Balance Breathe Believe

27/05/2026

It's been a while to I'm saying hello.....
Hey I’m Lucy, I’m a qualified yoga teacher, Naturopathic Nutritionist and Menopause Health Expert from the Pennines in Yorkshire. I have a huge passion for health and wellbeing plus exploring nature and outdoor activities - getting outside and blowing life’s cobwebs away.
The whole of my working career has been as a health educator and communications professional in the corporate world but in December 2015 I made a decision that would change my life forever. I handed in my notice and moved to SW France with my family.
It was during this time that I founded Balance Breathe and Believe…on a mission to promote and spread health and wellbeing to all I encounter, to share my love of travel and nature and to break down confidence barriers that prevent women from getting outside into this wider beautiful world, trying new things and meeting new people.
I’ve been running retreats since 2017 in Morocco, Spain, Portugal, Italy and France. I’ve traveled to many many places with my career and would think nothing of grabbing my rucksack and landing somewhere remote tomorrow! I know it’s not like that for many, especially solo women, but if I can get you excited enough to jump on a plane knowing you’ll be in safe hands, to explore in nature, to eat great food and fuel properly, to move, to be re-energised and to share this moment in life with other like minded women - then I’m happy and I think you’ll be happy too!
Why join me on retreat?
You get access to me and my expertise. I find that running something specific like a nutrition or menopause retreat is often too much for most people - at the end of the day we just want a few key midlife health niggles sorting, to know we are not alone in those niggles and then to relax, to connect and find some peace of mind and joy - to get on with life!
So that’s what I offer - insights, added value and joy!
If you fancy joining me in the Malagan hills next April '27 then say hello and I'll send you more info.

Ah - Just back from my Porto Spring retreat - what a blast! A great group, up for some fun and laughter, great weather, hot and sunny mostly, fab yogis and wonderful guests all round - I loved it!

I was lucky enough to take a week over all - spending a few days in one of my new favourite cities Porto! So much to see - we ate, we drank, pastel de nata'd like they were going out of fashion! We yoga'd a lot, hiked a lot, basked in the sunshine, dodged snakes, dined like kings and had a really great time - thank you all for making this retreat so much fun! You were truly great company.

Great to also see my friend of 20+ years @ who popped up from near Lisbon and many family familiar return retreaters too.

Massive thanks to Paulo and Theresa who truly looked after us, faultless accommodation in their ancient farmstead, fireside yoga space and their own wine in an evening - what super great hosts! Thank you.

Can't wait to do another one.
However, with the state of international travel at the moment and world affairs in general I have decide to postpone my October retreat in the Malagan hills, to April 2027. But more info on that to come soon for when things are brighter.

If you fancy joining me on retreat with fun, like-minded people, up for a laugh doing yoga and hiking in nature then drop me a hello, let's connect.

Retreats are a great passion of mine - I love nothing more that packing a case and setting off with a sense of adventure, a spring in my step and sunshine ahead.

I love bringing groups of women together to share my passion of travel, of opening eyes to new experiences, new sights, new cultures and foods but also testing myself a little.....spending time with new people, people who also like what I like - hiking, yoga, wellbeing, health and the outdoors. I love enabling women to get out and travel and breathe.

I love the space that travel - intentional travel with a purpose - gives the brain and the nervous system - a well deserved break and a sense of distance from the hum drum of the day to day, the roles we play.

I'm upping the ante on my retreats - I love them so much!
I'm sharing details of my upgraded pages on a new system - and I'd love your feedback/ thoughts as I step into this new refreshed chapter....I'd love to bring you along with me for the journey.

If you like it - and my retreats resonate with you then please follow me, drop me a note, share it wider with friends etc ....we can chat more and I'd love you to join me on retreat in Andalusia, October 2026.

October 2026 | Andalusia Retreat for Women 45+
There comes a season in life when you stop rushing… and start choosing.
Choosing depth over noise. Strength over pressure. Joy over obligation.

This October 2026, I’m inviting women 45+ to join me in breathtaking Andalusia, in the south of Spain, for a few blissful days of yoga, hiking, connection, and renewal under wide open skies.

Why this retreat — and why now?
Because this chapter of life is powerful. Your body deserves movement that supports it, not punishes it. Your mind deserves space to breathe. Your spirit deserves adventure.

Imagine… Morning yoga as the sun rises over the hills. Guided hikes through the Andalusian countryside, surrounded by olive groves and mountain views. Long, nourishing meals. Real conversations with women who get it. Time to reflect, reset, and reconnect with yourself.

This isn’t about “getting away.” It’s about coming home — to your strength, your confidence, and your next chapter.
If you’re 45+ and craving: - Energy without burnout - Movement without comparison - Connection without competition - Adventure with intention then this retreat was created for you.

October 2026. Andalusia. Your time. Click through here:
