Autoimmune Wellness Retreat in the French Countryside
Whether you’re in a full-on flare, or have been living (as best you can) with chronic illness for years,
come and spend a week with AIP Coaches
in the South of France. A Restoration Break will set you up to re-discover auto-immune wellness.
La Goose, Cros (FRANCE)
Venez apprendre à mettre votre bien-être
-- (malgré votre maladie auto-immune) --
en haut de votre liste de priorités.
Today more than ever,
the state of your health matters!
My name is Jan Steele, and I am the owner and operator of La Goose — a 100% gluten-free Bed & Breakfast in the South of France. As a trained chef and lifelong Celiac, it will be my pleasure to welcome you to the South of France and ensure that your dietary needs are met.
Each year, I partner with other AIP Certified Coaches, each with her own area of expertise. Together, we guide you through at least FIVE FULL DAYS of the CORE AIP diet, as well as a wide variety of preventative habits and actions that promise to make auto-immune wellness more possible for you.
In 2026, retreats will run in April, May, and August, and each retreat spotlights the skills and expertise of a different AIP Certified Coach co-host. Be sure to choose the offering that best suits your needs.
Small Steps to Self Care
with BECCA BENNING
If you are looking for highly individualized support
in finding the path that will take you from
where you are now… to where you would rather be, then this is the retreat for you.
Small steps are really the only way to begin a journey. Come and learn to identify
the ones that will work best for you.
Joyful, Active AIP
with JAMIE NICOLE
Are you looking for a joyous holiday, that is also an investment in your health ?
Come and join a truly diverse community of women. Together, we’ll re-connect with nature, share experiences, move our body for fun
(as much as for fitness), relax via massage and infra-red saunas, and simply benefit from a core AIP « re-boot ».
Jamie and I will do the work to ensure that you’re following the protocol. You just come and enjoy yourself in a supportive and multi-cultural group.
What does a Restoration Break include?
6 nights
…in a comfortable B&B bedroom with bathroom and shower.
Options exist for sharing rooms or having your own space.
Movement opportunities
…naturally, from walking to yoga.
The goal is to encourage
lymph circulation and optimize detoxification.
All meals
…100% elimination-phase compliant,
and prepared by a trained chef.
Relevant workshops & wellness sessions
Wellness sessions like massage and
infra-red sauna, as well as a programme of activities planned by one of my excellent co-hosts.
Unlimited access to the yard
…and its seating areas, hammocks, chickens, donkeys…
Cooking classes
…so you can organize your kitchen
and continue to adhere to the protocol,
even once you’ve headed back home.
Accommodation
Come and reconnect… to your own body’s needs, to others, and to the natural world. Our Bed & Breakfast is situated in the South of France, at the very end of a small town called Cros.
You will be assigned a single bed within a comfortable shared bedroom / bathroom for 3 or 4 participants. Meals are served outside, under the pergola.
On our property, a small creek flows among hammocks and benches. Chickens run free in the garden all day, and from across the creek, our donkeys will call to you with a friendly “hee-haw”. Forest walks abound, as do spots by the river to wade, re-ground, or just reconnect to the natural world.
Meals
Your “chef de table” and cooking instructor is Jan Steele. Owner of the B&B, Jan has lived in the region for several years already, and takes great pride in sourcing local regional products to ensure maximum nutrient-density and flavour.
A graduate of the Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts as well as the Nutritional Therapy Association, Jan is an AIP Certified Coach and lifelong Celiac. She is well-versed in the Auto-Immune Protocol and will provide 100% core AIP-compliant meals.
