The Nourished Woman
Nutrition & Yoga Retreat
Ubud, Bali
6 Nights
Sunday 26th July - Saturday 1 August, 2026
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 & yoga teacher.
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.
My teaching style is friendly and genuine, and I like to make yoga and good nutrition accessible to all.
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!
Private Group Accommodation
Our small group hotel is located just outside the heart of Ubud & we have it all to ourselves! There will be a maximum of 11 guests.
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!
Tucked away in a serene hideaway surrounded by lush greenery, where traditional Balinese charm meets modern comfort. The rooms, although basic are tranquil, and surrounded by a sparkling pool, and peaceful spaces perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring Ubud.
What’s Included?
Daily Nutrition & Yoga Sessions
The nutrition sessions are designed to be both educational & practical. You will gain information specific to women in mid-life and tools on how to eat to meet your health goals, whatever they may be.
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 will be a mix of styles / pace, suitable for a range of levels. I have picked a few of my favourite studios so you get to see these amazing spaces, which are breathtaking to practice in.
