, mind and spirit.

What's not Included
"This retreat was absolutely awesome and will go down for me as a week to cherish and to remember forever. There were so many moments throughout the week that touched into parts of me that I’ve experienced before but that needed some gentle prodding. And there were so many new discoveries that I have much gratitude for discovering in the company of other women who brought their own vulnerability.
Your support and leadership this week were gifts that created the space necessary to open up to my own vulnerability in the presence of these women.
You clearly have a passion to channel messages of self love and self worth and lots of other wellness layers to others and I was fortunate to be one of those people in your presence."

It starts before it starts!!Â
We highly recommend you stay in a hotel (not included, but we will arrange) close to the airport (San Jose) on the Friday night to avoid any weather and travel delays interfering with your arrival at the retreat.
Your retreat arrival day is all planned..
- You will be picked up at your hotel in San Jose around 9-9:30am in a comfortable air conditioned shuttle for a beautiful drive along the coast to our Retreat Centre. This is included.
- First stop is the famous Crocodile Bridge. See giant crocs in their natural habitat from a safe distance.
- Next stop is a gorgeous beach and your first moments standing on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Enjoy a coconut beverage and a lovely lunch at a cute beach front restaurant.
- Last stop is the little village of Dominical which is a town close to the retreat centre. We will be going there again so this is a great chance to take note of favourite stores...
- Arrive at the Retreat Centre in the afternoon having already had a wonderful and adventurous day and we haven't even started yet!
-
I will be like a kid waiting for Christmas awaiting your arrival and we will have a quiet afternoon unpacking, going for a dip in the pool and getting settled followed by dinner and our opening circle.Â
