A RETREAT LIKE NO OTHER
HEALING FROM THE INSIDE OUT
RELEASE, RESET & REDESIGN
This has been years in the making. When I set foot on this eco-lodge deep in the South of Morocco nestled between majestic sand dunes and calm blue lagoon waters, I knew it was time. Decades of clinical experience, breathwork facilitation, stress management training & integrative medicine will provide the backdrop. The depth of the human condition will be the canvas
Designed to go deep fast
Step off the treadmill of overwhelm, stress & imposed expectations
Press pause, immerse yourself in nature and re-examine life
Allow yourself to be supported instead of managing others
Take home the tools for emotional regulation
Release your unhelpful patterns paving the way for joy
Why I'm passionate about what I do. Neuroscience is the secret sauce!
Hint: It's all connected to the depth, quality and power of the human experience resulting in health & vitality.
GO FROM
Feeling the relentless tension knotting your shoulders, a constant reminder of deadlines, worries and expectations. Each night trying to switch off the rush of adrenaline, a restless mind racing, its whispers of inadequacy drowning out the silence. A palpable heaviness on your chest with each responsibility, an inner knowing of “there must be another way” accompanies you through the day interrupted by your body screaming it’s tired.
TO
A soothing exhale as the tension melts, releasing its grip on your neck, back and shoulders. Picture a mind that feels like a clear sky after a storm, observing life rather than being swept away by it. Deep breaths feel restorative, smiling because you can’t help it, in awe at your surroundings; simply feeling content that this is enough.
An inner knowing of “I can”, a quiet confidence of creating what was previously thought impossible. Guided by science, it’s as clear as day now: the unhelpful patterns, you as a child, why you do what you do and the link to physical health.
THE END RESULT?
A non negotiable desire for self care rooted in self worth and a total paradigm shift in how life will now be lived.

The moment
you realise stress dominates joy, affects your health & depletes your energy YOU ARE IN A STATE OF INFLAMMATION
You are lying down, feeling calm but also vulnerable. Suddenly, with your inhale comes the familiar pressure cooker feeling you’ve been keeping a lid on for years. But this time you don’t feel alone, your facilitator is present. You feel you can breathe a little deeper. Visuals of past hurts emerge, you observe them for the first time perhaps through the eyes of a younger you.
Hello shame, hi anger, resentments I see you too; oh and inadequacy I am listening..
I see your shapes, I see your colours and I see that you are not me. The familiar grip of tension and the knot in your stomach are there too but instead of running you stay. You breathe and whisper: I am safe to feel, I am safe to breathe. The noose starts to loosen and the weight starts to melt…
Peace, is that you?
