We know you. Because we were you.

The woman who kept going when she had nothing left.

The woman that held everything together on the outside, while something quietly unravelled within.

The woman who was succeeding by every measure that was supposed to matter, and privately wondering why she felt so far from herself.

We didn't talk about it until we were through it.
Because we both felt like we were failing.

We weren't. And neither are you.

We believe

We believe that your body isn't failing you; it's asking for something different.

We believe that exhaustion isn't a personality trait, and that running on empty isn't strength.

We believe that real rest is a skill. That regulation is learnable. That the right environment, the right support and the right tools can change how a woman feels; not just for a weekend, but on a Monday morning.

We believe that luxury and healing aren't opposites.

And we believe that you deserve both.

Meet our founders

Meet Josie

Nutritional Therapist | Hormone, Gut & Nervous System Health

Josie spent over 12 years working as a Chief Stewardess on some of the world's most prestigious superyachts; delivering flawless luxury in some of the most demanding environments imaginable. She was brilliant at it. She was also, quietly, at war with her own body.

Chronic fatigue. Hormonal chaos. A gut that felt like it was constantly fighting her. She tried everything, and nothing worked; because nothing was addressing the root of it.

When she finally found what did, it changed everything. Josie retrained as a Nutritional Therapist, specialising in hormone health, gut health and nervous system regulation. She now understands, clinically and personally, how deeply these three systems are connected, and what it actually takes to bring them back into balance.

At JOLA, Josie brings that knowledge into every retreat. The nourishment is intentional. The food is carefully considered. The tools she shares are practical, evidence-based, and yours to keep.

Meet Laura

Wellness Coach | Mindfulness Practitioner | Sobriety Mentor

Laura spent years being the woman who held the room. Chief Stewardess, consummate professional, endlessly capable. She was the one people leant on; which meant that when she was struggling, there was nowhere to put it.

Her path to wellness wasn't linear. It was honest, and at times, hard. Laura transformed her own relationship with alcohol, her nervous system, and her sense of self, and in doing so, found her purpose. She founded the Sober Crew Social Club, a community for people in the yachting industry navigating sobriety, and trained as a Wellness Coach and Mindfulness Practitioner.

Laura knows what it is to rebuild a relationship with yourself from the ground up. She knows that it takes more than a bubble bath and an early night. And she knows how to hold space for women who are ready to do the real work, without it ever feeling like work.

At JOLA, Laura creates the container. The safety, the warmth, the pace.
She is the reason guests feel held from the moment they arrive.

Qualifications: Wellness Coach | Mindfulness Practitioner | Sobriety Mentor

Together we are JOLA

Two women. Two different roads to the same place.

We created what we couldn't find, a space that takes you seriously.
That meets you where you are.
That combines the highest standard of care with tools that create change you can actually feel.

Not a quick fix. Not an escape.

A return.

Created for you, by women like you.

If you're ready to stop just getting through it, we'd love to welcome you.

Your reset starts here
