Your Christmas
Retreat
A 4night residential retreat in
North Wales, UK for women
A home from home.
A rest-based & women-only retreat
Restful and invigorating, gentle and purposeful
Being here has refreshed my faith in people and myself.
I always leave here with a sense of belonging and purpose.
If you're feeling depleted, disconnected, uninspired or stuck...
If you’re seeking somewhere beautiful to heal, share, connect, breathe and find clarity and peace...
If rest, nature, laughter, community and connection is important to you then this is for you.
How will we serve you?
Christmas can be a complex time of year, I know it is for me. So I’ve created a space that is reflective of the things I long for:
The gentle hustle and bustle of Christmas without the pressure.
A sense of family and togetherness. Fresh crispy air. Music.
Calm. Kindness. Childish wonder. A light touch of creativity and fun.
And a whole load of love, tasty food and space to breathe and rest.
If the time feels right, you may get a visit from my gang Fox (7) and Pip (5). They adore people, stories and playing games. This time together will be whatever you need it to be and I cannot wait to share it with you.

Our time together
01
Warmth in shared spaces
Our Christmas retreat invites you to share cosy rooms with fellow guests, building connections that will last a lifetime. There's something beautifully heartwarming about waking up to the laughter and camaraderie of like-minded souls.
Space safely held
03
Steph is a INLPTA certified Neuro Linguistic Programming Practitioner, mBIT Master Coach (where neuroscience backs up ancient wisdoms) and HeartMath coach. Together we'll explore restorative and compassionate exercises and movement.
Moments of Solitude
& Silence
05
Amidst the holiday festivities, we believe in the power of introspection. Enjoy precious moments of silence and solitude, allowing you to recharge, reflect and be without the need to be anything more.
Intimate Setting
07
Last year on Christmas Eve we enjoyed walking around the cobbled streets of Ruthin, roaming the ruins of Ruthin Castle topping off the evening with mulled wine and beautiful lilt of a Welsh group sing Christmas carols.

Yummy Food
At our retreat, food is more than just nourishment; it's a shared experience. Everything will be provided for catering to your needs and together you will make the meals. It's a special way to bond and share stories.
Creativity & Play
04
Rediscover your playful and creative side as you gather to paint and create mementos from nature in the gentle afternoons. You might even find yourself with the board games out enthusiastically shouting at each other!
Nature's Breath
06
Start your day with invigorating morning swims, surrounded by the breath-taking landscapes of North Wales. Feel the crisp, refreshing air awaken your senses as you embark on local walks forging a deeper connection with nature.
It can be whatever you need
08
This is for you, you can participate in as much or as little as you would like.
Some dozed in the comfy chairs, others did jigsaws and painted. Others made food and walked.
Wonderful Christmas retreat which helped me feel both stronger & lighter. So much encouragement from Steph & the other women on the retreat. Our connections really nourished me & I feel we'll have that link always. Steph is a wonderful retreat facilitator & holds the space with kindness, clarity & love. Thank you.
Why work with Steph?
You can find the fancy stuff about me here but perhaps the most important things about me are that I am human - I am messy too. I know some really helpful and cool stuff, I am honest, I care about you and I genuinely want to help you have an easier life.
What I do is hard to put into words because it depends on what you need. I design each retreat very carefully and then I change and adapt it all the way through our time together so I can serve you as best I can.
My rest-based retreats are purposeful, gentle, fun and restorative. I'll draw upon my Neuro Linguistic Programming training, neuro science and all my other training and qualifications to help you breathe a little deeper into yourself.
"Steph sees me, in a way I've never known myself to be seen.
I didn't realise how much I needed to be seen. The relief has been huge. It's also been hard at times but because I've had nowhere to hide, it's meant I've had to show up for myself."
Heading to this beautiful place for my second retreat with Steph. Anyone who feels like they never have any time for themselves, struggle with stress or anxiety, or just want to be kinder to themselves,
I would recommend this place over and over again.
Best place to slow your mind and feed your soul.
The Space
It is beautiful here, that's for sure. The balcony often overlooks the lambs, friendly cows and the setting sun whilst the studio welcomes in the sunrise and overlooks the rolling hills. If you fancy a lunch time stroll there are plenty of local walks from here too and our local pub The Goat Inn is walking distance for a tasty meal.
We understand sharing accommodation can feel daunting to some so we’ve put lots of thought into how we can make it as comfortable as possible to give you peace of mind.
The Bedrooms
There are 3 en suite bedrooms with underfloor heating, each with bunking for 4 people and each bed with its own curtain, shelf, plug socket and light. The top bunks have stairs instead of ladders so you don’t get cold and sore feet getting up and down too.
You have reminded me I'm only human.
Steered me towards the positive.
Been a constant source of support.
Encouraged lightness.
Called my bullshit.
Improved my relationship with my children,
and husband,
and others.
Brought my critic to the light.
Made the mirror less scary.
Guided my out of ̶m̶y̶ depression.
Helped me to feel worthy.
