Hi, I’m Max!
MEET THE FOUNDER
After a decade in consulting, I was totally burnt out. The long hours, back-to-back-to-back meetings, and high stress took a heavy toll. I started experiencing anxiety attacks and felt like a shell of my former self.
To help untangle my brain, my wife and I took a month-long surf and yoga trip to Costa Rica. It was an incredible experience, providing the space to slow down and focus on myself in a way I hadn’t in a long time.
As soon as we returned, I was inspired to create this type of experience for other high-achieving professionals. I know what it’s like to work in high-pressure environments and the impact that intentional time away can have on calming the nervous system.
We curate the type of small-batch, white-glove experiences that if I had gone through when I was in consulting, would have prevented me from burning out.
Whether you’re interested in a retreat for yourself or an offsite for your team, we’ll exceed your expectations from the moment we start working together.
Authenticity
Bring all of yourself. All your weirdness, all your ups and downs, all your heart - all of you is welcome at Sand and Salt Escapes.
Our Values
Exploration
Be open to new people, perspectives, and experiences. There's so much to explore within ourselves, others, and the world.
Simplicity
Things don’t have to be complicated. Cut through the noise, focus on the outcomes, and do what you say you’re going to do.
Kindness
Treat others the way they want to be treated and assume positive intentions. You never know what someone else is navigating.
A Note from Max…
I know what it’s like to work long days, late nights, and weekends. I’ve felt the pressure and stress to constantly perform when all you want to do is rest.
Every element of what we do is designed to help our guests reset from the hustle of their day-to-day. We take care of every detail, from airport transfers to private chefs to invigorating movement classes to unique mindfulness activities.
We curate experiences that give our guests the space to focus on what’s most important – themselves.
I can't wait to meet and learn about you.
