You hold space for everyone else.
But when was the last time someone held you?
This retreat was created for the people who care deeply, lead with strength and rarely stop.
A place where your nervous system gets to rest, recalibrate, and be met with care.
You’ll breathe again. Sleep deeply. Eat slowly. Laugh.
You’ll remember what it feels like to be cared for, not needed.
WHY YOU’RE COMING?
You’re ready to stop managing your life and start living it.
To be held, not needed.
To rest without guilt.
To remember who you are when you’re not leading, fixing, or performing calm.
To feel at home in your body again - steady, alive, safe and on purpose.
To belong somewhere that understands what it takes to hold space, and what it costs.
THE EXPERIENCE?
A grounded process of nervous system recalibration, guided by trauma-informed facilitators.
Through breathwork, somatic release, and relational repair, you’ll retrain your body to recognise safety and vitality again.
Each day we balance evidence-based practice with spiritual depth, bridging neuroscience, psychology, and presence.
You’ll leave regulated, rested, and reconnected to your own capacity.
THE SPACE?
Perched in Ubud, the villas holds the kind of quiet that recalibrates you.
Luxury rooms, infinity pool, and the sound of ricefields at dawn.
This isn’t a resort. It’s nervous system medicine disguised as luxury.
Every sunrise slows your breath. Every meal says you’re safe now. No decisions, every decision made for you.
Through intentional supportive exercises facilitated with expertise, safety, care and play we will support the integration of your mind, body and spirit.
Mind
Unpack the patterns that keep you overthinking and teach your brain how to soften.
Body
Breathe, move, cry, shake, rest. Let the tension leave the same way it came - through your body.
Spirit
Meet the part of you that existed before performance, before perfection - the one that still remembers freedom.
Every part of you is welcome here. The parts you love, the parts you hide, the parts you’re still learning to hold. This retreat is designed to help you release stored tension, feel deeply again, and reconnect with your intuition and purpose.
Each day layers breathwork, depth-oriented psychotherapy (ISTDP principles), and spiritual practice to guide you home — safely, gently, and powerfully.
You will be led by two master-level facilitators with over 50 years of combined experience.
This is not a retreat to escape your life—this is where you come to live it more fully.
You’ll leave with tools to regulate your nervous system, complete emotional loops, and cultivate loving, honest connection with yourself and others.
This is sacred work. This is soul work. This is YOUR work.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
You are a super feeler, quirky or a misfit.
You love to laugh, connect with open minded people + feel deeply.
Perhaps you've struggled to find a place to belong and yet you sense it's at close reach.
You 'know' a lot about yourself, though you've got walls up with the FEELING part or perhaps you've misattributed high anxiety with too much FEELING.
You've struggled to face your shadow parts and want a therapist who can fully hold you in that with truth, honestly, and love.
You are a healthcare professional who sees that the system is imperfect and want to be part of the change.
You have dabbled in the spiritual space and want to go deeper.

TESTIMONIALS
Amelia Finn, 5 *"I have attended lots of breathwork in the past & absolutely loved this one! Her space is so beautiful. I instantly felt held & supported as soon as I walked in the door. Everyone was lovely & i left feeling so light & had the best sleep I’ve had in a while that night. Mel helped me understand what breathwork does to the body in a new way I had not heard before because of her psychology background. I am feeling more motivated to do breathwork on my own again now and will definitely be attending this again because it’s so much easier in a group setting. Would highly recommend you giving it a go! Thank you Zensohouse.
"Alanasia M, 5*"I have now attended many breathwork sessions at Zenso House and would describe it as a warm, welcoming, and transformational space. Each class is thoughtfully curated and expertly guided, leaving you feeling open, grounded, and cared for. I’m so grateful for the calm it brings me and the dellish tea at the end...the lil cherry on top!If you’re feeling stressed, tired, or overwhelmed, the breathwork sessions are the perfect way to shift your nervous system and reconnect with yourself. Mel is a wonderful facilitator with a unique ability to hold space for whatever you need, and her beautiful energy makes every session feel safe and deeply restorative.Beyond Mel, the real point of difference at Zenso is the sense of community between people with diverse backgrounds and experiences. I've connected with so many lovely souls here and am constantly inspired by the wonderful people that attend (think healthcare workers, business owners, fitness enthusiasts, uni students, breathwork beginners, energetic healers, and all around just good humans)!Life led me here at a time I needed it most, so if you feel called to attend, give it a try… you may find you’ve arrived in exactly the right place :)"I attended the Rhythm + Release breathwork workshop last night for the second time and have been finding the experience so valuable and enjoyable! Learning about the breathwork techniques has been a real journey in connecting with self and also being able to release pent up emotions and ground myself at the same time.The facilitator Mel is a warm and welcoming practitioner with hands on/hands off options depending on your comfort level, and guides you through a series of breathing modes and relaxation.The setting at Zenso House is also very calming, beautiful, and relaxing, the perfect environment to visit to start/end the the day.I can't recommend enough attending one of the breathwork or other classes here - thanks Mel!

"Rose Currie, 5*"I would highly recommend the breathwork with Mel at Zenso house. The group was expertly held, and I felt so comfortable in the beautiful space. Her guidance helped me feel present in every moment through the process.Mel is genuine, welcoming and knowledgeable. She is creating a very special community space for connection. �
"Danica (DNM Kinesiology), 5*"Zenso House is a space that feels like an exhale - soft, safe and so thoughtfully held. I had the honour of attending a breathwork event with Melissa, Mimmi and Tracey, and it was pure magic.There’s a calmness in the air that invites you to land gently back in your body. The space felt like a cocoon - nurturing, grounding, and deeply supportive. Whether you’re new to breathwork or well on your path, Zenso House offers the kind of safety and presence that allows you to truly soften and go deeper.Melissa holds space with such a unique blend of evidence-based wisdom and intuitive presence.You can truly feel the love and intention poured into Zenso House. Melissa has created something really special here - you can feel the intention in every detail. Highly recommend for anyone craving real connection - to self, to breath, and to something bigger."
