"A Meaningful Escape"
"The retreat in Puglia was a perfect blend of rest, invigorating workouts, and exquisite meals. Set in a stunning location, each day began with Suzi leading energising workouts.
The food cooked with love by Charlotte was a highlight, featuring fresh, local ingredients that celebrated the region's culinary delights.
Mindful education sessions added depth to the experience, offering valuable insights into cuisine, wellness and personal growth.
I highly recommend this retreat for anyone seeking a meaningful escape."

"I Felt Completely At Ease"
"The retreat was a wonderfully wholesome experience. From the moment of arrival to leaving I felt completely at ease.
The accommodation and location is beautiful. The hosts are knowledgeable and passionate about what they do.
The retreat promoted deep thinking, contemplation on practical changes that could be made to every day life but more than anything it was fun.
I have never laughed so much or felt so surrounded by strong, intelligent women."
- Zara
"So Much Useful Info "
"I loved how mixed the retreat was with exercise, food, education and free time too!
The cooking classes including recipes that you can actually do at home and the talks had so much useful information that you can implement into your day to day (no trends or extreme dieting 'tips')
I've felt really relaxed since coming back :)"

Charlotte
Hi, I’m Charlotte—PN1 Certified Nutrition Coach, chef, and founder of Charlotte Cohen Cooks.
Over the past four years, I’ve been creating nourishing, flavour-packed recipes, teaching online cooking classes, and helping individuals and businesses find more joy and ease in the way they eat.
My approach is rooted in balance, simplicity, and the kind of food that both tastes and feels good. Inspired by Mediterranean living, I truly believe that slowing down and cooking from scratch is one of the best ways to reconnect with our bodies and minds.
This retreat is a chance to step away from the noise, savour the process, and experience just how satisfying cooking and eating can be.
Suzi
Hi, I'm Suzi, owner of Optimising Female Health, PN1 Certified Nutrition Coach and Mental Health & Exercise Coach.
I am passionate about empowering females to build strength both physically and mentally throughout all seasons of their lives, including early adulthood, pre/post natal, peri menopause/post menopause and beyond!
I'm on a mission to cut through the noise, confusion and misinformation around women’s health and fitness and to educate women on behavioural and mindset changes to optimise their nutrition, exercise, hormone health and mental well-being.
No topic is off limits when it comes to female health and my coaching!
