About NUNO
What started as The Nurturing Nomad, a fun & inspiring Instagram account, has grown into a brand that supports women's needs through adventure and wellness in beautiful destinations. We come together in a supportive and safe space to let go and step into a transformational experience.
During our retreats we focus on saying yes to the things that feel good and align with our truest self. We dive into adventures that ignite our inner light and excite our inner child; we nourish our bodies through whole foods, intentional movement and whole-body wellness practices; and we indulge in life's little luxuries like massage, sunset sailing and lots of beauty rest.
Thoughtfully designed for the everyday woman, NUNO Retreats are curated to get you out of your daily routine and into a soul awakening adventure that will simply fill your cup.
Hey! I'm Amy Bonitz
Founder of The Nurturing Nomad and Lead Retreat Facilitator of NUNO Retreats.
After 20 years in the hospitality industry, time spent as a yoga instructor, and a formal education in Culinary Nutrition, I knew I wanted to take all of my experience and give back to women in a way that supports them wholeheartedly.
After working in restaurant management throughout the pandemic and a lot of personal struggles, I was burnt out to say the least...and all I could think about was going on a really solid vacation! As I listened to the women around me I realized I wasn't alone, but it was so much deeper than just a vacation; we needed real TLC, and real support & connection with real women - not just internet friends! So with a lot of heart and planning, I created NUNO Retreats.
NUNO Retreats are more than just a vacation. They're perfectly curated intimate group getaways for women in beautiful destinations full of adventure and selfcare. They are designed to get you out of your comfort zone and feeling alive! Women who attend our retreats are fully supported in a non-judgmental environment, and they make connections with likeminded women who become lifelong friends. NUNO attendees arrive ready for change and they come home feeling truly revived and ready to pour back into the life they love - and that is what I love the most!
I am so excited & grateful to be sharing these experiences with women from all over the globe, and I hope to see you on our next retreat!
Our Promise
Our promise to you is simple...
Join NUNO Retreats in paradise for a soul awakening and deeply nurturing experience, and return home feeling revived and ready to pour into the life you love with a calm mind & fully present heart.
What to Expect
Adventure...
Give back to yourself and spark your excitement with a heart-centered, adventure and wellness experience that will send you home revived - mind, body and soul.
Our adventure & wellness activities are gently interwoven throughout the day to give you the space and clarity to participate and process. Set to the backdrop of a magical destination, it’s everything you need for a transformative experience to feeling happy and whole. Unwind on the pristine white sand beaches with your favorite book; have fun and release your inner child as you sail & snorkel the island reefs; hike the ancient sugar mill ruins and discover the jungle's vibrant flora and fauna or dance the night away under the Caribbean stars.
Wellness
Each day we curate experiences that will simply fill your cup. We work with some of the best practitioners and guides in our retreat destinations to bring you top notch experiences, so when we're not on an epic adventure, you can enjoy plenty of rest & rejuvenation. Enjoy a walking outdoor meditation, or relax overlooking the sea as you’re guided through a gentle yoga flow; indulge in a healing massage as the palms sway all around you; transcend into a deep relaxation during a candlelit sound bath; get lost in a heartfelt conversation under the Caribbean night sky, and soak in the sounds of the coqui tree frogs as you turn in for the night with your journal and a nice cup of tea.
Nourish
When our basic needs are met, we have more space to focus on the deeper parts of selfcare and the general joys of life. That's why we plan a delicious and nourishing menu each day of the retreat; so you don't have to worry about a thing, not even what's for dinner.
We typically mix it up with catering, homecooked meals and local restaurants. We love to explore and support the local culture through culinary adventures, so two to three meals per trip are left open for your own exploration. When we aren't out on the town, Amy will be your in-villa chef and will provide nourishing and heartwarming meals for you to enjoy. Amy brings 20 years of Food & Beverage experience, along with a formal education in Culinary Nutrition and a deep passion to care for others through delicious and nourishing meals. Her cooking style incorporates whole foods and healthy twists on classic dishes with a dash of Mediterranean and Island inspired flare.
Attendee dietary preferences and restrictions are always taken inot consideration when meal planning. Be sure to list those on your intake form.
Accommodations
During our retreats, we believe that being comfortable is the key to creating space for total relaxation and transformation. We also love a little luxury and pampering. Our retreats are typically held in intimate but spacious private villas. Here's what we look for when booking:
-
Quality: the details matter. We choose updated and new construction whenever possible.
-
Comfort: extra pillows? No problem. Ensuite bathrooms? You got it. Air Conditioning? of course!
-
Privacy: we want you to feel immersed in your surroundings and able to drown out the noise. We strive to choose spaces that are private and spacious so you can truly retreat and relax.
-
Charm: we love paying homage to the local vibes of our destinations. We typically choose privately owned villas that speak to the local culture, history and architecture.
-
Views: Caribbean blues for days are a must. Need we say more?
-
Amenities: enjoy your down time at the pool, outdoor shower, landscaped gardens, hot tub, hammocks or loungers. We always book top notch amenities for you to enjoy.
We keep the villa information private until after booking, but if you'd like to see previous retreat accommodations please click here.
