REST & RECHARGE RETREATS
WHAT IS THE REST & RECHARGE RETREAT?
A 5-day transformative retreat in a charming farmhouse in South West France, designed to allow you to rest, reset, and recharge. As sisters passionate about self-care, and with qualifications in coaching, NLP, hypnosis, yoga, meditation, and reiki, Hannah & Naomi use this unique blend to offer a warm, deeply personal and supportive space where you can step back from the world and give yourself permission to truly rest and recharge.

WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID:
"The most amazing retreat I have been on. Hannah and Naomi’s generosity, kindness, support, and multiple talents are extraordinary. I felt at home, cared for, and supported in such a unique way. I am taking away so much wisdom from our hosts and from the other lovely guests. I feel rested, relaxed, at peace, and also stronger, ready to take on the challenges that will inevitably arise as I get back into the real world. The location, food, and amenities are perfect. The activities and exercises (NLP, Reiki, hypnosis, coaching, self-reflection, visualisations, walks, art therapy, etc…) were diverse, allowing me to gain greater self-awareness. I’m bringing back tools and resources to help me as I move forward on life’s journey. THANK YOU Hannah and Naomi!” - 2024 Retreater
Daily activities include a morning meditation & gentle stretch,
group coaching activities, walks in nature, 1:1 sessions...
WHAT A DAY IN RETREAT LIFE WITH HANNAH AND NAOMI WILL LOOK LIKE:
🔋Group Coaching Workshops: Engage in self-reflection and explore ways to refill your own cup. Simple daily tools and techniques to remove draining habits, beliefs, and behaviours and create new, healthier ones that boost your energy and allow you to shine in all areas of your life.
🧘♀️Daily meditation and yoga: Start the day with guided meditation, breathwork and gentle stretching to help you reconnect with your mind and body. No experience in yoga or meditation is needed; sessions will be adapted for all levels.
🌳Walks in nature: Enjoy the blissful surrounding countryside at your own pace. (Re)connect to your 5 senses, immersed in nature.
🥕Delicious healthy homemade food: Made with local healthy seasonal produce and cooked by our lovely mother, meals will be nutritious and predominantly plant-based. We can, of course, cater to any allergies or specific dietary requirements.
Retreaters enjoy a 1:1 Reiki session, walk to local café, art therapy & post sauna swim
🏊♀️ Daily sauna and swims: Relax and unwind with the option to enjoy some some sauna time and dips in the (unheated but covered) pool. The pool will either be covered or uncovered based on the weather (last October retreat we were able to have the cover off during the day and covered at night to keep it warm). Whatever the weather it is always there if you fancy a swim post sauna
📚Time and space for reading, peace, quiet, and reflection: Find sanctuary in the tranquil settings inside and outside. Lots of space to take yourself off in the grounds to enjoy some alone time by the big oak trees or the bench to enjoy the sunrise.
🔥 Chill time outside with the firepit under the moon and stars or a cozy moment inside by the log burner.
🫶 Family vibe: Hosted with love by two sisters and our mum, who’ll make you feel cared for, welcomed, and part of the family. It's one of the things people love most about our retreats!
"A week that I will never forget. From the moment I arrived at the beautiful French farmhouse, I felt a calmness wash over me. That calmness, peace, self-acceptance and love grew and grew as the week continued. I leave here feeling rested, full of energy, with new practices that I'll be implementing into my daily life. This is a truly special place. Hannah and Naomi (and Jennifer!) are special people with amazing gifts which they shower you with from the moment you join them. I feel so lucky to have been here with them. Thank you!" - May 2025 Retreater

WHY WE ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS RETREAT:
Our family moved to France 22 years ago after our father experienced a mental breakdown and physically collapsed in his office from stress and overwork. Our father said that without the time and space he gave himself in France, along with the love and support from his family, he doubts he would have ever recovered in the same way.
At that time, mental health was not a common topic of discussion, at least not in our circles. Nowadays, we are all too aware of the impact stress can have on our minds and bodies, yet many of us continue to work at a relentless pace and take on more and more. Having witnessed this first-hand, we understand the importance of stepping back from our busy lives to give ourselves permission to rest and recharge.
Since then, as sisters, best friends, and business partners, we have been on a mission to help as many people as possible prevent burnout. Our goal is to inspire and energise you, helping you understand the value of investing your time and energy in self-care so that you can shine your light brightly. As for the location, this is the secluded area we moved to, and as a family, we have discovered that this incredibly blissful, secluded part of southwest France has a special healing power, one that we want to share with you.

"A much needed time of self-reflection and love. Hannah and Naomi and their gorgeous mother looked after us so well and walked us through self healing. I loved getting back into yoga and meditation. The hypnosis and reiki. The outdoor morning and evening swims. The food and the fab company. We went on glorious group and solo walks. We had truly memorable times with all the group enjoying not just the classes and one-to-one sessions and walks but the Scrumptious meals - all homemade and devoured. I can't thank Hannah and Naomi enough. This has been an incredibly healing time for me and for us all." - May 2025 Retreater
