What Our Guests Are Saying

We’re incredibly proud of the experiences we create — but don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what past guests have said about their time with us:

I genuinely feel like the universe led me to this retreat. I was struck by how every detail was thoughtfully considered, fostering a sense of peace and connection that I had been craving.

The yoga and Pilates sessions were beautifully structured, allowing me to connect with my body in the most picturesque locations.

The food was nothing short of amazing. Every meal was prepared with care, featuring fresh and delicious local ingredients that nourished not just my body but my spirit as well. Sharing these meals with others became moments of joy, where laughter and conversation flowed easily, deepening our bonds as a community.

But what touched me most were the connections I made with the incredible people there. We came from all over the world, from different backgrounds, yet we all shared a desire to grow and heal. The friendships I formed during our time together are incredibly meaningful to me, and I walked away feeling enriched by the shared experiences and heartfelt conversations.

My time at the Nu Ground Retreat was more than just a getaway; it was a deep, transformative journey toward self-discovery and healing. I left with a renewed sense of purpose and tools to carry that wellness into my everyday life.

Thank you, Joanna, for creating such a sincere and heartfelt retreat. I am truly grateful for the experience and the memories I’ve brought back with me. It was exactly what I needed.

A Transformational Experience – Pure Magic in the South of France

I’ve just returned from my very first retreat and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. Set in a beautiful villa the South of France, just a short walk from the beach, this four-day break from life, was the perfect blend of relaxation, restoration, and connection.

Each day began with yoga or Pilates. Then there were other activities throughout the day – guided meditation, sound healing, massages, even a lymphatic drainage class … all ofwhich you could join in with, or not. That’s what I loved about it – you could just dip in and out when you wanted.Every activity felt thoughtfully curated, with a beautiful balance between structure and space to just be.

The food deserves its own love letter. Nourishing, vibrant, and prepared with so much care – Melissa worked tirelessly and every meal felt like a hug from the inside out. I learned new things about cooking, many of which I now incorporate into my daily routine. But what truly made this retreat unforgettable was the community. An eclectic group of women who came together as strangers and left as friends, having shared laughter, stories, and a deep sense of support.

And none of it would have been possible without the incredible Joanna. Her presence, warmth, and attention to detail infused every part of the experience with love. She has a real gift – not just for creating a beautiful retreat, but for making each person feel truly seen and cared for.

I came home feeling recharged, inspired, and more grounded than I have in a long time. It was just the reset I needed, and it’s positive effects are filtering down into other aspects of my life. If you’re thinking about going – do it. This retreat iswhere the magic begins.

— Elly

This retreat was a truly magical experience I’ll never forget. The atmosphere was serene and nourishing, with every detail, from the robes to the Italian coffee machine, were so thoughtfully considered. The variety of classes and offerings, and the flexibility to choose what felt right each day made it feel so personal. I actually can’t put into words how incredible the food was, and we certainly were not left hungry. The staff were warm, intuitive, and genuinely caring. The floating meditation was a highlight - unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I came away with lasting memories, a full heart, and beautiful new friendships. I’m so grateful I was able to experience it.

Just before I left for my much anticipated Nue Ground retreat, I tore my hamstring, which meant that I had difficulty walking, let alone exercising. I was so upset but was told by Joanna that ‘I must still come, as she and the Nue Ground team would look after me’.

Joanna was more than true to her word, from the moment I stepped off the plane in Marseille, her husband was there to drive me to the retreat.

The retreat itself was so beautiful, the house, the setting, the food and the staff, all of whom were so attentive and caring.

Although I couldn’t do the classes, there was a gorgeous heated pool, delicious healthy foods, drinks and organic wine all set in the most glorious of surroundings. Plus some amazing activities - favourites of mine were a floating sound bath, organic wine tasting in the olive groves and a luxury lunch on the beach.

There were also numerous surprise gifts - which was such a magical gesture - if your love language is pampering and quality, bespoke presents - this is the retreat for you! I even got a surprise package before I left with luxury travel essentials.

I felt so cared for, I slept for hours and woke up to birdsong. I secretly think that I had the best time of all, not exercising! I returned home so rejuvenated in mind, body and soul. I also met some wonderful people - I think Joanna creates caring communities wherever she goes - a Pied Piper of magical things x

Thank you so much Joanna! Xxx.”

I recently had the privilege of attending a NueGround retreat in the South of France, and it was nothing short of transformative. Nestled between the forest and the sea, the setting itself felt like a peaceful sanctuary—an idyllic backdrop for deep restoration and reconnection.

The days were thoughtfully curated with a blend of yoga, Pilates, Reiki, and mindfulness, all complemented by the most nourishing and beautifully prepared food. The meals were truly the soul of the retreat—each one a sensory experience, both grounding and energising, crafted with care and intention.

What truly set this retreat apart was the energy and attention to detail from Jo and her team. They went above and beyond to create a 5-star experience, making everyone feel supported, seen, and completely at ease.

For me, the magic was in the slow pace—time to reconnect with my senses, tune into nature, and explore techniques to bring that sense of calm into everyday life. I also met a group of incredible women whose presence made the experience even more meaningful. I know they will remain lifelong friends.

I would wholeheartedly recommend this retreat to anyone craving a reset, a return to themselves, and a touch of beauty in every sense.

Thank you Jo, Jake and the incredible artists who made this retreat undeniably gasp-worthy and yet so restorative.

I absolutely loved every moment of the retreat, from start to finish. It was clear just how much care and effort went into creating this. It was more than just a luxury retreat, it was a deeply transformative wellness experience. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, making it truly special and unforgettable. Thank you, Joanna, and the entire team! 🤎

— Ash

It’s the small details, the exceptional team and the beautiful setting that make this retreat such a stand out experience.

From the delicious yet nourishing meals to the expert-led yoga and Pilates classes, every day is filled with thoughtful, five-star touches that elevate the entire stay.

Nestled in the Provence, this peaceful haven was more than just a getaway; it was an investment in myself. If you want a few days away to stretch, strengthen and reflect - without the rigidity of more structured retreats - this retreat is for you.

I loved it and will be back, hopefully with some of the new friends I met whilst here.

— Caroline

It was everything I needed and more! Your attention to detail did not go unnoticed. You truly did make above and beyond efforts to pamper us all. Your energy definitely set the tone, and instantly put all of us at ease knowing we were in good hands. From my morning coffee to our evening pow wows my heart was so happy. I’m forever grateful to have met all of you, let alone retreat with all of you for 5 nights. I learned so much about myself and the power of women when we lift each other up

— Catherine

Firstly I loved how detailed you were with the experience. You were very approachable and made me comfortable with not having met you or gone to your studio before. I loved the level of communication, as I figured everything out coming from Italy. Then is the little things you did. From the pre arrival package, to everything in the room. I felt valued and care for before the retreat even started. All the activities, the food, the place, the people were perfection. I definitely feel connected not just to all the ladies, but to Nue Ground!

This experience has made me more committed to wellness, self care, new experiences and connecting with others.

It was exactly what I needed, and exceeded my expectations!
