About Nikita Leys

Mission & Vision

This retreat was born from my own healing journey — one shaped by years of struggling with severe IBS, disordered eating, and a painful disconnection from my body. For a long time, food was a source of fear and frustration. I tried every diet, every “fix,” and nothing helped. In fact, most of it made things worse — physically and emotionally.

It wasn’t until I surrendered to a slower, more mindful way of living — rooted in Ayurveda, cooking, and self-compassion — that true healing began.

This retreat exists to offer others what I once so badly needed:
A space to stop fighting with food and start listening to the body.
A space to reconnect with nourishment in its fullest form — not just through what we eat, but how, when, and why we eat. Read More
