Meet the founders
Altavita began with two people on opposite sides of medicine. Megan Swan, a Canadian wellness strategist, spent fifteen years watching what burnout does to high performers before disease ever shows up on a chart. Dr. José Antonio Muñoa, a vascular surgeon, spent twenty years in the operating room seeing what arrives when prevention comes too late. Altavita is the retreat they built to close that gap.
Megan Swan
Co-Founder & CEO · Wellness Strategy
Megan is a wellness strategist with more than fifteen years of integrative wellness experience and the founder of Megan Swan Wellness, where she coaches high-impact female founders on sustainable energy, nervous system regulation, and burnout prevention. She holds degrees in Psychology and International Relations from the University of Calgary and a Master of Arts in Integrated Studies, alongside certifications spanning health coaching, NLP, plant-based nutrition, and yoga.
She is the author of 10 Day Detox (2019) and Marinating In Chaos (2025), and hosts the podcast Wellness As A Way of Life. Years of coaching leaders through burnout convinced her that wellness is not optional — it is the key to sustained impact. She founded Altavita to compress months of diagnostic appointments into one restorative week, and she leads the strategy, guest experience, and wellness programming that surround every medical day.
Dr. José Antonio Muñoa
Co-Founder · Vascular & Endovascular Surgery · 20 years
Dr. Muñoa is a general and vascular surgeon with 20 years of experience in vascular and endovascular surgery, and a recognized leader in Latin America for endovascular limb salvage and the treatment of venous disease. His expertise spans diabetic foot, varicose veins, deep venous thrombosis, revascularization, and arterialization. He trained at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, with advanced endovascular and limb-salvage training at Policlinico Multimedica in Milan, Italy.
At Altavita he leads the medical side of every retreat: the diagnostic protocols, the hospital partnerships in Chiapas, and the multidisciplinary network of board-certified specialists he assembled across cardiology, radiology, oncology, fertility, and beyond.
Meet the full medical teamProactive medicine, delivered like hospitality
The two met in Mexico and recognized the same problem from different directions: the people who most need comprehensive diagnostics are the ones who never make time for them. Testing that takes months of appointments at home rarely gets finished, and results arrive without context or a plan.
Their answer was to choreograph hospital-grade testing into a single week in Chiapas, wrap it in restorative travel, and deliver every result in a private one-to-one session with a clear path forward. Megan brings the wellness architecture; Dr. Muñoa brings the medicine. Every retreat runs on both.
