The world’s first and only Metabolic Health Retreat designed exclusively for neurodivergent, perimenopausal women.
Your burnout isn't a mindset problem. It's a metabolic one. And we finally have your blueprint
17-24 January 2027 | Kampot | Cambodia
(8 places in total — 5 standard and 3 with 121 support)
There's a quiet, heavy weariness that comes from trying so hard to fix yourself. Right now, you might feel like you just need a really long sleep, or a holiday—but you've probably already noticed that even when you stop, the profound exhaustion doesn't leave.
That's because you cannot simply 'rest' your way out of the Cell Danger Response. A standard holiday might give you a beautiful change of scenery, but it doesn't give you the manual for your neurodivergent metabolism.
To truly step out of burnout, you need to understand the remarkable science of your own body. Through daily, deeply supportive coaching, metabolic education, and gentle strategy, we will show you, step by step, how to heal. We don't just hold space for you to read and sleep; we're giving you the lifelong skills, knowledge, and interventions to turn your energy back on for good.
Because the true healing you're longing for isn't something you have to force, or earn, or push for. It is a biological memory held deep within your mitochondria. When you finally have the scientific blueprint to signal 'safe' to your nervous system, your body remembers what to do. The fight ends, the exhaustion lifts, and you finally come back to life.
Mito-Meno Restore is an invitation to rest inside that biological remembrance. It's a guided journey back to the deep medicine of cellular safety, where the science of your metabolism, the grounding rhythm of nature, and our expert coaching weave together.
A space designed to tell your beautifully neurodivergent body that you don't have to fight anymore—you are, finally, safely held.
Hannah is a rare find. She is the perfect blend of a practical guide and a dedicated health advocate who truly understands the struggles of our minds and bodies. She is on this earth to help people, and she does it with unparalleled integrity and intuition.

This Retreat Is For You If...
◇ You identify as neurodivergent — whether formally diagnosed or simply knowing in your bones that your nervous system works differently.
◇ You're experiencing perimenopause, or anywhere along your hormonal journey and recognising that something has fundamentally shifted.
◇ You are living with burnout that rest alone hasn't touched — the kind that a holiday cannot fix.
◇ You're exhausted by trying to heal yourself the neurotypical way — through pushing, restricting, and forcing.
◇ You're ready to understand the science of your own body and receive a lifelong blueprint for your energy.
◇ You can walk short distances comfortably, even slowly — mobility aids such as walking sticks are absolutely welcome.
◇ You're travelling solo and want to be held in a safe, understanding community of women who simply get it.
◇ You're based anywhere in the world and ready to travel to Cambodia for a truly transformative experience.
◇ You're living with Fibromyalgia, CFS/ME, Hypothyroidism, PMDD, or any other energy-related co-occurring condition so commonly found in neurodivergent women — you are not just welcome here, this retreat was built with you in mind.
This Retreat Is Not For You If...
◇ You're currently in a severe episode of depression or acute anxiety — your nervous system deserves a different kind of support right now, and we would never want to overwhelm it
◇ You're in such deep burnout that basic daily movement or clear thinking feels impossible at this time — this retreat requires a gentle baseline of capacity to receive what's being offered
◇ You require wheelchair access — we are heartbroken to say that our beautiful villa is not yet adequately equipped for this, and we don't want to compromise your safety or comfort
◇ You're looking for a product, supplement, or pill-based solution — We don't sell supplements, products, or quick fixes — only the science, the skills, and the space to heal
◇ You're not willing to embrace an alcohol-free experience — this isn't about permanent sobriety, simply about giving your mitochondria the cleanest possible environment to heal during these 8 days
◇ You're looking for a luxury holiday with wellness on the side — this is a genuine healing immersion and every element is designed with that intention
◇ You're unwilling to reduce daytime screen use during the retreat. Screen exposure and the blue light and nervous system activation it creates directly interferes with mitochondrial repair. We provide WiFi and trust your judgement completely, but if stepping away from your phone during sessions and meals feels impossible right now, your nervous system may need a different kind of support before it's ready for this immersion.
If you're currently in deep burnout and feel this retreat may be beyond your capacity right now, please know that you are not forgotten. Hannah offers extremely specialised one-to-one retreats designed specifically for women at that level of depletion. Please reach out through the contact page and we will find the right way to support you.

