One Team

How we work together

One small team in one villa means the people caring for you talk to each other every day, about every guest.

Daily rounds

A physician reviews every guest each day: vitals, sleep, heart-rate variability and how the previous session landed. Nursing coverage is on-site 24 hours a day for the length of your stay.

One plan

Your medical evaluation, psychological assessment and daily sessions feed a single plan. The psychologist knows what the physician saw that morning, and the somatic team knows what surfaced in therapy.

Same team after you leave

The people who worked with you in Cozumel are the people who stay in contact through 90 days of integration support. You are not handed off to someone new.

Talk To Us

Meet the team before you decide

A consultation is a conversation with the people who would care for you. Ask about credentials, about a typical day, about whether this is even the right fit. No pressure either way.
