What Sets Us Apart?
- PhysEQFiT Guesthouse is centrally located in Centurion, making it the perfect destination for a rejuvenating breakaway—without the need for long-distance travel.
- While retreats in remote locations can be incredibly appealing, the real challenge often arises once attendees return home and re-enter the demands of daily life. The initial inspiration fades, and little lasting change occurs. Our setting offers a tranquil, restorative atmosphere within the city—an environment that more closely mirrors your everyday reality, allowing for more meaningful and sustainable integration.
- Many retreats focus on luxury and cater primarily to a select few. We believe that wellbeing should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we’ve intentionally designed our retreat experience to be inclusive and affordable, without compromising on quality or impact.
- Our core focus is on sustainable transformation—equipping you with practical tools, proven strategies, and actionable insights that you can seamlessly apply in your daily life long after the retreat ends. We offer much more than pure relaxation.
- Our team brings over a decade of experience in the corporate wellness space and is currently advancing their expertise through a globally recognised Master’s degree in Happiness Studies (Science of Wellbeing). We attended an international study block in Rio de Janeiro where we were taught the science behind presenting transformational retreats on a global scale. We participated in the International Happiness Summit in Brazil, we’ve learned from leading global experts. We bring this depth of knowledge and experience back to deliver maximum value to YOU.

More About Ronel Jooste
My journey started with a successful career as a Chartered Accountant in a senior leadership position in the corporate world—one that ultimately led to burnout. Walking away from that chapter was a defining moment. I knew I never wanted to experience that again, and more importantly, I wanted to help others avoid the same path.
A decade later and I am living my dream: owning 5 businesses across diverse industries while pursuing a masters’ degree in Happiness Studies (Science of Wellbeing) BUT now I am living a balanced, fulfilled, and meaningful life.
I had to define what happiness means to me; obtain clarity on my vision for my life and my businesses; and discover my purpose.
I had to consistently apply various habits and interventions to utilise my time and energy more productively to create more time to do the things that I love: running; traveling; spending quality time with my partner, family and friends; go on holiday; reading; studying; exploring…
My mission is to co-create happier, healthier and wealthier individuals, families, organizations and communities. I am looking forward to journey with you!
More About Dr Marli Jooste
My journey started in the corporate world, driven to climb the ladder of success. Yet, I soon realized that achievement without value alignment left me unfulfilled. That turning point led me to re-evaluate my purpose and dedicate myself to health psychology—a discipline that embraces holistic wellbeing and whole-being, rather than focusing only on illness.
From my first degree through to my PhD, this passion has guided my path. For over 15 years, I have lived it out in private practice, supporting individuals and organizations in cultivating healthier, more aligned, and harmonious lives. And still, I remain a student of life—curious, evolving, and committed to growth.
Today, my mission is to co-create psychologically safe spaces where people reconnect with themselves, rediscover alignment, and embrace wellbeing and whole-being in its fullest sense. Retreats offer that sacred pause, and I look forward to journeying with you.
