Join us on an unhurried journey…
…it can seem these days that time is a luxury. Join us and take time to step through a curtain and arrive on the other side in a beautiful luxurious house by Loch Tay in beautiful Perthshire where you can rest & relax in beautiful luxurious surroundings and be nourished and nurtured.

This is YOUR time to REST!
I created this retreat for women like you….
Many years ago I was exhausted, tests showed I was in adrenal fatigue and the advice was to radically change my life style or risk chronic fatigue or other health conditions. I was already working in health & wellbeing, it was a surprise to me that I wasn’t actually looking after myself and my energy as well as I thought I was.
This was a beginning of my rest journey. An exploration into how to rest.
Resting, surely that should be the easiest thing in the world?
Well potentially yes but … sometimes the habit of being busy, always switched on, constantly reacting to life is so strong that rest feels elusive. We sit down to rest but before we know it we unconsciously reaching for our phone or watching something on TV that is far from restful or our mind is racing and constantly turning over the events of the day or worrying about a life challenge or difficulty. Our nervous system may be in ‘fight or flight’ so when we rest it can feel challenging. Are we actually resting?
For me I found resting at home particularly challenging as a business owner and mum of two, home was a place where there was always something to be done. I’d try to meditate aware there was a pile of ironing to be done or it was time to get dinner on.
Then there is the messaging and beliefs we’ve picked up about rest and self care. I often felt guilty if I wasn’t doing something and trying to rest when thinking you really shouldn’t be isn’t ideal.
One of the places I was able to find deep rest and retrain my strung out nervous system was on retreat. To have some time completely removed from my day to day, where I didn’t have to plan dinner and the only ‘work’ to be done was to rest and allow and heal was a game changer for me.
The other life changing thing I discovered on retreat is although being still can be challenging, and indeed sometimes we use life to distract us from our truth, when we can learn to sit with ourselves without the constant distractions, if we can come to stillness the answers we seek become louder, we tune into our intuition and the way forward more easily makes itself known.
That experience, and all I learned from it together with all the knowledge I have gained in training in many healing modalities over the years I want to share with you. I’ve allowed myself to rest, to explore different ways of resting, in nature, on retreat, with various tools & techniques. I’ve developed an intimate experience of stillness and silence beyond the noise of the world and I want to share my insights and experiences with you. I want you to feel well rested too and to see you in the joy of living your life from a well rested place. I want you to meet your well rested woman.
““The best thing you can do for yourself is book this retreat! You’ll be getting to know yourself again in a beautiful supportive environment and leave feeling whole again. 10/10 recommend!””
It’s your time
Now it’s your time to step into your rest journey. To gift yourself time out just for you. To put down your responsibilities for a while and learn a new way of being. Learning to live life from a well rested place!
This is for you if…
You’ve been feeling tired
You’ve been feeling stressed
You’ve been working too hard
You’ve been too busy
You want to have a rest
There’s been a lot of doing but not enough being
It’s hard to switch off
You’re looking to for a reset
You’d like some peace & quiet
You feel the need to unplug and slow down
You feel lost & disconnected from yourself
The benefits of this retreat…
Feeling rested and refreshed
Feeling deeply relaxed
Your body will feel nourished and nurtured
You’ll have new tools & techniques to help you rest and relax at home
You’ll discover and change if necessary any limiting beliefs you hold about rest and self care
You’ll rediscover and reconnect with what brings you joy and raises your energy
You’ll have a more clarity and a new perspective
Resting is not just ‘a nice to have’ it’s a necessity
Stress is natural and necessary sometimes, it helps us get things done. We are designed though for ‘short sprints’ of stress where we have recovery time rather than the marathon of chronic stress some people experience. Chronic stress suppresses our immune system and increases our risk of disease
Rest when we purposefully and successfully ‘do it’ may help to…
Reduce stress & anxiety
Improve mood
Decrease blood pressure
Help us deal with pain
Improve our immune system
Improve the health of our cardio system
Improve mental health
Boost creativity
Boost productivity
In rest we rediscover ourselves
Not just rest—a profound shift in how you experience yourself
Returning participants come again and again because of the lasting impact
We hold you with care, we are experienced facilitators and expert in creating a safe, nurturing environment
We embrace the magic of the season embracing stillness, reflection, and renewal
“It’s like coming home to yourself when you didn’t know you were lost. A truly magical and nurturing experience for body, mind & soul. ”
Your Retreat starts as soon as you book your place
Often the messaging we hear around us and sometimes inside our own head regarding rest is one of pushing through, being busy all the time, there isn’t enough time to rest or maybe you feel guilty prioritising yourself. Simply by making your booking you are choosing for something else. Choosing to rest, choosing to relax to restore your energy levels. To go on our retreat sends a powerful message which is a wonderful antidote to all of this. When we give to ourselves we are in a much better place to meet the demands of life and to give to others.
Subconscious Reprogramming
30 days before the beginning of your retreat you will be sent a deeply relaxing hypnotherapy audio to listen to regularly before your retreat. Your hypnotherapy audio will help you begin to relax and prepare for your retreat experience. Hypnotherapy is a wonderful way to help you make significant and positive changes in a relatively short period of time. The hypnotherapy audio will help you look forward to a well rested future and is deeply nourishing. It might be lovely to listen do as you drift off to sleep.
