The Space was created from a deeply personal journey.
Eight years ago, whilst pregnant with my second child, I was diagnosed as type 1 diabetic – a life long auto immune condition. It was at that point everything shifted for me, and when I say EVERYTHING, I mean it!
I discovered through my own experiences that the answer was quiet simple – the message from my body was to slow down and listen. I also built an awareness of toxin exposer, learning about what I was putting on and into my body, how I was moving through my days, and who I was surrounding myself with. In slowing down I discovered my truth, that freedom doesn’t come from doing more. Freedom comes from choosing differently.
I’m here to help you step off the relentless treadmill of life and to discover that there is an alternative. One that is rooted in nature, guided by the flow of the seasons, and grounded in genuine human connection.
For me, my own vulnerability transformed into one of my greatest gifts. As I navigated the uncertainty and leaned into self-discovery, I found huge confidence in authenticity. I realised all that had come to challenge me had in fact made me.
The resilience gave me the solid foundation for growth. Once things had settled for me, and I was learning to live along side my condition – I felt a huge pull towards purpose, I wanted to help others find peace and happiness through slowing down, connecting to nature and really tuning into our bodies.
When I created The Space, I approached the renovation with intention guided by intuition. Leaning into intuition has pathed a path of confidence I didn’t know I needed. Against all the odds I pushed boundaries and budgets, colour drenched rooms, hunted shops and markets for sustainable décor to compliment the Victorian villa – and it was liberating to finally listen to my soul. I added modern bathrooms with a classic twist, every detail considered.
At the heart of The Space Retreats lies a philosophy Leanne calls the ripple effect. By collaborating with aligned practitioners, businesses, and brands, she believes each retreat can create waves of positive impact - reaching far beyond a single weekend. Together, these partnerships bring depth, expertise, and a shared vision for helping others find peace and harmony.

My story is not one of perfection, but of courage to question. My journey at times has been very lonely, however I have discovered you hear clearly in the dark. I have created The Space to help others feel safe whilst staying vulnerable, seen whilst shedding layers and supported through growth. The invitation is open for you to Come Home to Yourself.
The invitation is open. Claim your space for renewal.
