TESTIMONIALS
"The Portal Conscious Couples retreat was transformational, to say the least. I had very little self-love and felt I was unworthy of love and self respect from trauma I was carrying from the past. I left The Portal feeling like a new person. It's one thing to hear someone tell you that you are worthy of love and valuable, it's another thing entirely to actually believe it within yourself. Self-love is something that I didn't understand before this adventure, but now I can actually say that I am full of self-love and can let go of things that no longer serve me.
I was exhausted at the end of each day because I was fully invested in each session. Being vulnerable and honest is emotionally draining, but I would have paid twice as much as I did for the transformation I experienced.
We both came out at the other side with more understanding of ourselves and each other, with tools to bring home for continued success. Alyee and her spiritual guides are the very best in their fields of expertise. Knowledgeable, caring and we could never have felt more safe and secure to explore and heal past and present traumas and to find hope for our fractured relationship.
The very best gift you could ever give yourself and your partner."

"My experience at The Portal started before I arrived. Alyee and I had a phone call. Afterwards, I knew that it was meant to be.
Fast forward to the retreat itself… it was more than a retreat. It was a mind-blowing, life-changing experience. I hadn’t felt that sense of peace in so long. The tears flowed until I didn’t think I could release anymore. Alyee and her staff led me to the depths of my inner core, where I was eager to continue seeking everything available for me at The Portal.
As I released old emotions and limiting beliefs, I began to align with what was serving me versus what was hurting me and holding me back from living my best life. Saying “I love you” to myself for the first time EVER was only ONE of the amazing moments that occurred during my visit. I truly had a spiritual awakening, as I was able to transform and grow through a powerful source greater than myself. I always knew it was there, but witnessing my body access sources in uncharted waters was an incredible affirmation of trust in the universe.
Alyee made me feel like I was her only client at every moment while holding insurmountable love and insight. This seemed like a dream, with the expansive views, high vibrational environment, and delicious nourishing food curated just for me. I want to thank Taryn, Michael, Jamie, and Alyee for helping to reset my entire nervous system and sense of self so I can begin my journey as I integrate into the real world. I’m still in awe and so grateful that I was able to find Alyee and The Portal."

"My husband and I unplugged from the world and plugged into The Portal Costa Rica for a customized off-the-grid retreat experience of a life time! Alyee and her gifted Team at The Portal Costa Rica embraced and held us as we took a magical leap into a beautifully curated spiritual couples retreat for my birthday. Our well-appointed casita overlooked the ocean and was tucked away on a mountain in the pristine jungle.
The workshops, ceremonies, experiences and culinary delights all combined to spark energetic flow, connection and deeper love…allowing us to explore, heal, and awaken to our best selves. This was truly a sliding door moment in our lives, walking into the next phased of our Twin Flame journey together in such a beautiful and fulfilling way.
Thank you to Alyee and The Portal for sharing your gifts and for helping us up-level our relationships with each other, with ourselves and with the universe. We have so much gratitude for you!"

"After The Portal couples retreat, I feel like I've found my center, my inner peace, my light, and my wisdom again. The retreat was one of the most eye-opening, soul healing, and rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. I felt safe, loved, and at peace on The Portal mountain top. The seclusion of this wonderful sacred and blessed land truly allows you to sit in a place of sacred silence and heal without all the outside influences.
My husband and I were having trust issues with certain vices and addictions we both had yet were unable to quit and break. We were self sabotaging ourselves and using what the other person was doing as an excuse to scratch our itch. It created dark demons and was beginning to create major resentment. I was at the point where I was literally going to throw in the towel right before the trip, but I held strong and went. I am so glad I didn’t give up on us as a couple because we did a complete 360 from where we were, to when we left The Portal. We gained knowledge and tools through workshops and exercises, learned how to speak in a healthy way to each other, and more importantly how to trust again. It’s been just over a month since the retreat, and I can tell you even our close family members see the changes. The air is lighter and feelings of love are stronger in our home after experiencing The Portal.
Alyee is intuitive, caring, focused, fun, clear of expectations, and set an atmosphere of unconditional love and trust. The yoga on the deck in the morning was wonderful, the jungle surrounding us was magical and definitely aided in the ability to clear things with nature. The casita accommodation was just right and allowed a nice area to reflect and relax after a long day of healing.
We also decided to continue with The Portal Integration after the retreat, which I can’t express enough to DO!! The accountability it provides you when you go back home and things really start to heal is totally necessary.
You won’t regret this retreat, and you will come out on the other side confident, loving, and so full of light and love that you will explode. We thank Alyee and her spiritual helpers so much for this groundbreaking event in our lives."