Welcome To Cambodia
It means a great deal to welcome you to our deeply safe, private sanctuary in Kampot, Cambodia. It has taken time to find a place that so perfectly honours the needs of a neurodivergent nervous system, and there is no more beautiful time to be here than January and February. During these months, the tropical heat gives way to gentle, balmy warmth and soft breezes. The lush green world is entirely in bloom, the pace of life feels wonderfully unhurried. It’s as if the earth herself is dropping her shoulders and inviting us to do the same.
We'll reside in an exclusive private villa set deep in nature. Here, the noise of a demanding world is replaced by dappled sunlight and profound silence. It's a space where the compulsion to mask falls away, and the body can finally exhale. You'll be surrounded by the grounding energy of old-growth nature—resting beside swaying coconut palms, vibrant orchids, and the shade of broad banana trees. This garden was chosen with intention — a living, breathing space where your nervous system can finally put down what it's been carrying.
Your Private Sensory Sanctuary
Step into your spotless, spacious, and deeply quiet ensuite bedroom. Designed to remove all overstimulation, your room is grounded with solid wooden furniture (absolutely no plastic here) and outfitted with breathable, crisp cotton sheets for uninterrupted, restorative sleep.
(No payment today — just a gentle conversation starter.)
My afternoon fatigue, 3 AM wake-ups, and rage are completely gone. My PMS headaches have disappeared, and my chronic pain is down 25%.
Sorphea, Kampot
Your Private Ensuite Bathroom
Enjoy a spotless, serene, and deeply private bathroom. Designed to soothe rather than stimulate, your washing space is free from synthetic chemical smells and visual clutter, offering a clean, calming environment to gently wash away the demands of the day.
Your 8-Day Sanctuary in Kampot, Cambodia.
This is an intimate, 8-space immersion set in a boutique villa surrounded by nature. Every element is designed to minimise demands and maximise healing.
Deep Privacy & Nature:
Your own private room, en-suite, and personal outdoor seating area in a grounding garden setting.
—-
Zero Social Pressure:
No expectation to mask, perform, or engage. All breakfasts are silent to ease you into the day. You can eat alone or take meals in your room whenever you choose.
—-
Education You Can Keep:
Daily, low-demand workshops or guided sessions with Hannah to learn the science of your mitochondria and how to heal.
—-
Healing Movement:
Gentle digestive yoga, mindful movement and face yoga with Rosa to coax your body out of fight or flight (all optional).
—-
Energetic Healing & Balance:
True metabolic healing extends beyond the physical. Through gentle Bioenergy Medicine practices—Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Tapping, and Reiki—we honour the body's energetic dimension, restoring flow and harmony to your energy channels so that healing can happen at every level of your being.
—-
Guilt-Free Free Time:
Every afternoon is yours. Opt for local excursions or healing bodywork or simply lie in a hammock and rest or read a book.
—--
Incredible, Zero-Restriction Food:
Healing your metabolism doesn't have to be about restriction. You'll be generously nourished with a beautiful wholefood menu designed to repair your cells and satisfy your senses—complete with daily desserts—while we safely accommodate all your specific dietary requirements and sensory needs.
—-
Your Private, Low-Demand Concierge:
To completely remove executive function fatigue, our dedicated concierge is on hand to handle all logistics for you. Whether you need her to run to the pharmacy with a list, source specific safe foods from the market, or effortlessly arrange your massages and gentle excursions, she takes care of every detail so you can simply rest.
—-
This is not a ‘cram-everything-in’ wellness retreat.
A Gently Daily Rhythm
(No payment today — just a gentle conversation starter.)
Nourishment That Heals
This is not diet food. This is not restriction. This is the most delicious your body has ever felt.
Every meal at Mito-Meno Restore is prepared with love by our private chef and designed around one simple principle — your metabolism works best when it feels completely safe.
For neurodivergent women, hunger is never just hunger. A drop in blood sugar activates adrenaline and cortisol almost instantly — pulling your nervous system straight back into the Cell Danger Response. So we don't do long fasting windows, we don't do restriction, and we don't do food that leaves you unsatisfied.
We do generous, beautiful, metabolically intelligent food — paired precisely to stabilise your blood sugar, silence your stress hormones, and keep your energy steady and calm all day long.
Throughout the retreat Hannah will teach you the simple, lifelong principles behind every meal — so you can take this knowledge home and nourish yourself this way forever.
This retreat is vegetarian. Beyond that, we will work with you personally before you arrive to understand your safe foods, your sensory needs, and any dietary requirements — so that every single meal feels like it was made just for you. Because it was.
Breakfast
Start your day gently — blood sugar stable, senses satisfied.
Breakfast is a long, quiet, unhurried buffet — the kind you return to at your own pace, in your own time, in your own silence. Overnight oats and grains, prepared with care and rotated across the week. A spread of fresh tropical fruit. Yogurt. Beautiful breads with an array of toppings — eggs, silken tofu, nut butters, crushed and marinated chickpeas. No rush. No small talk. Just a table laid with good things and all the time in the world to enjoy them.
All breakfasts are taken in beautiful, peaceful silence — no small talk, no demands. Just you, your food, and the sound of the garden.
Lunch
Long, abundant, and full of colour — lunch here is nothing like lunch at home.
Lunches are long, unhurried, and abundant. Think laden mezze boards and jewelled salads — chickpea, watermelon and mint, papaya with sesame tofu. Khmer-inspired tabbouleh with black rice and grilled tofu. Miso tempeh bowls, glossy with tamari and sesame, piled with roasted and fresh vegetables. Mexican-inspired sweet potatoes stuffed with black beans, corn, and guacamole. Coconut lime broths fragrant with herbs. Quinoa with roasted vegetables, pumpkin seeds, and tahini. Green goddess lentil bowls. And also… cheese.
Dinner
The most important meal of your healing day.
Think golden turmeric and ginger broths, slow-cooked tagines fragrant with butternut squash and warming spice, and velvety lentil dahls enriched with sweet potato. Cambodian Samlor Korko, its broth deep and nourishing. Bobor — the most comforting rice porridge you have ever tasted — with roasted root vegetables and medicinal mushrooms. Ayurvedic kitchari scattered with hemp and sesame seeds. Tofu amok, silky and aromatic, served with steamed greens and red rice.
Desserts
Because healing should be delicious.
Velvety chocolate bombs | Creamy cheesecakes |Cool, refreshing sorbets | Silky milk puddings | Coconut delights
Every dessert is chosen with your metabolism in mind — satisfying your senses without spiking your blood sugar.
Having neurodivergence be the starting point was revolutionary. The approach Hannah takes made my AuDHD feel less like a problem to solve and more of a factor to accommodate. The assessment was illuminating and the experiments we tried were genuinely easy to implement and high-impact.
Kim, Illinois

