I booked Fiona’s retreat months ago, not realising how much I’d need it. After months of non-stop work, I arrived exhausted, but the moment I turned up the little cobbled lane, I felt an instant calm. Fiona greeted me with her usual bright, warm energy and showed me to the most beautiful room overlooking the autumn countryside. I spent the first day just sleeping. No pressure, no expectations, just space to be. Over the weekend I had the most relaxing massage, a powerful meditation, a blissful sound bath, and the chance to truly switch off. We laughed in the hot tub, shared stories, and ended with a beautiful “letting go” ceremony. I left feeling rested, balanced, and more myself than I had in months. Fiona has such a gift for creating a safe, nurturing space where you can heal, rest, and reset. It was pure magic,  I can’t wait for the next one.

It is probably fair to say that for most of us, practising self care and putting ourselves first is not a priority. We spend a lot of time ensuring our clients are well looked after and then returning home to catch up with our own families. If you want to feel nurtured, relax in beautiful surroundings, eat amazing food and return home emotionally and physically recharged, then Fiona's retreat is for you. You can take part in as much or as little as you want and that is the beauty of it; it really is all about what you want! My body loved the yoga,Reiki and reflexology and my mind benefitted from switching off from the stresses of everyday life and trying some new therapies and connecting with a great group of women. I have started saving for the next one!!

I am not someone who sees retreats or even staying with a group of people I hardly know as relaxing so when I mentioned to Fiona that I could do with a total getaway from everything and she told me about her retreat I must admit I was a little dubious.
I needn’t have worried, the location was wonderful, everyone was welcoming, the food provided by Hollie was AMAZING (restaurant quality) There were lots of alternative therapies and activities for people to enjoy but there was also no judgment at all towards those who did not want to take part. It was a genuinely great way to recharge my battery, catch up on some work, relax and make some new friends.  

Taking a few days away to pause, reflect, and refill my cup. This retreat reminded me that slowing down is part of growth. As a mum, a wife, and someone who supports new mums, protecting my own calm and clarity is essential. Stepping back gave me space to reconnect with my purpose, realign my energy, and focus on manifesting what’s next -  both personally and professionally.
Huge thanks to Fiona for holding such a nurturing space.
Exciting things coming in 2026 - new projects, fresh energy, and lots of heart-led work ahead.
