Wellness Day Retreats

We would love to welcome you to the beautiful Relax & Rebalance day retreat at Govinda Valley Retreat, Otford!

Join us for a day of relaxation and rejuvenation in the beautiful surroundings of nature.

Take a break from your busy life and indulge in activities that will help you rebalance your mind, body, and soul. During our time together we will connect with the ‘rebalancing’ energy of Spring, reflecting on our current daily routines and lifestyle to see where we may be out of balance, and then move through new techniques to allow us to de-stress, un-wind and effortlessly bring this spring energy of re-balancing, ease and willingness to flow through making positive, healthy changes in your own life.

This in-person event is the perfect opportunity to focus on self-care and well-being and take some much needed time for yourself to allow you to regain balance in your daily life and coherence between you mind, body and soul to guide what’s best for you moving forward.

About Your Host

Stephanie Meades is a multi-faceted wellness expert whose life’s mission is to guide others toward achieving their highest potential in health, wellbeing, and performance. With a diverse professional background as a Holistic Nutritionist (Grad. Dip Human Nutrition), Exercise Physiologist (B. Ex. Sci & Rehab), Certified Ayurvedic Health Coach, Breathwork Practitioner, Meditation Teacher, Corporate and Community Wellness Advisor, Author, Speaker, and Mentor, Stephanie brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to her work. She is also a devoted wife and mother, roles that have deeply informed her understanding of balance, resilience, and personal growth.

Her journey into health and wellness spans over two decades and is rooted in a deep commitment to both scientific and holistic approaches. Stephanie’s formal education in Western health sciences—including a double degree in Exercise Science and Rehabilitation—provides her with a solid foundation in human physiology, injury recovery, and physical wellbeing. However, it is her passion for Ayurveda, the ancient “Science of Life,” that has truly shaped her holistic approach to healing. By merging the wisdom of Ayurveda with modern Western practices, she offers a comprehensive, well-rounded perspective on health that addresses the body, mind, and spirit.

Throughout her career, Stephanie has worked in a variety of settings, from community health initiatives and corporate wellness programs to private practice and rehabilitation. These experiences have granted her a unique insight into the diverse ways in which individuals struggle with illness, injury, and the challenges of modern life. It has also reinforced her belief in the power of personalised care—each person has their own unique path to wellness, and her role is to help them discover and follow it.

Stephanie’s approach is centred on simplicity and practicality. She believes that achieving optimal wellness and mind-body performance doesn’t require complex solutions or overwhelming lifestyle changes. Instead, she empowers individuals with the knowledge and tools to make small, sustainable shifts in their daily routines. Through nutrition, movement, nervous system regulation, mindset work, connection, and breathwork, Stephanie helps her clients build a strong foundation for lifelong health. She emphasizes the importance of “response-ability”—the ability to respond to life’s challenges with resilience and mindfulness—encouraging individuals to take control of their health journey, no matter where they start.

Her vision is to be a catalyst for positive change. Through her work as a coach, speaker, and mentor, Stephanie has inspired countless individuals to regain control of their health and wellbeing. She uses simple, evidence-based behavioral strategies to guide her clients toward lasting transformation, focusing on practical, achievable goals that align with their unique needs and aspirations. Her focus is always on sustainable lifestyle modifications—changes that are not only scientifically proven but also deeply nourishing for the body and soul.

Stephanie’s work extends beyond one-on-one coaching. She is passionate about creating a ripple effect of wellness within communities and corporate environments. As a wellness advisor, she partners with organizations to design programs that foster healthier, more engaged workplaces, supporting employees in cultivating balance, resilience, and wellbeing. Whether in a corporate boardroom or a community centre, Stephanie brings her infectious enthusiasm, knowledge, and compassionate approach to all she does.

In her personal life, Stephanie draws inspiration from her roles as a wife and mother, understanding that true health encompasses not only mental and physical fitness but also emotional and relational wellbeing. She embodies the principles she teaches, creating a harmonious balance between her professional aspirations and her family life.

Through her journey, Stephanie has come to understand that health is not a destination but a lifelong journey of self-discovery and growth. She believes that by embracing simplicity, mindfulness, and self-compassion, everyone has the potential to live a vibrant, thriving life. Whether coaching an individual or leading a corporate wellness program, Stephanie Meades is dedicated to helping others unlock their full potential and live their best lives.

Her work is not just about changing habits—it’s about transforming lives. By meeting people where they are and guiding them with compassion and expertise, Stephanie has become a beacon of hope and inspiration for those seeking to create lasting positive change in their lives.
