Wellness Practitioners

Casa Alternavida, Puerto Rico

The lushly vegetated property is a house of transformation where wellness practitioners guide guests in practices designed to deliver deep insights that drive fundamental mindset shifts. Once the guest’s inner landscape is changed, work begins to align their outer world back home with the new inner world they have discovered at Casa Alternavida. casaalternavida.com
