Maybe something in you has changed.
Your energy isn't as reliable.
Your body doesn't respond the way it once did.
You've changed your diet. Seen the practitioners. Done the research.
Maybe you've found some improvement. Maybe you've simply become very good at coping.
This retreat is for people who know there's more to feeling well than simply learning to live with less.
For fourteen days in the Kathmandu Hills, you'll experience authentic Panchakarma under the care of experienced Ayurvedic doctors and therapists, with my personal guidance throughout.
No miracle promises.
Just the time, care and expertise to discover what your body can do when it's genuinely supported.
Support your body’s natural ability to restore balance and vitality
Nourish digestion, energy and resilience from the inside out
Create space for deeper rest, clarity and reconnection with yourself
Experience authentic Panchakarma in a small, carefully supported retreat in the Kathmandu Hills
Why come with me?
I’ve been a yoga teacher for over 25 years, and completed my Ayurvedic training in 2016. These practices are something I've lived with and come back to over many years.
My Panchakarma connection comes from my own lived experience.
After a severe concussion, I worked with a western medical team for several months without getting the results I needed. It was through Panchakarma at our centre in Nepal that I experienced a profound shift, a full recovery and my health returned.
I also noticed that the Panchakarma relieved many of my perimenopause symptoms, and I felt a clear return to balance in my body and energy.
Because of this, I've worked closely with and carefully selected the center in Nepal where our retreat takes place, ensuring that it meets the highest standards of traditional Ayurvedic care and integrity. It is a place I trust deeply, a home from home.
This retreat is something I've personally experienced as supportive and transformative, and I now guide others through it with care so they feel safe and supported throughout.
You don't need fixing
You need space, care and the right conditions for your system to reset
A centre I chose because I trust the people behind it
For fourteen days, you’ll stay in the Kathmandu Hills at the Panchakarma centre I know personally and trust deeply.
This is a place where traditional Ayurvedic care is practised with patience, skill and genuine attention to each person who arrives.
Every guest works with their own Ayurvedic doctor. Your treatment plan begins with a personal consultation and evolves according to what your body needs, not a fixed programme where everyone receives the same experience.
That is one of the things I value most about authentic Panchakarma. It is not about applying a formula. It is about listening, observing and responding.
The doctors and therapists here have spent years dedicating themselves to this work. They are also some of the warmest and most caring people I know. Many guests leave describing the centre not simply as a place they visited, but as somewhere they felt genuinely looked after.
Your days include traditional Ayurvedic treatments such as massage, herbal therapies and steam treatments, along with the deeper Panchakarma therapies where appropriate. Everything is guided by your individual consultation and your body’s response throughout the process.
Alongside your treatments, there is time each day for yoga, meditation, breathwork and yoga nidra, practices that support rest, awareness and the transition into a slower rhythm.
Fresh Ayurvedic meals are prepared daily to support digestion and nourish you throughout your stay.
For two weeks, life becomes simpler.
A time to be cared for. A time to listen. A time to reconnect with what your body has been asking for.
"At 49, I'd started to accept waking up sore and tired as just part of life. After the Panchakarma, something genuinely shifted. My body felt lighter, my energy came back and
even my joint aches eased. I left feeling rested and like I'd been properly cared for, for the first time in a very long time.”"

What You Take Home
A body that feels lighter, clearer and more at ease.
Digestion, sleep and energy that have had the chance to properly settle.
Hormonal balance and nervous system calm that extends well beyond the retreat itself.
A calmer nervous system, and the beginning of a different relationship with your own body.
Personalised guidance from your Ayurvedic doctor, including tailored recommendations for herbs, daily routines and nutrition, so the process continues well after you've left Nepal.
And a clearer sense of what your body actually needs, day to day, going forward.
Your Retreat Day
Each day follows a steady rhythm designed around your Panchakarma process.
Mornings begin with your Ayurvedic consultation. Your doctor reviews how you are feeling, observes your progress and adjusts your treatments where needed.
Nothing is fixed or formulaic. Your experience evolves with you.
Your treatments are thoughtfully spaced throughout the day. Traditional Ayurvedic massage, herbal therapies, steam treatments and other supportive practices are combined according to your individual needs and your body’s response.
Panchakarma includes deeper traditional therapies, such as nasya and basti, where appropriate. These are recommended only after consultation with your Ayurvedic doctor and are carried out with care, privacy and respect.
This is one of the things that makes authentic Panchakarma different from a standard wellness retreat. The process is not something you simply follow, it is something that is carefully guided around you.
Alongside your treatments, there is time for yoga, meditation, breathwork and rest. The slower rhythm of the retreat creates space to notice things you don't usually have time to.
The centre itself provides a peaceful setting for this process: forest views, a comfortable king ensuite room, tranquil gardens and a dedicated yoga space.
Every detail is designed to support a quieter way of being so that, for fourteen days, your focus can simply be on receiving care.
You may recognise yourself here
This retreat may be right for you if...
You've spent years trying to feel better, through diet, treatment, research or sheer determination, and still sense there's something missing. Perhaps it shows up as fatigue, digestive trouble, headaches or aches that never fully resolve. Or perhaps you simply don’t feel like yourself anymore.
You're functioning well enough, but you've become very good at coping rather than actually feeling well.
Your body doesn't recover the way it once did. Your energy isn't as reliable, your sleep has changed, or you carry yourself differently through the day.
You want to invest in your long-term health before your body forces the decision for you.
You're curious about what becomes possible if you gave yourself real time, care and expert guidance, rather than managing everything alone.
You don't need to arrive exhausted or seriously unwell.
Many people come not because they have one clear problem to solve, but because they can feel something has changed. They don't necessarily have a name for it. They just know they no longer feel as at home in their body as they once did, and they're curious about what might be possible if they gave themselves the time and care to explore that.
By the end of the retreat, most guests feel physically lighter, mentally clearer and more at ease in their body, extending long after they return home.
"The center is serene, the rooms and beds are so comfortable, the massages are superb, and the entire staff is top notch. I highly, highly recommend it. I asked the doctor on my first day what I would feel like after a Panchakarma. He said, “You will just feel happier and at peace.” And he was exactly right!"