An invitation, never an obligation.
I understand the ND nervous system, and I know how to heal it.
Meet Hannah Anstee | Qualified Metabolic Health Coach & Founder
At 40, my metabolism collapsed. I went from hiking to bedbound, relying on a walking stick, diagnosed with CFS, Hypothyroidism, and Autistic Burnout.
My cells were locked in the Danger Response. I stopped trying to heal the neurotypical way. I stopped forcing, pushing, and restricting. I learned that for an ND woman, gentle movement is medicine and pushing is poison. Today, I move freely, think clearly, and wake up with energy I'd genuinely forgotten was possible.
My special interest is your cellular energy—I combine my lived AuDHD experience with rigorous, clinically-supervised metabolic science to help you turn the lights back on, one cell at a time.
The Foundation Behind This Work
Education & Training
I hold a degree in Community Education and spent 12 years working in the field before moving into coaching a decade ago.
My coaching qualification is accredited by:
◇ Society of Modern Applied Psychology (SoMAP)
My Metabolic Health Coaching certification is accredited by:
◇ International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine (IPHM)
◇ Complementary Medical Association (CMA)
---
The Research Behind The Method
The methodology you'll experience here goes beyond any single qualification.
I spent years deep in clinical research — cross-referencing PubMed studies, metabolic science, and neurodivergent biology — making connections between the Cell Danger Response and the ND female metabolism that simply aren't being taught or talked about anywhere.
This is original, pioneering work. And it works.
---
Clinical Supervision & Safety
To ensure the rigour and safety of this work, I practice under regular clinical supervision with an experienced, qualified Clinical Supervisor who has trained directly under two of the world's leading metabolic health scientists:
Dr Ben Bikman · Dr Mindy Pelz
---
Lived Experience
I bring all of this together with my own lived experience as an AuDHD woman who has navigated CFS, Hypothyroidism, and Autistic Burnout — and come out the other side.
I don't just understand your nervous system academically. I have lived inside it.
"I wasn't just burnt out — I had completely collapsed. I arrived in Cambodia barely functioning. What Hannah gave me wasn't another wellness protocol to push through. She engineered actual biological safety, and my nervous system finally stopped fighting. My energy and creativity came back online, I lost two inches from my waist, my eczema vanished, and — most importantly — I came home with a real blueprint for how to survive my life without destroying my health. She gave me my hope back."

