In this Peri Moon episode, Nelle sits down with yoga therapist and longtime retreat leader Kat Ford to explore why women’s retreats aren’t just a getaway, they’re a full nervous‑system reset.
Kat shares why somatic healing, feminine embodiment, and nature immersion can shift perimenopause symptoms in ways talk therapy can’t. They dive into the power of re‑tribalising: gathering around fire, moving to rhythm, and being witnessed by other women in a safe, unconditional space. They also explore the magic of Stradbroke Island, a sand island made of 95% quartz crystal, and how it acts as a healing amplifier for women releasing shame and rediscovering themselves.
Plus, a special announcement: Nelle and Kat are co‑hosting an October retreat, The Heroine’s Journey, featuring breathwork, moon circles, ecstatic dance, and fire ceremony. If you’ve been craving a place to be fully yourself, beauty, mess and all, this episode is your sign.
