Details

🌿 HELD IN THE EXHALE
A restorative day retreat for women who spend their days caring for others.

This retreat is for any woman who is used to putting others first.

💛 It’s your turn to exhale

A full day at the beautiful Greyfriars Vineyard in the Surrey Hills.

Movement. Rest. Nourishing food.
And space to just be … surrounded by women who understand where you are coming from.

🌿 This retreat is for you if…
You are the one that people turn to...
For support.
For guidance.
For care.

You’re the one who notices what others need… often before they even say it.

You hold it all together on the outside.

But inside?
You know you need rest but your brain has a completely different agenda.
Your mind rarely switches off. Not properly, there's always something or someone or a 'thing' you said you would do that's still sitting there.

Because it's not just one role your holding.
It's everything.

Children who need you.
Family members who rely on you.
The relentless mental load of running a home and a life.
Messages.
Appointments.
Remembering everything for everyone.

And maybe alongside that… a job, a business, or supporting others professionally too.

That’s a lot to carry!
And there aren’t many spaces where you get to put it all down..

✨ This is YOUR exhale

Held in the Exhale is your opportunity to step out of ...
The doing.
The thinking.
The juggling.

And into a space where:
đź’› Nothing is expected of you
💛 You don’t have to be “switched on” or in "organiser mode"
đź’› You can arrive exactly as you are.

Tired. Overwhelmed. Running on empty.
Or simply ready for a proper pause.

🌿 Imagine this…
You leave the noise of everyday life behind.
As you drive through the Surrey Hills towards Greyfriars Vineyard…
the roads quieten, the views open up… and your shoulders begin to drop.

You arrive at a space that feels calm, warm, and intentionally created for you.
You don’t need to organise anything.
You don’t need to take care of anyone else.
And what you need is the centre of attention.

Everything has been thought of.
Every detail planned with you at the centre.

The retreat unfolds around you and you just have to be in it.

You enjoy nourishing food… while it’s still hot.
You step outside, breathe in the fresh air, and realise how much you needed this.

And when you leave?
You don’t just go back to your life as it was.
You return feeling lighter.
More like yourself again.
With so much more energy.

💛 What’s included
✨ A carefully curated day of restorative experiences- designed to do one thing: fill your cup!
✨ Nourishing lunch and refreshments throughout the day
✨ Thoughtful gifts to take home
✨ Connection with women who just get it

🌿 Why I created this retreat
Because I live this too.
Juggling family life, work, and supporting others…
trying to squeeze in five minutes of “me time” where I could.

And realising that wasn’t enough.

So, I started choosing something different.
Creating proper space to rest.
Booking things that gave me something to look forward to.
Allowing myself to step away- not because everything was done, but because I needed it.

And it changed everything.

This retreat is an extension of that.
A space where you don’t have to earn your rest.
Where you don’t have to justify taking time for yourself.
Where being looked after isn’t a luxury…
It’s the whole point.

✨ You might be wondering…
“Will I fit in if I’m not a birth worker”
Absolutely. This retreat is for any woman who carries a lot- at home, at work, or both.
The common thread isn’t your job… it’s how much you give to others and how long it's been since you made space for you.

“Will I know anyone?”
Maybe. Maybe not. But connection happens easily here and you will be surrounded by women walking a similar path.

“Should I really be spending money on myself?”
Yes! Because you are at the centre of everything you give.
And when you’re running on empty… everything else feels harder too.
This isn’t a luxury.
It’s what makes everything else sustainable.

🌿 A gentle nudge…
If even a small part of you is thinking:
“I think I need this…”
Listen to that!

I can't wait to hold YOU in the Exhale x

Instructions

There's no need to bring anything at all- just yourself.

I will take care of everything!

However, I want you to feel as comfortable as possible on the day. So, if you would rather bring your own yoga mat, cushion, water bottle, journal etc. then you are very welcome to do so!

There's plenty of free parking at Greyfriars Vineyard, The Hogs Back, Puttenham, Surrey, GU3 1AG. The Vineyard is accessible via the southbound carriage way of The Hogs Back travelling in the direction of Farnham, from Guildford.