Meet Rosa Mullen | Co-Host, Movement Specialist
Rosa's greatest gift is the feeling she creates the moment you arrive — that quiet, immediate sense of being wholly welcome, deeply held, and completely safe to be yourself.
As a highly experienced retreat leader and fully qualified Yoga and Pilates teacher, Rosa brings a rare quality of presence to our sanctuary. She understands that for a neurodivergent nervous system, movement is only medicine when it meets you exactly where you are — never where you think you should be.
Her approach blends ancient wisdom with a contemporary understanding of the nervous system, stress, hormones, and the body-mind connection. Everything she offers is centred around one thing: helping women come back to themselves gently, without pressure, and without performance.
Nourishing Yoga & Gentle Flow — supportive movement to unwind tension, restore ease, and improve circulation without any pressure to push or perform.
Digestive Yoga Therapy — stimulating the vagus nerve, easing visceral tension, and soothing a gut that has carried the weight of chronic stress.
Face Yoga — releasing the deep tension held in the jaw, face, and neck after a lifetime of masking.
Somatic Movement — soft practices to help release habitual stress responses held within the body.
Bioenergy Medicine — through Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Tapping, and Reiki, Rosa tends to the body's energetic dimension as well as the physical. Because true healing asks us to restore flow and harmony at every level of our being — not just the one we can see.
Restorative Yoga & Yoga Nidra — deeply nourishing practices designed to guide the body into profound rest, calm cortisol, and support healing at a cellular level.
Breathwork & Meditation — not to empty the mind or strive for stillness, but to create more space within the nervous system and help you feel safer inside your own body.
Together, we hold the space. You don't have to explain yourself to us. We already understand.
I didn't have to organise my thoughts or mask anything. I felt genuinely seen and heard — not just in what I was saying, but in how I process and experience the world. What stands out most is the combination of clarity and deep emotional safety — she creates a space where things can actually land and integrate.
Melissa, Kampot
Your Path to Healing
This is how the change begins.
1
Secure Your Sanctuary
This retreat holds only 8 women. That intimacy is intentional — it is what makes the depth of healing possible. When you reserve your place, you're not just booking a room. You're making a decision to finally put yourself at the centre of your own care. We'll be in touch to begin learning everything we need to know to make this experience perfectly yours.
2
Rest, Learn, and Begin to Return
For 8 days in the gentle warmth of Kampot, you will do something you may not have done in years — you will stop fighting. Through daily metabolic workshops, deeply restorative rest, nourishing food, and the quiet company of women who simply understand, you will begin to release the Cell Danger Response your body has been locked inside. You will leave not just rested, but educated — holding a clear, lifelong blueprint for your own energy that no one can ever take from you.
3
Return Home Renewed and Equipped
This is not a holiday you recover from. This is a turning point you build from. You will return to your life with repaired mitochondria, a nervous system that has remembered what safety feels like, and the practical skills to sustain your healing long after the Cambodian sun has faded. The women who leave this retreat don't go back to who they were. They go forward — finally, as themselves.
"It felt like a parallel universe where my actual capacity is genuinely enough. The tenderness, rigour, and accommodations baked into this offering are unlike anything I've ever experienced before. There is no push involved here."

