Dr Verena delivers transformative, science-backed experiences that go far beyond traditional health advice, guiding women through both the outer and inner journey of healing, recalibration, and profound personal change. Her work integrates the gut–brain connection, nervous system regulation, metabolic health, somatic healing, and the deeper physical, mental, emotional, and subconscious drivers of wellbeing, addressing the true root causes behind symptoms rather than simply managing them.
Her approach is not about adding more to your plate, it is about changing how your body functions, how your nervous system responds, and how you relate to yourself from within.
At the core of her work is the understanding that lasting transformation occurs when the body feels safe enough to shift out of survival patterns and into healing. Through somatic practices, nervous system recalibration, and deep inner work, she facilitates the release of stored stress, emotional imprints, and outdated protective patterns that may be keeping women stuck physically, mentally, and emotionally.
With a strong focus on perimenopause and menopause, Dr Verena supports women in understanding the profound neurobiological, hormonal, emotional, and metabolic shifts unfolding during this phase of life. She translates complex science into clear, actionable insight, helping women move beyond confusion, disconnection, and overwhelm into clarity, resilience, self-trust, and deeper alignment with themselves.
Through a powerful combination of education, targeted nutrition, nervous system regulation, somatic healing, and aligned lifestyle strategies, she guides women to restore energy, metabolism, hormones, sleep, emotional balance, and body composition, while also reconnecting to their intuition, authenticity, and inner capacity for change.
Her work invites a deeper transformation:
from pushing to supporting,
from overriding to listening,
from disconnecting to embodying,
and from surviving to truly thriving.
The Shift: A Perimenopause Transformational Immersion
14th -17th May 2027
A 3-day immersive experience to reconnect with your body, recalibrate your biology, and step into your next chapter with clarity and power.
This retreat is a deliberate pause designed to change the trajectory of how you experience midlife.
Set in a 5-star beachfront sanctuary ‘The Bunker’ in Gerringong on the South Coast, this intimate 3-day, 2-night experience is a curated journey inward for women aged 35–55 who feel the shift… and know they are being called into something more. Inspired by a transformational retreat model of deep inner work, somatic practice, and intentional recalibration, this experience goes beyond surface-level wellness to create lasting change at the level of the nervous system, identity, and physiology.
Perimenopause is often the greatest wake-up call for women, a phase where the body no longer supports old patterns of overgiving, pushing, and self-neglect. It is an invitation to identify and release limiting beliefs, outdated behaviours, and ways of operating that no longer serve you, and to step into your most authentic self-expression on every level.
Across the retreat, you will move through a carefully designed arc:
→ Connect with the patterns and beliefs that once supported you but are now holding you back
→ Release through breathwork, somatic practices, sound healing, and movement
→ Recalibrate your nervous system, energy, and metabolism
→ Reclaim a new way of living that is aligned, sustainable, and truly supportive of your next chapter
Through transformative workshops with Dr Verena, alongside cacao ceremony, breathwork, somatic release, strength training, yin yoga, meditation, sound healing, beach walks, and massages, you won’t just switch off, you will retrain how your body, mind, and nervous system function.
It is about understanding what your body is asking of you, and rising to meet it.
Integration: Living the Principles That Support Your Next Chapter
This retreat is not just an experience, it is a blueprint for how to live differently.
You won’t just learn, you will apply, embody, and integrate practical, actionable strategies that you can carry home and implement immediately in your daily life.
Grounded in the critical role of muscle as a metabolic organ, alongside protein intake for hormonal and cognitive health, nervous system regulation, recovery, and metabolic flexibility, you will be guided to integrate the key lifestyle principles required to truly thrive in this phase.
This includes the 30:30 foundation, aiming for ~30g of protein with each meal and ~30g of fibre per day, alongside increasing pre- and probiotics to support your gut–brain axis and metabolic health.
You will also be guided on how to:
build and maintain muscle through resistance training
regulate your nervous system as the master regulator of your health
stabilise blood sugar and support metabolic flexibility
create stronger boundaries around your time and energy
prioritise recovery and sleep as non-negotiables
Throughout the retreat, you will enjoy nourishing, organic wholefoods inspired by Doctor Verena’s Kitchen, bringing these principles to life in a practical and delicious way, so you not only understand them, but experience how to live them.
Surrounded by nature, beach, ocean air, and a powerful community of like-minded women, you will be held in a space designed for depth, clarity, and expansion.
This is more than a retreat, it’s a catalyst for becoming the woman who can carry you into your next chapter.
To support your integration beyond the retreat, you will receive a cookbook copy of Doctor Verena’s Kitchen: Eating for Ultimate Health Made Easy, along with a curated gift bag featuring some of Dr Verena’s top-tier, practitioner-grade supplements, designed to help you continue implementing these principles in your daily life.
This experience is for you if:
you feel like what used to work… no longer works
you’re experiencing fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, or overwhelm
you sense a shift in yourself but don’t yet feel aligned with it
you’re ready to stop pushing and start working with your body
you want to understand your biology and feel back in control
You will leave this retreat:
understanding your body instead of fighting it
with a clear, science-backed framework to support your energy and metabolism
feeling calmer, more regulated, and more resilient
connected to a way of living that supports your next chapter
stepping into a more aligned, confident, and powerful version of yourself