"Spending time at the Portal was one of the most transformative and healing experiences I’ve ever had in my life and it is the best decision I took. Huge shoutout to Alyee, Michael, Astara, Taryn and Jamie for making the experience so deep, profound and transformative!! The Portal is on a mountaintop that is stunning, beautiful, energetic and peaceful. Sukha is a powerful and healing soul. She understands the emotions and energy of the people around her very deeply and she embodies a very calming spirit. I had never touched a dog before The Portal, because of a trauma when I was a child. Within 24 hours of being with her, I wanted to be around her all the time; her healing for me was exponential in confronting my childhood fears, with animals and with others.
From facing a tough childhood and after multiple traumatic events, I was searching for deep healing, a transformative and spiritual experience to have a life breakthrough. I have always felt disconnected within and was searching for a baseline, a reference point in life that I can look back to when things got challenging and remember what a blissful and wonderful life that is possible for me. The Portal gave me that baseline. From not believing much in energy, I felt the connection between my mind, body, and soul. I felt the energy around me, as well as the energy I receive and transmit, and for the very first time, I managed to release and heal unprocessed and repressed emotions and feelings that I have been accumulating throughout my entire life!
Every tunnel has a light in the end and The Portal was the light in my life- it opened my eyes, pulled me out of the darkness and gave me a baseline for living.
The Portal is a beautiful place that offered me so much more than I expected. The place has an incredible aura and energy along with the kindest and caring souls I have ever met in my life. Everyone made me feel at home and it was very difficult to say goodbye to the souls and The Portal land itself. From five star healthy food options to a carefully curated personalized program, Alyee and her amazing team put their heart and soul into their work and each day was a unique and healing experience working on mind, body, soul and spirit.
I still relish the beautiful memories during my time there and I’m forever grateful and indebted to the authentic, kind and loving souls at The Portal."

"My wife and I recently spent a magical six days atop a mountain in Costa Rica at The Portal. You should do the same.
Originally, my aim was simply to find a fun destination for my wife’s birthday. I didn’t really have any criteria in mind. Just fun. And warm. After sifting through many non-options, I landed on this place called The Portal. Online, it seemed different. Turns out, it IS different.
Alyee has produced a beautiful environment: the accommodations are gorgeous and the views of Costa Rica’s Pacific Coast are truly jaw-dropping, especially when thundershowers roll in from the ocean. She is continually building out the property with the eye of a designer, and it shows. Every brick, board, and stone feels like it has a purpose.
The rest of The Portal team similarly knocks it out of the park. They approach their roles with the professionalism you would expect of a big name spa resort. Every activity in which we took part was a bespoke experience based on our wants and needs, expertly presented.
The food? My gawd! I don’t possess the words to adequately describe the flawless execution of every meal and snack we were lucky to have in The Portal. The meals themselves, of course, were top notch—fresh ingredients and thoughtful mixing of flavor profiles and textures, all perfectly prepared—but it was more than that. Everything from the tablescapes, to the plating, to the chef’s presentation of the dishes themselves was effortlessly elegant.
My wife and I booked the Conscious Couple Retreat, a program that when I was researching, felt a little more “counsel-y” than what we need—definitely beyond my vacation criteria of “fun” and “warm.” Through thorough communication with Alyee on this topic, she assessed our needs and created an experience that was perfect for us.
We had a handful of workshops during our time that were very insightful and helped us to level up an already high-level relationship. If your relationship is in a great place, you’ll leave in a better place. If it isn’t where you’d like it to be, reach out to Alyee yesterday and get down to The Portal!
For that matter, if you’re not even part of a couple, and you want to expand your consciousness in a breathtaking location while partaking of beautiful cuisine and being cared for by an incredible staff, shoot Alyee a message."

