I'll start by simply saying, WOW. New Life Ayahuasca, led by Matt and Jeanae, provides a profound opportunity to take your life to the next level. The container they create for the experience is unmatched in my opinion. From the facility it is hosted at to the people who come together for it I was surprised again and again. If you've been on the fence about your own journey for any reason I encourage you to take the plunge and reach out. Get your questions answered and get to know them. It will be worth it!
Thank you -

We attended a 7-day retreat at New Life Ayahuasca in February this year.
Matt and Janea - and their helpers Jason, Dave, Craig and Lina - were the best guides one could possibly have in an experience like this. They created a really welcoming and supportive environment for the group, always being available to answer any questions or concerns with patience and empathy. They were all very open with sharing their history and experiences which enabled us to feel safe to do the same. There was always someone around to talk through the experiences with, and their insights and perspectives were invaluable.
The energy of the whole group of retreat attendees was also really great. Even though we all came from different walks of life, we bonded instantly and felt supported by the group. It added tremendously to the positivity of the experience.
We would also like to recognize the wonderful energy from Craig, Lina, Jason and Dave and thank them for all of their support throughout our stay. You all are the best!
Overall we cannot recommend New Life Ayahuasca highly enough. This will not be a one-time experience for us and we look forward to visiting New Life again as soon as possible!

Finding a place to experience something like this is no doubt a big deal. For most, I feel this is like a Hail Mary of trying to desperately understand and heal from trauma, addiction or anything really.
I did look at several places before my friend and I decided to reach out to Matt and Janae.
From the first interaction, they were professional, empathetic, kind and had a welcoming sense to them. It was important to me to feel comfortable with the people I chose considering I would be at my most vulnerable self during these ceremonies.
Do your research, but please include them.
I can still hear the icaros Matt was taught by shamans that is done during the ceremony. It was such a profound experience. I kept reading people described this as life changing, and i honestly thought how could that really happen? I’ve had my prior experience with psychedelics and none were life changing.
Giving myself this retreat has changed me to the core. But in subtle ways. I feel more, I love more, I’ve let go what I needed to let go of and gave room for the next and I know it will continue on for awhile.
The facility is beyond 5 star, every single care taker is wonderful and genuine. They not only educate you but they help you grow. Matt and Janae know plant medicine in their bones and how to offer a safe, secure and loving environment to heal with an authentic ceremony.
The groups are small and I’m still in touch with them as we’ve created a close bond between people who came a bit broken but left empowered as anyone. Matt and Janae you two help so many of us and with such patience and grace , you both are amazing individuals and my heart thanks you for the life I’m getting to live and for opening up my eyes to the world around me. ❤️ peace love and light ❤️
I hope to see you again someday

Exceptional experience
Meeing mother Ayahuasca can be a very emotional, challenging, heart-opening and life-changing experience. Whatever journey this ends up being, knowing that you're safe, looked after and cared for by experienced and compassionate team should be everyone's top priority.
Jeanae and Matt created an environment where all the above is present, and so much more. They are there for you whenever you need them and surround you with love and understanding. They help prepare for and make the most out of every ceremony. They help digest and understand the plant wisdom by offering their time and knowledge during eye-opening discussions and one-on-one chats.
The whole NLA team are LEGENDS. Every person that looked after us was unique in their own way, super approachable and extremely friendly. They will forever have a special place in my heart.
The place we stayed at was simply beautiful, surrounded with amazing nature and crazy jungle noises. The food was home-cooked and delicious (thank you Lina!), the yoga sessions with Jeanae were calming and refreshing and the serenity of the retreat helped everyone integrate and share our experiences.
This was my first mother plant encounter and I already know that I will be back one day. Back with NLA, back with Jeanae and Matt 💚 -

