Remember when days were for playing and nights were for deep, untroubled sleep? Join Dr. Sara Poldmae for a week dedicated to one radical concept: Fun as Medicine.
If you’re carrying the "invisible load" or teetering on burnout, this is your invitation to drop the endless to-do list, reclaim your vitality, and remember what it feels like to live vibrant and rested.
Spend your days surfing, walking the beach, or simply napping. There are no mandatory fitness levels. As the sun sets, we shift into deep restoration with evening yoga and breathwork, helping your nervous system seamlessly transition from "doing" to "being."
The Five Elements Framework
We weave ancient wisdom through your week to ensure a profound reset:
Wood (Play): Exploring the jungle and embracing curiosity.
Fire (Joy): Shared laughter, connection, and reigniting your spark.
Earth (Nourishment): Vibrant, local foods and grounding energy.
Metal (Letting Go): Shedding daily stress to create space for what matters.
Water (Restoration): Reclaiming your deep energetic reserves.
What Makes This Retreat Different
Unlike standard wellness getaways, this experience is guided by a Board Certified functional medicine and TCM expert and yogi... Dr. Sara hosts casual, accessible "wellness chats" translating complex clinical insights into simple tools for hormone health and nervous system regulation. It’s expert-level healing, delivered in a jungle setting.
3 nourishing meals each day. Beautiful buffet style meals with tons of healthy choices. Travel days will be dinner upon arrival and breakfast before departure.
Welcome, I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m Sara Poldmae, Doctor of Chinese Medicine, functional medicine practitioner, yogi, and the founder of Meadow Hill Wellness and Restore Studio in Annapolis, MD.
For over 20 years I’ve been helping women come back to themselves, in the treatment room, in the studio, and now, in some of the most beautiful places in the world.
Designed for women who want to experience beautiful places without being rushed through them, to actually land somewhere, breathe it in, and leave feeling more like themselves.
From the rolling hills of Tuscany to the jungle coastline of Costa Rica, each retreat blends gentle movement with restorative practices… yin yoga, breathwork, meditation, sound healing… nourishing meals, and spacious time to absorb the landscape around you, or to turn inward.
