As women, the desire to learn and grow is innate. Many of us have felt that pull—knowing we wanted more from life but sensing something was holding us back. When we discovered that our own mental roadblocks were the culprit, we made a conscious choice to confront them head-on. In doing so, we unlocked the path to the life we had always imagined. This realization was too powerful not to share.
Quantum Leap Experience is a science-based program specially crafted to blend mental fitness with the healing power of nature, serving as a tool for self-discovery and a pathway for transformation. Our community provides a space for busy women like you to pause, reflect, and uncover the answers you’ve been searching for — by acting with intention.
“The Quantum Leap Experience is a nurturing environment where like-minded women awaken to their power to create the life they truly desire.”
–Maria J
Positive Intelligence is grounded in neuroscience, positive psychology, and cognitive behavioral theory.
Spending time in nature reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, and improves mental and physical health.
Go beyond theory and be empowered to take clear action toward meaningful change.
Small daily steps create the momentum for lasting, transformative change.
Maria knows what it feels like to be successful on paper but lost in her soul. A decade ago, she sold everything and moved to Costa Rica, chasing a life that felt more aligned. But even in paradise, the patterns followed her. Overworking, overgiving, and struggling to slow down.
It wasn’t until she hit pause and took a deep dive into her own inner work through Positive Intelligence, yoga, and Authentic Relating that things finally shifted. She began to heal. She learned how to listen to her intuition, honor her energy, and live from a place of grounded clarity.
Now, she is committed to helping other women do the same.
Maria is a 500HR certified yoga teacher and a trained practitioner of Authentic Relating. She leads the Quantum Leap Experience in Costa Rica, a retreat designed to help women reconnect to themselves, release what is no longer serving them, and step into what is next.
She splits her time between Playa Grande and Rancho Margot, a regenerative farm deep in the Costa Rican jungle. These are two places that hold her heart, and now, space for yours too.
Shannel is a creative director, graphic designer, instructor, 2-time author, and creative entrepreneur. She is the founder of Brand Restart, a brand education and implementation platform—and the founder of Awesome Design Academy, a guide for beginners to learn graphic design. Although well-regarded in her professional circles, for a long time, Shannel secretly felt like a fraud in her corporate career. Instead of dreaming bigger and pursuing the lifestyle she truly wanted, she often prioritized the dreams of others over her own. In September of 2020, she stepped out on faith to work for herself full-time and follow the entrepreneurial spirit that had been planted many years ago. She now fully embraces her innate power as a courageous creator and discovered that her true potential extends beyond producing clever color palettes and eye-catching designs; it’s about intentionally crafting an authentic life of purpose for herself and helping others do the same.
