What an amazing, entirely essential idea for knackered mums. The Retreat for Mothers is just that – a place for busy, frazzled mothers who deserve a day to get their mojo back. Can I move in permanently please?

Free of demands, decisions and interruptions, you get a total spa experience plus – if you would like it – time and expertise from Kirsten, parenting consultant and postnatal specialist to help you recalibrate. There’s also a wholemeal, nourishing lunch, largely veggie and organic where possible to give you the kickstart you need. Kirsten also runs various workshops, seminars, courses and classes on everything from calm parenting (where do I sign up?) to weaning to optimizing your fertility.
