“The moment my soul was yearning for. This was exactly what I needed”
Before you choose your journey, I invite you to press play. In this short audio, I share why the Cocoons exist in this moment, the role I hold inside your transformation and the power that belongs to you.
“I am not here to heal you. I am here to create the conditions for your rest and remembrance. ”

About Cocoon Sanctuary -
About Cocoon Sanctuary -
This sanctuary began as a prayer.
It was my dream to return to my motherland, to live here and to create a healing home where I could receive beings to heal. Building this portal required deep trust in the ancestors, the land and the most high. I had to transmute fear into love, uncertainty into devotion, and tap into a frequency of faith that is now undeniably felt within these walls. Cocoon Sanctuary was created through alchemy, the transformation of the old into the new, the stepping into power through purpose. That vibe is what surrounds you as you transform.
I designed and built this space intentionally within one lunar cycle. Every detail was chosen with care. Natural fibers, custom art created by me or some of my talented friends, Taíno symbols, and references to love and liberation woven throughout. I curated the furniture and decor to create a clean, open environment where you are surrounded by ritual, where you can feel the ocean, breathe deeply, and soften into rest.
Cocoon Sanctuary is an offering to the rhythm of this land.
Many of our grandmothers had to leave this island. Many of us do not have maternal homes to return to. This space was created as a place of return, rooted in Borikén where you can reconnect to the cleansing waters and listen to the wisdom carried in the wind.
The plants and herbs within the Cocoon Sanctuary are grown on this island. The textures invite touch. The space is transformable and spacious and is able to hold silence, ceremony, art, prayer, stretching, dancing, deep conversation, and rest.
From this kitchen, I cook and serve meals prepared with intention and love. Fruits and vegetables fill the counters, each picked just for you, right before you arrive, most of it grown in the Taíno sun.
This home has been described as a womb, a mini resort, a sanctuary but at its heart, it is a beloved Cocoon for Transformation.
About Rebecca -
About Rebecca -
For over a decade, Rebecca Gitana has guided hundreds of individuals, couples, and multi-generational families through deep life transitions often sitting with them in real time, face to face, in moments that require courage, tenderness, and truth.
Her work is rooted in radical authenticity. Cocooners consistently describe her as steady, deeply loving, and unmistakably real and as a guide who can be both gentle and firm. A woman who holds truth without judgment. Some have shared that they felt mothered in a way they never had before. Others describe the experience as a rebirth.
Rebecca’s approach cannot be confined to a single modality. She weaves embodiment, spiritual mentorship, deep listening, intuitive ritual, creativity, and healing tools that work in everyday life into one cohesive container. She meets the whole human and supports alignment without shame. She often shares from her own lived experience and reminds those she guides that no one is above the human experience. We are all here learning, evolving, and choosing how much love we bring to the moment.
Cocoon Sanctuary is an extension of her devotion. She designed the space herself, created much of the art, curated every detail, and personally prepares the meals served within it. She cooks with intention always praying over the food, speaking to the water, honoring the trees and the fruits of the land. She does not simply facilitate sessions; she tends the entire field.
Now rooted in Borinquen she is the first of her lineage to return and rematriate. Her work is inseparable from the land. The ocean, the rainforest, and the river are not backdrops; they are collaborators. It is her great joy to serve in this way.
This is not therapy.
It is not guru culture.
It is not surface-level healing.
It is embodied, relational, and lived.

FAQs
FAQs
Are payment plans available?
Yes payment plans are available. We can follow your flow as long as your offering is complete at least two weeks before your arrival.
What dates are the retreats?
Private Cocoon experiences are scheduled based on mutual availability and the natural rhythm of the season. The June (small group) Cocoon will take place during the first or second week of June. Final dates will be confirmed as the group forms and aligns.
How do I get to the sanctuary and is transportation included?
The sanctuary is located approximately 30–45 minutes from the airport, depending on traffic. Your ride to and from is not included in your Cocoon. However, it is easily accessible by Uber. Detailed arrival instructions to enter the sanctuary are shared when your booking is confirmed.
Can I come with a friend?
Yes, sharing a Cocoon can be a part of the experience. You can also come with your romantic partner or anyone else you want to share this experience with. Together we will decide if it is a good fit for us all. If you’ve got questions about sleeping arrangements, include that in your application.
What is Harmonizing Bodywork?
Harmonizing bodywork is a medley of modalities I have refined over the last 10 years. It is a deeply nurturing and intuitive experience that weaves together:
• Massage and pressure point therapy
• Maternal, loving, grounding touch
• Guided breath work
• Somatic movements and purging practices
• Vocal toning
• Sound healing and chakra clearing
• Crystal placement on the body
• Aromatherapy
• Smoke bathing and cleansing practices
This is not a clinical massage.
It is ceremonial.
It is restorative.
It is a return to the body as sacred.
Is Harmonizing bodywork included in the June group Cocoon?
No, the June Collective is a shared container with collective healing moments. Harmonizing bodywork is available as an add-on.
Is this experience only for Puerto Ricans?
No. While many Cocooners are children of Borikén reconnecting to their roots, this sanctuary is open to anyone who feels aligned with the spirit of the work and the rhythms of the land.
What if I’ve never done anything like this before?
Many Cocooners arrive having never experienced ritual or immersive healing before. Some are a bit more seasoned and have been growing consciously for some time. This space is designed to be gentle, guided, and welcoming to all beings with an open heart.
What kind of food is served?
Meals are nourishing, island-inspired, and prepared with care. So far, just about every Cocooner has asked for a Cocoon cookbook so that should tell you something! Many meals are plant-based and some may have meat or fish. Plant based meals support in purging at a faster rate. Most of the ingredients are harvested from farms, markets and local friend’s land, just for you! If you have dietary restrictions or allergies, please note them as we plan for your Cocoon so accommodations can be made.
What should I bring?
Comfortable clothing, swimwear, a journal, and anything that makes you feel grounded and at home. A full packing list is provided after booking.
What if I need to cancel?
Deposits are non-refundable but may be transferable to a future date depending on notice and availability.
What if there is a hurricane or unforeseen travel restrictions?
In the event of a natural disaster, or unforeseen travel restrictions that make the retreat unsafe or impossible, your Cocoon investment will be transferred to a future date.
All payments may be applied toward another Cocoon experience within the next 12 months. We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for your flights and personal travel arrangements.
The land teaches rhythm and surrender and we honor that together.
Can men book a private Cocoon?
Yes, in fact over the last 10 years I have worked mostly with men in my one on one sessions. I love creating a soft place where my Brothers can let go and be seen. When we create moments for men to be vulnerable and to rest, it changes something for the world. Men who want to Cocoon in Paradise with me must be an existing virtual or in person client to be eligible.
Who Is This Not For?
Cocoon in Paradise may not be aligned for those seeking constant stimulation, nightlife, or jam-packed itineraries.
This sanctuary honors rhythm.
Our days move with the weather, the energy of the land, and the lessons unfolding in the moment.
There is spaciousness here.
There is stillness here.
There is intention here.
If you are craving fast-paced distraction, this may not be your container.
