At Soma Vita Retreat, the program is carefully designed to support both activation and deep recovery.

Through breathwork, movement and cold exposure, .co guides participants to better understand and regulate their nervous system: something many of us push to the limit in modern life.

Rather than constantly staying in “fight or flight”, Luke helps create the balance between activation and restoration that allows the body and mind to truly recover.

This rhythm is woven throughout the retreat experience, supporting both physical energy and deeper calm.

Meet Montse Castells, founder of The Wellness Hood and curator of the Restore • Reset • Recharge Retreat.

After many conversations with experts and people in her community, Montse noticed a common pattern: many people are doing “all the right things” for their health, yet still feel tired, overwhelmed or disconnected from themselves.

This retreat was created to offer a different approach.

Together with .co and .sg , Montse has curated an experience built around six key pillars of wellbeing: movement, recovery, nutrition, inner work, connection and play. Bringing together the right environment, the right experts and a small group of like minded people. With a great agenda to focus on regulating your nervous system as the base to get the rest in place.

From the very first conversation with us, every guest is cared for with attention, intention and a lot of love in the details.

The outer work begins it.
The inner work sustains it.

I’m so proud to introduce Candice Chaignat, .sg , the anchor of our Inner Work pillar at Soma Vita Retreat and the quiet force behind Recovery and Connection.

Candice is a Master Clinical Hypnotherapist and subconscious mind trainer whose work goes far beyond surface reflection.

She guides the space where patterns shift.
Where the nervous system softens.
Where clarity returns naturally.

At Soma Vita Retreat, she will lead the inner architecture of the experience, supporting deep reset, emotional integration, and the kind of connection that feels real, not performed.

Because recovery isn’t only physical.
Connection isn’t only social.
And transformation doesn’t happen without inner alignment.

Across our six pillars: Movement, Recovery, Nutrition, Inner Work, Connection and Play. Candice holds the depth that makes everything else sustainable.

This is where you redesign from within.

If you’re ready to feel lighter, clearer and deeply connected, you’ll want to meet her.

Welcome, Candice!

There’s a reason why Luke is part of Soma Vita Retreat.

For years, Luke battled childhood obesity, chronic illness, asthma and depression. His turning point came when he realised something powerful:

The nervous system was the missing link.

Through deep inner work and breath retraining, he rebuilt his health from the ground up: reversing chronic asthma, coming off medication, and transforming the way he moves, breathes and performs.

Today, Luke is a #1 Amazon best selling author, trauma informed breathwork facilitator and lifestyle optimisation coach. He works with high performers, athletes and parents to regulate their nervous system, unlock focus, and turn stress into clarity.

At Soma Vita Retreat
📍 Gili Air, Indonesia
📆 29 April – 3 May (Long PH Weekend)

Luke will guide:
• Performance breathwork
• Primal movement & functional training
• Ice bath integration
• Nervous system recalibration

And as he says:
“This isn’t about pushing you harder.
It’s about recalibrating your body and mind to find balance.
We’ll build heat so you feel powerful in your body, then slow it down enough for you to finally exhale.”

If you’re strong on the outside but craving calm underneath, come reset with us at

I’m really happy to finally share this 🩵

After months of building quietly, I’m excited to introduce a new offering at The Wellness Hood, created in collaboration with Hotel, just as they prepare to open their Wellness Centre.

From 29 April to 3 May, we’ll be in Gili Air, Indonesia, bringing to life something I’ve wanted to create for a long time.

My mission has always been to help people reach their best version.
This time, that mission takes the form of an experience designed to Restore · Reset · Recharge.

A healthy life isn’t about adding more or chasing quick fixes.
It’s about understanding what your body actually needs, creating the right conditions for it to settle, and finding a balance you can sustain.

That’s why this retreat is designed around nervous system calibration, the strength of community, and a personalised 360 approach to wellbeing. Bringing together movement and rest, nourishment and recovery, learning, connection and yes, fun too.

