About your trip


If life feels flat, overwhelming, or like something essential has gone missing, this retreat is your invitation to return to vibrancy.

Rooted in the ancient healing science of Ayurveda, this 12-day, 13-night immersive retreat is designed to nourish you from the inside out. This is no sightseeing tour but a full-bodied experience of India’s rich cultural and healing traditions, lived from the inside.

You’ll be held in the rhythms of real Ayurvedic living:


  • Daily one-on-one consultations with an Ayurvedic doctor
     
  • 90–120 minutes of personalized Ayurvedic bodywork treatments each day
     
  • Fresh, seasonal meals crafted with local ingredients to restore your system
     
  • Yoga and meditation in an open-air shala facing the sea
     

Our luxurious beachfront sanctuary in Kerala offers:


  • Spacious rooms with sea-facing porches
     
  • Beach huts and loungers for oceanfront rest
     
  • A large pool for lap swimming or play
     
  • Walking trails and quiet spaces for reflection
     

This is a place where your nervous system can truly exhale — where healing meets beauty, and tradition meets comfort. It’s time to come home to your body, your senses, and your self.


You don’t need another vacation. You need restoration.
 

Join us in Kerala — and remember what it feels like to feel good.


About Leslie

Leslie studied biology, philosophy, and medicine at Johns Hopkins University, King's College London, and Temple School of Medicine, respectively. Her education began when, after giving birth to her three children, she was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer. Two years later, she cared for her daughter as she journeyed with brain cancer. Her experiences with cancer as a physician, patient, and caregiver give her a unique and holistic perspective. In her work as a medicine woman, journey coach, and ceremonial alchemist, she creates a safe, judgment-free space for people to hear their inner guidance.  Whether or not you have been touched by cancer, this trip is an opportunity for exploration, release, and renewal. The last few years have caused enormous disruptions for many, and just like a cancer diagnosis, at times, the disruptions can be openings to a deeper connection to ourselves and others.
