A Retreat for Moms Who Want to Feel Like Themselves Again
A 5-day retreat in southern Spain | 24–28 May 2026
This retreat is for moms.
Moms who love their kids deeply and feel overstimulated, touched-out, or on edge.
Moms who notice how quickly they snap, and how bad it feels afterward.
Moms who miss feeling present, playful, balanced and at ease in their own lives.
I created this retreat because I’ve been there.
There was a time when I was constantly overwhelmed and quick to rage with my kids. I thought something was wrong with me. What I eventually learned,through my own matrescence journey, my background in psychology and yoga therapy, and deep nervous system work, is that my reactions weren’t a personal failure. They were a nervous system doing its best under too much pressure.
When I learned how motherhood changes us at an identity and physiological level,and when I began using mind–body tools to actually support my nervous system, everything shifted. Not overnight. Not perfectly. But slowly, I found more space. More patience. More balance. More joy. More moments of genuine presence with my kids.
This retreat is an extension of that work.
It’s an invitation to step out of survival mode and into a space where your body can soften, your nervous system can settle, and you can remember who you are underneath the mental load, the caretaking, and the constant doing.

What This Retreat Offers
Over five nourishing days in the mountains of Andalucía, we are going to slow things down.
This is not about fixing yourself or becoming a “better” mom.
It’s about being supported long enough for your system to reset, so presence and joy become more accessible again.
Together, we’ll move, breathe, rest, reflect, and spend time in both connection and quiet. Everything is optional. Nothing is rushed.
Expect:
Yoga therapy–based movement designed to support overstimulated nervous systems
Restorative practices that help your body actually rest (not just collapse)
Gentle education woven in around matrescence, identity, and regulation
Honest, grounding conversation with other moms who get it
Long, sun-soaked afternoons with no one needing anything from you
What’s Included
Twice-daily yoga therapy sessions (gentle movement, breathwork, deep rest)
Morning meditation and evening Yoga Nidra
5 Days/ 4 nights
Two nourishing meals per day (brunch and dinner, Mediterranean-inspired with dietary accommodations)
Daily free time and access to five pools on the property
Optional add-ons such as massage and journaling guidance
This is a retreat in the truest sense of the word: spacious, supportive, and designed to restore your energy, clarity, and nervous system balance.

Who This Retreat Is For
This retreat is for you if:
You’re a mom who feels overstimulated, touched-out, or chronically “on edge”
You notice yourself reacting faster than you want to with your kids,and feel guilt or grief about that
You’re curious about matrescence and how motherhood has changed you at an identity and nervous system level
You want practical, embodied tools to feel more regulated,balanced, present, and joyful,not just inspired
You’re craving rest that actually restores you, not just time away that leaves you depleted
You value depth, gentleness, and honesty over hustle, performance, or “doing it right”
You want to be in community with other moms who get it,without fixing, comparing, or pretending
You don’t need to be “at a breaking point” to come. You just need to feel the quiet pull toward more ease, more space, and more you.
Who This Retreat Is Not For
This retreat may not be the right fit if:
You’re looking for a packed schedule, intense physical practices, or a fitness-focused yoga experience
You want a retreat that’s about productivity, transformation hacks, or pushing past your limits
You’re not open to slowing down or spending time with yourself in silence and reflection
You’re expecting someone else to “fix” you rather than support your own process
You’re not in a season where you can prioritize rest, presence, and nervous system care
This is not a bootcamp. It’s not a reset-your-life-in-five-days experience. It’s slower, deeper, and more subtle,and that’s exactly the point.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need yoga experience to attend?
Not at all. All practices are accessible, gentle, and guided with care. This retreat is about nervous system support and embodiment,not flexibility or performance.
I’m exhausted and overwhelmed. Will this be too much for me?
This retreat was created for that place. Everything is optional, and rest is prioritized. You’re always invited to do less, not more.
Is this therapy or group processing?
No. While my background includes psychology and yoga therapy, this is not therapy and there is no pressure to share personal stories. Education and reflection are woven in gently, with clear boundaries and choice.
I feel nervous about leaving my kids. Is that normal?
Completely. Many moms feel this way. This retreat isn’t about escaping your life,it’s about being supported so you can return more resourced, regulated, and present. There will be plenty of other moms to talk about it (and who will totally get it) and you can check in with your family whenever you like!
What ages of moms is this for?
There’s no specific age range. Moms of babies, teens, adults and everything in between are welcome. Matrescence doesn’t end in the early years,it continues to evolve.
Will there be free time?
Yes,lots of it. Long stretches are intentionally left unscheduled for rest, swimming, naps, journaling, or doing absolutely nothing.
What’s the group size?
The group is intentionally small to create a sense of safety, connection, and spaciousness.
Can I come alone?
Yes,and many participants do. You’ll be warmly welcomed, and there’s no pressure to be social beyond what feels right for you.
Are payment plans available?
Yes. If cost is a consideration, reach out and we’ll find a way to make it more accessible.
What if I need to cancel?
You can cancel before 24 March 2026 for a refund minus the €250 deposit. After that date, payments are non-refundable unless your spot is filled.
