Private Breakthrough Weekend
Custom in-person intensive for rapid change

Pick your city, virtual room or hotel suite; I arrive with a tailored, clinically informed intensive that turns months of progress into days. Private mental-wellness coaching, body-mind techniques and integration calls align with your goals, delivering results that stay long after Monday morning.
retreat that comes to you
Somewhere between the 6 a.m. status check and the midnight “quick sync,” you noticed joy was on mute. Your leadership podcasts swear balance is scalable, yet burnout metrics argue otherwise. Let’s call the feeling what it is: an overclocked nervous system begging for a firmware patch.
You scan the wellness landscape - ten-day jungle sabbaticals, crystal-infused yoga apps, influencers sipping turmeric - and see nothing built for mortal calendars. Too long, too woo-woo, too loud. Real life needs real change that fits inside its margins.

Traditional luxury retreats lock you into their zip code and timetable. Boutique wellness nails the aesthetic, skimps on clinical depth. Psychedelic centers promise speed yet leave safety to chance. So I flipped the script — bringing a bespoke mental-health retreat that meets you where you are — clinically informed, holistically fueled, and engineered for breakthrough change.
Weekend Retreats — Re-Engineered
Your Place, Not Ours — penthouse, lake house, or boardroom C; I travel light
Outcome-First Design — deeper sleep, brighter mood, bigger shift — your call
Clinically-Informed Methods — CBT insights, yogic breath, (optional) EEG tech
Lasting Integration — leave with a Monday roadmap, not a souvenir bracelet
Built to restore mental wellness without reshuffling schedules — or wardrobes.

Most retreats pluck a single string—whether it’s a dopamine fast, yoga marathon yoga, or mushroom circle—and calls it a mental-health reboot. But stress isn’t monogamous; it seeps into sleep, mood, posture, purpose, even the punctuation in your texts. Mend one thread, and the knot just tightens somewhere else.
My weekends target your main goal while recalibrating the entire mind-body system. Think cognitive work blended with somatic tools, nutrition tweaks with purpose-mapping—every area hijacked by stress clicking back into sync. The arc stays tight yet thorough: careful prep for safety and clarity, a two-day deep dive, and integration that keeps the shift alive long after Monday.

My detours,
Your shortcut.
I’m Sevda Leavy, Baku-born in a four-generation medical clan where cardiology charts shared space with cookbooks. Grandma—our resident neurologist—could spot my jitters faster than I could say baklava, yet she waved off psychotherapy as “soft science, like Jell-O"
Then life cranked up the heat: sudden moves, epic heartbreak, burnout so deep even our pharmacy-grade tea couldn’t reach it. I chased cures across three continents—coaching in San Diego, psychotherapy in St. Petersburg, meditation in Kathmandu, shamanic work in Yucatán—clocking 4,500 training hours. Each modality worked—but only on its terms. Fixed locations, set schedules, hours (or days) most people can’t squeeze between meetings.
So I spliced the best of them into a trauma-aware, clinic-meets-wisdome framework that travels light and works in a weekend. Name the city, state the goal; I’ll roll in with my pop-up soul lab and turn overload into momentum. Pretty sure Grandma—were she here—would swap her stethoscope for my carry-on… Jell-O optional.
4 MOVES TO MOMENTUM

Integration
A follow-up call transforms fresh insights into a concrete plan, locking in clarity and turning your breakthrough into everyday momentum.
weekend zoom-ins
Meet Bufo Alvarius, a desert toad with an operatic name. Inside its venom hides 5-MeO-DMT—the compound Harvard and Johns Hopkins say flips the ego’s mute switch in seconds. One clean inhale—no jungle trek, no purge bucket—and you’re rocketing through a private Milky Way. Fifteen minutes later you’re back in your chair, coffee still warm.
Epiphanies wilt without scaffolding, so my therapist-grade protocol begins days before ignition: health screen, mindset tune-up, body priming. Ceremony day I’m beside you, watching every dial. After landing we weave the cosmic download into dinners, Zoom calls, and bedtime rituals—turning wonder into usable wiring. Colleagues notice the glow? Shrug and say:“Just a Sonoran-toad aria.”

Most people prep for a mind-bend the way they’d pack for Mars: badly. I land with a smarter kit—health screen, gut-soothing diet tweaks, laser-cut intention map, amygdala-friendly playlist. Years in counseling rooms and far-flung ceremonies taught one rule: dialed-in prep doesn’t just smooth launch; it primes you for insights that rewrite your mental OS.
But an insight is only raw ore until it’s integrated. The moment you land — elated, shaky, or looping in a “bad-trip” echo — we sift the footage and mint therapy-grade gold. We unpack the visuals, smooth the jolts, and graft each insight onto daily life — all within clinically-informed Zoom sessions. The payoff: durable mental-health capital you can draw on long after Monday.

