✨Me and Kat .. One of my favourite people in the world!✨
Kat and I met at a pregnancy swimming class in Brighton when we were pregnant with our first borns.. and they are now turning 18!!Our first meeting was a bit like love at first sight.. we spotted each other amongst the group of other pregnant mums, and immediately knew we were going to be friends for life. From that day on we were inseparable during our Brighton years, raising our kids together, walking the downs, chatting non stop on the edge of playgrounds, dancing when we got the chance of an evening out, even spending Christmases together.
We both trained as yoga teachers completely independently of each other and then Kat made the brave and exciting leap to emigrate to Spain and created her very own yoga retreat space. The sadness of losing my friends’ geographical closeness sweetened by having the most beautiful of places to visit in the Catalan mountains.
Although living over 1000 miles apart, our friendship is closer than ever. We talk, listen, laugh, cry and plan over the phone.. and when we do get precious real life time together it fills me up, leaving me a little more grounded, a little more grateful, a little more me… and those first born boys are still best mates too :-)
Why am I telling you all this? Because Kat and I are joining forces to bring you WILD ALCHEMY RETREATS - gentle and nourishing yoga retreats that offer respite from the pace and stresses of daily life, offering time to unravel, ground and come back to yourself.
Our first retreat is happening this October at the seasonal threshold of late summer and autumn. The perfect time for some late summer sun, reflection time and self-care ahead of the winter season.
We are looking forward to sharing our yoga practice with you, but also to share Kat’s peaceful oasis at Nomada Retreat, which offers it’s own practice of slowing down, surrounded by nature’s wild beauty.
This 3 night retreat runs 9-12th October.

We are so looking forward to sharing this with you!
