Release, Heal, Transform….
Like flowers, we sometimes forget to water ourselves and nourish the parts of us that need to grow and flourish.
We rarely take the time to step away from the stress and chaos of life to reconnect with our true selves, allowing us to bloom once more.
This one-day retreat allows you to step away from daily life & come on a journey to reconnect with your true self & reignite your inner spark. We will relax, release, heal & embody who we truly are – physically, emotionally & spiritually.
This retreat has been designed as a journey from start to finish to leave you feeling like a weight has been lifted for a day allowing you to focus on you, so you can come back to balance, self-love, clarity and you own inner zen feeling!
You will leave feeling nurtured, relaxed, energised, balanced and grounded in your personal energy.

A Journey of Self-Discovery….
As women we are thrown many challenges as we navigate the seasons of our life. We go through many physical and emotional changes – hormonal/menopause, relationships, friendships, families, career, loss.
Each one requires a different version of us and can leave us feeling overwhelmed and depleted as we navigate who we truly are.
During this day together we will relax, acknowledge what needs to be released, see whatever is weighing us down from a different perspective and then heal our mind body and heart to leave feeling more connected, inspired and empowered and a personal toolkit to continue your healing journey at home.
This retreat offers a sanctuary to navigate this self-discovery and come back to self-love.
Through guided meditation & understanding your patterns you will find inner clarity and connection and let go of what is no longer needed. While the yoga, energy and womb healing practices will support physical discomforts and restore balance energetically, mentally and emotionally.
This beautiful space will support self-care – helping you reconnect with your body, manage stress, and embrace the natural phases of life with compassion and resilience.
Through tapping into our inner wisdom and embracing whatever it is that is bringing us out of balance – we regain our confidence, re-frame overthinking & our inner critic, and allow ourselves to forgive and reclaim our self-worth!

Let Me Introduce Myself……
I am really excited to support you & hold you in this beautiful energy for the one-day ‘Flourish’ retreat.
It has been my mission since starting The Zen Academy over 2 years ago, to bring women together into a nurturing space to relax & connect back to themselves & heal.
All my work is about inner healing – in simple terms, supporting you to let go of what has been and creating new empowering belief systems, enabling you to embrace the present and look to the future with confidence, strength and resilience for whatever is next on your journey.
Having faced many challenges myself that have left me searching for my identity, and authentic self, caused by my childhood, toxic relationships, loss and resulting in anxiety and burnout, I understand that we can spend a lot of time looking externally for answers and giving parts of ourselves to others meaning we become a little lost. We must wear masks and hide what we are sometimes feeling. Physical changes within our body leave us doubting ourselves and questioning where we are in life. We are also conditioned by the people around us and do what is expected of us, with life experiences leaving us with wounds that we need some help to heal.
We need to be seen differently and gain support in changing our behaviours, becoming more emotionally resilient and to start asking ourselves better questions.
I will hold you in a brave energy and space to experience a range of therapies and practices as a group and personally to support you in relaxing and coming back into balance. We also have two lovely guest practitioners joining us for the yoga & sound therapy, which will help you to get connected into yourself again and move your energy. You will also be on this journey of connection with like-minded women & the power of gathering in feminine energy is truly healing.
I am a Master Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Time Line® Therapy & Hypnotherapy Practitioner, as well as a Master Spiritual Life Coach, Energy Psychologist, psychic medium & Reiki energy healing master & teacher.
I intuitively use a mixture of all my knowledge to energetically support your connection back to yourself – creating lasting change with clarity, confidence & a clear direction.
I can’t wait to guide you on this nurturing journey back to yourself!
With Love & Gratitude,
Joanne x
“Sometimes we can’t supress our emotions any longer and need to reconnect, shift our perception internally and address our shadows. We must stop hiding from who we really are in case it’s not what the world wants to see and live in our own power.”
The Power Of Feminine Energy….
Women coming together in feminine energy and sharing this space to gain balance, meet like-minded people, letting their bodies and minds rest and energy heal is truly magical!
No matter what you bring with you to this space it will be held, and the expression and acknowledgement of emotion should not be feared, it is not negative it is part of being human!
We need to regulate our emotions through expression and in an ever-busy world we don’t always have the place, space, or time to be able to feel these emotions as we strive for more and navigate life. Sometimes we don’t feel that our expression is not worthy or me may be judged.
This day retreat is a place for re-connection and to gain clarity & purpose, enabling you to shift identities and come back to a place of love within yourself and your heart space.
