Gut Health Retreat in Plettenberg Bay - can you join us in September?


Such a brilliant way to reset your Being

We are excited to announce that we will be running our fourth gut health retreat at Bobbejaanskloof Private Nature Reserve from the

2nd - 7th September 2022.

The focus of the retreat is to restore gut health and to identify the root causes of illness and barriers to healing.

There will be a daily meditative practice and for the upcoming retreat we will be including a mindful foraging walk with the very knowledgeable Vanessa Brewer.

Prior to the retreat Dr Nicky Whiteman, will send you a questionnaire to obtain a full medical history. After reviewing this, as well as previous blood results, Dr Nicky Whiteman will send you to your local laboratory for any necessary blood tests so that we have these results available before the retreat.

During the five day retreat you will have two consultations with Dr Nicky Whiteman as well as sessions with various integrative therapists including massage, myofascial work, energy balancing and trauma release exercises.

You will eat delicious, gut healthy food prepared by Chef, Philippa Oldfield. Anastasia Jamieson, a well-known gut health nutritionist will assist with the menu design and together with Philippa, run workshops on bone broth making and fermentation.

There will be daily Yoga with Rosalind Dockendorf as well as
daily meditation with Joy Truscott.
