THE DETAILS
We have a luxurious space for you to meet other ladies just like you that have had Weight Loss Surgery & also for you to learn, reset, rejuvenate, relax, unwind and be pampered.
Enjoy specialist Bariatric Nutrition and Bariatric Psychology sessions in a beautiful setting overlooking rice paddies. During our time together we will share key skills to help you to crack the code to longer term bariatric success.
Our retreat package includes boutique accommodation, delicious healthy meals, massage, a day trip, airport transfers and specialist workshops hosted by Margaret (Bariatric Dietitian) & Georgie (Psychologist with a core focus in Weight Loss Surgery). Our retreat venue is a luxurious traditional Balinese villa just fifteen minutes from Seminyak. With three swimming pools, a number of breakaway areas to relax and unwind with a good book, this will be a retreat to remember. There are no add-on surprises …unless you want more massages!
You will return home re-charged, refreshed, focused and relaxed. You will be better equipped to manage the stressors of daily life and maintain optimal wellbeing long after the retreat is over.

YOUR HOSTS
Margaret Hays
My passion for helping women deal with weight related issues started in my teens with helping my own busy, working mum who battled with her weight for many years. This led me down the path of becoming a Dietitian and here I am 35 years later still helping women work on their body image and weight issues – but these days I specialise on Nutrition in the WLS arena. As women we expect a lot of ourselves, and a lot is expected of us. We’re hard-wired to be resilient and roll with the punches and over time our lack of attention to self-love and self-care can make coping with life’s challenges more difficult than it’s ever been. Add kids, work, aging parents, and other stressors into the soup and it’s easy to see how life can become overwhelming.
Georgie Beames
After spending over a decade personally struggling with my relationship with food and my weight, I was determined to find a new way forward.
I tried ALL of the things to lose weight, secretly hoping it was the one thing that would FIX everything. Over time I ended up gaining more and more weight and feeling more and more like a failure. I thought there was something wrong with me. But I was determined to find a way forward.
So, I started my journey of self-discovery and I realised that my answers were not in diet books or trying to control my eating, but in Psychology.
I then became a Registered Psychologist and wanted to make a difference and help women who were struggling like me. My core focus has been in the area of eating & weight related issues (over 10 years’ experience), and I help to identify & clear key eating sabotage blocks that are seeing old eating habits on repeat.
FAQS
Can I bring a friend?
Absolutely! We'd love for you to bring a friend, so long as they have had Bariatric surgery. Please note that this is an all-ladies retreat.
Do I have to attend all the activities?
No, this is YOUR retreat. It’s a time for you to relax and renew. You are free to do as little or as much as you like.
What are my passport requirements?
Your passport must have a minimum of six months validity to enter Indonesia.
Will there be time to explore?
The retreat schedule allows for a balance of free time and structured activities. There is so much to do (or not do) in Bali.
There will be plenty of time to discover Bali. You might want to visit local temples, stroll through the rice paddies, watch the sunset at the beach, or generally chill out 😎. The retreat is only 15 minutes from glitzy Seminyak or chilled Canggu, both are fabulous shopping destinations, if that’s your thing. Or maybe you’d like to simply relax by the pool with a great book.
Food allergies and sensitivities?
The resort caters to most special dietary requirements. Please let us know when booking if you have particular dietary needs.
I’m coming by myself, what are my options?
Many of our guests will be travelling solo. You will have a luxurious room all to yourself and can socialise with other ladies in the common areas and by the pools.
