In a world where we are constantly inhaling, take a moment… and exhale.
Nestled deep in the Tweed Valley, this retreat is your sanctuary to switch off from the outside world, turn inward, reconnect with your heart and soul, and release that breath you’ve been holding.
Why?
As women, we have become completely disconnected from ourselves. We’ve lost touch with our natural rhythms, ignoring the whispers of our bodies until they become screams we can no longer silence.
We’ve hustled and climbed the corporate ladder, ensuring we never inconvenience anyone - never late due to a school drop-off meltdown, never letting on that we’re running on three hours of sleep after a restless night with our child.
We’re stressed out, strung out, juggling endless priorities - raising children, leading businesses, supporting aging parents, and saying “yes” when we really want to say “no.”
We are exhausted. Bone-achingly exhausted. Our minds are foggy, our emotions frayed, and we are teetering on the edge of burnout - one carelessly worded email or sideways glance from a partner away from tipping over completely.
And I know this because this was me. Until it wasn’t.
Exhale is your invitation to pause.
This retreat is an invitation to pause, breathe, and truly listen—to the whispers of your heart, the dreams you’ve set aside, the potential left on hold and the woman you’ve slowly drifted away from.
It’s a chance to come home to yourself—to reconnect with your values, your deepest desires, and realign with the woman you wholeheartedly want to be. A woman who feels passionate, creative, and inspired by life, radiating this energy outward, uplifting her family, her business, and everything she touches.
With the loving support of personally selected retreat guides—women who have walked this path before—you’ll be gently guided through transformative practices, deep reflections, and soul-nourishing conversations designed to reignite your intuition, passion, and purpose.
Through deeply restorative experiences and powerful workshops, you’ll release the weight of what no longer serves you, creating space for the expansive, extraordinary possibilities waiting to unfold.

Your Sanctuary Awaits
Nestled deep in the Tweed Valley, our retreat space is a sanctuary of tranquillity. A free-flowing creek winds through the lush landscape, offering freshwater swimming and rock pools to explore.
Our retreat is also a working farm, so feel free to collect fresh eggs from the chickens, watch the playful antics of the goats, and snuggle with the Scottish Highland cows.

With a menu intentionally designed to support adrenal health and restore balance, you will leave feeling light, nourished, and full of vitality.

MEET YOUR HOST
Mel Marsden
Hi, I’m Mel – a workplace strategist and business coach.
I created this retreat because it’s exactly what I once needed—though I didn’t realize it at the time.
Like so many ambitious women, I pushed through the relentless pace of life—juggling career demands, family responsibilities, and the constant pressure to do it all. Over time, the stress became my ‘normal,’ and without realizing it, I found myself in the darkness of body burnout and adrenal fatigue.
It was here I began exploring a different way—one rooted in balance, nourishment, and deep restoration. By embracing practices that supported my nervous system, I was able to reclaim my energy, passion, and clarity, without sacrificing my family or business.
My passion is helping women reconnect with themselves, tune into their intuition, and embrace simple, nourishing practices that bring clarity and ease. When we take the time to reset and realign, everything else—our work, our relationships, our sense of purpose—flows so much more effortlessly.
This retreat is your opportunity to step away from the busyness of life and exhale. Surrounded by nature, you’ll experience restorative practices designed to help you feel refreshed, inspired, and deeply connected to yourself again.
