Founder Julia Allshouse says Vikara Wellness ‘has been born from divine direction’. Leading and speaking, guiding and embodying itself as wellness teachers and guides to support humanity’s need in empowering itself through holistic wellness modalities. Vikara Wellness is a safe haven where there is a nurturing support system for mental, emotional, and physical health, that empowers people to take responsibility for their well-being in ways that have never been experienced before.
When – non urgent – health issues arise, the solution isn’t to ignore them, or automatically turn to pharmaceutical drugs, but to explore how to maintain your well-being. At these wellness retreats in Mexico, this includes the help of a team of holistic guides who want to learn and connect with who you are, where you have come from, what you have experienced, and how you would like to be supported through holistic wellness.
Does it feel like the time has come for you to allow yourself a full body reset to relax your nervous system?
Vikara Wellness’ Retreats in Mexico hold beautiful sacred spaces for those who are interested in connecting to the voice of their body through therapeutic tremoring to reset their nervous system. Practices include yoga including its philosophy, transformational mentoring, spiritual ceremonies, plant-based meals, eco-adventures, sound healing, deep restful meditations and somatic-based practices.
Their sober retreats have been designed to reset the nervous system, bringing it closer to rest/digest, by working with the physical alchemy of the body. Reducing any cortisol/adrenaline charge that the system may be experiencing, bringing you into homeostasis.
This is a vital part towards balancing the brain/body connection, so you can experience the stressors of life in a more balanced way. Living in a chronically dysregulated state can lead to compromised immunity, poor sleep patterns, challenged digestion, difficulty concentrating, strained relationships and more.
Vikara Wellness’ holistic wellness retreats for nervous system regulation are held in 3 beautiful Mexican locations. Yelapa, Mexico, right outside of Puerto Vallarta, the magic town of Oaxaca, and world famous San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
Their holistic wellness retreats are a synergetic formula of yoga philosophy & ancient yogic practices, transformational coaching, and adventure therapy, with the backbone being rooted in therapeutic tremoring, a somatic based practice that focuses on regulating the nervous system by working to release deep layers of muscular tension due to tension, stress, burn-out, anxiety, PTSD, and the effects of trauma that everyday exercise isn’t able to release.
Vikara Wellness retreats are designed for people to come together in community, who are looking to transform their lives in nature, sober, and with empowerment of holistic wellness. Reviews and testimonials from guests prove the power of these experiences, ranking from ‘life changing’ to ‘the best choice ever made’. You can’t go wrong with this one.

When the nervous system is regulated, the body and mind work much better – digestion, sleep, cognitive function, mood, hormonal balance and ability to manage stress improve. Rē Precision Health was initiated to share information about the nervous system that is foundational to mental and physical wellbeing. The goal was to help people find more freedom and joy in their lives and better understand how their body and brain operate to create more coherence rather than resistance.
Rē Precision Health runs 5 and 10 day science-based retreat programs that combine education and immersive experiences designed to address the physical, mental, emotional, nutritional and existential stresses that affect the nervous system.
Nestled into the stunning backdrop of Nayarit on Mexico’s west coast, the beach town Sayulita offers a special location for Rē Precision Health’s retreats. A place to center, re-connect and regulate.
Programs combine modalities such as QEEG Brain Mapping, Neurofeedback, Heart Rate Variability Training, Gut Healing Protocol, Breathwork, Functional Movement, Yoga, Tension Release Exercises, PEMP & Infrared Therapy, Lymphatic Drainage, Photobiomodulation, Bodywork & a variety of workshops.
The retreats include an anti-inflammatory diet to introduce nutrition based gut healing, making it easy to follow protocol long-term as part of a healthier lifestyle.
Cooking classes give inspiration and ensure these changes are not only healthy, but also enjoyable and filled with pleasure.
Another special part of the program is the traditional Temazcal – the indigenous sweat lodge holds incredible cleansing powers and is a must experience in Mexico.
Over the course of 5 or 10 days, guests reconnect with their bodies and intuition through different somatic practices and treatments – allowing for the nervous system to rebalance, and the mind to clear.
Rē Precision Health’s retreats in Mexico (and Portugal) receive raving reviews, with guests returning and claiming that the information and practices received were truly life changing and an investment that reaps returns in all areas of life.
If you are looking to reset your nervous system, heal, regain clarity and balance, these are our top places to do so. Sourcing from heaps of experience, the programs – combined with the surroundings of a country that truly breathes life – promise reconnection with body, mind, and self. Experiences that hold the power to be truly life-changing.
