The reason behind hosting this retreat runs deep. In the past few years, I’ve lost three close female friends to cancer and alcohol‑related illness. Their stories, their struggles, and their early passings left a mark on me. They also gave me a mission.
This retreat wasn’t just a wellness getaway. It was a call to action. A space to empower women to take control of their health, to feel seen, supported, and equipped, not just to survive, but to truly live well longer.
The Magic of Revivo
Revivo Wellness Resort is unlike anywhere I’ve stayed. Nestled in the hills of Nusa Dua, it feels like a sanctuary cocooned from the world. As soon as you enter the gates, the energy shifts. You exhale.
This land feels special. Sacred. Peaceful.
Surrounded by tropical gardens and trees, Revivo offers that rare kind of quiet, one that reaches into your nervous system and tells it: you can rest now. The suites are serene and spacious; the design is elegant, natural, and deeply thoughtful. The food is vibrant, nourishing, with full organic sourcing and focus on health.
In fact, our Live Well Longer retreat has been recognised for its impact and innovation. We just won 2025 Destination Deluxe Award for Best Group Retreat—a powerful testament to the transformation we co-created with our guests.
It has also been praised by Signature Luxury Travel as a pioneering experience in biohacking and age-reversal retreats highlighting the unique blend of spiritual ritual, scientific testing, and soul-led healing we delivered at Revivo.
A Retreat Designed for Real Women and Real Life
This month, I co‑hosted the Live Well Longer Women’s Biohacking Retreat at Revivo with the beautiful Azra from Biohack‑Her. Together, we welcomed eight extraordinary women into this space to focus on healing—not just physically, but emotionally, spiritually, and energetically.
Many of these women had never taken time like this for themselves or been to a health retreat. Not taken time away from work, from raising children, or from caring for others.
Revivo meaning ‘I live again’ held our group beautifully through the laughter, tears, ceremony, and discovery. It was more than a venue; it was a container for transformation.
Our Live Well Longer retreat has already been recognised for its impact and innovation. It was recently named a finalist in the 2025 Destination Deluxe Awards for Best Group Retreat, a powerful testament to the transformation we co-created with our guests.
It has also been praised by Signature Luxury Travel as a pioneering experience in biohacking and age-reversal retreats—highlighting the unique blend of spiritual ritual, scientific testing, and soul-led healing we delivered at Revivo.
A Return to Self
We created a space where each woman could reconnect with her true essence, free from distraction, noise, or expectation. There were no roles to perform. No deadlines. Just real conversations, powerful practices, and the sacred invitation to come home to self.
We moved through:
- Traditional Balinese blessings with a priest
- Conscious breathwork, connecting to our inner girls—telling her she is safe, loved, and celebrated
- Full moon ceremonies with sound healing, helping us gently release what no longer serves
- Shared meals, tears, laughter, and sisterhood—the kind of connection that stays long after the retreat ends
Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Longevity Science
This retreat blended the spiritual and the scientific in a way that only Bali can.
Each woman completed advanced pre‑retreat testing:
- DNA methylation
- Gut microbiome mapping
- Dutch hormone analysis
The results uncovered root causes behind many silent health issues—mould exposure, estrogen dominance, nutrient deficiencies, adrenal fatigue, and more.
To help decode these findings, we brought in the incredible Toni, a hormone and gut health specialist naturopath. She spent two full days with us, offering 1:1 consultations that were eye‑opening, emotional, and empowering.
All of this was supported by Revivo’s in‑house wellness team and the newly opened Vitality Centre—a first‑of‑its‑kind longevity‑focused facility in Bali.
Trying Something New: Wellness That Empowers
This wasn’t just about relaxation—it was about reclamation. Many of the women were encouraged to try things for the very first time, including:
- Traditional Chinese Medicine with the wonderful Dr Jay
- Contrast therapy (hot + cold immersion)
- Infrared sauna and red light therapy
- IV nutrient infusions
- Colonic hydrotherapy
- Meditation pods and advanced biofeedback tools
Each new modality wasn’t just an experiment—it was an act of empowerment. Each woman walked away with new language, new tools, and a new connection to her body.
The Women Who Said Yes
We honoured every woman who joined us for saying yes to themselves, their healing, and this moment.
For their:
- Courage to slow down
- Curiosity to learn more about their bodies
- Commitment to explore the unknown
- Care they extended to one another with such grace
Together, we created a ripple of hope, resilience, trust, and transformation that will continue on with our check -ins and Whatsapp group.
Why This Matters
This retreat was for my friends—the ones I lost too soon. It was for the women who haven’t yet made themselves a priority. For those who don’t want to wait for burnout or diagnosis before choosing themselves.
Living well longer starts now.
With connection. With information. With places like Revivo that hold you in both softness and strength.
If you’ve never given yourself time like this, maybe this is your sign. You have permission. You are worthy. You are not alone.
Because your health journey deserves the same energy you give to everyone else.
And your longevity starts with saying yes to you.