Your Healing Travels Further Than You Know
When you invest in Mito-Meno Restore, you are doing something quietly extraordinary.
Hannah is a British coach based in Cambodia — and her roots here run deeper than a beautiful retreat location. As part of a direct-impact social enterprise model, every retreat and coaching investment made by women like you actively subsidises ongoing, pro-bono metabolic health coaching for local Khmer women — hardworking, remarkable women who are navigating the same exhaustion, the same hormonal shifts, the same biological depletion, but without access to any of the healthcare support they deserve.
These are women who fall entirely through the gap. Women for whom private coaching is simply not a financial reality. Women whose health quietly unravels without intervention.
Your presence here changes that.
By choosing to invest in your own healing, you are directly funding theirs. Two women's health restored for the price of one. That is not a marketing line — it is simply what happens when you book your place.
Because Hannah believes that metabolic liberation should not be a privilege reserved for those who can afford it.
Your Unspoken Worries, Answered
-
Then you do not attend. There is absolute zero guilt. We fully support "bed-to-hammock" days. Your only job is to listen to your body.
-
Yes. Forcing food that causes sensory distress impacts healing. We will discuss your safe foods and dietary needs beforehand so our kitchen can nourish you safely.
-
No. There is no forced group sharing. Breakfasts are totally silent. You can be as private or quietly companionable as you wish.
-
The latest modern science shows us that profound burnout isn't in your head—it’s in your cells. In simple terms, your metabolism is how your body creates energy. When you are deeply exhausted, your cellular "batteries" (your mitochondria) are physically failing to hold a charge. Metabolic healing isn't about rigid diets or trying to lose weight; it is the rigorous, evidence-based science of repairing those cellular batteries so your body can naturally produce energy again, rather than forcing you to run on adrenaline and survive on empty. (If your brain loves the science, you can read the deep-dive into my unique clinical methodology here .
-
Not at all. Hannah has been bedbound herself and knows this reality. Movement is optional and targeted at face, gut, and gentle stretching. You are never asked to push.
-
Your private room is fully air-conditioned. The villa is heavily shaded by nature, and our schedule allows you to rest indoors during the warmest afternoon hours.
-
This space was created exactly for the woman who feels like she never fits in. You will be alongside women who understand the exhaustion of masking. You only have to be yourself.
-
Discovered and coined by Dr. Robert Naviaux, the Cell Danger Response (CDR) is an ancient, biological mechanism where your cells physically shut down their energy production in the face of a perceived threat. For neurodivergent women, a lifetime of masking and living in a neurotypical world signals to the nervous system that it is fundamentally "unsafe," locking your biology into this protective state. Instead of making energy to help you thrive, your cells freeze to protect you, causing profound, systemic burnout that you cannot just "sleep off." This retreat is designed to provide the exact biological safety cues needed to finally turn that danger response off.

Within two weeks, I was sleeping through the night, the afternoon crashes were gone, and my head was clearer than it had been in months. The changes she suggested felt almost too simple. But they worked, fast.

Travel Logistics FAQs
-
Fly into Phnom Penh Techo International Airport (KTI) — this is the most straightforward route and the one your included transfer departs from.

Most nationalities can obtain a Cambodia e-Visa online in advance at evisa.gov.kh — it's a simple process and costs around $36 USD. We recommend applying at least 2 weeks before travel. If you're unsure whether you need one, we're happy to help you check.
-
Please don't worry. We ask for your flight details in advance and monitor arrivals. Your transfer will wait for you, and if anything changes we'll adapt. You will not arrive to confusion — someone will always be there.
-

-
Approximately 2 hours 20 minutes through beautiful Cambodian countryside. It's a genuinely lovely introduction to the country — flat, green, and peaceful.
-
Absolutely — many guests choose to explore Cambodia before or after. Just let us know your plans and we'll make sure your transfer timing works around you.
-
Travel insurance with comprehensive medical cover is not optional here — it is a condition of attending. We insist on it, warmly but firmly, because we care deeply about what happens to you beyond the boundaries of our villa. Cambodia is a beautiful and safe destination, but you are travelling internationally, and we would never want an unexpected situation to leave you vulnerable. Please arrange your policy before you make any travel bookings.
