About this Retreat
I am a yoga teacher with over two decades of experience teaching and running retreats, and a certified coach specialising in Ayurvedic psychology (Sattvavajaya, the Ayurvedic approach to mental clarity, emotional regulation, and strengthening the mind), trained at the Rosenberg Academy in Germany. For more than twenty years, I have taught yogic and Ayurvedic lifestyle medicine through retreats, mentoring programmes, and consultancy, supporting people in restoring mental and physical vitality and guiding practitioners who wish to create retreats rooted in depth and purpose.
This work grew out of personal necessity. After years working in television news production within a high-pressure, fast-paced environment, I experienced a major health crisis. What initially felt like a breakdown became a turning point, compelling me to understand illness from the inside and take responsibility for my own healing.
That inquiry led me to India, where I immersed myself in Yoga, Ayurveda, and Vedic sciences. My studies later expanded through nature-based traditions and mind-body approaches across Africa, South America, and Europe.
Alongside this, I trained in Relational Life Therapy with Terry Real and studied nutritional and detoxification approaches to autoimmune conditions with Dr Gabriel Cousens.
Through lived experience and long clinical collaboration, two truths became clear: food is medicine, and the mind and body are inseparable. My work centres on helping people return to connection with their personal nature and nature itself through how they eat, sleep, move, and tend to their inner life.
When alignment is restored, the nervous system settles, hormones recalibrate, immunity strengthens, and meaning returns. From that place, clarity emerges about how to live and what one is here to offer.
Details of this retreat
The 5–10 Day Longevity Retreat Programme is an immersive Ayurvedic retreat held in Norfolk, designed to support longevity, vitality, and sustainable wellbeing through personalised care, food, daily practices, and time in nature. The programme takes place on a regenerative estate in England and brings the depth of classical Indian Ayurvedic lineage onto English soil, without the need for long-haul travel.
Guided by senior Vaidyas from a renowned Ayurvedic healing village in India, the retreat is rooted in traditional practice and delivered with integrity, care, and continuity. The programme draws on Rasayana, the Ayurvedic science of longevity, which supports long-term vitality through attention to digestion, nervous system balance, daily rhythm, nourishment, and restorative living.
Participants engage in a gentle process of cleansing and restoration shaped around individual constitution, current imbalances, and physical capacity. The retreat does not follow a fixed timetable. Instead, care unfolds through daily one-to-one check-ins with a senior Vaidya, bespoke Ayurvedic treatments, and practices that are adjusted as the body responds over time.
Daily life during the retreat includes freshly prepared Ayurvedic meals made with seasonal, biodynamically grown produce from the estate, gentle yoga, meditation, and breath practices, educational talks on Ayurvedic longevity and daily living, extended time in nature, and on-site emotional support and therapeutic coaching to support emotional release, integration, and sustained healing alongside the physical detox.
The programme runs for a minimum of five days and up to ten days. Length of stay is confirmed following an initial consultation to ensure the programme is appropriate and safely tailored. Group size is limited to a maximum of twelve participants to ensure continuity of care and individual attention.
This retreat is suited to those seeking long lasting healing, as well as practitioners and wellbeing professionals wishing to deepen their understanding of Ayurveda as a lived, practical system for longevity. It is not a spa or wellness break, but an immersive retreat grounded in daily rhythm, personalised care, and ease.
The programme continues beyond the retreat itself. Participants receive three months of structured aftercare, including monthly online group sessions focused on seasonal living, longevity practices, and integration into everyday life.
