Paradise Villas, Nosara, Costa Rica
16 participants, personally selected

LEEF House is an immersive residential training experience for bodyworkers and massage therapists who want to learn the LEEF Method from the ground up.
Over seven nights in Costa Rica, you will live, learn and practise alongside the LEEF team and a small group of fellow participants. You will develop your technique, deepen your understanding of intentional touch and learn how to create the distinctive flow, connection and experience that define LEEF Massage.
Small by design. Personal by nature.
With only 16 places, the week allows for extensive hands-on instruction, individual feedback and meaningful time to practise.
LEEF Massage is about much more than learning a sequence of techniques. Good hands, natural movement and a strong sense of flow are important, but the person delivering the experience matters even more.
Technique can be taught, practised and refined. The ability to connect with another person in a thoughtful, caring and intuitive way must come from somewhere deeper.
It is not simply something you perform. It is an experience you create.
Everyone is welcome to apply. Every applicant will meet LEEF founder Jason Allen and LEEF partner Paul Munroe by video call.
Tell us about your experience, your intentions and why LEEF speaks to you. A short video is all it takes.
Join Jason and Paul for a personal video interview.
Sixteen participants will be chosen for fit, character and potential.
Accepted applicants select and confirm their accommodation.
Acceptance, payment and attendance do not guarantee certification. Participants must engage fully, remain receptive to coaching and demonstrate the required understanding, technique and performance throughout the week.
Jason and Paul will personally select the applicants they believe are the strongest match for the LEEF Method, the training environment and the experience we want to create together. Professional experience matters, but selection is not based on technique alone. Character, empathy, communication, intuition and the ability to make others feel safe and cared for are equally important.
LEEF House will take place at Paradise Villas in Nosara, Costa Rica, a private tropical property set as close to the ocean as Costa Rican regulations allow.
A private pathway leads directly to the beach. Between training sessions, you can enjoy the communal pool, gather in the open-air rancho, relax among the tropical gardens or spend time by the ocean. Training takes place in the beautiful open-air shala, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the Costa Rican jungle.
This is not simply where you will stay. The entire property becomes part of the LEEF House experience.
Paradise Villas sits within a lush tropical environment. The bedrooms are clean, comfortable, air-conditioned and screened, but this is still the Costa Rican jungle. You should be comfortable with the possibility of encountering insects, birds, geckos and other local wildlife around the property. This natural environment is part of what makes Paradise Villas so beautiful and unique.
Sixteen participants. Ten completely private villas. Six places in shared villas.
$5,000 USD

To apply, send us your details and a short video introducing yourself: who you are, your background, why you want to learn the LEEF Method and why you would like to be part of LEEF House.
Nothing polished or professionally filmed is necessary. We just want to meet you and get a feel for who you are.
Every applicant will be invited to a video call with Jason and Paul. It gives us a chance to meet each other, answer questions and make sure LEEF House feels like the right fit for everyone.