I have attended New Life Ayahuasca retreat held at the most amazing nature reserve, newly build on the hills overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The location is simply superb and you can expect top class service and very high standard of accommodation. Food that is served daily is also of the best quality local ingredients - Lina the team's chef makes incredible dishes made up of only fresh natural produce.
When it comes to healing with Ayahuasca this was my first experience ever and I was somewhat hesitant when it came to choosing a retreat. I really wanted to feel comfortable and safe (as I was attending with my wife) but also wanted to find a place that offered ceremonies as close to a traditional experience as possible. I could not end up in better hands.
Matt, Jeanae and their team of facilitators (Craig and Dave) are just an incredibly professional and fully committed bunch of really lovely and easygoing people. They made us feel very welcomed from the moment we arrived, shared their stories and experiences and made us all feel very comfortable in all aspects of the journey.
During the ceremonies they all worked really hard to ensure the experience is conducted in a traditional way and to keep it that way is an unbelievably exhausting job. They are also fully committed to the process and always take full part in the ceremony which is very important factor if you are trying to find a centre that is truly genuine and caring.
Yoga sessions with Jeanae are also an amazing way to connect with your body before and after the ceremonies. One of the other highlights was also trip to the beach which was one of the best beaches I have seen in CR.
I loved my time with NLA so much that I cannot wait for my next healing session with them. The experience itself is very personal but if I could sum it up in one sentence that would have to be : a truly life changing experience.
Forever grateful Mike. -

I recently had a week long (three session) ayahuasca retreat at New Life Ayahuasca and what a great experience it was. These people are legit! It is the perfect blend of being in a jungle setting with the comforts of air conditioning, hot water, great food, etc.. The ceremonies were absolutely beautiful. They play several instruments that compliment ayahuasca very well. Matt (the shaman) gives everything he's got to hold space and channel Mother Ayahuasca...it is quite impressive. I highly recommend New Life Ayahuasca for anyone wanting to take the journey.

A beautiful experience
One of the greatest experiences I’ve had traveling and so grateful for the wonderful group we had along with Matt and Jeanae and all their volunteers (Craig and Dave especially)
The resort was unbelievably gorgeous and the fact that it was very eco friendly made me incredibly happy with my choice. Matt and Jeanae created such a warm, relaxing, comfortable and most of all safe environment that allowed me to get very deep and vulnerable with myself. The smaller group also allowed us to get very close with each other and gain some friends for life.
The food was also amazing, healthy and delicious, it was extremely sad to leave. I can’t say enough about how amazing and patient the entire staff was, you will not be disappointed with your experience and I know I will definitely be back at some point in the future.
Much love to New Life Ayahuasca and Matt & Jeanae -

A Beautiful Experience
One of the top experiences of my life, so much gratitute for our group we had, and Matt & Jeanae along with all their volunteers who helped us out (Craig & Dave especially).
The atmosphere is exactly what you would want when going through such an incredible experience, and I have to say Matt and Jeanae created such a beautiful, relaxing, comforting and most of all safe environment, that it allowed me to really get deep and vulnerable with myself. The small group also allowed us all to get incredibly close with each other and gain some friends for life.
The resort was absolutley gorgeous and the environementally friendly aspects of it really made it one of a kind and made me happy with my choice.
The food day in and day out was also delicious and incredibly healthy as well.
I can't say enough about their hospitality, you cannot go wrong with deciding to do your ayahuasca with Matt and Jeanae, I have no doubt I will be returning again somepoint in the future.
Much love to New Life Ayahuasca! -

This place was amazing, extremely welcoming. I highly recommend it, if anyone is wanting to experience their journey. Mathew, Jeanea, Jason, Craig, Lina, David & the rest of the team at New Life made my experience comfortable & authentic. I felt at ease & truly myself during my entire stay knowing that I could reach out and talk to anyone of the team members at any time. During my research & booking the retreat, Mathew & Jeanea reached out quickly & efficiently with any questions that I had.
My words cannot express how life changing this experience was & how much love, support & wisdom I felt from Mathew & Jeanea, Craig & Lina. The work that they do to help others on their healing journeys is so profound that it touched me in a way that I feel & see the world in a more loving way. I will definitely be returning in the near future.
Thank you New Life for all your love & support, it will never be forgotten. -

If you are looking for a place to experience Ayahuasca in Costa Rica then you have found the place. The environment that the New Life crew provides makes you feel like you are at home from day one. I have been fortunate enough to be able to drink with them twice and plan on booking my 3rd trip later this year. I’m so grateful for the people I have met and the lessons I have learned at New Life.
