Sinking into your 50’s era can take time …
As a detox retreat nutritionist, I often get asked two central questions - how old are you … and are you married? .
I don’t generally answer these questions directly … because they are not important. But fine to ask, I am never offended.
I’m in my 50’s. I have learnt that well-being is not about chasing youth or seeking perfection - it’s about consistency, nourishment and showing up with kindness.
As for the second one - let’s just say I’m content - and that’s what truly matters.
What I really love is creating space for women to pause, reset and to reconnect with their health - whatever their age or stage. This is where the magic happens.
Next retreat dates here start September 14-20th …. dm me for further details …. Sign up for my newsletter on my website - link in my bio

I feel so blessed to have discovered this place. It’s my home from home.
I’ll be here for 4 weeks. Starting a 7 day detox this evening. So if you’d like to get an idea of what that look’s like, what’s involved then stay tuned in. I’ll talk you through it.
is located in the Algarve. Not far from Lagos so simple to get to from Faro.
Why do I love it here? I’m surrounded by incredible intrepid souls, and submerged in nature where we harvest fruit and vegetables daily. It’s currently fig and pomegranate season.
This is the perfect location to give your body a break from the overstimulation of 21st C living.
There are three detox retreats running during my stay so if you fancy joining me check the dates on my events page - link in my bio. Or DM me.

Five nourishing things I’ve loved about August …
Sauna - loving the sauna craze in Brighton. Hot/ cold therapy is such a wonderful way to clear your head, spend time with friends without turning to the pub, activate that ‘hormetic’ effect that initiates your body’s own healing strategies
Foraging - love to collect blackberries beneath vast Sussex summer skies, freeze them for the winter and use fresh ones for breakfast alongside local stewed apples. Why? Pesticide free berries, reduced plastic use, high antioxidants for multiple health benefits
Family walks - on beaches, along coasts inhaling sea air rich in minerals. Think Victorian era when pre Easy jet, holidays were about ‘a restorative trip to the coast’. Consider why we natural inhale large lungfuls of air when we stand on the coastline. Our body’s instinct to take in iodine and other minerals coming off the ocean
SUP - balance, mindfulness, concentration… nothing quite as restorative as a day of sea action
Cooking from scratch - love the wholesomeness of starting a cooking session with a bowl of tomatoes, some pizza dough, herbs from the garden and a chunk of good quality Parmesan
…. A day spent outside, mindful cooking, with family … simple things …

I’m excited about August …
There’s a certain kind of confidence which comes with age - the kind that lets you sit quietly in the sun and know you don’t need to chase anything. August feels like promise.
My role with reflects what I love about this life stage. I’m working alongside incredibly inspiring women with a passion. The brand is a science led, beautifully curated supplement platform. There’s a wonderful grace and fulfilment in looking after yourself with quality supplements as part of your wellness plan … and offer midlife is when we create the space to make this happen.
Flights … 50’s do not need to be a wind down, I see them as a wake up. Ageing with curiosity and freedom. Spontaneity keeps us thriving.
I’m excited to return to my home from home … there’s something deeply restorative about returning to places that hold you. Which is why this retreat sees 50% of its bookings are returning guests 💫 gentle, honest, real. Come join me? (dM me if you’d like to chat it over)
Sunlight and sauna - I’m tuning in more to the power of rhythm- morning light, sauna in the evening. Frequent trips to and .yo.yard in Brighton. Excited for the beautiful sauna
Ageing with intention. No urgency.

5 Reasons to Join Our Shared Wellness Retreat
1–8 October | Gozo, Malta see EVENTS page above for more details

Tailored Transformation
At Amchara Gozo, your retreat experience is fully personalised — from nutritional guidance to gentle detox protocols, all supported by expert practitioners. This isn’t one-size-fits-all — it’s your health, your pace, your path.

Total Reset in Mediterranean Bliss
Imagine waking to warm island breezes, nourishing your body with healing foods, and unwinding under golden skies. Gozo’s calming pace invites you to finally put yourself first.

