As we head into the new year, wellness is most certainly on the mind. In 2017 Dervla Louli launched Compare Retreats as a solution to the lack of transparent information about wellness retreats online.

We sat down with Dervla to find out what inspired her to launch the business and to hear a bit more about some of the best eco-wellness retreats.

We're launching a new series of pieces written by one of Hong Kong's favourite midwives Aliza Carr from Bump n Bub. For the first piece she is revealing the ways you can prepare for labour.

To celebrate Christmas, we hosted a crafting workshop with My Hong Kong ABC at our studio in Wong Chuk Hang. Little ones had the opportunity to make their own festive decorations and Christmas cards.

Alia Eyres left her corporate law career to join Mother’s Choice as CEO seven years ago in the hopes of continuing the work her family started for vulnerable women and children in the 80’s. We caught up with Alia to see how they are impacting the lives of not just the women and children they look after but also the wider community in Hong Kong.

It also happens to be a season of increased waste and excess so we wanted to pull together some quick tips that will help you be a little more green this festive season.

We recently had the pleasure of meeting with Midwife Aliza Carr from Bumpnbub.

At Retykle we are always looking for ways to empower our readers and audiences so we sat down with Aliza to hear all about her top tips for preparing for a new baby as well as what inspired her to launch Bumpnbub.

The Christmas countdown is on! In the spirit of giving back this Christmas, we spoke with Sian Taylor, Director of Box of Hope, a fantastic local organisation here in Hong Kong that provides useful and educational gifts to underprivileged children in Asia during Christmas.
