Release. Rewire.
Remember who you truly are.
This isn’t just a retreat, it’s a deep remembering.
A full-body exhale. A homecoming to yourself.
Welcome to Deep Reset & Restore, an integrative hypnotherapy and wellness retreat where you’ll reconnect with your body, reclaim your calm, and return to your natural state of balance and vitality.
Over seven restorative days in Zanzibar, you’ll step away from the noise of everyday life and gently uncover the survival patterns — the four Fs, fight, flight, freeze, and fawn — that keep your nervous system on high alert, frozen in inertia or a painful cycle between the two.
Hypnotherapy is a potent tool for releasing and rewiring stress and trauma responses, especially when those responses feel automatic, overwhelming, or out of proportion to the situation.
What you will leave with
Through a powerful blend of group and individual hypnotherapy sessions, yoga, breathwork, massage, and an introduction to the healing powers of homeopathy, you’ll be guided to release deeply held tension, reconnect with your natural rhythm and innate life-force, and expand your capacity for calm, joy, and presence.

Hypnotherapy: Rewiring from Within
Zoe Clews
Clinical Hypnotherapist
Guided by Zoe Clews, one of the UK’s most respected and sought-after clinical hypnotherapists, this retreat offers a rare opportunity to experience profound inner transformation in the hands of a true expert.
With over 23 years’ experience working with complex trauma, anxiety, depression, and emotional wellbeing, Zoe has helped thousands of people release the subconscious imprints that keep them trapped in cycles of survival. Named one of the Evening Standard’s Top Ten London Hypnotherapists and founder of Zoe Clews & Associates, London’s leading hypnotherapy, coaching and therapy clinic, she brings deep compassion, warmth, forensic clarity, and clinical precision to her work.
Hypnotherapy at the Retreat
During the Reset & Regulation Retreat, Zoe will guide you through a powerful hypnotherapeutic journey to gently unravel the patterns of fight, flight, freeze, and fawn that shape your responses to stress and emotional triggers.
These protective states were once essential for your safety, but when they become your default, they can keep you stuck in chronic loops of anxiety, depression, disconnection, apathy, exhaustion, people pleasing and feelings of powerlessness.
Through her expert guidance, you’ll access the subconscious mind, the place where these patterns were formed and begin to reprogram the old emotional codes that drive them. You’ll release deeply held fear, negative self belief, cognitive distortions, clear emotional residue from past experiences, experience a deep energetic freeing from dysfunctional and toxic systems (family, generational, ancestral, societal and global), build new neural pathways of calm, confidence, and connection and connect with your True Self Blueprint for renewed clarity and activated purpose.
This is not simply relaxation; it’s a deep and potent rewiring of your emotional landscape.
You’ll leave with a lighter heart, a calmer nervous system, and a renewed sense of inner power and peace.
WHAT ELSE IS INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKAGE?
Yoga: Vin to Yin
Classes are a mix of vinyasa and yin yoga — vin to yin. Practice begins with the steady flow of vinyasa to build heat and focus, then shifts into the quiet holds of yin to release tension and support the nervous system.
Massage: Restoring Flow and Ease
Our qualified massage therapist applies therapeutic massage techniques targeting stress-related conditions, chronic pain, injury recovery, muscle dysfunction, and postural problems.
Homeopathy: Subtle Support for Deep Healing
A group session with a homeopath who will introduce this holistic healing approach, established in the 18th century. Homeopathy is a system of alternative medicine used safely by over 200 million people worldwide. It works by using diluted natural substances to stimulate the body’s own ability to heal.
Homeopaths recognise the deep connection between mind, body and spirit, understanding that emotional imbalances—such as stress, anxiety, or grief—can often show up as physical symptoms. By addressing emotional issues at their root, homeopathy supports gentle and effective healing on both emotional and physical levels.
Free Time: Time to have Fun, Explore or Simply Reflect
It’s not all inner work — there’s also time to explore beautiful Zanzibar. Think sunrise and sunset swims, freshwater caves, paddle boarding through mangroves at dusk, or simply a coffee on white sand, watching the turquoise ocean — and yes, it really is turquoise — ebb and flow.
