You cry when you're frustrated. You apologise when you're angry. You call it ‘being fine’ when really you're carrying an invisible weight so old you've forgotten you're holding it.
You've done the work. The journaling. The affirmations. The vision boards. And you still feel stuck, tired in a way that rest doesn't touch, short-fused with the people you love most, clenching your jaw around things you've never said out loud.
Somewhere in you, you've started to suspect it: that this... the thing you won't feel... is exactly what's blocking everything you're trying to manifest. You can't call in what you want with one hand while the other is clenched around everything you've never let yourself feel.
This is not a retreat to relax and escape. This is a retreat to finally put it down.
What This Retreat Actually Is
This is a place to go deeper into yourself, to meet the parts of you you've kept in the dark, and finally let them go. To unburden yourself of the shame, the guilt, the rage that's been quietly holding you back from the life you actually want.
Over 3 days and 2 nights, you'll be guided through a series of experiences built to do exactly that.
You Are:
You are the woman who holds it together for everyone else. The one who checks in without being asked, who never lets a birthday go unmarked, who somehow still has the capacity to carry everyone else's chaos — and none left over for her own.
You arrive here composed. Contained. Impeccably fine.
You leave here loud. Undone. Fully, finally yours.
That's not a metaphor. That's the weekend.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF
|
☑ You're exhausted from holding it together for everyone else ☑ You've done some inner work, and still feel overwhelmed ☑ You're ready to feel what you've been avoiding, not just journal about it ☑ You want a retreat that will actually ask something of you
|
THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF
☒ You want a quiet weekend away to switch off completely
☒ You're looking for a passive, guided-meditation kind of experience
☒ You need this to be a substitute for therapy or medical care
☒ You're not ready to fully witness your potential
FRIDAY
WHERE IT BEGINS
Arrival, an opening circle, and a first invitation to meet the parts of yourself you've been avoiding. The evening closes gently, so your body knows it's safe to go further tomorrow.
SATURDAY
THE MAIN EVENT. THIS IS WHERE IT BREAKS OPEN
Breathwork to bring what's buried to the surface. A shadow work workshop. The Rage Release Stations. As the sun goes down: fire, forgiveness, and singing that transports your soul.
SUNDAY
INTEGRATE, SOFTEN, SEND HOME
A celebration built to end on a high, not a whimper. A closing circle. You leave with something in your hands to prove it happened.
A few pieces of the weekend, including what we're calling ‘an expression of what lives inside’... stay a surprise until you're here. That's deliberate.

Rage is something I never knew I had until I lived through my postpartum journey. Rediscovering who I was as a mother while trying to build a business in a foreign country, with no childcare, was one of the most challenging periods of my life.
From the outside, I looked calm, collected... just reserved. On the inside, I was crumbling, and the rage was burning me from the inside out. There were moments I just wanted to scream because the invisible load had become too much. There were moments I'd break down in tears and blame the system for not supporting mothers, no maternity pay, and with my second birth, sitting in the hospital with my newborn still showing up for work.
It was easier to blame my circumstances than to take ownership of what was really living beneath the surface. I was so fucking mad at myself for getting into that situation. I know I'm smart, so what I was really angry at was how someone as intelligent as me could let her life get to a state of being so stressful when it came to finances, that it was taking away from the magic of those precious early days .
My business was failing. I was feeling resentment toward my husband, who to this day is my greatest manifestation and the person I love most. I wasn't showing up as the fun, adventurous mom I longed to be. And this was years after already being a manifestation and mindset coach... I knew better. What I realised is that knowing information and actually embodying it are two very different things.
What got me through my dark night of the soul was meeting and befriending the darkest parts of myself. Releasing the shame. Becoming honest and vulnerable with myself. Letting go of what motherhood was "supposed" to look like, and doing it my way instead.
Today I don't see my rage as a hindrance. I see it as the fuel that has quantum-leaped my life forward, even into hosting this dream retreat, a sacred experience I've been dreaming of holding since 2020.

