Why Rest, Reset & Thrive?
As mothers, we can easily lose ourselves in the various roles and expectations that our culture/family/society has defined for us. We can end up living by values we have internalised rather than consciously chosen.
This retreat is more than just a break—it’s an opportunity to redefine how you live, how you care for yourself, and how you show up for your family, your work, your dreams and passions.
Join us at Rest, Reset & Thrive this autumn and return home rested, recharged, with the clarity, capacity, and tools to start thriving as a mother and as a woman.​

In her forties, she focused on Vinyasa and 8-limbed Hatha Yoga while living in a Yoga Community in California, which further enriched her teaching style.
Now based in Bristol, she continues to deepen her love and understanding of yoga, encouraging her students to work harmoniously with their bodies from the inside out. Through mindful, breath-based practices, Nicola helps cultivate flexibility, strength, and emotional balance, creating a nurturing space for personal growth and healing.

Florence is a Nutritional Therapist and Health Coach specializing in holistic hormone health.
At the retreat, Florence will offer her specifically designed yummy hormone-nourishing menu that also calms the nervous system, enhancing energy, mood, and gut health. She will also give a talk on holistic hormone balance, offering practical strategies for incorporating these changes into daily life with ease.
Her wellness journey started at 13 when she experienced severe period pain that she eventually healed through the transformative power of food. This personal experience led her to train in biomedicine and nutritional therapy to help other women facing similar challenges.
For the past three years, Florence has run a successful online clinic, where she observed the significant impact of stress and nutrition on women's health, as well as the difficulty of integrating these practices into busy lifestyles.
She also leads the Deliciously Nourished membership, which provides meal plans, recipes, and stress-relief practices to support sustainable wellness.
