What is behind this contains rapid flashing and strobing colour. It can trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy, and it is unpleasant for migraine too. There is nothing here you need.
Small residential retreats in Aotearoa New Zealand, for women in medicine. One a year, fifteen places.
Take the walka slower way in — three minutesWhat ALIGN is
ALIGN is the retreat arm of Your Lifestyle Medics. Marissa Kelaher and Morgana Woolhouse-Williams run it, and both still work in clinical practice.
Fifteen places. That is the number where everyone in the room gets spoken to.
The programme covers sleep, food, movement, stress and habit change: lifestyle medicine you already use on patients, turned around and pointed at you. Nobody has to explain the job to anybody.
Lifestyle medicine with an evidence base, taught by people who use it.
Changes that survive a night shift. Nothing that needs you to be perfect.
We say what a retreat can do and what it cannot.
Fifteen women who already know the job.

What we don’t claim
Nothing here treats a medical or psychiatric condition, and a retreat is not care. You know that better than we do.
If you are in crisis, this is the wrong four days. We would rather say so now than after you have paid.
