About this Retreat
Suzanne Belcher (Suzy) is a Transformational Life Coach, Registered Safari Guide, and Holistic Wellness Practitioner—bringing together decades of lived experience, resilience, and deep connection to the African landscape.
A third-generation Kenyan, Suzy does not simply host retreats—she guides journeys.
Her work is rooted in a powerful belief that Africa is not just a destination. It is a teacher.
Suzy blends Modern life coaching & mindset work
Ancient African wisdom & nature-based teachings
Biohacking and holistic wellness modalities
Her retreats are not built around performance or perfection.
They are designed for realignment, resilience, and reconnection.
Drawing from the rhythms of the wild—from the persistence of the lioness to the quiet intelligence of elephants—her work invites clients to relearn how to trust themselves.
Suzy's methodology is shaped by her rare combination of expertise:
Life Coaching (Robbins-Madanes trained)
Supporting clients through transitions, identity shifts, and rediscovery of purpose
Safari Guiding
Using the African wilderness as a living classroom for resilience, presence, and perspective
Holistic & Biohacking Practices
Integrating tools such as breathwork, nervous system regulation, light and frequency therapies, and restorative practices
This fusion creates an experience that is both grounded and expansive—where science meets soul.
Through Africa Wellness Retreats, Suzy curates luxury, small-group retreats across Africa—from the forests of Mt. Kenya to remote wilderness conservancies.
Each experience is:
Intimate (limited group sizes)
Immersive in nature
Structured yet spacious
Participants leave with:
A recalibrated nervous system
Renewed clarity and direction
Practical tools to integrate into daily life
✨ Philosophy
“Nothing is rushed. Everything is intentional.”
Tess is a Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT) who has been teaching for eight years. Her approach blends somatic-based asana, restorative yoga, yin, and meditation, with a strong focus on supporting mental health, nervous system regulation, trauma recovery, and those living with persistent pain.
As a yoga therapist, Tess takes a holistic approach, incorporating yoga techniques to support clients across their physical, energetic, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. She works closely with each individual to develop a tailored practice that meets their unique needs and supports their goals.
Details of this retreat
A Total Reset
Set on the slopes of Mount Kenya within the untouched beauty of Ragati Conservancy, this is not a retreat you attend.
It is a place you return to.
Where the noise drops away.
Where your body begins to regulate.
Where nature quietly leads the process.
Nothing is rushed.
Everything is intentional.
🌲 The Experience

This is not about doing more.
It is about undoing what no longer serves.
Your days unfold gently through a curated rhythm of practices designed to reset your nervous system, restore your energy, and reconnect you to yourself.
✨ What You’ll Experience
Guided breathwork & meditation
to shift you from constant “doing” into deep restoration

Forest immersion & grounding practices
allowing nature to regulate your system

Nourishing, intentional meals
designed to support your body’s reset
🌿 A Different Kind of Retreat
This is not a schedule packed with activity.
It is a structured yet spacious experience.
You will have:
Time to rest
Time to reflect
Time to simply be
Because true transformation does not happen in urgency.
It happens in presence.
🔥 Who This Is For
This retreat is for you if you feel:
Mentally exhausted, yet unable to fully switch off
At a crossroads—knowing something needs to shift
Disconnected from your body, your clarity, or your direction
You don’t need to be experienced in wellness practices.
You simply need to be ready to return to yourself.
🌍 The Setting
Ragati is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site—a protected forest on the slopes of Mount Kenya.
Here:
The air is clean
The water is alive
The silence is real
And your body remembers how to respond to that.
✨ What You Leave With
A recalibrated nervous system
Greater clarity and mental space
Practical tools to integrate into daily life
A deeper connection to yourself
This is not escape.
It is return.
⚡ Limited Spaces

Accommodation
Tucked deep within the ancient forests on the slopes of Mount Kenya, this secluded log cabin offers a rare kind of stillness. Surrounded by towering trees and the quiet rhythm of nature, it is a space designed for true disconnection from the outside world—and reconnection within. Warm, simple, and intentionally understated, the cabin blends comfort with wilderness. Mornings begin with mist rising through the forest, and evenings settle into the gentle hush of the mountain. This is not just where you stay. It is part of the experience.
