Anya Resort’s Niyama Wellness Center Presents
Mindful Conversations with Marilen
Marilen Gonzalez-Elizalde guides a transformative conversation on unlocking the path to health and happiness, wellness and longevity.
“Women are extraordinary—the same as species, yet unique as individuals. Women are powerful, resilient, and ever-evolving,” declares Marilen Gonzalez-Elizalde, certified lifestyle coach. To celebrate International Women’s Day, Anya Resort’s Niyama Wellness Center hosted Mindful Conversations with Marilen, a captivating session which focused on unlocking the path to health and longevity.
Through a dynamic conversation, Marilen shared practical insights on how to rebuild and restore our hormonal balance, explaining why hormones don’t behave like they used to and how we can work towards restoring them. In a fun and engaging twist, she gave hormones like estrogen and progesterone, “personalities”—such as the “introvert,” the “extrovert,” or the “diva”—helping attendees connect with and better understand the complex and often confusing world of hormones.
Mindful Conversations also explored the fascinating concept of energy systems, where Marilen shared the concept that we actually have two distinct energy systems within our bodies—systems that we can tap into and learn to switch between, depending on our needs. By understanding how to activate and optimize these systems, attendees were given the tools to feel more energized, balanced, and in control of their overall well-being.
Through a mix of playful and informative discussions, Marilen empowered participants to approach their health with a fresh perspective, leaving them inspired and equipped with actionable strategies to regain vitality, achieve hormonal balance, and boost their energy for a longer, healthier life. The session was not just a conversation but a fun, engaging, and enlightening experience that gave everyone valuable insights into how to nurture both their body and mind for long-lasting wellness.
Ultimately, Marilen wishes to empower women, sharing that through Mindful Conversations she hopes that “guests were inspired to connect, learn, and take charge of their well-being.”
Following the session, attendees enjoyed a rejuvenating day retreat that included a restorative Niyama Wellness Experience, a tranquil walk through the Sensory Garden to reconnect with nature and their inner selves, and a peaceful escape into the quiet comfort of the Anya Library. Guests also indulged in a refreshing swim in Anya’s heated pool and savored soulful dishes thoughtfully crafted by Anya’s executive chef. This perfect blend of mindfulness, relaxation, and nourishment left everyone feeling empowered and rejuvenated.
