Our food philosophy – nourishing the nervous system at the Spring Retreat

Food at the Spring Equinox Retreat is chosen with the nervous system in mind.
As we transition from winter into spring, the body and brain benefit from steady energy, digestive support and a sense of safety rather than stimulation. Meals are built around whole, seasonal ingredients that help regulate blood sugar, support the gut–brain connection and reduce unnecessary physiological stress.
Fermented foods, fibre-rich vegetables, pulses and whole grains provide nourishment for the microbiome, while fresh roots, herbs and warming spices such as ginger and turmeric support circulation and digestion without overwhelm. Dishes are layered, warm and satisfying, encouraging a calm, attentive relationship with food and allowing the nervous system to settle, adapt and gently re-engage with energy and focus.

Our amazing chef Sandy from Dartmoor Larder creates our menu with love and care. The food at our retreats is an amazing, delicious highlight :)

Good mental wellbeing is rarely built through making big changes.

This month, I’m opening The Three Peas - a short course designed to support those foundations in a clear, practical and compassionate way.

If you’re feeling ready to begin gently, this is a good place to start.

THE THREE PEAS A FOUNDATION FOR EVERYDAY MENTAL WELLBEING The Three Peas course is a simple, practical starting point for anyone who wants to feel steadier, calmer and more in control of their mental health. Rather than offering quick fixes or complex techniques, this course focuses on three evid

Many women find it difficult to fully switch off, even when they rest.
Thoughts stay busy and your body remains alert.

This Spring Equinox retreat focuses on helping the nervous system move out of constant responsiveness and into a state of ease.

Through guided relaxation, gentle movement, time outdoors, and shared meals, body and mind are supported to settle and reset.

Early Bird prices are available for a limited time- see my website for details ( in the comments below)

Reflecting on the November Neuronourish series - 'Settling' in my latest blog post.

November’s NEURONOURISH theme was Settling , and the conversations that unfolded were so honest and human that I’ve been thinking about them ever since. What surprised me most was how many of us quietly struggle with the same thing: feeling guilty about resting. Almost everyone in the group men
