Nicole Daboul
A curator of transformative wellness experiences and part of the creative team bringing We Are Reset Retreats to life, Nicole draws on two decades as a design leader alongside her work as a mindfulness meditation teacher, spiritual mentor, and somatic guide. She is devoted to helping people recover from burnout, reclaim their softness in a hard world, and remember their inherent worth. Her retreats weave beauty, intention, and emotional spaciousness into every detail – inviting guests to arrive, exhale, and reconnect with what truly matters.Why Italy?
For Nicole, Italy is the embodiment of presence. It’s where time stretches, every meal is a devotion, and beauty lives in the smallest details. It’s a place that teaches you to slow down, savour, and live inside a love letter to life.

Dean is our resident fitness expert (nay, fanatic), adventure planner, and bringer of good vibes. Equal parts mountain goat and social butterfly, he’s happiest leading a sunrise workout, scouting the perfect hike, or rallying the group for a spontaneous aperitivo. With a knack for turning strangers into friends and trips into unforgettable stories, Dean makes sure every Reset Retreat has as much laughter as it does movement.
Why Italy? Dean obviously loves Italy — the food, the views, the wine, the workouts to offset the wine — but let’s be honest: he’s mostly here because Melinda and Nicole told him this was the plan. And Dean’s a smart man ;-)
“Italy feels like home for us – a place where every meal is exquisite, even the humble house wine exceeds expectation. It’s long lunches that stretch into golden evenings, a rhythm of life that invites you to slow down, savor, and truly connect. We can’t wait to share that magic with you.”
Welcome to wellness, redefined.
Reset Retreats are immersive, luxury wellness experiences designed to help you press pause – intentionally. We offer more than just a vacation. This is travel as a transformational practice, curated by a collective of facilitators who’ve walked the high-achieving path, burned out, and chosen a different way.
Reset Retreats was founded by Dean, a pioneer of wellness retreats in Europe and the UK, with the belief that true transformation happens when we step away from the noise of our everyday lives. Each retreat is carefully designed to create space for renewal – balancing movement, rest, culture, and connection.
By bringing together a handpicked collective of yoga teachers, mindfulness guides, chefs, and local experts, Reset Retreats offers more than just a getaway – it’s an immersive journey into new ways of living. From breathtaking landscapes to soul-nourishing meals and intentional daily practices, every detail is crafted to help guests reconnect with themselves, each other, and the beauty of the present moment.
