What do you need right now? Relaxation or activation?
This is the question I ask my clients, many of whom want to know my opinion on how to choose between business retreats and health retreats.
They’re often unsure which holds the most value for them to attend, or even run themselves.
Having run multiple retreats through my Inner Circle, I've seen firsthand the impact that a well structured business retreat can have. I also know how rejuvenating a health retreat centred on self-care can be for busy professionals.
Choosing the right type of retreat can be transformative for you and your business - so let’s have a look at how to make the right decision for you, your wellbeing and your progress.
We’ll explore how business and health retreats differ in what they focus on, the areas of growth they inspire and how to choose the one that best serves you at this moment in your life.
Both retreats offer unique benefits, contingent on your current needs and goals. It is vital to be honest with yourself: is it time for rest or rethinking?
Whatever your choice, the essential step is to act. Whether you’re drawn to the deep rest of a health retreat or the invigorating strategy of a business retreat, I encourage you to listen to your instincts and pursue what you truly need now.
If you’re ready to propel your business ambitions, I invite you to explore my Inner Circle retreats. Let’s work together to create the clarity and momentum you need for sustainable growth.

Walking through the rainforest in complete silence wasn't just about relaxation, it was about gaining new perspectives on our businesses. It helps attendees and guests at the retreat realize that they had been missing opportunities that were really close to hand because of the busyness with which they were running their businesses.
