In just 6 days, you’ll release what holds you back and reconnect with your inner wisdom.
Reaching 50 and beyond can be deeply challenging. For years, many of us have been everything to everyone - mothers, wives, career women - and somewhere along the way, we lost touch with ourselves.
Then one day, the nest is empty, the marriage has changed or ended, the career no longer defines us. The roles that once made us feel needed and valued fall away, and we’re left wondering: Now what?
Perhaps you’ve never married, never had children, or never found a career that truly fulfilled you - and you look around feeling unseen, unwanted, or unsure of who you are anymore.
But here’s the truth:
You have not come this far to fade away. Every soul has a purpose, gifts to share, and wisdom to live.
The Way of the Wise Woman Retreat is designed to help you remember your brilliance, reconnect with your purpose, and awaken the peace, power, and passion that are already within you.
This isn’t the end - it’s the beginning of a whole new chapter.
For the first time, your focus can be entirely on YOU - your growth, your joy, your freedom.
So, will you keep playing small and letting life pass you by?
Or will you rise - wild, wise and wonderful - and finally claim the life that’s waiting for you?

After years of studying esoteric astrology, working with thousands of souls globally, and teaching spiritual Workshops and Retreats, I’ve witnessed the struggles people face in finding and embracing their life’s purpose. My own journey through healing and connecting with the Ascended Masters taught me the profound importance of combining spiritual tools with practical guidance to navigate life’s challenges.
This Retreat was born from a desire to help all the wild, wise and wonderful women out there realise that there is SO much more to life and to YOU after the age of 50. By combining self-awareness and self-care with a deep spiritual understanding of what you are capable of at this liberating time of your life, I will help you open the door to the next exciting chapter of your wonderful life.
…to embrace the next chapter of your wonderful life?
…to let go of the old fears, beliefs and judgements?
…to put beautiful YOU first?
…to love, celebrate and share your unique wisdom and light?
…to be joyfully and unapologetically wise and wonderful YOU?
…to honour and unconditionally love wonderful YOU for all that you are?
If you have answered YES to any of the above then this is the retreat for you.
When you put your soul’s growth and happiness first, you will leave this Retreat forever changed—in the most beautiful and empowering way. 🌟
“Thank you for the most incredible experience. Life changing sounds cliche, but it definitely feels that way. I feel more confident and more at peace... I know it will only be a matter of time before all these new bits of me synchronize and I grow into the real me.
I am very grateful for the opportunity to have once again had your wisdom, guidance and support on my journey. I also feel privileged to have met another amazing group of ladies who are inspirational to say the least.
The whole package was amazing, the accommodation, the water ceremonies, the views... the wee frogs, geckos and dragonflies that kept us company.
Having an elemental green orb show itself was a real highlight. Thank you again for such a special experience and a wonderful memory for the future.”
