PAUSES - mini retreats

Why Pause?

Because self-care is not optional. Not if you want to be healthy, happy and attuned to the natural flow of your energy so you can live intentionally.

Taking time to step away from your daily routine is essential to renewing and catching up with who you are becoming in the moment. Without distractions or the noise of everyday life, you begin to hear a different voice. Yours.

I created these opportunities to pause in the beautiful setting of the Algarve for those individuals who may not have a full week to step away and are looking for stillness without much structure but would benefit from the support of an experienced guide.

These five-night, four-day mini-retreats for women and men are designed to:

Create Balance

Shift from living a busy, over-scheduled life to one where you have ample time and space for what lights you up inside
Recognize and address areas of imbalance in your life to create more harmony and alignment
Establish clear and healthy boundaries, learn how to say no, and overcome your wish to please everyone
Implement simple strategies to organize your life and effectively manage your time so you can prioritize your health and well-being
Discover personalized mind-body tools and self-care practices to reduce stress and sleep better so that you experience more energy, connection, and lasting vitality

Cultivate Mindset

Create your Best Self Vision that connects to your purpose and aligns with what you value most in your life
Transform patterns of behaviors, thoughts, and beliefs that are holding you back from fully living into your vision
Shift to an empowering mindset of growth and abundance that places you in the driver’s seat, charting the course to your vision, excited about the possibilities and opportunities ahead
Tap into your innate resilient spirit and leverage your inner strengths, inherent gifts, and wisdom to increase your resilience and create healthy habits that last
Adopt a set of attitudes and practices that cultivate self-compassion, self-love, and self-confidence to let go of who you think you’re supposed to be and embrace who you truly are

Pauses begin Sunday morning and end on Wednesday evening. Specific days may be customized.

A minimum of one guest and a maximum of five guests.

RETREATS AND DATES

LET'S CHAT

A transformative day designed for clarity, renewal, and direction.

NEW!!

One Day Personal Retreat

This one-day restorative retreat is ideal for you if:

You’re navigating a life transition or inner shift
You want a deep, meaningful experience without needing multiple days away
You’re seeking clarity about purpose, direction, or a major decision
You feel overwhelmed or disconnected and need a reset
You’re ready to move forward with intention but need support to see the path

What this day offers:

This one-day retreat is intimate, personal, and deeply grounding. It blends conversation, nature, stillness, reflection, and intuitive guidance—offering both immediate clarity and practices you can carry forward long after the day ends.

Morning Session: Arrival & Awakening

We begin with coffee and a warm pastel de nata at a local café as you arrive into your day with intention. This opening dialogue sets the foundation for your retreat. We explore where you are, what’s calling you, and what you are ready to release or step into.

Nature Immersion: Beach or Cliff Walk

We take our conversation into nature—walking along the golden cliffs or the shoreline as the ocean widens your perspective.
Movement and the natural landscape support deeper insight, allowing what’s been beneath the surface to rise gently to awareness.

A Nourishing Lunch

We enjoy lunch at an exceptional local restaurant, savoring fresh, regional cuisine. This shared meal continues the conversation in a more relaxed, open way—often where clarity begins to emerge.

Afternoon Integration: Space for Your Own Reflection

After lunch, you’ll have dedicated time to integrate the morning’s insights. You may choose to rest, journal, walk, or simply sit with what surfaced. This quiet window allows your nervous system to settle and your intuition to speak.

Afternoon Deep Dive Session

We meet again for a guided conversation designed to go deeper.
This session focuses on:

Gaining clarity around your next steps
Understanding the patterns beneath your challenges
Reconnecting with your inner wisdom
Translating insight into practical, meaningful action

You will also receive personalized practices—mindfulness, reflection prompts, embodiment tools, or rituals—to support your growth after the retreat.

Closing Session: Integration & Affirmation

We end with a grounding closing ritual, affirming what has shifted and what you are carrying forward. You leave with clarity, direction, and a renewed sense of who you are becoming.

If you feel the pull toward clarity and renewal, if you’re ready to move beyond exhaustion and struggle, honor that whisper.

Reserve your restorative day and step into the next chapter with intention. Let’s talk about designing your day specifically for you.