What is Panchakarma?
Panchakarma is a traditional Ayurvedic medical process that has been practised in India and Nepal for thousands of years. Rather than focusing on a single symptom, it takes a broader view of your health and creates the conditions for your body to rest, recover and respond in its own way.
In Ayurveda, it's understood that the demands of everyday life can gradually affect digestion, energy, sleep and our overall sense of wellbeing.
Panchakarma is designed to address those underlying patterns through personalised treatments, carefully prepared food, daily medical guidance and time away from the pace of everyday life.
Another important Ayurvedic concept is ojas - our deepest reserves of vitality and resilience. Supporting ojas is one of the aims of Panchakarma, which is why many people describe the benefits as continuing well beyond their time in Nepal.
Like all traditional medical systems, Ayurveda has its own philosophy and understanding of health. While Panchakarma isn't a substitute for conventional medical care, many people choose it because they're looking for a more comprehensive way of caring for themselves alongside the approaches they already use.

"This was my first experience with an Ayurvedic retreat. I found it truly relaxing. And the location is beautiful. Many of the people I met have been to other centers over the years in India and elsewhere. They all said that the treatments here are the best they have experienced. I have to agree that all the treatments I got were top notch. The food is simple and delicious. Everyone was very kind."

FAQ
Questions you may have
Is Panchakarma safe - I've never done anything like this before?
Yes. Panchakarma has been practised for thousands of years as a time-tested process of restoration and balance. At this centre, every guest is assessed by experienced Ayurvedic doctors before treatments begin, and everything is tailored to your constitution and current state of health. You are never pushed beyond what your system can safely integrate. The intention is always deep, supported restoration. Not pressure. Not overwhelm.
Do I need experience with Ayurveda, yoga or detox retreats?
Not at all. Many guests arrive curious but new to Ayurveda and Panchakarma. You’ll be gently guided through each stage, with clear explanations and ongoing support from experienced practitioners. There will be yoga options to choose from. This retreat is designed for thoughtful people seeking depth and restoration, not experts.
Will it be intense or uncomfortable?
The process is deep, and also nurturing. This is not a spa retreat, and it is normal for the body to go through periods of adjustment as it begins to release and rebalance. You are fully supported throughout this process. Treatments are grounding and restorative, meals are carefully prepared, and rest is prioritised throughout the day. Some moments may feel unfamiliar as your system shifts, but you are held and guided at every stage. The intention is always to support the body’s natural capacity to restore, not overwhelm it.
What does Panchakarma help with?
Panchakarma supports deep restoration for those noticing shifts in energy, sleep, digestion, stress levels or emotional steadiness. It is especially supportive during times of hormonal transition, including perimenopause and menopause, when the body may feel less predictable than it once did. Many guests arrive feeling out of sync with themselves, more easily depleted, or simply aware that they need a deeper level of support than rest alone can offer.
What if I’ve never travelled to Nepal, and I'm travelling alone, will I feel safe?
Yes. We meet your flight and take you to the retreat centre. Many of our guests are travelling solo. The retreat centre is well established and experienced in welcoming international guests, and offers a warm and nourishing environment. Accommodation, meals, treatments, transfers and daily care are all organised for you so you can simply arrive and rest into the experience. Nepal is known for its warmth and hospitality, and many guests quickly feel at ease and at home.
What happens if I get sick or have a reaction?
You are in safe hands. You are being cared for by trained Ayurvedic doctors and therapists who are highly experienced in supporting the body through every stage of the Panchakarma process, including the moments of adjustment that can arise as the body begins to release and rebalance. My role is to make sure you feel safe and well looked after throughout. Your comfort and wellbeing is our highest priority at every stage.
Why are spaces limited?
Panchakarma is a deeply personalised process that requires individual attention and careful guidance throughout. By keeping numbers small, every guest receives the level of care this process genuinely requires. It also allows for a quieter, more contained experience — one that supports deeper rest and restoration.
Is there any support after I return home?
The care doesn't end at the airport. You'll be given recommendations from your consultants in terms of practical tools and adjustments to support you in the days and weeks following the retreat. I will also be checking in with you to make sure that your transition back home is smooth and easeful.
If you’ve read through and feel this may be something you’d like to explore, you’re very welcome to get in touch.
I can then send you a short application form so I can understand a little more about you, your health, what you’re currently experiencing and how best to support you.
If you'd prefer to talk things through first, you’re welcome to book a short call and we can talk through any questions and see if this feels like the right support for you at this time.
There is no pressure to decide. It’s simply an open first step if you’d like to explore further.
