Meet Your Host
Nergis Ahmed
Health Coach, Hike Guide, Sound Therapist.
Salaams, I'm Nergis.
I'm a mum of four, Women's Health Coach, Sound Therapist, and wellbeing guide based in Nottingham.
Like many women, I spent years putting everyone else's needs before my own. Between family, work, and endless responsibilities, I slowly lost touch with the things that helped me feel calm, energised, and connected to myself.
That changed when I discovered the power of simple wellness practices — gentle movement, time in nature, journaling, and sound therapy. They helped me move from feeling overwhelmed and exhausted to feeling more balanced, present, and at peace.
I created these retreats because I believe every woman deserves the opportunity to pause, breathe, and be cared for too.
My vision is to create warm, welcoming spaces where Muslim women can rest deeply, reconnect with themselves, enjoy meaningful sisterhood, and leave feeling calmer, lighter, and restored.
This retreat has been thoughtfully designed with love and intention, and I would be honoured to welcome you.
With warmth and duas,
Nergis

"The most relaxed I've felt in years. Everything was organised beautifully and I left feeling genuinely restored."

"The perfect balance of rest, movement, reflection and fun."
Join us for an intimate weekend of rest, connection and renewal this November.
