We design wellness experiences that are inspired by you. 

Our purpose is to give women the break
they deserve, more often.

We’re on a mission to understand your wellness needs, and create exciting experiences that fulfil them.

Our retreats are grounded in thorough research and insights, designed to meet your current wellness needs. We offer limited-time experiences because we understand that wellness is constantly evolving. This approach allows us to collaborate with experts and local businesses to address your needs as they shift and grow.

Each Myland & Co retreat is designed to feel like a mini-holiday, leaving you refreshed and centred. With meticulous attention to detail, we create an environment where you feel relaxed and cared for. Then, we provide the tools to help integrate newly learned wellness practices into your daily life.

Please get in touch if you would like to join our Myland & Co. community research panel, or if you're a wellness business or practitioner interested in collaborating.
