The Nourished Woman:
Nutrition & Yoga Retreat
Ubud, Bali
6 Nights
*SOLD OUT* Sunday 27th July - Saturday 2 August, 2025
Are you a woman in your 40's or 50's who's tired of the confusion around what to eat at this stage of life for optimal health, and nothing you’ve done in the past feels like it works anymore?
Do you crave authentic connections, good food, and straight talk? Look no further, because this ideal retreat awaits!
At this retreat, you will be served up more than just delicious meals; I’ll be dishing out the secrets to understanding your body's needs so you can achieve the health results you deserve to move through life with more zest.
My approach? Real talk, all the time. No gimmicks, no fad diets, just evidence-based strategies tailored to fit your unique lifestyle. Life’s too short to eat kale and quinoa forever…there are other ways.
You will leave, feeling revitalised, but also with greater confidence on how to take care of yourself once you arrive home.
As you know...I LOVE food!
I will share my top suggestions for the best local restaurants & coffee shops. We will explore my favourite yoga studios, participate in a local cooking class, and enjoy tranquil walks. All selected to provide an authentic taste of the best that Ubud has to offer, & all a short distance from our accommodation.
So, if you're ready to take control of your health, indulge in good food, and surround yourself with a tribe of supportive, like-minded women, then it's time to join us. Let's laugh, learn, and eat our way to a healthier, happier you.
Your journey to food harmony starts here.
Hi! I'm Mel
...I'm your retreat host.
As a degree-qualified nutritionist & yoga teacher, I feel priviledged to have helped hundreds of women navigate their health, to feel better, so they can start living a fuller life.
In mid-life, the nutrition strategies need to be different & it is my passion to help women feel great again & come up with strategies that fit with their busy lifestyle.
There is no time to feel confused & overwhelmed with your health...there's still way too much fun stuff to do...and guess what? This retreat is just the start of all the fun :)
So lets get to it!
What's Included?

Our group villa is located just outside the heart of Ubud & we have it all to ourselves! There will be a maximum of 12 of us.
Located in Penestanan, known as the artist's village area, we are surrounded by amazing cafes, numerous yoga studios, serene walks through rice paddies & of course, good coffee!
The villa overlooks rice fields with views of Mt Agung and Campuhan ridge. The quiet, and discreet setting is only a 15 minute walk to the heart of magical Ubud.

Better yet, you will go home with meal ideas ready to implement, a recipe e-book with some of my favourite recipes, and knowledge on what will work for your body type.
The yoga sessions are optional, but will be accessible to all levels. I have picked four of my favourite studios so you get to see these amazing spaces, which are breathtaking to practice in.
