Your Delicious Day Out Awaits!

A Midlife Reset in a Day

Akaroa Day Retreat | Saturday 2 May 2026 – Book Now

If your body feels like it’s changed overnight – cravings louder, energy lower, sleep weird, weight not shifting like it used to – it's not your fault. You’re in midlife… and you just need a plan that actually matches what’s happening in your hormones, blood sugar and nervous system.

This day is your chance to hit pause – not for “pampering”, but for real tools + real food + real clarity… and being around other women who just get it, so you can breathe and feel a whole lot less alone – in a way that’s totally doable when you go back to normal life.

Reset

Step out of the noise and into a calmer nervous system — because cortisol and chaos don’t mix.

Learn

Understand blood sugar, cravings, and why midlife weight gain isn’t just about willpower.

Do

Hands-on food + practical tools so you can go home and implement immediately.

What we'll cover:

Blood sugar + cravings + midlife weight

What’s driving “food noise”, snacking, crashes, and stubborn weight – and how to stabilise it without dieting.

Your two energy systems (and how to tap into fat-burning with fasting)

How your body switches from sugar-burning to fat-burning, how midlife fasting supports that shift, and what can block it in perimenopause/menopause

Food that supports hormones (and still tastes amazing)

Simple, nourishing, recreatable meals you’ll actually want to make again (that you'll create yourself).

Stress, sleep + nervous system support

Because you can eat “perfectly”… and still feel awful if your body is living in fight-or-flight.

How the day flows...

Arrive + settle in (no awkward icebreakers, promise) enjoying a chia seed pudding
Workshop: blood sugar + midlife symptoms + cravings
Kitchen session: cook together + learn easy “go-to” meals
Gentle outdoor walk: a simple post-meal move to support blood sugar balance, digestion, and a calmer nervous system
Nervous system reset: practical tools you can use immediately
Your personal plan: what you’ll do for the next 7 days (simple + realistic)

What a refreshing day, so enjoyable. I felt spoilt and nurtured and as thought I had had wonderful knowledge imported to me. It has inspired me to make some small changes and even if it’s just 1 %, I understand that this will make a change long term.

Mel

Wick is passionate about healthy living and it was fantastic to be part of this experience. I would recommend this to anyone. It works well for those of us who don’t or can’t prioritise time for themselves.

Serena

Thank you so much for today I came along a bit nervous about not having a friend with me but I’m so glad I did, it’s boosted my confidence to try other things by myself. The whole day was brilliant. I think we all left feeling empowered. Thank you!

Helen

Wick made me feel comfortable right from the minute I came to the door. She is a wealth of knowledge, from nutrition to stress reduction, is very engaging and fun to be around. It was a fantastic, well organised, fun day with amazing food to cook and share together.

Helena

I really enjoy Wick’s passion for healthy food and wellbeing. It’s infectious. With this being my 3rd retreat with Wick (I’ve attended two of her weekend ones), there’s always lots to learn and try each time I come along.

I would recommend the day for reconnecting with your body, sharing with other women and gaining knowledge from Wick for healthier options for food and your body.

Julie

Great for a healthy and relaxed break from life while learning lots of new tips and rekindling how important self-care is.

Vanessa

It was such a privilege and amazing experience to spend the day with Wick and other ladies going through similar life changing times. I’ve learnt how important it is to focus on your health. Thanks Wick for the fantastic tips and great laughs throughout the day.

Leigh

I love attending Wick’s retreats, this is my third one. The group of ladies were lovely, as was the food. Learning about stress management and blood sugar levels was enlightening, and I left well-informed and with a plan to make positive changes.

Donelle

What a relaxing, fun, informative and all round great day! Thank you for sharing your passion and it’s been a fantastic reminder to put ourselves first. I highly recommend to other women to come together, share the experience of what you need to do to get started, restart and/or continue doing what you have been working on. We’ve got this!

Fiona

What a fabulous day retreat, a lot of thought, time and effort went into creating the day and it really showed ... lots of useful information, important and presented in an interesting way, practical stress relief exercises and the most impressive, having 10 women in your kitchen making 4 different recipes at the same time! We were the orchestra and you were our conductor ... thank you, thank you, and book me for the next one please!

In case you don't know me,
Hi, I'm Wick!

I’m a midlife woman too – and I’ve coached and supported a whole lot of women who felt blindsided by how much perimenopause/menopause can affect everything.

I’m a certified Fast Like a Girl Coach under Dr Mindy Pelz, and I’m big on teaching in a way that’s practical, real-life, and actually doable. No perfection. No you're doing it wrong. Just tools that work with your body – and help you feel like you again, that fit in with YOUR every day life.