There was a time in my life when I genuinely didn’t think I’d ever feel happy again.
I was anxious from as far back as I can remember. Then, between the ages of 17 and 25, I went through a period of depression that, at points, I genuinely didn’t think I’d come out the other side of.
I can remember feeling like there was this invisible weight sitting on me all the time. Everything felt hard. Even getting out of bed some days took everything I had. There was a point where I’d forgotten what happiness even felt like, and I thought that was just going to be my life.
I tried counselling. I tried journaling. I tried different therapies. Some things helped, but nothing really got to the root of what I was carrying.
What I didn’t realise at the time was that I wasn’t just carrying my own emotions.
I’ve always been a deeply sensitive person. I was the friend everyone came to. The person strangers would somehow end up telling their life story to while waiting at a bus stop. I took on everyone else’s emotions without even knowing I was doing it, and somewhere along the way I completely lost myself.
The biggest thing I had to learn wasn’t how to be happier.
It was how to actually feel.
I’d become so disconnected from my emotions that numb felt normal. Learning how to safely feel anger, grief, fear, heartbreak, rage and everything in between was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but it also became one of the most important.
The biggest turning point for me came through Conscious Connected Breathwork.
It was the first time I’d experienced something that helped me release what my body had been holding onto for years. That one experience changed the direction of my life. It eventually led me into the work I do today, alongside Spinal Energetics, Reiki, and sound healing.
Healing hasn’t been perfect. I’ve still had really difficult chapters. I’ve still experienced loss, heartbreak and moments that have tested me.
The difference now is that I don’t run from those emotions anymore. I know how to move through them.
Looking back now, I honestly think the thing I spent years seeing as my biggest weakness in - being so sensitive - is the reason I can do this work. It allows me to sit with people in some of the hardest moments of their lives without trying to fix them or rush them. Just to be there with them.
After living in Canada for several years, I came home to Ireland because I wanted to create the kind of spaces I wish I’d had when I was struggling. Spaces where people could stop holding everything together for a while. Spaces where they didn’t have to keep explaining themselves or replaying every painful story. Spaces where their body could finally let go of what it had been carrying.
Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with well over 1,000 people through one-to-one sessions, retreats, corporate wellbeing programmes and group experiences.
And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this:
Every single person is carrying something.
Sometimes they just need someone to help them feel safe enough to put it down.
That’s why UNBOUND means so much to me.
This isn’t about becoming someone new.
It’s about giving yourself permission to release what’s been weighing you down, to feel what you’ve been avoiding, and to remember who you are underneath all of it.
Because I know what it’s like to believe things will never get better.
And I also know how incredible life can feel when they finally do.

I first discovered yoga in 2001 whilst training as an actress in Dublin. I remember thinking I must be the least relaxed person in the room and I cried the first time I did hero pose!
That was the beginning of a magical journey. I moved to London, sought out a local yoga class and through hell, highwater (and sometimes hangovers) I committed to practise twice a week. Those few hours weekly on my mat became a sanctuary, and through vinyasa yoga I felt myself grow strong in body and mind. A year in Bristol followed and this is where yoga entered my heart.
Working long hours on set and unfurling on my mat at the end of the day was like the most loving hug, an experience of deeper connection which I was longing for, a coming home. I met amazing teachers and yogis and discovered the power of meditation, kundalini yoga, chanting, 5 rhythms, ecstatic dance and mindful movement.
I have now taught yoga, meditation, and breathwork for over a decade. Constantly learning and consistently humbled, I am committed to the evolution of movement and the movement of evolution!
My personal practise is a combination of yoga, dance and creative movement, supported by regular meditation and a willingness to live as turned on and tuned in as I can be. Driven by a love for words and language I weave together poetry and yoga for their powerful translation through the feeling body.
I have travelled the world studying various styles of yoga including Hatha, vinyasa, kundalini, restorative, yoga nidra , pre and postnatal and women's womb yoga.
With a very keen interest in stress and trauma release I studied psychotherapeutic yoga and mindfulness for mental health, post traumatic stress, eating disorders and addiction recovery, qualified by The Minded Institute.
I am also a certified 'Embody Love Movement' facilitator which works with girls and younger women to enhance emotional expression, expose media myths, and change the inner conversation from criticism to kindness, promoting self-worth and purpose.In 2017, I embarked on a year long intensive Women's training in the Sacred Feminine with Jewels Wingfield and went on to assist the proceeding initiation programme. Since then, I have worked extensively with women from all over the globe to empower, educate and embody.
