9 Senses Wellness Retreat

💜 THE EVENING GLOW BLEND

Not every wellness ritual needs to be complicated.

Sometimes it is simply making something beautiful, sitting down, and giving yourself ten quiet minutes.

This berry-rich evening blend combines blueberries, banana, chia seeds, unsweetened almond milk and the delicate aroma of culinary lavender.

🫐 Blueberries — naturally rich in polyphenols
🍌 Banana — natural sweetness and potassium
🌱 Chia seeds — fibre and plant-based omega-3 ALA
🥛 Unsweetened almond milk — a light creamy base
💜 Culinary lavender — a delicate botanical touch
🍯 A little honey — optional

My Evening Glow Blend

125 g blueberries
1 small banana, about 90–100 g peeled
200 ml unsweetened almond milk
5 g chia seeds
0.5 g culinary lavender, about ¼ teaspoon
5–10 g honey, optional

Blend until smooth.

If it is too thick, add 30–50 ml water.

Then step away from the kitchen.

Put your phone down.
Make yourself comfortable.
Enjoy it slowly.

This isn't about chasing perfect skin.

It's about creating little rituals that make you feel good — and nourishing your body along the way.

Nourish from within. Unwind naturally. 🌙

Now tell me…

Are you a morning smoothie person or an evening ritual person?

🤍 Save this one for a quiet evening.
And send it to someone who deserves a little more time for herself.

✨ THE GOLDEN GLOW BLEND

Some of the most beautiful wellness rituals begin with very simple ingredients.

Carrot.
Orange.
Ginger.
Turmeric.
A little black pepper.

And just enough honey to make you want to drink it again.

This vibrant golden blend brings together colourful plant foods naturally rich in antioxidants and other beneficial nutrients.

🥕 Carrot — naturally rich in beta-carotene
🍊 Orange — a delicious source of vitamin C
🫚 Ginger — warming and refreshing
🌿 Turmeric — traditionally valued for its golden botanical compounds
🖤 Black pepper — a tiny addition that can help increase the bioavailability of curcumin
🍯 Honey — just enough for sweetness

My 9 Senses Golden Glow Blend

200 g carrot
1 large orange, about 180 g peeled
10 g fresh ginger
10 g fresh turmeric
A small pinch of black pepper
5–10 g honey, optional
100 ml water

Blend until smooth and enjoy fresh.

I love this one because it doesn't taste like a “health drink”.

It tastes bright, warming, fresh and alive.

And that is how I think wellness should feel — something you genuinely enjoy, rather than something you force yourself to do.

🌿 Nourish from within. Care for yourself from the outside.

Would you drink this in the morning, or save it for an afternoon pick-me-up?

Let's discuss. 👇

🤍 Save the recipe before you forget it.
And share it with someone who loves a golden wellness ritual.

🌿 YOUR SKIN LOVES THIS GREEN

What if your next beauty ritual started in the kitchen?

We often think about what we put on our skin — but the food we eat provides the nutrients our body uses to maintain healthy skin.

This fresh green blend brings together cucumber, green apple, spinach, parsley, coriander, lemon and ginger — a beautiful combination of hydration, fibre and plant nutrients.

🥒 Cucumber — fresh and naturally hydrating
🍏 Green apple — sweetness and plant polyphenols
🌿 Coriander & parsley — fresh leafy herbs full of plant compounds
🥬 Spinach — a source of folate, vitamin C and carotenoids
🍋 Lemon — bright, fresh and naturally rich in vitamin C
🫚 Ginger — a warming botanical addition

My 9 Senses Green Glow Blend

150 g cucumber
100 g green apple
20 g fresh coriander
20 g fresh parsley
30 g baby spinach
½ lemon
5 g fresh ginger
150 ml water

Blend until smooth and enjoy fresh.

No complicated “detox programme”.
No miracle promises.

Just beautiful whole foods, plenty of colour and a simple daily habit.

Because healthy-looking skin is cared for from both the outside and within. 🌿

Would you add coriander to your smoothie — or would you leave it out?

Tell me below. I’m curious what you think.

🤍 Save this recipe for your next grocery shop.
And if someone in your life is trying to eat more beautifully, send it their way.

**Golden Wellness in Every Sip ✨**

At **9 Senses Wellness Retreat**, we believe that some of nature's most powerful remedies have been cherished for centuries. One of our favourites is **turmeric**—the vibrant golden root known for supporting whole-body wellness.

Turmeric contains **curcumin**, a natural compound celebrated for its powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Research suggests it may help support:

🌿 Healthy joints and mobility
🌿 A balanced inflammatory response
🌿 Digestive health
🌿 Immune function
🌿 Heart health
🌿 Brain health and healthy ageing
🌿 Radiant, healthy-looking skin

Did you know?

Curcumin is naturally difficult for the body to absorb. Adding a pinch of freshly ground black pepper can dramatically improve absorption because black pepper contains **piperine**, a natural compound that enhances curcumin bioavailability.

For even better absorption, enjoy turmeric with a healthy fat such as olive oil or coconut milk.

# # # 9 Senses Golden Turmeric Latte

**Ingredients**

* 250 ml unsweetened almond or coconut milk
* 1 tsp turmeric powder (or 2 tsp freshly grated turmeric)
* ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
* Small pinch freshly ground black pepper
* ½ tsp extra virgin olive oil or 1 tsp coconut oil
* Optional: small piece of fresh ginger, grated
* Optional: 1 tsp raw honey or maple syrup, to taste

**Method**
Warm all ingredients gently in a saucepan over medium heat for 3–5 minutes. Do not boil. Blend or whisk until smooth and frothy. Pour into your favourite mug and enjoy mindfully.

Sometimes the most luxurious wellness ritual is simply slowing down with a warm cup in your hands.

✨ Nourish your body. Calm your mind. Awaken your senses.

HOT STONE MASSAGE by Olia

When was the last time your body felt completely warm, relaxed, and cared for?

Many of us carry stress without even noticing.

It settles into the neck.
The shoulders.
The lower back.

We become used to feeling tired, tense, and disconnected from ourselves.

🌿 Hot Stone Massage is one of the most deeply relaxing treatments I offer.

Smooth heated basalt stones are gently incorporated into the massage, allowing warmth to pe*****te deeply into tired muscles. As tension begins to melt away, the body softens, breathing slows, and the mind becomes quiet.

Many clients describe it as feeling wrapped in warmth from the inside out.

✨ Benefits of Hot Stone Massage

• Relieves muscular tension and stiffness
• Encourages deep relaxation
• Helps calm a busy mind
• Improves circulation
• Leaves the body feeling lighter and restored

After your treatment, take a little time to linger.

Enjoy a soothing herbal tea, breathe deeply, and allow yourself to simply be.

Because wellness isn't about escaping life.

It's about returning to yourself.
