Words Women Have Shared
Over more than two decades I’ve had the privilege of helping women move beyond anxiety and depression and
reconnect with themselves, life and joy, whether through private retreats in Devon or the small group retreat in Türkiye.
These are some of their experiences:
“I arrived feeling stuck and lost, as though I was in a black hole with no way out. Demi put me at ease immediately and helped me find my way out of anxiety and depression to a whole new trajectory. It was the best decision I ever made.”
Michelle L (Devon)
“Demi’s week-long retreat was completely eye opening and life changing. After years of anxiety, depression and feeling stuck in life, I was skeptical anything could really help. But this experience went far beyond anything I expected, and showed me that change is absolutely possible. The workshops were incredibly well organised and went straight to the core of what I’d been struggling with, in a way no other therapy or self help book has ever done. I feel like a new person as I am making changes in my life I never thought possible. Set in the beautiful surroundings of Dalyan, the retreat also offered a perfect space to step away from everyday life and fully immerse in the process. I would recommend this experience wholeheartedly to anyone who feels lost or stuck — you truly won’t regret it.”

“Booking time with Demi was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The insight, tools and support she provides are extraordinary — truly worth every penny.”

If You’re Wondering Whether This Could Help You...
Many women arrive feeling unsure whether anything can really help — and leave feeling lighter, clearer and more hopeful

Small Group Retreats in Türkiye
These are the experiences of women who joined the small, intimate group retreat in Türkiye.
I am so glad I chose this retreat out of the many I was considering.
The initial complimentary call with Demi—offered with no pressure—was incredibly helpful, and I immediately felt understood, which made the decision to book an easy one.
I had no idea how beautiful Türkiye was. Evenings spent dining by the river at different restaurants were the perfect close to each thought-provoking and inspiring day.
The workshops opened my eyes to things I didn’t even realise I needed, and have given me a genuine new lease of life. The boat trips were absolutely stunning and added such a sense of adventure and new experience.
I returned home feeling re-energised, re-focused, re-connected, and re-inspired. I am so glad I went.

I’ve been on several retreats over the years, but none have come close to this.
The depth and quality of the workshops were excellent—not only enlightening, but truly transformational. I experienced profound shifts that I haven’t found anywhere else.
I particularly valued the individual sessions with the Compassion Key work, which had a powerful impact on me.
Everything was thoughtfully and seamlessly organised—from the workshops, to the beautiful evenings by the river, to the
wonderful excursions, to the care and attention throughout. The take-home materials are also incredibly useful for ongoing
support.
A top-class retreat, and outstanding value. I only wish I’d done it sooner.

II honestly cannot express how grateful I am that I came on this retreat.
The quality of the work is unlike anything I’ve experienced before. Having tried many different types of therapy, I can say
this approach is truly unique—and incredibly effective.
The retreat experience was wonderful too. The villa was lovely, the trips were sensational, the food was abundant, and the
overall care and attention to detail was much appreciated.
Demi is fantastic—deeply empathetic, understanding, and able to make even profound inner work feel accessible and
achievable.
If you are even slightly considering this, my advice is simple: just book it. You will never look back.
Maggie C
The workshops were planned in a comprehensive way with time built in to practice, meditate and reflect.
The boat trips were a fabulous addition, giving me time to soak up the beautiful surroundings and assimilate new perspectives.
I highly encourage anyone seeking a deeper understanding of themselves to take this opportunity to work with Demi. You are warmly welcomed, supported, and expertly guided to dig deep, reframe your outlook, and truly connect with your feelings in a grounded way.
I came away with practices to build my self worth and confidence and powerful tools to reprogramme my thinking. A truly enriching experience.
