retreats

welcome to the second instalment of ‘the retreat’ a gorgeously cosy, autumnal retreat day to nourish your mind, body and soul.
think warm blankets, candles, home-cooked food and a day focussed on you.
does this sound like you?
✔️ you’ve been running your business for years, and from the outside, it looks like you’ve got it all together but behind the scenes, you’re constantly spinning plates and never quite feel on top of things.
✔️ you’re always busy - replying to emails between meetings, juggling client work, and staying up late to “get ahead” yet it still feels like you’re falling behind.
✔️ you have big ideas and dreams for your business, but they keep getting buried under the daily to-do list.
✔️ you know you should prioritise your health and take time for yourself, but that keeps getting pushed to “someday.”
✔️ you want to feel more present, more energised, and more in control but you’re not sure where to start.
if any of this sounds familiar, it’s time to stop running on empty. You deserve space to rest, reflect, and create a business (and life) that works for you
