For years I have been a fan of going to retreats. I find it so beneficial to take time out of my busy life and reflect on my health, spend time eating well, exercising, meeting interesting like minded people and planning my goals.
Having been to retreats around the world, I knew that I wanted to be able to offer a health retreat package to my patients. It is another way for me to connect with patients and really get to know them and help them create total health.
I’ve taken my favourite things from all the retreats I’ve been too and brought them together in my own holistic health retreat. Health can be fun! It doesn’t have to be just non-stop exercise bootcamp or starving yourself; it can involve eating delicious food, going to the beach, inspiring talks, yoga for all levels and having a laugh.
I want the people on my retreats to create a vision for their life and health, and during their time at the retreat, we try and create a plan for this to happen. I have a consultation with every single person on my retreats to get to know them well and address their health needs.
If you’re ready to try something new and to focus on yourself and your health, this is it.
I look forward to meeting you soon!

Overall Experience

It was a truly magical experience – one that I will never ever forget. The beautiful location, wonderful weather, simply outstanding yoga and meditation from Steve, excellent food, your lovely approachable and friendly manner, coupled with your vast in-depth medical and holistic knowledge and support, creates the perfect balance of what an exceptional retreat should be. For me personally, the surprising element of the retreat was the blessing that our group was full of incredible, warm, funny and loving women. A life changing experience. I loved it.

Overall Experience

Perfection. The pace was spot on, I felt immediately relaxed helped by a massage upon arrival! Yoga was amazing with Steve and the health discussions illuminating… I came away with a better understanding of myself and how I can enhance my own health and well-being… I loved our trips to the beaches and meals out were a really treat. The food at the retreat was so lovely and a highlight for me! I can’t wait to join Sohère and Steve again on another retreat!

Overall Experience

Totally awesome. This has been such a fantastic experience. The retreat has been planned so well, with a balance of brilliant yoga and meditation. Delicious, nutritional food. Inspiring talks. Plenty of relaxation time by the sea. But the best part was spending the week with Sohère. I know that she is going to make me well again. I hope to return again soon to this magical island.