A Chance to Walk the Path Together
It’s not always easy to find someone to cleanse or retreat with. That’s why I’ve created this space — so we can walk the path side by side. Support, solidarity, and the comfort of shared intention make all the difference.

Community & Kindred Spirits
You’ll be part of a small group of like-minded women — sharing stories, morning walks, laughter, and space to simply be. No pressure, no performance — just presence.

Real Change — Not a Fad
This retreat isn’t about quick fixes or detox gimmicks. It’s about creating sustainable shifts in health and lifestyle, grounded in functional medicine and real nourishment.

Do get in touch if you'd like to discuss.

Come join us for the OCTOBER 2025 Group Cleanse in Gozo. It is so much more do-able, fun, refreshing and dare I say ‘life-changing’ when cleansing in a group. So much laughter, sharing and comradeship.

Some of my favourite 50’s photos …
Our 50’s are often about redefining ourselves- shedding old layers, embracing new possibilities and stepping into our fullest potential. These shots capture the positivity I feel mid fifties -
Here’s to blue skies and laughter, and to living unapologetically - on our own terms.
Riding the waves side by side, teaching each other how to stand tall, fearless and free.
Wellness is a journey best savoured under sunny skies, fresh juice in hand.
In a world that never stops, I choose moments that do - soaking up the sun, the silence and a good book.
My ikigai, our shared laughter - the soundtrack to our happiest days.
I create space for healing, growth and connection. I warmly invite you to join me on this shared journey. Feel free to visit my website.
I framed this final shot. It signifies freedom in walking away, the courage to embrace what lies ahead without looking back.
Wherever you are on your journey, come join me and walk the path. I hold events in the U.K., Portugal, Malta and beyond. Details www.belleamatt.com

Longevity living is so much more than carefully considered nutrition ….
It’s about recognising what makes you tick, what brings you joy, how to feed your ikigai …
A central part of my ‘plan de Vida’ is raising strong, intrepid and independent daughters. Watching them thrive in new locations, observing them taking the untrodden path fills my heart with joy. Holding faith and stepping away from the expectations of society is what makes for great adventure. Experiences which build confidence and resilience.
So Lisbon was all about this. And my heart is full as we leave this beautiful city.

Time to slow down …
As women, we often feel a tinge of guilt when it’s time to relax. So we are prone to fatigue, exhaustion, burn out.
Holidays can be exhausting if we allow them to be. So it’s important to kick back and tell yourself ‘it’s ok to do absolutely nothing’. Give yourself permission.
Sweltering heat plus cool water is a perfect combination for creating the right environment to practice dolce far niente’ … l’art de ne rien faire’ … the sweetness of doing nothing … 👌🏼
No space for guilt. We weren’t designed to run without stopping 🙌🏼

A beautiful 5 hour walk across the South Downs, wearing my Blue Zones cap given to me by a guest on a retreat in the Algarve many moons ago. Fabulous stop off with the best iced coffee 👌🏼
On a mission to see the film adaptation of one of my favourite books The Salt Path. What better way to travel to watch a film about a coastal walk, mobile meditation, constant movement, fresh air.
The book by .winn tells a story of physical rejuvenation, against the odds, with constant movement, fresh air and a huge amount of determination demonstrating that healing is not always about medical intervention but connection with nature and persistent hope.
A beautiful reminder of the power of the great outdoors ☀️

Preparing for our Live Life Retreat Day tomorrow with and we took some time to unwind in the beautiful spa.
Hot tubs, nordic saunas, ice room, steam … such a pleasure to take a few hours out in this stunning wellness space.
Looking forward to our Blue Zones inspired wellness day tomorrow in which we’ll take our guests on a nourishing journey of longevity learning. Starting with a Matcha latte in the Japanese garden, yoga, a high antioxidant smoothie bowl workshop and onward to a plantbased lunch with a focus on the ‘three sisters’ … squash, corn and pulses. A Nod to Nicoya style eating. We will spend time learning some relaxation tools and discussing supplements to support the process.

It’s going to be a beautiful day …
