About Us
Nimbu means water in Chorotega, and when I'm in the water that's when I feel most alive.

Hello, I am Gabriela, Nimbu Retreats Founder, last year I was feeling merely surviving, yearning to break free from my current state, trapped and harming myself without even realizing it. Despite achieving many dreams and meeting society's expectations, I found myself in a hollow place with no way out unless I took action.
​
Seeking help through therapy and friendships often left me feeling more isolated. But one pivotal moment changed everything—a friend opened up about her struggles, and I couldn't let her face them alone, like I was doing. I realized no one had extended that lifeline to me when I needed it most.
​
From this understanding, Nimbu Retreats was born. We know the importance of support during those overwhelming times when no one seems to understand or just the desire to disconnect for a while and open up to new experiences. Nimbu offers a space to pause, recharge, and renew. To receive answers that comes from stillness and breathless moments, explore holistic therapies that invigorate you, and join a community of like-minded women where judgment has no place.
​
As they say, the sea cures everything, and I have found my place in the sea, just smelling it, looking at it, swimming in it recharges me and fills me with positive energy. Whether it's the water, sunsets, a yoga class, a genuine conversation or a sound journey session, I'm sure that during your time at Nimbu, you will manage to reconnect with your essence and recharge your strength to live your life in a happier and healthier way, like I am still learning to do. Let me share this paradise with you!
