You’re the one people turn to. The one who holds the emotional weight. The one who keeps going - even when you’re running on fumes.
You give your time, your energy, your heart… But when was the last time someone held space for you?
This retreat is your invitation to stop. To soften. To breathe again.
Designed by a nurse who truly gets it, Gentle Exhale is a day created for the givers - the carers, the teachers, the helpers, the supporters - the people who give all and still hold everyone else together.
A day where you come back to you.

This retreat is a day of returning to yourself.
The morning is all about remembrance with a guided meditation and soundbath to help you soften, give thanks to yourself, and reconnect with the parts of you that get buried under responsibility. We follow this with a light walk around the beautiful grounds. It is grounding. It is protective. It is a quiet coming home.
The afternoon is where insight becomes movement. Guided journalling to translate what’s rising, followed by a practical workshop to help you anchor that inner shift into your real, everyday life.
We end with a closing ceremony of gratitude, integration, and a gentle sealing of everything you’ve reclaimed.
A day to remember who you are. A day to root back into your own life. A day that changes how you carry yourself forward.

After 15 years of nursing, I hit breaking point. I’d given everything - my time, my energy, my identity - until there was nothing left for me.
I broke down. I felt invisible. I didn’t know how to come back from it.
But I did.
Through deep healing, embracing my true self, and rebuilding my mindset, I found a new way to live and work in a way that honours my wellbeing instead of sacrificing it.
Now I help others do the same.
Just yourself, a blanket and a cushion. Weather dependent we will spend some time outside so a coat is advisable (just in case). Everything else is provided.
Please contact me directly at [email protected]. We can have a conversation to ensure your needs are met.
We will let you sleep. You obviously need it and you are in a safe space.
