A NOTE
FROM CAROLE
Welcome! I am so happy you're here, and I cannot wait to hold space for you on this retreat and share the magic that Tulum has to offer. This will be my 5th Women's Retreat at Amansala Tulum, and my heart is now at home with them.
This Women's Retreat is extremely sacred as these classes and workshops contain the tools and techniques that have transformed many lives, mine included, and it is my mission to pass this wisdom onto you now. These are the secrets to a better mindset, more confidence, increased energy, and the courage it takes to not only discover yourself, but to share that version of yourself with the world, and take up space in your truest, most authentic form.
I am here to uplift, encourage and empower you to create your dream life, and become the woman you were always destined to become.
"This retreat was more than I could have ever imagined. It gave me my power back. Carole's warmth, knowledge and overall energy was very healing to me. The yoga changed me from the inside out in just 5 days, the workshops healed my soul, the resort and views were beautiful. But the most important party were the women I met, and the friendships that formed. Knowing I was not the only one going through something hard and being around real genuine women was soothing and helped me more than I can explain. I came back home different.....better...and I am so very grateful for it." - Kim. M

ABOUT AMANSALA

Amansala was founded on the belief that a true vacation is one where you come back looking and feeling better than when you arrived.

We use natural materials and resources to create simple yet beautiful rooms, a menu full of fresh delicious food and an atmosphere that feels more like staying at a friends beach house than a hotel.

Amber T. // 2021 attendee
"I loved the Empowered Women's Retreat led by Carole. The retreat center was magical, the yoga shala where we practiced was open and faced the ocean as we did our morning flow. Carole was very knowledgeable in yoga techniques, self love practices, and empowerment practices. I learned so much about myself and the other women and really enjoyed our time together. I would highly recommend Carole's retreats, she really put a lot of love into every detail. xoxo"
Laura K. // 2022 attendee
"The Tulum retreat was such an amazing experience all around. The resort was phenomenal and Carole’s classes were beautifully sequenced and themed to fit the vibe of the day. I loved everything about my time in Tulum and cannot wait to go back when Carole hopefully has another there! I have three children and creating a time to escape was difficult but probably the best thing I have done to reconnect with myself. Meeting Carole and experiencing her amazing retreat was a trip I will cherish and I only wish I had done this sooner!"
Cara W. // 2024 attendee
“Carole is truly called to do this work. Her knowledge, expertise and passion for her craft was felt throughout all of the classes and workshops. She drew in a beautiful group of women and provided us all with an experience that will never be forgotten.”