Friday, 6 p.m.—my long-time client FaceTimes in mascara meltdown: brutal breakup and 40-slide deck due Monday. “Wish you were here,” she cracks, vaporizing my Bali-hammock daydream. Challenge accepted: I tell her, “Book the nearest spa hotel—I’ll bring the retreat menu,” then load a carry-on with breathwork tracks, micronutrient tweaks, and a pop-up therapy kit before catching the red-eye.
Forty-two hours of rapid-fire CBT, fascia tune-ups, phone-free shoreline loops, and hush-the-night chamomile later, she’s sleeping, eating, and nailing her slides. Monday sails; by Tuesday her co-founder pings, “Any chance that retreat travels to me?” Turns out the quickest reboot is the one that shows up at your door—carry-on already latched.

I once caught my brain sprinting laps at 3 a.m., streaming worst-case highlight reels no one had queued. So I ran a 48-hour, stay-at-home test: phone in exile, inbox on ice, licensed therapist in my earbuds as mission control. The hush felt suspicious, then exquisitely sane.
We untied thought-knots, popped fascia like bubble wrap, and fed neurons turmeric-ginger comfort fuel. By Sunday dusk, dopamine filed books like a calm librarian and cortisol clocked off-duty. The results felt too good to hoard, so I bundled the blueprint into a custom-fit Reset & Recharge weekend. Turns out serenity can sprawl across your living room in just two days.

The Science of Psychedelics
FAQ
It’s simple—just three steps.
- First, you send in a request, and we schedule a call at a time that works for you. You tell me what you're looking for, I answer your questions, and we see if I’m the right fit for your needs.
- If everything clicks, we sign a consulting agreement (just covering my work), and you pay a deposit. From there, I design a custom retreat plan just for you.
- You handle booking and payment directly for everything else—hotel, flights, transfers, any extras. My services are paid separately, no later than three weeks before the retreat.
Each retreat is built around your specific goals and the location we choose. I lead the counseling sessions, while local professionals provide bodywork, wellness treatments, or other practices. I’ll offer clear recommendations in your plan—but you choose and book what suits you best. All services—like wellness treatments or bodywork—are booked and paid for directly to the providers.
Most of my retreats are one-on-one, but I can organize something for a small group, like a wellness reset for your team. The one exception — Bufo retreats. Those are always private, 1:1, due to the depth of personal work involved. I don’t offer retreats for couples, as I don’t specialize in family therapy.
That depends on your choices—hotel, travel, and add-ons. You only pay me for my time: $140/hour for sessions. A standard retreat package starts at $1950, which includes 12 hours of therapy, your personalized program, and curated recommendations.
No. For therapy to truly work, environment matters. You need a space that breaks your everyday patterns and removes familiar triggers—and that’s best achieved in a quality hotel. Plus, good wellness hotels offer the right food, treatments, and atmosphere to support your process.
It’s not for everyone. Contraindications include mental illness, pregnancy, asthma or respiratory issues, psychoactive medication, and recent trauma or surgery. Side effects are rare but can include temporary disorientation, intense anxiety, nausea, breathing difficulty, or fainting. We always go over safety protocols and preparation in advance—your wellbeing comes first.
Right now, Mexico is the only country where 5-MeO-DMT isn’t explicitly banned under federal law. It’s not listed as a controlled substance, which means it can legally be used in certain therapeutic settings. In most other countries, it’s either directly illegal or falls into a legal gray area—where even if it’s not named, it can still be treated as banned under similar substance laws. Translation: the risk is high, and the legal protection just isn’t there.
I’ve written a detailed guide with everything you actually need to know. Sure, there are books and YouTube videos—but this article is different:
- It’s concise and to the point
- It’s grounded in the latest scientific research
- It includes academic sources if you want to go deeper
Everything we discuss stays between us. I follow the ethical standards of the International Association of Counselors and Therapists (IACT). While our sessions aren’t covered by medical confidentiality laws, privacy is built into our agreement. Need extra assurance? I’m happy to sign an NDA.
It’s just you and me—no prefab schedule. We start with a frank call about your goals and pain-points, then I build the weekend around them: my mental-wellness toolkit plus hand-picked local add-ons. Because the work is one-on-one, every hour is a live feedback loop: if a somatic drill settles you fast, we lean in; if a hike misfires, we swap it out. From sleep tweaks to mindset resets, every move is chosen in real time for your body, your brain, your outcome. No group template—just continuous, personal support.
Think of an intensive as a high-powered “edit” session for your nervous system. It’s like “positive PTSD”: a deliberate, targeted jolt that rewires your brain in days instead of months. The stronger the stimulus, the deeper the imprint—whether that’s a DMT ceremony in Tulum or a two-day digital detox at home. Once those new neural tracks set, the glow isn’t just a vibe-lift; it’s baked into your firmware.
Every private weekend blends the mental-wellness toolkit I bring with local mind-body extras I curate from what’s available on site—paid straight to the provider.

Mindfulness & CBT exercises | Massage & Myofascial release |
