Perimenopause
Confidence Retreat
Restore your body
Reclaim your mind
Return to yourself
13 - 15 November 2026
Join me and EmpowerHer Confidence Coaches Jo and Amy, on Dartmoor for our first Perimenopause Confidence Retreat
A space to pause, breathe, and come back to yourself
This exciting collaboration is for women navigating the shifts of perimenopause, burnout, or that quiet and often infuriating sense that somewhere along the way… you got a little lost.
Come to recalibrate, to be cared for and to be held by other women who get it. Guided by me in breath, heat, cold, and deep rest, and Amy and Jo in confidence, neuroscience and midlife transition. We'll reconnect you to your strength, your energy, built around the belief that you are here to thrive, not just survive.
Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer, stronger, and more like you again.
Your future self will thank you for it.

Who is this for?
Reconnect with yourself and find your way back to the woman you know is still there.
This weekend is designed for women moving through perimenopause, burnout, or a season of change - when your body and your mind feels different, your energy shifts, and life asks something new of you.
This isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about learning how to work with your body, not against it.
Through breathwork, cold exposure, movement and sauna, you’ll experience simple but powerful practices that support your nervous system, balance your energy, and help you feel stronger, calmer and more in control again.
The Confidence coaching gives you practical mindset tools using positive psychology and focused understanding about what's been happening to your confidence and what to do about it.
This is a deeply held, women’s only space. A place to be real, to soften, to laugh, to share - and to remember you’re not doing this alone.
Across the weekend we’ll weave in nature, intuitive movement, rest, hiking on the moor, and nourishing vegetarian/vegan food prepared by a brilliant local chef. We’ll be based in a place of complete tranquillity on Dartmoor, with private river access, sauna, and wood burners to keep things cosy.
There will be time to connect, to be quiet, to sit by the fire, and to simply be.
You’ll leave feeling clearer, more grounded, and more like yourself again with a deeper trust in your body, mind and where you’re heading next.

Your hosts
Sara Dance
Sara believes we are all capable of far more than we think.. and she has spent years creating experiences that prove it. As a breathwork and contrast therapy guide, she uses breath, heat and cold to help women regulate their nervous systems, build resilience and reconnect with their own strength. Her sessions are practical, science-backed and always exhilarating. She might even get you in the ice bath. You will probably thank her for it.
Jo Ellicott
Jo is a relationship builder, she can't help it. With over 25 years of client and design management, she has spent a career helping people shift and make things happen across every kind of environment. Co-founder of EmpowerHer, and The Confidence Gym, ICF-accredited and specialist in perimenopause transition, she is endlessly motivated by human potential and possibilities. She is the kind of coach who rolls up her sleeves and works alongside you rather than at you.
Amy Chadney
Amy studies confidence - specifically what happens to it when women hit midlife, burnout, perimenopause, late-diagnosed ADHD, or all four at once. She builds things that help. Co-founder of EmpowerHer, creator of The Confidence Gym, ICF- accredited with a specialism in neurodiversity - Amy understands from the inside what it feels like to have your sense of self completely rewired, and how to find your way back to something stronger. As a practising artist she brings a creative and deeply human approach to her coaching.
