  • Science-based burnout recovery and luxury wellness retreat philosophy at Burnout Recovery Accelerator

    Where Science Meets Depth in the Art of Recovery

    At the Burnout Recovery Accelerator, we’re reimagining luxury burnout retreats as a new category of transformational travel — where the path to wellbeing begins with the nervous system.

    Each experience brings together integrative psychology, neuroscience, and ancient ritual to guide leaders through the four phases of recovery: Reset, Release, Reclaim, and Rise.

    Our retreats are designed for executives, HR leaders, and hospitality innovators shaping a future where wellbeing is not a perk — but a performance strategy for human flourishing.

    Because real recovery isn’t about escape — it’s about return.

  • The Four Phases of Burnout Recovery

    A science-backed journey guiding every retreat experience.

    1

    🜂 Phase 1 – RESET

    Restore your natural rhythm. Deep rest and parasympathetic activation through sleep rituals, mindfulness, and biofield tuning. The nervous system recalibrates — allowing stillness to replace survival.

    2

    🜃 Phase 2 – RELEASE

    Let go to begin again. Gentle emotional release through sound, breath, and movement. This phase calms the body’s stress response and reopens pathways to trust, safety, and rest.

    3

    🜄 Phase 3 – RECLAIM

    Remember who you are beneath the pressure. Through reflection, coaching, and cultural immersion, guests reconnect to identity, purpose, and emotional clarity — transforming burnout into alignment.

    4

    🜁 Phase 4 – RISE

    Integrate renewal into your everyday life. Integration rituals anchor recovery into sustained vitality — balancing high performance with wellbeing and presence. This is where healing becomes leadership.

  • Why We’re Different

    Because real burnout recovery happens when we release the emotions stored in the nervous system — not just manage them.

    At the heart of every retreat is the Mental Emotional Release® (MER®) process — a clinically validated methodology that helps the body unlearn stress and resolve the root cause of burnout at the subconscious level. Unlike talk therapy or surface-level mindfulness, MER works directly with the timeline of memory and emotion held in the nervous system.

    Through guided visualization, breath, and language patterns, participants safely release stored emotions like guilt, anger, fear, or anxiety — the very programming that keeps the body locked in fight, flight, or freeze. The result is a measurable reset: the nervous system relaxes, mental clarity returns, and the body regains its capacity for creativity, compassion, and performance.

    Nervous-System First

    Lasting Change, Not Coping

    MER® clears the emotional charge beneath behavior, creating lasting calm instead of short-term relief.

    Integrative Luxury

    Every retreat environment is designed to support MER® — from sensory cues to post-session rituals.

    “97 % of participants report reduced anxiety and increased clarity within 21 days.”

    What if I'm currently seeing a therapist?

    That's great! We are a complementary therapeutic approach that support other modalities. We will require a referral from your therapist to ensure that you get the best out of your treatments and ensure that we all share the same highest goals for your well-being.

    Can I do this alone?

    To get the most benefit out of the treatment, you will work will a qualified Breakthrough Practitioner. We also encourage you to work with others in your organization for increased accountability and follow through after the process, however we do accept individual consults and offer coaching services. Make an appointment with us so we can learn more about your personal needs.

    Will I end up quitting my job after this?

    No. You'll feel much more resourceful and motivated to focus on your goals. However, with your new found resources you'll be more aware of the type of environment that is more aligned to your personal values to help you design your own meaningful work.

    How does this relate to job performance?

    You will feel more engaged and determined to achieve the goals that fulfill who you are. You will also learn new leadership skills to help you appropriately set the healthy boundaries to prevent future burnout and identify unhealthy work habits in your life and environment.

    Is there a virtual therapy option?

    Yes, we have a virtual clinic option hosted on a HIPPA compliant system.

    Do you cover insurance or any financial assistance?

    We do not cover any health insurance, however we do recommend you speak with your HR team around benefits to use your Wellness Spending Account, Personal Spending Account or training and development budget set aside to supplement the cost of this program. Speak with us about setting up a payment plan if you qualify.

    Are flights and accommodation included?

    No. Flights and accommodation are not included in the program. We have partners and agents who can help you get the best deal with your stay as well as offer packages to fit your vacation needs.

    Are the resorts safe?

    Yes, all our resort partners make it a priority for your safety. However, it is important to also take precautions like using Credit Cards over cash and be mindful of not getting overly intoxicated with alcohol during your stay. Our therapeutic session will be hosted on the resort location.
