Join us for a transformative 6-night, 7-day retreat that combines Functional Medicine and Functional Movement as we escape the winter blues and immerse ourselves in the beauty of Phuket, Thailand’s largest island. Led by Emily Cox, a renowned expert in wellness and movement, this retreat is designed to nourish your mind, body, and spirit.

Experience the ultimate relaxation and rejuvenation at a serene and sustainable health retreat center located in a charming local village, far away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. During this winter getaway, we’ll explore the island’s pristine white sand beaches, visit the vibrant night markets, stroll through the colorful old town, visit Buddhist temples, and even venture to the breathtakingly beautiful nearby islands of Koh Phi Phi.

Indulge in the best traditional Thai cuisine, including local delicacies available at the night markets, and learn to make your own in a private cooking class. In your free time, lounge by the pool, explore the quaint local neighborhood, indulge in the best Thai massages, and give yourself the gift of much-needed rest and restoration.

With a perfect blend of Functional Medicine and Functional Movement, this retreat will leave you feeling invigorated, refreshed, and ready to take on the world.
