🌿 CuraTica Retreat 2025

Heal • Recharge • Evolve

December 3 – 5 , 2025 · Scarlet Villas, Ojochal, Costa Rica


Welcome to CuraTica – a journey home to yourself

I’m Dr. Marly Oosterhof, a Medical Doctor and Lifestyle & Wellness Coach.
After years of treating illness, I learned that true healing begins when we slow down, listen within, and reconnect with what makes us feel alive.

CuraTica was born from that truth – a soulful, science-based retreat where the principles of Lifestyle Medicine meet the art of emotional and spiritual renewal.
Set in lush Ojochal, Costa Rica, this intimate 3-day experience invites you to restore your body, awaken your senses, and return home renewed.


🌸 What to expect

A flow of evidence-based workshops, mindful movement, and soulful connection woven into the rhythms of tropical nature.

Each day offers a balanced mix of:

  • Morning grounding: meditation, breath, or gentle yoga
  • Lifestyle Medicine sessions: practical, inspiring tools for energy, sleep, nutrition, and stress resilience
  • Experiential ceremonies: full moon sound journey, dance-your-emotions, voice activation & fire ritual under the stars
  • Soulful nourishment: plant-forward meals prepared with local love
  • Rest & reflection: pool time, journaling, silence, connection

(All sessions are optional – you can follow your own flow.)

🏡 The setting – Scarlet Villas, Ojochal

Nestled between jungle and sea, Scarlet Villas offers a serene space with a salt-water pool, open-air kitchen, lush gardens, and easy access to waterfalls and beaches.
Wake up to birdsong, enjoy nourishing meals prepared by our retreat chef, and fall asleep to the hum of the forest.


🌕 Ceremonies & connection

Throughout the retreat you’ll be guided through powerful experiential practices such as:

  • Voice Activation & Fire Ceremony – releasing fear and reclaiming your voice under the moonlight
  • Dance Your Emotions – movement as medicine, to express and free what lives within
  • Sound Journey & Meditation – deep rest and nervous-system reset through vibration and intention

These sessions are guided by a circle of gifted facilitators – including Stacey Seedorf, Yoselyn Oviedo, Yulibeth Sequera, and Paye Bayona – alongside myself, blending lifestyle medicine with heart-centred healing.


🌿 Who this retreat is for

  • You’re feeling stretched thin and crave reconnection.
  • You’ve tried “fixing” your health through willpower – but your body, mind, and soul want deeper alignment.
  • You want an evidence-based approach to wellness that also honours your spirit.
  • You long for community, laughter, and stillness in equal measure.

If that sounds like you, CuraTica is calling.

🌺 From my heart

This isn’t a luxury escape. It’s an invitation – to remember who you are when you slow down, breathe deeply, and let your body lead the way back to wholeness.
I can’t wait to welcome you to CuraTica and witness the transformation that begins when science and soul finally meet.

About Me

  My name is Marly Oosterhof, and I’m a Medical Doctor who transitioned from focusing solely on curing to embracing a more holistic approach to healing. In 2005, I founded Vita Wellness and Health, where I’ve applied my expertise in medical weight loss to help numerous patients reclaim their health through personalized coaching and guidance.

Having faced my own medical challenges, I’ve sought a more integrated approach to health and wellness, earning certifications in nutrition, homeopathy, and lifestyle medicine, among others. My true passions lie in health, wellness, travel, and food.

What I am: A physician with a deep love for holistic health and lifestyle.
What I’m not: A photographer, chef, nutritionist, or personal trainer.

In this blog, I’ll share what excites and inspires me, with the hope of encouraging others to make lifestyle changes. Most photos will be taken with my phone, and I love sharing the meals I create, so please bear with me! 😊
