When you spend three years planning the perfect retreat, then you find this venue.

Powis House Estate , just outside Stirling, is the kind of place that makes you pause the moment you arrive. A historic house set beneath the Ochil Hills, surrounded by calm, space and quiet beauty.

This is a small residential retreat for 8-10 guests, taking place from Sunday 10th to Friday 15th May.
Full board, with single and shared occupancy options available.

We waited until everything felt right – the timing, the setting, the way it all comes together. The venue alone is worth the retreat.

Early bird places can be reserved with a £199 deposit.

Who’s ready to step into this space with us?
Booking information coming very soon.

Christmas can be full of love
And it can also be full of emotion

Wherever you find yourself this year
May you find moments of peace
Moments to breathe
Moments that feel gentle

Wishing you a peaceful and stress free Christmas
From Mags

As we come to the end of our Countdown to a Stress Free Christmas, Mags shares one simple breathing exercise that really works.

If stress takes over.
If emotions rise.
If everything feels too much.

Pause. Breathe. Take back control.

This is a tool you can return to anytime - not just at Christmas, but whenever life feels overwhelming.

If you’ve found this series helpful, stay tuned for details of our Retreat, coming soon in Stirling.

Now that Christmas is just days away, it’s time to come back to what really matters.

Not the gift lists.
Not the expectations.
Not the pressure to make everything perfect.

In today’s Countdown to a Stress Free Christmas, Mags helps gently refocus the mind on what’s truly important - and how much calmer things feel when we let go of what isn’t.

And if the overwhelm still creeps in over the holiday period, you don’t have to handle it alone.

Mags will be holding an emergency support day over Christmas for anyone who feels anxious, overwhelmed or in need of support.
The date will be shared very soon.

If you’re struggling, reach out.
Support is there when you need it.

Christmas can feel incredibly heavy when it’s your first without someone you love - whether through bereavement or separation.

If you’re dreading the day, that doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. It means you’re grieving.

In this week’s Countdown to a Stress Free Christmas, Mags shares gentle, compassionate guidance for navigating grief during the festive season.

- No pressure to be cheerful.
- No expectation to carry on as normal.
- Just kindness, understanding and practical ways to get through the day with care for yourself.

If you’re struggling, please don’t carry it alone.
Reach out, send us a message or get in touch to chat about support that feels right for you.

Painful joints aren’t always just physical.
Sometimes they’re a sign of grief or guilt the body is still carrying.

This Saturday, Mags continues our Countdown to a Stress Free Christmas series by talking about grief at Christmas - and how to navigate it with care, compassion, and less pressure on yourself.

If this resonates, come back on Saturday.
You won’t want to miss this one.

You can plan every detail of Christmas…
the timings, the dinner, the flow of the day…
and one late arrival is enough to throw it all off.

It’s frustrating, it’s deflating and it can feel like all your hard work has been ignored.

But you don’t have to let someone else’s timing ruin your day.

Watch as Mags shares a simple shift that helps you take back control, protect your peace and enjoy the day you’ve worked so hard to create.

Watch the video to hear her approach - it changes everything.

Most people misunderstand forgiveness.

It’s not approval and it’s not weakness.
It’s something far more powerful.

Watch to see what Mags means.

If this resonates, make sure you’re following our Countdown to a Stress-Free Christmas series for more guidance and calm in the weeks ahead.

When we don’t speak our truth, it shows up in our bodies long before it shows up in our words.

That tightness in your throat
That pressure in your chest
That feeling of holding everything in just to keep the peace
It’s not weakness – it’s your body signalling that something needs to shift.

In today’s video, Mags walks you through a simple way to work with your throat chakra so you can:

• Release what you’ve been bottling up
• Communicate calmly and clearly
• Stop resentment before it builds
• Feel more in control of your emotions

When your throat chakra is balanced, difficult conversations become easier and the pressure you’ve been carrying lifts.

If this resonates, make sure you’re keeping up with our Countdown to a Stress-Free Christmas series.
Each video gives you a tool you can use right away to make this season feel lighter.

Christmas is meant to feel magical…
yet for so many, this is the time of year when relationships feel the strain the most.

Maybe you’re carrying the mental load again.
Maybe you’re dreading sitting across the table from someone who drains you.
Maybe the financial pressure is pushing tensions higher at home.

This week in our Countdown to a Stress Free Christmas, Mags talks through simple, practical ways to ease the pressure and protect your peace.

No drama.
No judgement.
Just calm, grounded solutions that help you navigate the people side of Christmas without losing yourself in the process.

If this time of year feels heavy, you don’t have to handle it alone.
Get in touch if you’d like support managing stress in a way that works for you.