"The Portal was the highlight of my trip to Costa Rica. I was on a journey to find my inner power for the year ahead. In many ways, I felt The Portal was why I traveled to Costa Rica, yet I didn’t even know it, until I arrived there. This place is special. I was drawn to the view and stayed for the energy.
I immediately felt the calming effect of the combination of the remoteness, the beautiful sounds of the jungle and the peaceful presence of The Portal. I felt held by the energy and simplicity of Casita de Cristales. It became my home away from home.
My sessions with Alyee were the highlight of my trip. I immediately knew this is why I was called to stay at The Portal. She is a gifted and aligned healer who guided me in the most caring and beautiful way. My intuitive wisdom sessions gave me much needed insight and confidence in some big life decisions.
Alyee is an amazing host with beautiful, soft energy that immediately allowed me to feel safe and heard in a way that I have rarely experienced.
The Portal is amazing, the location is unreal and the experience is one I will never forget and will be forever grateful for."

“The Portal hosted an amazing transformational retreat. It helped me to find myself, to be myself and to live my truth. Alyee and the facilitators are such amazing world changers. They helped me to see who I am, what is true for myself and to live in my truth. I was broken and in so much pain. At some point, I thought I was never going to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I realized the light is here, it always was, I just was living a false life. Pleasing everyone else but me, I truly forgot what it meant to love myself.
Going to this retreat was a gift that allowed me to have a complete rebirth. I am so thankful for every minute I spent with these amazing people.
I encourage everyone to go NOW! It’s supportive in every way, for it allows you to see who you truly are and what is possible for your life, and if you are going through a tough time, it’s a game changer as well. The Portal helped me to focus on what my true path is and to live it fully!
Thank you Alyee!! Love you always.”

"Words can't describe the feeling of a group of people that truly listen. That describes 'The Portal" family. I never realized the power of listening to other people's thoughts! I am very grateful and appreciative of the time spent here. The memories and teachings will last me a lifetime. A five star experience.
I went to work yesterday and it's the first time that I feel really calm. I have been acclimating to being peaceful without any outbursts. I am very mindful of listening to people first , before any sort of reaction. I feel our conversations at The Portal have made me aware of myself. I reflect back to our time spent together and it grounds me. Each day, I am mindful of your teachings. Thank you for explaining the importance of my inner child. I never really thought of it until you. I feel blessed to have worked with you and your team. You all will be in my heart forever!"

"What Alyee has created at The Portal is nothing short of a magical experience. Between the delicious, fresh food customized to our needs and the beautiful surroundings, it’s easy to feel cared for here. Alyee goes above and beyond, creating an itinerary personalized down to every last detail of our individual selves. Her and Crystale (extraordinary guide, facilitator, and soul) have an obvious synergy that allowed my husband and I to feel safe, loved, and encouraged to thrive. Through a process that ranged from morning meditation practices to authentic relating to inner child connection and more, we left this Portal sparkling in our divine light.
Forever grateful for making our honey/baby moon burst with intentionality, laughter, and just the purest love. We miss you already- until next time!"

"The perfect balance of learning practices mixed with relaxation. Delicious healthy food throughout. The Portal makes you feel very welcome and extremely safe to be completely open. I have never felt more held or safe to heal. For the first time in my life, I understood why inner child work is so important, because I experienced the breakthrough myself. I finally came back to myself!
An incredible amount of both personal and relationship growth in only days. Great views and tranquility being immersed in nature. Left The Portal excited to explore the next chapter in my life and our marriage!"

“Going on a personal retreat with Alyee was exactly what my body, mind, and soul needed! The sacred space she created allowed me to fully disconnect from the outside world and reconnect to my inner world. She skillfully and confidently used her entire toolbox to offer me various practices and sessions based on what was needed in each moment or each day.
I deeply appreciated her intuitive guidance and ability to tailor the experience for me personally. If you need time to rejuvenate and reconnect with your true self, this is an experience for you!”
