Testimonials
I attended retreat with Michelle Freeman and had the pleasure of meeting Leanne, who was our chef for the week. I can’t speak highly enough of her.
Leanne prepared beautiful vegetarian meals every day. Each dish was incredibly delicious, nourishing, and clearly made with so much love and care. You could truly feel the intention behind her cooking.
I have an autoimmune condition that affects my gut, and when I arrived at the retreat, my stomach was quite unsettled from a recent flare. By the end of the week my gut felt significantly better, so much so that when I returned home, I spoke with my specialist and we agreed to delay starting steroid treatment. That, to me, speaks volumes about the impact of the food and environment.
Leanne is not only an amazing chef but also a qualified nutritionist and herbalist. She generously shared valuable advice on how to support my gut health and build a more nourishing relationship with food. I left feeling inspired to take better care of my body.
I also grew up relying heavily on white carbs like rice and noodles, and I was surprised to have zero cravings without them during the retreat. Every meal left me feeling satisfied and energised.
Thank you, Leanne, from the bottom of my heart. Your care, knowledge, and passion truly made a difference. I’ll definitely be looking out for future retreats with you again. ~ Hannah
