Previous pausing retreat guests said:
“This retreat was truly amazing. I was both restful but also taught a lot about movements and rituals that can be included in my daily life. The setting was so beautiful too. Would 100% go again!”
“I was looking to reconnect with myself after a period of ill health and personal stress. Hannah created an environment that allowed for personal exploration and flexibility to do just that. I would recommend this retreat to people who are looking to reset and relax, and would definitely return myself in the future.”
"Pause in Portugal gave me the space to truly switch off and reconnect. I left feeling lighter, clearer, and more grounded — it was exactly what I needed."
