6-Sunday Holistic Health Retreat
A 6-week deep dive at Natureville to reclaim your health. We combine medical nutrition, oil-free plant-based cooking, and movement therapy to help you reverse lifestyle diseases and feel truly alive.
Become your own nutritionist and make your kitchen your pharmacy. This poster for my 6-Sunday Health Retreat captures the essence of our beautiful venue, Natureville, and the core promise of the program: to empower you with knowledge and practical skills.
I've shifted my focus from one-on-one sessions to group healing experiences like the 6-Sunday Retreat because I believe in the power of community. Here I am, holding a basket of fresh produce, ready to welcome a new batch of participants to their transformative journey.
This video gives you a peek into the variety of skills you'll learn at the cooking academy. We cover everything from quick 30-minute meals and oil-free cooking techniques to dairy-free alternatives, raw foods, mastering millets, and guilt-free desserts.
A proud moment from our January 2024 retreat. Here, the participants have just learned how to make the perfect masala chai without any dairy, using dates for sweetness. It's all about learning to recreate your favorite comfort foods in a healthy, healing way.
Sunday 4 of our retreat was all about raw food. This video shows the vibrant spread, from fresh fruit platters to hands-on preparation of raw ravioli, ricotta cheese, and even a raw Twix bar. It was a day of cleansing, learning, and delicious, live-energy food.
Movement is a vital part of our holistic approach. In the serene, green-filled balcony of Natureville, participants engage in a yoga session, connecting with their bodies before we nourish them with food. This is what mind-body balance looks like.
The joy and camaraderie of our retreat participants. The connections formed during these six weeks are just as important as the nutritional knowledge. We create a supportive tribe that encourages and celebrates each other's progress.

A glass of our signature green smoothie, a cornerstone of the diet I recommend. Packed with leafy greens and fruits, this simple daily habit provides a powerful dose of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to kickstart your day and your health.
A hearty and wholesome millet biryani, cooked without oil in a pressure cooker. This demonstrates how you can enjoy traditional, flavorful Indian dishes while adhering to whole-food, plant-based principles. It's about abundance, not restriction.
About The 6-Sunday Health Retreat
This isn't just a workshop; it's a medical nutrition program. Before we begin, I personally review your blood reports—like your HbA1c and lipid profiles—to create a roadmap for your health. Over these six Sundays in Indiranagar, you’ll learn the science of disease reversal, how to prepare oil-free, plant-based meals that actually taste good, and how to stop treating your kitchen as a chore and start using it as your pharmacy.
Most people approach health with rigid rules, but your body isn't a machine that follows calorie-in-calorie-out logic; it is a complex supercomputer. If you are struggling with diabetes, PCOD, or chronic fatigue, it is often because your cells are simply overwhelmed. Imagine your cells as little homes with jammed doors; insulin resistance is the lock that got stuck. My 6-Sunday retreat is designed to help you unlock those doors using the right plant-based fuel.
What we cover across the 6 Sundays:
- The Science of Nutrition: We move past myths. I explain the 'why' behind what you eat—from insulin sensitivity to the role of short-chain fatty acids—so you can make informed decisions long after the retreat ends.
- Practical Culinary Skills: We don't just talk; we cook. You will learn to make oil-free tadkas, dairy-free curd, millet rotis, and even sugar-free desserts sweetened with dates. These aren't 'diet foods'; they are complete, satisfying meals.
- Holistic Movement & Mindset: Food is only one pillar. We integrate yoga, music therapy, and emotional healing sessions to ensure your mind is as nourished as your body.
- Measurable Results: We track your progress. With pre- and post-retreat bloodwork analysis, you can see exactly how your lifestyle changes are impacting your health markers.
This is a non-residential, day-retreat format, limited to small groups to ensure you get personalized attention. By the end of the six weeks, you won't need a coach or a diet plan—you will have the skills to sustain this lifestyle for the rest of your life.
