Since 2006, Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat has been transforming the health and lives of people around the globe through their leading wellness retreats. Located in a stunning, purpose-built luxury retreat setting in Queensland, Gwinganna provides all you need to improve your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health, from nourishing cuisine to multi award-winning spa treatments to transformational workshops.
Always at the forefront of optimal wellness, in 2025 Gwinganna are relaunching a groundbreaking retreat called ‘Genes for Health’ led by integrative medical doctor Dr Karen Coates in July and November.
In this world-first retreat, Dr Coates will take you beyond one-size-fits-all advice, guiding you through the revolutionary science of epigenetics.
In preparation for the 7-day Genes for Health retreat, all guests take a simple and private DNA test. You then receive your own personal results on day one of the retreat, a roadmap of what’s happening with your genes. Dr Coates then delves into the science of epigenetics and provides personalised guidance on how you can shape your health and wellbeing through your gene expression now and into the future.
Epigenetics is a fascinating exploration of the link between your DNA and long-term wellbeing, allowing for personalised insights tailored to your body.
As well as receiving your detailed genetic blueprint, you will uncover how your body responds to fat metabolism, inflammation, detoxification, cholesterol, and vitamin D. This personalised information then allows you to make changes to help turn your genes on and off through diet, movement, and lifestyle—giving you the power to actively shape your healthspan and future vitality.
This is not a retreat where information stays theoretical. It’s personal, practical, and deeply transformational. Your DNA results will become a compass—showing you how to work with your body, not against it to work towards achieving optimal health and quality lifespan.
Alongside daily expert sessions, you’ll enjoy organic cuisine tailored to support optimal gene expression, healing spa therapies and immersive activities that restore balance on every level.
