Some days I am more wolf than woman and
I am still learning how to stop apologising for my wild.
– Nikita Gill
Are you ready to embrace your wild,
feel more free, more connected?
Sometimes, a woman needs to retreat from the world into the wilderness, away from the life she leads and the many roles she plays, to just be her. Where she can walk barefoot, feel the wind in her hair, inhale the cool breath of life and dance to her own beat.
Where she may find her joy and heal!
So come with your beautiful bodies, laugh lines and wrinkles, life’s battle wounds and scars to rejoice in your wild and your wisdom.
INTRODUCING
Blissful You
PLEASURE & WELLNESS RETREAT FOR WOMEN
A unique fusion of pleasure coaching, yoga, and Ayurveda.
Join us as we explore the intersection of pleasure, mindfulness, and ancient wisdom to foster a deeper well-being.
This holistic experience is designed to help you peel back the layers and reconnect deeply with yourself.
This retreat offers a safe and nurturing space for you to embrace your authentic self and cultivate a richer, more vibrant life.
BOOK MY SPACE
It’s time to drop the taboos and the tiptoeing and get right down to it.
Tell me
- Have you lost your sexy to the daily grind? Wondering when was the last time you felt real pleasure?
- Do you feel like a stranger in your own body? A bit disenchanted, disconnected and unloved?
- Maybe you are in a relationship but feel you’ve lost yourself along the way and don’t know how to express yourself fully to your partner?
- Or perhaps you’ve come out of a long- term relationship and you’re trying to piece yourself together again, figuring out who you are, what you want and how to express it.
- Maybe you feel stuck or just don’t know how to explore your sexual self.
How liberating (and, dare we say, grown up) it would be to voice your needs and desires, intimately or loudly and honour the part of you that deserves to be heard.
Imagine...
- Stepping back into life with a deeper sense of self, inner balance and harmony
- Feeling deeply connected to your body, its needs and desires
- Uncovering the many layers to yourself and discovering there is more to you than meets the eye
- Embracing who you are, exactly as you are and loving it!
- Being more present with yourself and your relationships
- Creating a life that is meaningful, joyous and fulfilled. A life that is truly you.
Because once you take agency of your body and your feelings,
you free the real you!
Ready to get cosy and intimate with the real you?
I started my first session with Marie feeling small, worried and lacking confidence, I now feel empowered. I feel sexy and delicious for the time in years. I am giggling.”

Hi, I’m Marie
Certified Life and Sexual Wellbeing Coach
An advocate for exploring your sexual desires and embracing pleasure! Wanna know how I see life? As a series of deep experiences which transform us.
Over the last few years, I’ve been on my own transformational journey, mostly triggered by choosing to leave my 20-year marriage and slowly finding myself again. For the first time in my life, I started acknowledging and understanding my needs and exploring my own sexual desires, experiencing life with a new, exciting lens.
Through my coaching practice Lilith your Life www.lilithyourlife.com, I work with women to help them (re)connect to and enhance their sexual wants, needs, and desires. What it all comes down to is power and autonomy. I hold a safe space to start talking about sex. To communicate your desires. To explore what feels good for you. And most of all, to take back control and feel truly ALIVE again.

Hi, I’m Edyta
Certified Ayurveda Consultant and Life Coach
Through Ayurveda, I help my clients understand their strengths and weaknesses, and how they can use them to their advantage. I help them find and restore their balance and well-being. I am passionate about holistic healing and well-being.
The beauty of Ayurveda is that it teaches us that awareness and the re-establishment of balance can prevent and arrest the onset of disease. Ayurveda is a unique individualised medicinal system that takes into consideration the mind, body, and spirit connection. There are no isolated diseases or ‘one size fits all’ treatments. Ayurveda is the science of life, a science of self-healing and living.

Hi, I;m Anu
Certified Hatha Yoga teacher and founder of Anuyoga, Yoga for Healing
I truly believe that we heal from a place of joy. And that yoga is as much about finding our ananda, our inner bliss, as it is about finding our alignment and balance. The yoga I practise and teach embodies this.
My yoga journey began in India, way back in the late nineties, when I met my guru. But it was only after I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2016, that I truly experienced the healing power of yoga; inspiring me to become a teacher.
I am now dedicated to helping others find healing through yoga. Empowering them to connect deeply with themselves and their journey. My approach combines the ancient wisdom of yoga with modern research. It is informed as much by my love of yoga practice and philosophy as it by my passion for science.
Other qualifications - Certified Pranic Healer and Yoga in Healthcare Alliance teacher.

“What a difference that session with Marie made. Having someone to open up to, to discuss very intimate things with, without worrying about exposing my boyfriend or me to a friend, was tremendously powerful.”
Cath, UK
“Thank you, Edyta. You had an intuitive understanding of what I needed. As a true spiritual mentor, you pointed me in the right direction and aided me in my healing journey.”
Malgarzota, Poland
“ Anu’s retreat was one of the most transformational experiences of my life. I experienced a shift I didn’t think was ever possible. I was able to push through one my deepest fears and overcome a phobia.
Anu is a gentle and intuitive teacher who instantly connects with her students. Would recommend her retreats to anyone.”
Preeti, India
