Women's Wellness Weekend in Hertfordshire, England

Elysium Grove was founded by Francesca and John Kyriacou after Francesca's journey with breast cancer. What started as a search for alternative care became a wellness center focused on early detection, preventative health, and emotional support. The retreat reflects this personal mission, offering a space where women can feel safe and supported while exploring holistic therapies and building community.

The weekend is structured around two daily group classes—these might include movement sessions, meditation, or other wellness practices—leaving plenty of free time to use the sauna and hot tub, wander the grounds, or simply rest. Because the overnight accommodation is limited to four women, the atmosphere stays intimate and quiet. During the day, a few additional women may join for the group sessions, adding more energy and opportunities to connect, but evenings are private and calm.

The retreat also emphasizes personalized nutrition. The recommended chef, with over 25 years in catering and a focus on personalized plans, prepares lunch and dinner tailored to your goals and allergies. You can share your macronutrient needs and preferences, and the caterer will handle the rest. Breakfast is more casual, with fruit, yoghurts, and vegetables available whenever you want them. This focus on individual care extends to optional add-ons like blood testing and consultations with a homeopath or therapist.
