Learn More About Shari
Dr. Shari completed her medical degree in Tel Aviv, Israel and then upon returning to NYC, she went on to study Surgery and Anesthesiology and moved to Florida where she has been practicing for 22 years as an Anesthesiologist. As a practicing medical doctor and a mother of three, she had a number of experiences that led her to explore meditation and yoga, first to manage the stressors of everyday life, then to deepen her connection to herself and also to heal from a car accident leaving her near paralyzed, as well as a difficult divorce. Her curiosity about Consciousness, such as where is it in the “body” and where does it go when she puts someone to sleep, or when someone dies, led her to the discoveries of the ancient Sages of the Wisdom Traditions and spent many years studying energetic, holistic healing methods outside of her medical practice. Initially this was out of curiosity and her scientific mind, but then discovered that applying these practices in her own life and sharing some of this knowledge with patients as she is able in a hospital setting, were more beneficial to then the medical field currently recognizes. Thus, she went on to become Chopra Certified Meditation instructor as well as an Ayurvedic Health Coach through the Chopra Center based in Az. to be able to help people learn to be their own “guru” outside of the traditional western health care model. She soon realized that the best way to help the thousands of patients she has cared for with chronic pain, addiction, and illness was to become certified in these ancient practices and share these amazing intuitive knowledge with others. Her expertise in anatomy and physiology make her an exceptional teacher of the ancient traditions of Yoga and Ayurveda. Currently she is officially a student of Hatha Yoga in Yoga Teacher Training with the Kula Yoga Shala based in Jupiter, Florida, although she has been practicing yoga asana for over 15 years. Shari is also Reiki Certified and loves to surf, dance salsa, hike, snorkel, and SCUBA dive. Teaching and helping others has always come naturally to her and is also her passion.

The Venue…
Tantalize your senses and transform into your best self in one of Earth’s most restorative destinations… the beautiful and lush Costa Rica. The air is cleaner and fresher, the sun is brighter, the energy is more vibrant. It’s the ideal place to activate your greatest potential and honor your deepest purpose.
You’ll join us at a property experiencing it’s own transformation… from hotel to retreat center: Con Smania CR. Each structure is unique and positively invites exploration through the winding paths and gorgeous landscaping.
Bordered by it’s own landing strip – or pasture when our equine friends come to visit – and very few neighbors, this safe and sacred space is also just a 10 minute stroll to the Pacific Ocean.
Guanacaste trees shade the property and provide home to a variety of wildlife, including the howlers, parrots, iguanas and so much more.
From hidden meditation spots to the grand and magnificent main building we call Haven, there is so much to explore on the property, or just lounge at our unique and fun pool for the rest you deserve.
I’m worth it, I’m investing in myself now
