Staff stands in the yoga pavillion at Present Moment Retreat

Come meet our Happy Family!

Tom Morisette

Founder/Visionary
Tom's inherent fascination and interconnectivity with nature, the arts, world culture and self-expression has led him on the path of bringing this passionate vision called Present Moment Retreat into the reality that many experience today. He is a Midwesterner, born and raised in Minneapolis Minnesota, with a naturally curious and creative personality. As a result he has been involved in the field of fine arts, design and building since he can remember. While his background is in design, painting and music; somewhere along the way he needed to understand the world of business to stay afloat. He owned/managed several retail stores and a small wellness product company over the years; then one day awakened to the discovery that being in service to others in an altruistic manner was to be his focus…his purpose. Hence the seed was planted for co-creating Present Moment Retreat. Read More

Rocio Roman Porcayo

Resort Advisor
Rocio hails from Morelos, Mexico... one of 12 children in the small agricultural town of Temixco. She was born with a natural curiosity for nature, exploring, adventure, and a passion for cooking that took hold at just 9-years-old. Her love for biology; intuition within the healing arts and a thirst for sciences led Rocio to the School of Medicine in Mexico City and subsequently to the School of Dentistry where she graduated in 1997. Since moving to Zihuatanejo 21 years ago, Rocio has transformed the lives of hundreds of delighted patients through her brilliant Oral Care practice. She loves gardening, dancing, cooking, farmers markets, and transforming Mother Nature's elements into beautiful, delicious, and nutritious cuisine. As a tree hugger, environmental protector, and future nutritional coach, Rocio strives to make certain that the footprints she leaves only serve to harmonize this earth. Many of her most treasured moments find Rocio surrounded by family and friends... celebrating life with her usual grace and gratitude.
