I had the idea of “Self-Treat” during a particularly challenging period in my life. What I truly craved was a serene place to unwind, reconnect with nature, recharge, immerse myself in the local culture, meditate, and, most importantly, have one-on-one conversations with a specialist when group activities felt overwhelming.
I couldn’t find such a retreat, so I decided to create this concept for people who, like me, are navigating similar emotions and experiences. A retreat that doesn’t force a set program, detox or group participation, but offers a space for individual rejuvenation and meaningful connections, especially with the self.
The concept of “Self-Treat” is created by uniquely combining my professional background as a psychotherapist, life coach, and nutritionist with my extensive experience in the hospitality industry, which includes personal travel to nearly every continent. This fusion offers / brings out a custom-tailored well-being experience for those seeking self-discovery while navigating life’s challenges and, at the same time exploring the world.
This concept encompasses:
- Holistic Well-being: the journey offers a tailored blend of psychotherapy, well-being practices, and nutrition that not only enhances your emotional and physical well-being but equips you with techniques to address daily challenges effectively. You will learn how to integrate these practices into everyday life, ensuring lasting benefits beyond the retreat.
- Carefully Chosen Destinations: The selected locations resonate tranquility and positivity, offer the necessary atmosphere for self-discovery and rejuvenation, from serene mountaintop retreats to pristine beachfront paradises, with spa experiences available.
- A Sensory Journey: It engages all five senses, creating an experience that mimics a vacation with self-discovery, cultural exploration, and regional cuisine, all enhanced by therapeutic aromas.
- Relaxation, Connection with Nature: Enjoy nature's beauty, diverse lunches, local visits, and a sense of personal growth in each place, creating momentum.
- Culinary Delights: You can immerse yourselves in a gastronomic journey that celebrates local flavors, each unique to its corner of the globe. Rest assured, this experience doesn't involve detox or food deprivation. Instead, you savor the rich tapestry of global cuisines and gain insights into the regional culture through food. The culinary experience focuses on healthy nutrition for the mind, equipping you with the knowledge and practices to nourish your body and mental well-being, making it easily applicable to your daily lives.
- Small, Thoughtfully Chosen Groups: We maintain an intimate atmosphere by selecting small groups, ensuring a personalized experience. It’s like having your therapist for one week-long.
- Individualized Approach: For those desiring a more private experience, the option to forego group sessions in favor of individual ones is available.
