Tailored Retreats is a wellness travel company dedicated to creating tailored travel for solo travellers and groups alike to support them in achieving their personal wellness goals.
“Getting away has been my way to discover, switch off and rejuvenate, for as long as I can remember. My desire to set up a wellness travel business came when I experienced burnout from 12 years of working in corporate marketing. It was shortly after I’d given birth to my son and my physical and mental health had been suffering.
For over a year, doctors couldn’t diagnose a host of uncomfortable and at times crippling symptoms I was experiencing. The stress of not knowing what was wrong only exacerbated these symptoms. So I decided to book on to a retreat where I could detox, recoup and switch off.
It was here that I booked a health consultation with an ayurvedic practitioner. I wasn’t sure what to expect but she listened attentively whilst I shared my symptoms in detail and talked her through the tests, checks and cocktail of antibiotics doctors had prescribed for me over the last 18 months. It didn’t take her long to conclude that bad gut health was the main culprit of my symptoms and she was able to tell me what had caused it too; a combination of hormone imbalances, vitamin deficiencies and the depletion of good bacteria through prolonged use of antibiotics.
I was relieved to finally have a confident diagnosis which followed with reassurance that the right diet, coupled with certain techniques, exercise and lifestyle changes to manage stress would see my gut health restored. Whilst I was only there for a few days, the guidance I received is something I’ve followed long after returning. My health has been amazing since – it was a genuinely life-changing experience.
At Tailored Retreats, we send clients on retreats with dedicated programs tailored to help with a variety of health concerns, including weight loss, damaged gut health, stress, symptoms of menopause, broken sleep or rebuilding body and spirit after cancer treatment. These retreats are about relaxation and so much more; They’re designed to give you the tools and the support you need for your health to thrive in your everyday life. Each of our handpicked retreat locations practice holistic wellbeing and champion sustainability. Expect restorative body treatments, connection with nature, expert-led wellness classes and personalised guidance to help you heal and restore balance.
I love that through Tailored Retreats I can send clients on their own enriching and at times life-changing wellness journeys. Working for myself, I find the job equivalent of “clock-watching” is non-existent. A personal career first and proof that it really is all about the journey – and what an exhilarating, at times scary, but incredibly rewarding journey it’s been – in so many ways.
The highlight of it all? My wonderful clients, the change they see in themselves after returning from a retreat, their heartfelt appreciation for my services and their delightful post-travel tales.
LOCATION:
I love to meet clients for coffee in and around Beaconsfield, Marlow, Amersham and Chalfont or we can set up virtual meetings if preferred.
FEES:
I charge nothing for consultations and pulling together retreat options for clients. I work purely on a commission from the retreat venues I use. Costs of retreats themselves vary based on clients’ requirements.
