What our hosts and guests are saying
Weâve had the privilege of working with incredible retreat hosts whoâve turned their visions into reality. And hosted amazing people in incredible locations. Hereâs what theyâre saying about their experience with Rest & Receive.
Spending the day with Emma and learning from her vast retreat experience was so valuable. A small mistake on costings or organisation when hosting a retreat can have big ramifications, and thanks to Emma I have so much confidence in how to host a retreat professionally, fabulously and to make a profit too.
- Nikki Ellis, Personal Trainer and Life Coach, Retreat Day Attendee
Rest & Receive is a beautiful connection back to self. Thereâs something magical about being in person in a safe space, sharing your dreams and hopes with like-minded women. The opportunity to use other women as a sounding board was invaluableâit brought clarity and a sense of belonging that I couldnât have achieved on my own. The retreat was truly transformative.
â Leisha Major, IT Business Owner, Retreat Attendee
A Rest & Receive retreat is an all-in-one experience that provides business clarity, networking opportunities, and space to simply relax and reconnect with yourself. From the intimate atmosphere to the added value of a professional photoshoot, I walked away with clearer direction, new friendships, and a renewed sense of purpose.
â Rebecca Haddad, Freelance Writer, Retreat Attendee
My experience with the retreat day with Emma was great! Not only that she brought in her energy but also you can just see she walks and talks the bleisure life and you can see experience the retreat structure she preaches while in the retreat day. Overall a great investment!
