Our Story.
Wellness is so much more than meets the eye. One of the most potent tools we have as humans for health and healing is the power of connection. Humans need each other for support, for growth, for inspiration, and for healing. Community is the driving force behind Alchemize House.
Our story began in the strange stillness of 2020. Dana and Rave landed in Sayulita during the shutdown, when the world had gone quiet and slow in a way it never had before. What was meant to be a brief escape turned into something neither of them expected: they fell in love with the town's rhythm, its warmth, the way life there moved at the speed of connection instead of urgency. They kept coming back.
Those early trips turned into retreats, hosted across different venues around Sayulita, gathering people who were craving the same thing Dana and Rave had stumbled into: a slower way of being well, together. But somewhere in that process, a bigger question started to take shape. What if this didn't have to happen once a year, or once a season? What if people could have this every day?
That question became the blueprint. Not a retreat you wait all year for, but an everyday retreat. A place to return to again and again, not as an escape from life, but as part of it.
In November 2023, we opened the doors of Mexico's first social wellness club, right in the heart of Sayulita, Nayarit. We built Alchemize House as a place where nervous system health and genuine human connection sit at the center of everything. Not a retreat. Not a gym. Not a spa. Sayulita's social wellness club, where showing up regularly, knowing the people around you, and feeling safe enough to go inward is the whole point.
At Alchemize House, we offer the full spectrum of tools for nervous system health and holistic well-being: yoga, Pilates, breathwork, meditation, and sound healing alongside contrast therapy including sauna, cold plunge, and our rooftop warm pool. We also offer co-working with fast Wi-Fi for remote workers who know that how you feel directly impacts how you perform. Whether you're here for a day pass, a membership, a private event, a retreat, or a sunset DJ session, there is a place for you here.
Not just any community, but one rooted in compassion, empathy, and respect. A community-first space where each person who walks through our doors can come as they are, regardless of where they are on their wellness journey.
We welcome people of all backgrounds: creatives, wellness-focused travelers, digital nomads, remote workers, retreat hosts, and facilitators, and small groups celebrating together. We commit to meeting each guest where they're at, empowering each individual on their own unique path.
Our Values.
Community
Relationships are at the heart of everything we build. We believe deep, authentic human connection is the foundation of a life well-lived - and that the right environment can make those connections possible.
The body is a pathway to connection.
When we care for ourselves, we become more present, more open, and more available to the people and world around us.
Empowerment
True wellness lives at the intersection of mind, body, and community. We offer tools — movement, breathwork, contrast therapy, and space — to support every dimension of your health.
Belonging
Every tool here is an invitation, not a prescription. We trust each guest to know what they need, to do their own research, and we create the conditions for them to choose it with confidence.
