5-day Nervous System & Holistic Reset
Return to yourself
A 5-day full system reset for body and mind. This retreat is more than a getaway. It is a carefully designed process to bring your system out of overstimulation and back into balance.
You want to slow down, feel more aligned, reconnect with yourself, and glow from the inside out in a way that feels natural to you. That’s exactly why we created The Rheia Method.
The RHEIA Method is our signature 5-day process for restoring balance through the nervous system, the body, and awareness.
It is not about doing more or trying harder. It is about creating the conditions for your system to regulate, release, and reconnect naturally. Real change happens when the body feels safe enough to soften, the mind can slow down, and balance can return from within.
Through regulation, nourishment, embodiment, integration, and alignment, you move through one connected process designed to restore balance in your system. Not as separate techniques, but as one connected process that supports your system as a whole.
The place you’ll
call home for five days
Designed for slowing down.
Nestled within the protected natural landscape of the Ria Formosa in the Algarve, Quinta Pinheiro is a place designed for slowing down.
With pine trees, nature and the ocean nearby, there is a rare sense of space, stillness and privacy. Where the everyday noise fades away and you can truly return to yourself.
A softer rhythm.
Known for its year-round sunshine, rugged coastline and slower pace of life, the Algarve has long been a destination for restoration.
Yet beyond the beaches and postcard views lies something deeper: a feeling.
A sense of calm and a softer rhythm that gently invites you to slow down, creating the feeling that time moves differently here. For five days, this tranquil atmosphere becomes the backdrop to your experience.
Luxury without excess.
Originally a traditional Portuguese quinta, the estate has been thoughtfully restored while preserving its authentic character and timeless charm.
Natural textures, warm interiors and elegant simplicity come together to create an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and grounding, where every space has been designed with care and intention.
Designed for rest.
Designed with natural materials, warm textures and understated elegance, each room offers a peaceful space to slow down and recharge.
Quinta do Pinheiro is home to 13 unique rooms, most with a double bed. For guests attending together, two rooms can be configured with twin single beds, making them perfect for friends, sisters or mothers sharing the experience.
Almost every room has a private ensuite bathroom. Two rooms share a spacious bathroom, ideal for those choosing to stay together.

Five days with intention
This retreat is guided by The RHEIA Method. A carefully designed process that supports the body, mind and nervous system as one connected system.
Over five days, the experience unfolds in a natural rhythm, each day carrying its own intention. You are gently guided through the phases of regulation, nourishment, embodiment, integration and alignment.
Rather than separate practices, everything is intentionally woven into one connected journey. Each element builds on the next, supporting the nervous system while also addressing the body at a deeper level. Including digestion, hormonal balance, energy regulation and the foundations of overall wellbeing.
Through this combination of nervous system work and orthomolecular support, the focus is not only on relaxation, but on creating the internal conditions for the body to function more efficiently and restore its natural balance.
This is a space to slow down, soften, and come back to yourself. Supported from the inside out.

