A Retreat to Restore, Inform and Inspire
This season of life is not an ending. It’s an invitation to rise.
There comes a moment in a woman's life when your body starts whispering… and eventually asking more loudly to be listened to.
Maybe your energy feels different. Maybe sleep isn’t as easy as it once was. Maybe your emotions feel unfamiliar, your body less predictable, or you simply find yourself wondering what is changing and why.
For many women, this season can feel confusing, isolating, or overwhelming, especially when we’re expected to simply “carry on” without truly understanding what’s happening within us.
The Wise Woman Retreat was created as a space to pause, exhale, and feel deeply supported through this transition, and embrace the next chapter of womanhood with confidence, vitality, and community. Whether you are currently experiencing hormonal shifts or preparing for what lies ahead, this retreat is designed to leave you feeling educated, supported, rested, and deeply renewed.
Beyond the experience itself, this retreat is designed to leave you with something lasting.
You will be hosted by a team of experts and led by wellness practitioners; Sally King and Maxine Bailey-Green. Together, we will explore the latest research around female hormone health and nervous system wellbeing, helping you better understand the changes happening within your body, while equipping you with realistic, sustainable tools to support yourself long after the retreat ends.
This is not about “fixing” yourself. It is about learning how to support yourself with greater compassion, wisdom, and understanding.
Nourishment
Food plays a huge part in our six night experience and we have thoughtfully curated a very exciting and varied dining schedule.
We kick things off with a “Sadayna” welcome ceremony and private-dining experience, hosted by our Kerala-based, British chef Nikki Merali at her
celebrated venue, ‘Piknik’.
We’ll also enjoy dinners at some of Kerala’s most sought-after restaurants, giving you the freedom to choose from the full menu and experience the region’s exceptional culinary scene.
Your Home for the week
Set just moments from the shoreline, we’ll be staying at the beautiful Miracle by the Bay—a peaceful coastal sanctuary where the sound of the sea and the slower pace of Kerala invite you to truly unwind.

Your Wellbeing Team
This retreat has been created with so much intention, care and heart. Throughout the experience, you’ll be supported and guided by a team of passionate wellbeing professionals, each bringing their own unique energy, expertise and perspective.
Maxine Bailey-Green
It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what makes Max so remarkable as a guide and teacher. She’s an outlier, somebody who resists labels and instead finds beauty in the spaces between. As a deep rest coach, meditation teacher, breathwork facilitator, and yoga teacher with over a decade of experience, Max is passionate about helping women slow down enough to hear themselves again. Her work is rooted in the belief that healing, vitality, and balance begin when we stop abandoning ourselves and start responding to our needs with compassion and curiosity.
While her knowledge and experience of yoga is undeniable, it is her devotion to living the practice that truly sets her apart.
Now in the midst of her own menopause journey, Max understands firsthand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to wellbeing. One of the deepest lessons this season of life has taught her is the importance of listening inward learning to honour what her body, mind, and nervous system truly need, rather than forcing herself into rigid wellness ideals or expectations.
Above all, Max will guide you back to yourself.
Not through striving or fixing, but through presence, softness, and remembering the wisdom that has always lived within you.
