Mama Retreat Days
"Amazing Mama retreat day, led by the warm, nurturing and inspiring Cathy.
I left feeling energised, relaxed and inspired. Highly recommend!!"
"I have been struggling for a while with negative feelings towards myself,
but today I really felt like I CAN and WILL love myself, as I am."
It's time for you.
Featured as a 'Best wellbeing buy' in Juno magazine, Spring 2025
You give to everyone else. It's time for you.
Time for yourself. Time to be yourself.
As mums we barely get time to think, let alone properly recharge. So busy looking after everybody, everything; juggling family, work, house, and trying to be the Chilled Mama we want to be.
This is just what you need: a day to totally relax and unwind. Slow down and sink into deep relaxation. Time to think and find yourself again. Beautiful and peaceful setting; yummy food; and great company.

A day of unique experiences.
Some come to mark a milestone, such as returning to work, or children leaving home. Others come to share a special day with their friend, sister or mum. Many come with something inside to heal, to release, to decide. Some simply come to let go of the busy-ness. The best self-care you can give yourself.
The various experiences are carefully created to help you connect to yourself, with your place in the world, and with each other. You arrive strangers, and leave as friends.
Everything during the day is optional. You choose to join in the relaxations and mindfulness or take time to sit and read or even have a nap.
The day is all about you, giving you time to relax fully, to think, and time to recharge.
Babies in arms are welcome. This retreat is for all mums, however old your children are, whether 2 months, 2 years, 22 years or more, and non-binary parents, and those who take mothering roles in their lives.
Recognise your journey, the ups and the downs. Reward yourself for all the work, sacrifice, and pain. Give time to your inner you. Integrate the woman and the mother. Celebrate your blessings.