It’s intentionally small, carefully curated, and designed to help you leave clearer, more resourced, and with practical tools you can carry into real life.

If this resonates, you can find all the details via the link in my bio.

And because places are limited, I truly hope you’re one of the lucky ones to join us.
It will be worth it.

What if one tiny shift in language could change the way you feel about your entire life?

In episode 88, I speak with — magician, speaker, resilience & empowerment coach, and author of *Playing the Hand You’re Dealt* (with a foreword by Jamie Lee Curtis).

And he shared a mindset reframe backed by psychology, neuroscience, and behavioural science:

👉 Replace “I *have* to” with “I *get* to.”

It sounds simple… but here’s why it works:

🔸 “Have to” activates pressure.
Your brain interprets it as obligation, threat, or burden. The task feels heavier, resistance goes up, and motivation drops.

🔸 “Get to” activates privilege and agency.
It shifts the brain toward gratitude, autonomy, and intrinsic motivation — all scientifically linked to improved wellbeing and performance.

🔸 Over time, this small shift rewires your cognitive framing, reducing stress and increasing your sense of capability and control.

As John puts it:

> “If you think ‘have to,’ it’s a chore.
> If you think ‘get to,’ it’s a privilege.”

It’s a micro habit with macro impact — and it’s entirely in your hands.

🎧 Listen to the full episode with John Kippen to explore:
• how micro-shifts reshape your identity
• why creativity and imagination decline in adulthood — and how to reclaim them
• resilience tools that actually work
• why being different is your superpower

What if the part of you that feels ‘different’ is actually your hidden power?

This week in Episode 88 of The Wellness Hood: “Being Different Is Your Superpower”, I sit with an extraordinary human being —

John is a magician, speaker, resilience & empowerment coach, author of Playing the Hand You’re Dealt, and creator of the short film John’s Ultimate Illusion in collaboration with Jamie Lee Curtis, who also wrote the foreword to his book.

He has performed at the world famous Magic Castle in LA — but what makes him truly unforgettable is his humanity, sensitivity, and the way he sees people.

Together we explore how embracing your uniqueness, reconnecting with creativity, and shifting your mindset can transform the way you live, lead and dream again.

And I’ll leave you with this…
How is your imagination doing these days?
Are you letting it shrink — or letting it expand?

MEDITATION — but not the way you think it is.

Most people picture silence, slowing down, or “clearing the mind.”
But in reality? Meditation is a brain shift — one that changes how you think, feel, sleep, and lead.

This week on The Wellness Hood, I sit down with — global meditation teacher, founder of The Stillness Project, author of multiple books including his latest The Portal, and creator of the film by the same name.

Tom spent 26 years in high pressure finance before meditation transformed his physiology, ended his insomnia, softened his anxiety, and rewired the way he showed up in the world.

In this episode, we dive deep into what meditation actually does to your brain, why stillness boosts productivity, and how just 20 minutes twice a day can outperform hours of “pushing through.”

If your mind feels overwhelmed, overstimulated or constantly “on”… this conversation is a reset.

We move so fast… doing, doing, doing… that we forget to actually see ourselves.

In this moment, explains why the first step to unbinding isn’t effort — it’s space.

✨ Space to notice how we’re showing up
✨ Space to catch the patterns on autopilot
✨ Space to feel what’s really going on in the body
✨ Space to recognise our triggers — the lowest hanging fruit for change

Awareness is what creates choice.
Choice is what creates freedom.

If you’ve been moving through life on autopilot… this is your gentle nudge to pause, breathe, and make room for yourself again.

Most men have never heard of varicoceles — but ~40% of men experiencing infertility have them.

Varicoceles are essentially varicose veins in the sc***um.
They increase heat + blood pooling around the testes…
and that can reduce s***m quality and hormone function.

👀 Symptoms can be subtle — or go unnoticed entirely.
🎯 Awareness = early action = better outcomes.

This isn’t about fear — it’s about information.
Men deserve clarity, tools, and proactive care too.
