Life-Turnaround Programme

A complete private guided retreat

for stressed professionals

Refer a team member experiencing difficulties or major life events.

Mental health has never been so valued or understood. If your HR department is proactively looking to support a colleague juggling the stresses and strains and changes in their work, life, relationships, finances or health,
we’re here to help.


Giving a colleague the gift of a week-long retreat is often considerably more cost-effective than a potentially lengthy and expensive sickness absence that becomes difficult to resolve.


Yes, it is a more in-depth treatment than a typical hour-a-week approach offered by many employers. But it is a proven winner, giving people the crucial space to step away from the causes of acute mental health difficulties and the strength to recover their balance.

Company Referral

If you’d like to talk about making a reservation for a colleague or peer who is suffering from mental health challenges, contact Melinda for a confidential discussion. Her specialist expertise will guide you on the best approach and provide full details of the recommended retreat duration and cost.

Self-Referral and Consultation

If you can feel life becoming too much, you are always welcome to self-refer to one of our VIP guided retreats. Each visit is carefully tailored to your specific needs. Contact Melinda Beckett-Hughes for a confidential, no obligation consultation covering everything from your feelings and symptoms through to practicalities like travel, accommodation and dietary requirements.

Treatment Programme

After your initial conversation, Melinda will personally design a programme that takes into account the specific circumstances of either yourself (for self-referrals) or your colleague (for company referrals). Specialists such as PTSD counsellors and career and relationship advisors will also provide valuable input.


Once the programme is confirmed, simply agree a start date and make your way to Ayuda Retreats. Melinda will greet each guest personally and help you to settle in with a full orientation.


If you are making a company referral, you will be informed about the progress of your employee on a strictly
confidential basis.
