Me-time Day Retreat for Mums

This day retreat on Waiheke Island is designed exclusively for the mums.

For the mums and mums-to-be craving more time to themselves, but can’t seem to make it happen. The mums feeling overwhelmed by the demands of life, struggling to find balance - yes, there is a lot asked of us and it's ok to feel this way.

Whether you are a new mum or you've been at it for a while, this retreat will give you the time to explore, move, relax and just be. It is your time to breathe, stay still, join in workshops, connect with other like-minded mums. Because when you’re happier and more relaxed, your relationships and children can only benefit. A little self-care goes a very long way to ensuring you’re operating at full capacity.

This retreat is about about a little down-time, quiet contemplation, exploring the notions of self-care as mums and within the limited time we have available daily. And as always, we will share beautiful meals around the table with a laugh and connection with other like-minded people while still leaving you enough time to unwind and relax.

Vassia Simou | organiser - host

Vassia has a background in marketing and events. Having worked for luxury brands in fashion and beauty in Athens, London and Auckland for over 15 years, she has a keen eye for detail and knows what makes a good event - its people. Her journey with yoga started in 2012 and although back then it was only a form of exercise for her, with time she found that the practice has offered her so much more in her wellness journey. And of course as a true Greek, what she loves the most is bringing people together. So just like this Koukoulee was born three years ago.
