I saw this quote a while ago and I absolutely love it:

“Your body will be around a lot longer that that expensive handbag. Invest in yourself.”

We all have one body and one life to live, so it’s vital that we nurture both. I am so excited to share this incredible retreat with you.

Anassa was born out of a dream to create sanctuary from our busy lives to transform, heal and feel inspired. Unlock the physical, mental & emotional blockages that prevent you from reaching full vitality and optimal health, guiding you back to a state of flow.

Qualified Integrative Medical practitioner and psychiatrist, Dr.Siobhan Dawson and Corporate Visionary Megan Abbott, host immersive retreats and workshops in idyllic locations in and around Cape Town.

They combine insights from Neuroscience and Functional medicine with evidenced-based healing practices. Cocooned in nature and spa like facilities, they support your discovery through gentle detox; resetting the nervous system; movement medicine; sound bathing; deep inquiry & playfulness.

In our demanding, over connected lives, we can lose perspective and our sense of inner happiness and meaning. Anassa inspires to tap into your innate resources, empowering you to master your life.

Anassa’s Getaway Retreats are hosted at the idyllic Angala Boutique Hotel which is nestled in the Franschhoek winelands.. Encapsulated by mountains and rich biodiversity, the peace is only splintered with bird song. Angala offers our clients the perfect respite to unwind, reflect, heal & rebalance. Angala’s facilities include an Eco pool naturally filtered by medicinal plants; an infrared sauna & steam room for deep detoxification; a heated Ozone swimming pool for cell rejuvenation and a cold plunge pool. The luxurious rooms offer indoor and outdoor showers; small private gardens and state of the art amenities. Angala is your barefoot 5-star sanctuary at the foothills of the Simonsberg mountain. An in-house chef creates a nutritious menu plan for the retreats. Anassa desires that you feel pampered and will return home replenished and vital.
