Retreats feel hard for one main reason. Too many women are trying to hold the vision, the logistics, the marketing, the emotions and the responsibility on their own. That’s not leadership — that’s overload. When retreats are supported properly, they don’t feel chaotic or stressful. They feel structured, clear, and surprisingly calm. That’s what I help women build inside the Retreat Design Lab. Not more pressure — more ease.

If retreats are part of your future — or already part of your business — I want you to know this: It’s okay to want ease.
It’s okay to want support.
It’s okay to build something meaningful without burning yourself out.

I’ll be sharing more soon about the different ways I support women to do exactly that.

As a retreat designer for over 34 years this is what I think:
You don’t need more ideas.
You don’t need another download or another strategy telling you what you already know.
What retreat designers actually need is clarity, perspective, and someone steady in their corner.

That’s what changes everything.

Most retreat advice focuses on doing more.

If you post more content, do more marketing, or make more effort your retreats will fill and make money.
But what’s often missing is guidance on how to make retreats feel sustainable for the person holding the space.

That gap is where I’ve spent my space in the retreat field working — and why I know 100% support matters more than hustle.

This year, I’m doing things differently. Slower. More intentional. More supported. Not because I’m stepping back — but because I know what actually creates sustainable success.

This year is about building in a way that fits my real life, not burns me out. In the past I have felt like I have to be filling every day with business 'stuff', but the reality is I do not. I have built a business with balance in mind - if I want to sleep until 10am and do work at 11pm that is ok because it fits the lifestyle I am building.

In the world of organising retreats ease isn’t accidental.
It doesn’t come from luck or shortcuts or having it all figured out.

People often tell me 'how wonderful' my life is and how exciting it must be to travel around the world running retreats. BUT ease is designed — through clarity, boundaries, and support. It’s the foundation of everything I teach and live by, and it’s what allows retreats to feel calm instead of chaotic.

My life is by design, so I can feel the ease.

When organising your business and a retreat you can often feel overwhelmed. This is not a personal failing.

Some may judge and sa you are not organised enough.
Some may judge and say you are not ready to be doing this.
I think it usually just means you’re holding too much without the right structure or support.

This is exactly what I help women unravel — because it doesn’t need to feel this heavy.

One of the biggest lessons decades in this work has taught me is this: Ease doesn’t come after success. It comes from how you build. When retreats are designed with clarity and support from the beginning, they don’t drain you — they sustain you. And that changes not just your work, but your life.

Somewhere along the way, retreats picked up a reputation for being overwhelming. Too many moving parts.

Too much to think about.
Too much pressure to get it right.

But this is what I’ve seen again and again: retreats don’t feel hard because you’re not capable — they feel hard because you’re doing them alone.

Support changes everything.

Running retreats doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.
After years of mentoring women and hosting transformational retreats, I’ve seen what actually works — and it’s not pushing harder.
It’s clarity.
It's connection.
It’s strategy.
It’s support.
AND it's all about community.

Our Story

Retreats for Resorts™ has been developed through 26 years of experience in the retreat industry and brings together Resorts with a wide range of Retreat Facilitators. The Retreat Facilitators are all experts in their field, therefore presenting a unique bringing together of Resorts and expertly crafted retreats providing people on holidays with a wide choice of experiences tailored to their needs.

Retreats for Resorts is the next big thing in the holiday market!

Retreats encompass many themes and topics but are often at the core of communication and culture.

They provide the opportunity for change in individuals lives and can enhance the participants experience of their business, personal or community interactions. To have this experience on a tropical island, mountain top ski resort, a desert camp or a beach side oasis will be a truly wonderful experience for guests and one which they will take away and talk to family, friends and colleagues about. The multiplier effect, word of mouth, has the potential of bringing others into the Resort to experience something unique themselves.
