Empowering You — Mind, Body & Beyond
At Studio B we believe that true transformation begins from within. Our mission is to guide individuals toward a healthier, stronger, and more connected version of themselves—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Founded in the peaceful heart of Nosara, Costa Rica, Retreats Nosara blends the science of fitness with the depth of psychological well-being. Our approach is holistic and personalized. We don’t just focus on how you move—we care about how you feel, how you think, and how you grow.
I’m Sofía Ballard
psychologist, personal trainer, and nutrition coach.
I help people reconnect with their bodies through an integrative approach that brings together mind and body.
My work is not about how you look, it’s about how you feel. It’s about feeling strong, inside and out.
I work with people who are looking for more than a quick fix or aesthetic result. People who want to care for their bodies with trust and respect, not pressure or punishment. I often work with women navigating life transitions, but I welcome anyone seeking to feel balanced again.
Every process is unique, because every body has its own story. That’s why I offer personalized, thoughtful support that respects each person’s rhythms and needs. I believe in mastering the basics, because that’s where lasting change begins.
My own journey with strength training and body connection began during a time of grief. Movement became my anchor back to myself. Since then, I’ve embraced strength not just as a way to train, but as a powerful tool that grounds, supports, and transforms daily life.
If you feel it’s time to reconnect with yourself and make a real, lasting change, let’s do it together.

From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at peace. Retreats Nosara offers the perfect blend of nature, healing, and community. The yoga sessions, nourishing meals, and deep connection with others helped me reconnect with myself in a way I never expected.

Retreats Nosara gave me more than a vacation—it helped me rethink how I live. The daily practices, holistic workshops, and time in nature gave me clarity and purpose. I felt supported, seen, and truly cared for.
