THE HELD WOMB
5 Day One-to-One Healing Retreat in the Mountains of Spain
A private, hands-on bodywork immersion that supports the body to open, release, and integrate. Held through touch, presence, and ceremony.
Request To Reserve
These healing retreats for women are held in the mountains of Andalusia, Spain.
A sacred, off-grid sanctuary to return to your womb’s wisdom, release inherited pain, and reclaim your body’s innate power.
Held in raw nature, one-to-one, with nourishing meals, ceremony, and healing hands-on bodywork.
This is a deeply intimate, immersive space for the woman ready to experience real change in her body.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This container is for the woman who is ready to go deeper with her healing, to be held, and met with tenderness and nurturing presence:
— In devotion to her healing, body mind and soul
— To experience real, tangible shifts in how she feels
— Fertility preparation or womb reconnection
— Postpartum healing (including years after birth)
— After a stillbirth, pregnancy loss or abortion
— Gaining closure or clarity in a big life transition or challenge
— Healing from years of contraception use, medication or surgery
— A space to come back to her centre and restore inner balance
— Rest in nature, away from the busyness of life
— To go back home with a different feeling in her body
THE BODYWORK
At the heart of this retreat is hands-on pelvic and abdominal bodywork.
Through Mizan Therapy and traditional reproductive healing techniques, we work on:
✤ Menstrual imbalances, pain, or irregular cycle
✤ Held emotional trauma in the womb space
✤ Stored tension, adhesion or scar tissue in the pelvis and belly
✤ Nervous system contraction and breath holding patterns
✤ Disconnection from sensation or pleasure
✤ Body-Womb-Mind coherency
✤ Deeply nourishing, replenishing and hydrating the body
This is not surface-level relaxation.
This is the body being met, listened to, and supported to release.
THE CEREMONY
You will be held in a Closing of the Bones Ritual, a traditional ceremonial bodywork that supports women through times of transition and completion in their lives.
◈ Through warmth, massage, herbal steam, and the wrapping of the body with rebozo shawls, the ceremony helps release what has been held physically and emotionally, bringing a sense of grounding, integration, and closure to a life chapter.
◈ While it’s often received after birth, it can also be deeply supportive after experiences such as loss, big life changes, rites of passage, or any moment when a woman feels the need to be held and gain ceremonial closure.
This work cannot be fully experienced online.
The depth of touch, presence, and physical holding creates a level of safety and release that only happens in person.

MEALS
Nourishment is a fundamental pillar of this retreat. For healing to take place we must be nourished deeply with the right nutrient dense foods.
All meals are prepared with love and intention by our retreat chef, with a focus on womb warming, seasonal, mineral rich, organic ingredients.
Expect fresh fruits and vegetables, stews, bone broths, fish and eggs. We do not cook with dairy and can accommodate for specific dietary requirements if need be.

TESTIMONIALS
Michelle Van Den Berg -14/4/2026
"My entire life I've had struggles with my cycle as well as traumas relating to my womb. Paloma held me through her healing work with the delicate care and sensitivity that I was needing.
Laura Ley - 7/11/2025
"Wow. An unforgettable experience.
From the amazing massage, to the powerful ceremony and time spent in nature. I felt immediately welcome and comfortable.
The space was serene, and sleeping in the tent was much more enjoyable and cosy than I could have imagined. I’m glad I decided to go for it.
Paloma made me feel so safe and held. I could finally let go of all the crap I was carrying in my body and my womb. So much was released. And for that I am forever grateful.
The food was delicious and beautifully presented everyday.
I only wish I had spent more time there. I hope to come back again."
Anna Thomann - 2/10/25
"This retreat was such a nurturing and grounding experience. I felt incredibly well tended to and guided by Paloma. She has a soft, yet powerful gift.
When receiving the bodywork, I felt my body soften for the first time in years.
The ceremony that was held with the rebozos, was nothing like I had ever experienced before. I was left without words.
The work that is done here is truly healing. I can’t recommend it enough! I feel in such deep gratitude to Paloma."