Everything you may want to know
A calm overview of what to expect before joining Rheia. From who this retreat is for to what is included, how the days flow and how the experience supports you after returning home.
Who is this retreat for?
Rheia is created for the ambitious woman who gives a lot, carries a lot, and is ready to create space for herself.
This retreat is for you if your life looks good on the outside, but you feel a quiet desire to slow down, reconnect, and come back to yourself. If you are constantly moving, creating, achieving, or caring for others, yet rarely take the time to truly rest and recharge, Rheia offers the space to pause.
You don’t need to be burnt out or at a breaking point to join. This retreat is for anyone who feels called to restore their energy, nourish their body, calm their nervous system, and reconnect with what they truly need.
Whether you come seeking deeper rest, more balance, a renewed sense of clarity, or simply time for yourself, Rheia is the perfect space to slow down, receive, and return home feeling more grounded and connected to yourself.
What type of transformation can I expect from the retreat?
You will leave with more than a feeling of relaxation. You will leave with a deeper connection to yourself, a clearer sense of what you need, and a renewed trust in your own inner wisdom.
Rheia is a space to step away from the noise of everyday life and remember what it feels like to slow down, breathe, and truly listen. Through nourishing food, mindful movement, restorative practices, and moments of stillness, you create the space to reconnect with your body, your energy, and what matters most.
When you return home, your life will still be there. The responsibilities, the routines, and the to-do lists, but you may notice that something has shifted. You feel more present, you respond instead of constantly reacting, and you move through your days with more calm, clarity, and intention.
You will leave with tools and practices that support you long after the retreat ends. A deeper understanding of what your body needs. A renewed sense of balance. And the reminder that taking care of yourself is not something to earn. It is something you deserve.
Do I need any experience in meditation, breathwork and yoga?
Not at all. Our retreat is designed for every level, whether you are completely new to yoga, breathwork, and meditation or have an existing practice.
Every session is guided with care, and you are always encouraged to move at your own pace and listen to your body. This is a space to reconnect with yourself. Not to perform or get anything right. You just need to arrive and show up for yourself.
Can I come on my own?
Absolutely. Many of our guests come on their own, and in fact, it is one of the most rewarding ways to experience a retreat.
Rheia is designed to be a warm, welcoming space where it is easy to connect with like-minded people while also enjoying time for yourself. Whether you are looking for meaningful conversations, quiet moments of reflection, or a balance of both, you will feel supported from the moment you arrive.
What does a typical day look like at Rheia?
A typical day at Rheia is designed to bring you back into balance. Combining movement, nourishment, rest, and moments of connection.
Your mornings begin slowly, with practices to help you reconnect with your body and set the intention for the day ahead. This may include meditation, breathwork, or a mindful yoga practice, followed by a nourishing breakfast made with wholefood ingredients.
During the day, you’ll have space to explore, relax, and restore. Depending on the schedule, this may include workshops, holistic practices, time in nature, restorative treatments, or simply moments in nature with a good book. There is no pressure of constantly doing. This retreat is an invitation to slow down and listen to what your body needs.
Afternoons and evenings are a time to unwind and connect. Enjoy nourishing meals, meaningful conversations, gentle movement, and calming rituals designed to support deep rest and relaxation.
While each day has a thoughtful flow, there is also plenty of spaciousness. Rheia is not about filling your schedule. It is about creating the space to breathe, reconnect, and truly be present.

Which airport should I fly into?
The closest airport is Faro Airport (FAO). From there, Quinta do Pinheiro is approximately a 30-minute drive.
We recommend taking a taxi or hiring a car. We can also organise this for you at an additional cost. Please let us know after booking.
Is this retreat suitable if I’m feeling overwhelmed or simply need a reset?
Absolutely. Rheia is designed for women who feel the need to pause, whether you are feeling overwhelmed, overstimulated, or simply craving time to slow down and reconnect with yourself.
You don’t need to wait until you feel exhausted or burnt out to prioritise your wellbeing. This retreat is an opportunity to step away from the constant demands of everyday life and create space for rest, nourishment, and reflection.
Through mindful movement, nervous system practices, nourishing meals, and time in a supportive environment, Rheia helps you return to yourself feeling more grounded, balanced, and restored.
Sometimes the most meaningful reset happens before you reach your limit. It begins with choosing to take care of yourself.
Will I have free time during the retreat?
Absolutely. Creating space is at the heart of the Rheia experience.
While the retreat includes thoughtfully curated practices, workshops, and nourishing experiences, there is also plenty of time for you to simply be. You’ll have moments to relax by the pool, explore the surroundings, spend time in nature, enjoy a treatment, read a book, journal, or rest whenever your body calls for it.
How can I continue the practices after returning home?
The intention of Rheia is not for the transformation to end when you leave the retreat. It is about creating practices and awareness that you can carry with you into your everyday life.
Throughout the retreat, you’ll be introduced to tools that support your wellbeing long after you return home. From mindful movement and breathwork to nervous system practices, nourishing habits, and moments of reflection.
The goal is not to create another list of things you have to do, but to help you discover simple rituals that feel supportive and sustainable for your lifestyle.
You’ll return home with a deeper understanding of what your body needs, practices to help you reconnect with yourself, and the awareness to create more moments of calm, balance, and nourishment in your daily life.
