Retreats with Julia

Come home to yourself.

NeuroWellness retreats — each one a different doorway into the same intention: regulating the nervous system, nourishing the brain-gut axis, and restoring through gentle yoga in beautiful, meaningful places chosen with care.

Since 2020, I have been creating retreat experiences for women — with some retreats open to both men and women — in places that hold a quality of stillness that has to be found, not made.

From day retreats at Tofte Manor, The Grange, and West Lexham in the UK, to longevity weeks on the Greek island of Ikaria, in the High Tatras mountains of Slovakia, and next year in Bali — each retreat is different. The location changes, the culture shifts, the landscape brings its own medicine. But the intention stays the same.

Every retreat I create is built around one purpose: to give you enough space to actually feel something shift.

That means slower mornings. Somatic and restorative sessions that work with the body, not against it. Meditation, breathwork, and quiet reflection. Nourishing food prepared with real care — always.

Conversations that go somewhere. Connection that doesn't feel forced. And the kind of comfortable, well-equipped space — whether that's a handcrafted yurt in Bedfordshire or an open-air yoga shala in Bali — where you can feel genuinely at home from the moment you arrive. Each location is chosen carefully — not just for its beauty, but for the particular quality of presence it brings to the work.

What I have learned from six years of running retreats is that people do not need to be pushed into growth. They need to feel safe enough to let it happen on its own. My role is to create the conditions, and then to hold the space with care — present throughout, awake to what each person needs, there if someone needs encouragement, adjustment, or simply to be seen.
