Returning to Vitality at Ocho

Foundations for Recovery from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

guided by Nate Singer, Integrative Somatic Practitioner

Date Options:

December 1 - 8, 2024 & February 8 - 15, 2025

Hola, Friend!

Join us for an 8-day, 7-night rejuvenating retreat experience led by expert practitioners who work with clients suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and other chronic health conditions. Your practitioner team isn't just educated, they have also recovered from one or more chronic conditions themselves and have since dedicated their life's work to helping others regain their energy and vitality.

While this experience is specifically designed for guests with CFS, any individual dealing with one or more of the following conditions will deeply benefit from the curriculum and the experience as a whole:


What You'll Receive

Through workshops, group experiences, and personalized treatments, we will educate you about the underlying mechanisms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and how a dysregulated nervous system impacts all systems of the body. Also, we will introduce you to a variety of mind/body techniques that you can do at home while giving you a big jump start on your path to recovery.

You’ve probably heard the sentence “you should try [insert thing]” a thousand times and we know what that feels like, so our goal is to help you understand why your body is acting how it is and support you in taking back your personal power in healing. Our core belief is that there are no magic bullets, however we guide you in discovering an individualized set of tools that your body responds best to and alleviate symptoms, increase energy levels, and regain a sense of hope in order to rebuild the life you want to be living.


Workshop Topics Include:


Modalities Include:


Pacing, Flow, & Personalization

We understand that pacing can be such a difficult part of living with chronic conditions, so the schedule is built with that in mind. Lots of rest and relaxation is included! One of the workshops will take place at a rustic hot spring where you can soak and unwind both before and after. Additionally, you will receive a 90-minute treatment as part of your package and can choose Massage, Acupuncture, or Craneosacral Therapy.

Your food will be prepared by chefs who understand food sensitivities and all meals will be dairy and gluten-free. My team will be in touch to discuss your exact requirements as soon as we receive your booking to ensure we understand your needs. If you have any questions or would like to speak to your retreat leader prior to booking, please contact us.

I can't wait to return to vitality with you!


Love,

Ocho

Meet Your Guide

Nate Singer

In my mid-20s, I became extremely sick with a mystery illness.  Day by day I got worse, and by the sixth month I was so exhausted I couldn’t get out of bed and was unable to walk smoothly or speak without a stutter. I had to abandon my thriving business because I couldn’t climb up stairs or carry anything without dropping it.  After being repeatedly dismissed or misdiagnosed, eventually I found out that I had Lyme Disease. 

After receiving treatment, I still experienced crippling fatigue, brain fog, intense pain, and bizarre neurological symptoms that nobody seemed to be able to explain.  I was lucky enough to be able to try a huge variety of treatments and modalities aimed at helping me recover.  Some of them helped but most of them didn’t.  And it seemed like so many people were offering a magic bullet solution that would cure me overnight.  With the help of some amazing practitioners, dedication, and experimentation I was able to eventually get rid of my physical symptoms and return to an active life.  I’ve since studied a lot of the techniques that helped me the most and incorporated them into helping clients with not only chronic illness, but all of the other seemingly insurmountable obstacles that keep them from having a life they love amidst the challenges of the modern world.

Living with illness, grief, or pain can be frustrating, isolating, and seemingly impossible, so I try to bring some lightheartedness and a sense of positivity to this work.  But not, you know, the annoying kind.  I believe that the best approach always starts with as full of an understanding of what my clients have been through as possible.  I am certified in Tension and Trauma Release Exercises, Counseling, and Pain Reprocessing Therapy.  I’m a lifelong lover of sports, cooking, creative writing, and being in, on, and around the water.
