THIS ISN'T YOUR AVERAGE WELLNESS RETREAT.
TFWE was created for the women who spend most of their lives looking after everyone else. The women juggling careers, businesses, motherhood, endless responsibilities and the mental load of modern life… whilst quietly running on empty behind the scenes. As a Women’s Hormonal Health Nutritionist, I wanted to create something that felt different from your typical wellness retreat or spa day.
Something empowering. More thoughtful. More restorative.
