If anxiety or depression has left you feeling diminished, disconnected or like you're just existing, this retreat offers a unique way to break through and find happiness, peace and fulfilment.
In a deeply held yet informal setting, I guide you through my proven process to take back your power, safely release unwanted patterns and emotions, teach you my 6 Keys to mental freedom, and reconnect you with your true self rather than what life has caused you to become.
This is not about managing symptoms. It is about real change — feeling free within yourself again - trusting yourself, trusting life, and returning to the joy of being fully alive.
You leave lighter, empowered and renewed, with lasting tools and support to enable this become a genuine new path for your life.
Bringing You Understanding, Clarity and a New Beginning
Working closely over two deeply supported days, everything is shaped around you and your situation. There is no judgement, just compassion.
We move through my proven process at your own pace – releasing unwanted emotions, shifting long-held patterns and healing from within to feel lighter and freer; I share my 6 keys to naturally live from the wiser, positive part of your brain and – most importantly of all – we gently bring you back to self worth, self love, self trust, and inner peace.
Imagine waking up
* Feeling calm and grounded
* Feeling comfortable in your own mind
* Trusting yourself
* Looking ahead with clarity instead of dread
* Feeling confident and empowered
* Able to love life
This is the shift that we can make. Book a private call to explore more.
A Safe, Calm, Supportive Setting in Rural Devon
Stay in a lovely private annex with your own entrance, quiet space and beautiful country walks.
Each morning come to my home – a comfortable and informal environment in which to make positive change. Pausing for breaks and lunch, we dissolve what has kept you away from your peace, happiness and contentment.
The first day is about deep shifts, emotional release and coming back into your power. A little evening work consolidates your new space.
The second day moves into building the new, being in command of your mind, exploring relationship dynamics, restoring self worth, self trust and self alignment, and focusing directly on the personal aims we clarified before your arrival.
Each evening you return to the accommodation for your picnic meal, rest and reflection before bed.
Working Beneath Symptoms, Where Real Change Happens
This is my own carefully developed process, drawn from my clinical training, multiple modalities I’ve found truly effective, decades of my lived and professional experience, and the intuitive way I work with each woman.
Most talking therapies are working with the conscious mind, yet much of what drives anxiety and depression sits much deeper. Thinking differently is rarely enough to create lasting change.
“The Fundamental Shift” works through my Three Pillars, addressing the underlying causations, enabling conscious and subconscious change, and bringing you home to your true inner self, from where you are grounded and comfortable in your own skin. From this space, you naturally function from your higher self and positive mind, where anxiety and depression cannot exist.

Self-Contained and Highly Rated.
This spacious and well-appointed self-contained annex has its own entrance, deluxe shower room, table and chairs, sofa, and a comfortable bed, offering a relaxing and quiet space before and after each day’s experience.
The decking area (with patio set in summer) has a gate which opens onto a country lane from where you can walk as far as you wish in beautiful Devonshire countryside.
Your host is Kate, who provides a hearty breakfast. All dietary needs are discussed in advance so you are fully taken care of.
We meet there on your arrival day and consolidate the foundation work done in advance, and take the next steps to be fully engaged with our focus for our two days together.
You can then relax, enjoy your picnic tea, and immerse into your retreat.
Embedding Your Changes to Take Hold Long-Term
Real change takes time to embed and become your ‘new normal’, so ongoing support is set in place right from the start.
Following the retreat, you will have five one-to-one zoom sessions, spaced in a way that supports your continued growth.
These sessions allow you to:
• Integrate the new ways of living
• Expand and deepen areas of particular meaning
• Receive further guidance as you progress
You are also invited to a monthly group zoom meeting for ongoing support and connection.
This is a complete process to bring you back to the path that truly honours you.

During our conversation, we will talk about your situation, you can ask any questions, and I’ll explain more about how I work, so you can get a clear sense of whether this retreat feels right for you.
If it feels aligned, we can then look at dates and next steps together.
A simple booking form and a £500 deposit secures your place, with the remaining balance due 14 days before your retreat.
Once booked, you’ll receive a comprehensive welcome guide, and we’ll arrange a further session to discuss dietary needs, travel arrangements, and begin foundational work immediately — so your shift starts before you even arrive.
