There is a certain kind of magic that occurs when a group of women gather. After all, girls just want to have fun! But we also want to share and learn from one another’s journeys to remind us that we are not alone. For this gentle and nurturing healing immersion, we offer you a healing package based on modern science and inspired by ancient wisdom.
Join us on a journey of self discovery, harnessing the power of nature, self-nurture and play. Our intention is to leave the feeling of “rest and recover” imprinted in your being, so that you may take this relaxed state into your life, and continue your journey in the real world feeling well equipped for self-optimization.
Dr Julienne Fenwick has a unique take on self-regulation of hormones, using her understanding of the vagus nerve through a medical and spiritual lens. Using the creative framework of “balancing the energy centers,” she will guide you on a fascinating journey, to help you unlock the mysteries of your body. We will talk about bio-identical hormones, adrenal stress, gut healing, detox, weight management during menopause, energy leeches, and so much more!
STONE HAVEN ECO CABINS & FARM
8 -11 August 2024
What daily changes can you make to your meals, beverages, movement and mindfulness to help bring your energy system into balance? We will address all the systems from the sex hormones all the way up to the happy hormones of the brain (serotonin and dopamine), with the gut, adrenal and thyroid systems in between. Connect with your body in a state of deep relaxation and become the master of your “inner hormone language.”
There will be plenty of time to unwind on the farm, which is nestled in the hills of the valley, at the foot of a tranquil dam. Enjoy a fynbos walk, perhaps you feel like a swim in the serene eco pool and end the day in your private hot tub under the stars. Limited to 12 attendees, this promises to be a very special retreat.
BONUS OFFER: Dr Julienne offers you a one-on-one “hormone harmony” Integrative Medical consult before the retreat to ascertain your specific pathways, triggers and toolkit.

Dr Julienne Fenwick is an Integrative Medical Doctor (MBChB), and founder of Best of Both Wellness, Hermanus. She qualified at Stellenbosch University and worked for many years as an ER doctor. She was specializing in Neuro-surgery when she developed Burn-out, Leaky Gut and symptoms of premature menopause. She thankfully discovered the magic of Integrative Medicine, and has never looked back. She has a real-world attitude towards being a woman on a healing journey, and offers pragmatic, evidence based (and fun!) solutions to coping with daily stress.
Dr Julienne combines her knowledge of Eastern healing philosophy and Western evidence-based Functional Medicine. She is up to date with the latest in bio-identical hormones, adrenal recovery protocols, and even wrote a chapter on Brain Health for Prof Tim Noaks’ new medical textbook (Ketogenic). She loves helping women learn the language of their bodies, know their limits, and optimize their performance by being kind, nurturing and super-hacking their hormones. She also LOVES good food and inspiring conversations!
We find ourselves in overwhelmingly stressful times. It is challenging to find balance on a daily basis, let alone a sense of harmony and peace. We know that our intuition has the key to what we need, and how to get in touch with the inner wisdom of our bodies is a skill that everyone needs. Dr Julienne has tried it all, from yoga to tai-chi, vegan to keto and everything in between. At the end of the day, you need to find a personalized combination of food, movement and mindfulness that resonates with you; preferably because you love it. What you will enjoy most are the things that make you feel good in your soul, make you laugh and energize you from within. Creativity is the fountain of youth, and to access that inner power, you need to find balance in your mind, body and heart”

We will eat mindfully at each meal, sharing food in good company, bringing awareness to the process of digestion and the importance of “rest and digest.”
Ayurvedic food is beautiful, tasty and promotes detox, weight management and good mood.
All meals are dairy, gluten and sugar- free; as well as plant based and low carb.
Food will be easy to digest and is not likely to cause bloating.
Eggs are used unless specifically allergic or strictly vegan.
Spices, herbs and super foods are used to accentuate the balancing and detoxing processes of the body.
Alcohol, caffeine and processed sugars are excluded to aid the rejuvenation process.
No plant-medicines allowed, so that we may all be on the same wavelength.
During your 3 days on the retreat, you will get to experience various mindful practices. These will be creatively woven into the framework of understanding the energy centers of the body and how they link up to balancing your hormones, and ultimately your life.
Mindfulness practices will include:
