Mama Retreat Days
"Amazing Mama retreat day, led by the warm, nurturing and inspiring Cathy.
I left feeling energised, relaxed and inspired. Highly recommend!!"
"I have been struggling for a while with negative feelings towards myself,
but today I really felt like I CAN and WILL love myself, as I am."
It's time for you.
Featured as a 'Best wellbeing buy' in Juno magazine, Spring 2025
You give to everyone else. It's time for you.
Time for yourself. Time to be yourself.
As mums we barely get time to think, let alone properly recharge. So busy looking after everybody, everything; juggling family, work, house, and trying to be the Chilled Mama we want to be.
This is just what you need: a day to totally relax and unwind. Slow down and sink into deep relaxation. Time to think and find yourself again. Beautiful and peaceful setting; yummy food; and great company.
"They are really amazing days. We all said we didn’t want the day to end and would quite enjoy a weekend retreat! "
"This was a truly special day for me. I learnt so much about myself, I didn't think I would get as much out of it as I did! "
"It was an awesome day with an amazing bunch of women. What a powerful and relaxing retreat that was. Thank you Cathy for organizing such a beautiful day and treating all the mamas with yummy food and treats. See you again soon."
What to expect:
The day is carefully curated so you can relax, be present to yourself, turn in and listen to your wisdom, be open to what you need, and be you.
Take a journey to yourself through selected gentle activities.
-
Deep relaxation to rest & listen to your soul
-
Forest bathing (i.e. nature immersion; you keep your clothes on) for connection & feeling your place in the world
-
Walking a labyrinth to slow down & untangle your thoughts
-
A fire ceremony to release what you no longer need, and to be open to receive the new
-
Yummy lunch and refreshments
Everything is optional.
"What an amazing magical day I had today on Chilled Mama's retreat today. Cathy is so loving, nurturing & gentle, guiding you through the day. Highly recommend this day."

A day of unique experiences.
Some come to mark a milestone, such as returning to work, or children leaving home. Others come to share a special day with their friend, sister or mum. Many come with something inside to heal, to release, to decide. Some simply come to let go of the busy-ness. The best self-care you can give yourself.
The various experiences are carefully created to help you connect to yourself, with your place in the world, and with each other. You arrive strangers, and leave as friends.
Everything during the day is optional. You choose to join in the relaxations and mindfulness or take time to sit and read or even have a nap.
The day is all about you, giving you time to relax fully, to think, and time to recharge.
Babies in arms are welcome. This retreat is for all mums, however old your children are, whether 2 months, 2 years, 22 years or more, and non-binary parents, and those who take mothering roles in their lives.
Recognise your journey, the ups and the downs. Reward yourself for all the work, sacrifice, and pain. Give time to your inner you. Integrate the woman and the mother. Celebrate your blessings.
