The Midlife BLISS Immersion is a private 1:1 coaching retreat for women in midlife, hosted at our homestead in Setúbal, Portugal, 40 minutes from Lisbon International Airport.
Designed and led by Luciana Moraes, Certified Master Life, Transformation & Mindset Coach, Yoga and Meditation teacher, Nutrition Educator, and creator of the B.L.I.S.S.™ Framework, each immersion is built entirely around one woman, her story, and what comes next.
One woman at a time. One private cottage. Three days of complete attention, care, and transformation.
You have done everything right.
The career. The family. The responsibilities. You have shown up for everyone and everything. And now you have decided it is time to show up for yourself.
Maybe you are at a turning point. Maybe a chapter is closing and a new one is opening. You are not in crisis. You are simply ready to live a life that feels like your own again.
This is the moment to pause. To step away from the noise. To come to Portugal, and remember who you are.
This immersion is for you if:
- You are a woman in midlife at a real turning point, a new chapter opening after a career, a role, or a season that has run its course. And you have decided it is time to put yourself first.
- You crave dedicated, uninterrupted time for yourself, away from the demands of everyone else.
- You want more than a holiday. You want to come home to yourself.
- You are ready to get clear on what you want, and leave with the tools to go after it.
A Glimpse at Your Immersion
You will wake to the sound of birds at the homestead, a private property surrounded by nature in the Setúbal region, one of Portugal’s most beautiful and overlooked corners, just 40 minutes from Lisbon.
Your mornings begin gently. A cup of tea or coffee on your private porch. The warmth of the Portuguese sun. A gentle yoga practice by the saltwater swimming pool, designed for your body and your nervous system.
Then we work. Not in the way you are used to working. This is not a to-do list or a performance. It is a conversation. A B.L.I.S.S.™ coaching session designed entirely around you: where you are, what you are carrying, and where you want to go. Each session is different. Each one moves you forward.
Your days include home-cooked plant-based meals made from organic produce, some of it grown right here in the garden. We will shop together at the Setúbal Market, one of the most beautiful markets in Portugal, with its hand-painted tiles and abundant fresh produce. We cook together. We eat together. We talk.
In the afternoons, there is space to read, to walk, to swim, to sit in stillness. And when you are ready, we go deeper.
By the time you leave, you will not feel the same. You will feel more like yourself than you have in years.
Must love cats. Three of them roam freely around the property.

And If You Want to Stay Longer…
Setúbal is one of Portugal’s most extraordinary regions, and most visitors never find it. If you would like to extend your time after your immersion, I am happy to help you plan the rest of your trip.
- Explore the breathtaking beaches of the Arrábida Natural Park, some of the most beautiful in Europe.
- Discover local wine tastings in one of Portugal’s most important wine regions.
- Try a hand-painted tile workshop in the local tradition.
- Walk the trails of the Arrábida hills at sunrise.
Just ask. I know this region well, and I love sharing it.
How to Book Your Immersion
I open four private immersion spots each month at the homestead, from March through October.
Your private cottage. No roommates. No agenda but yours.
Step 1 — We Talk: Book a free 30-minute BLISS Clarity Session. You tell me what is keeping you up at 3am. I listen. We decide together which experience is right for you.
Step 2 — You Choose Your Dates: Once we confirm the fit, you choose your dates. A deposit secures your cottage.
Step 3 — You Arrive: Your room is ready. The smoothies are made. And for three days, there is nothing on the agenda but you.
There is no perfect moment to start. There is only now.
We made this a place of restoration, for ourselves, and for women like you.
I have lived across five countries, rebuilt my identity more than once, and walked through the exact turning point you may be at right now. I know what it costs to keep going without stopping. I know what it feels like to finally stop.
Come to Portugal. Let me hold the space for your next chapter.
With love and steady flow,
