The people around you are either your circle or your cage..
Let me show you what finding your circle feels like.
Don’t just exist. Discover a new version of yourself.
I started hosting retreats back In 2013 after having a list of places I wanted to visit but no-one to visit them with. I shared a post on Instagram asking if anyone wanted to join me in adventuring the world. 15 direct messages later and the trip was booked, it was one of those ‘is this really real’ moments where a group of strangers because friends and we’ve continued adventuring ever since.
That trip sparked more trips, reaching the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, trekking the Inca Trail, conquering the 4 peaks of our Indonesia Volcano Trek, Learning to salsa in Cuba, Surf in Portugal, make wine in France, all while eating delicious food and being kind to our bodies with daily movement and self discovery workshops.
My first ever surf retreat was in Costa Rica and now it’s the place that our family is currently calling home,. There is a magic here like no other and I am just buzzing that I get to welcome you here to experience it for yourself. Take a look at my retreat offerings below and unlock a new version of you.

Planning retreats can be tricky and so if you could share with me where you would love to visit, the time of year that you are most likely to be available and if you would prefer to attend a retreat alone, as a couple of with your family it helps me to create the perfect escape for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a certain fitness level?
Each Retreat is unique but they’re all based around getting you to fall in love with yourself and realizing your potential. Everything is adapted no matter your fitness levels, experience, ability, gender. disability or age and the meals provided are glorious, there’s no skipping calories or restricting, we eat and fall in love with new recipes.
Which retreat is best for me?
I host three types of Retreats, both are suitable for everyone but are very different In style. My ‘Retreats’ are focused around you. I am your coach, mentor and friend. We live together as a big family in a villa and I take care of all of your needs but my primary focus is to make you fall in love with yourself, move your body and have fun. My ‘Challenge Retreats’ are based around us being a team, we conquer something together such as climbing MT Kilimanjaro, the Inca Trail, I am very much on the journey with you and spend time before the Challenge giving you all the tips and tools to feel your best to complete the challenge.
My day retreats are the perfect taster session, a chance to see what happens in longer retreats condensed into one day, workshops, movement, food, fun and treats, its a great way to experience a retreat without needing to take time off.
Can I come on my own?
90% of people who attend my retreats attend solo and in most cases it’s their first ever solo trip. I also have friends and mothers and daughters, sisters. Don’t let the idea of coming alone put you off. It genuinely makes for a better experience as you’re putting yourself out there and can really discover yourself, not to mention make lifelong friends.
