a mother and daughter retreat (11 - 16 years)
Something special is coming... May 2027
The teenage years can be some of the most rewarding, and the most challenging, years of parenting.
One minute you're laughing together, the next, you're wondering how conversations became one-word answers, eye rolls or misunderstandings.
Your relationship will change as your daughter's priorities (and hormones) change, but you can build on the strongest foundations.
The Power of Us is an overnight retreat designed to help mothers and daughters reconnect, communicate and create memories that strengthen their relationship for years to come.
Set in beautiful countryside accommodation, this isn't about fixing a broken relationship, it's about protecting a good one before life gets too busy.
Imagine leaving with...
-
Face ache from laughing together
-
The tools to have the conversations that matter... together
-
Memories that belong just to the two of you.
-
A stronger relationship that continues long after the retreat ends.
What to expect
Every part of the retreat will be intentionally designed to balance fun, relaxation and meaningful connection.
Throughout your stay, you'll enjoy experiences such as:
-
Guided coaching sessions for mums and daughters.
-
Separate sessions tailored to each age group.
-
Creative activities.
-
Laughter, connection and shared experiences.
-
Beautiful countryside accommodation.
-
Time to relax, reflect and simply enjoy being together.
There is no pressure, just a warm, welcoming space where relationships can deepen naturally.
Please note: this isn't a "separate rooms, see you at breakfast" kind of retreat. Every room except Stable One has one bed; a Double or a King, that you'll share with your daughter. Some of our best conversations happen at midnight, lights off, guard down. That's the magic.
Welcome to The Power of Us
An overnight retreat created for mums and daughters to reconnect, laugh, talk and simply enjoy being together.
No partners.
No work.
No distractions.
Just intentional time together in the beautiful Essex countryside.
Think campfire conversations that go somewhere real. Activities designed to bring you closer, not simply keep you busy. Time to laugh, talk, and remember why you love doing life together.
This isn't a spa day, or just another night away. Every activity has been carefully designed to help you reconnect, laugh together, build confidence and create memories that last long after the weekend ends. It's about both of you reconnecting with the joy of laughter and the beauty in each other.

Why me
I'm a relationship coach, mum of two daughters and founder of TeamYOU Coaching. I've spent the last two decades working with teenagers, and more recently parents, helping families strengthen their relationships through practical tools, honest conversations and a lot of laughter.
I created The Power of Us because I know how easy it is to spend every day together without really connecting. This retreat gives you the time, space and guidance to create memories you'll both carry home.

On the day This is a space for connection, so we ask that everyone arrives ready to be present and to look after the space and each other. We reserve the right to decline or end a booking if behaviour is inappropriate for the setting, this is rare, but it's here for everyone's peace of mind. 7.

Our promise to you This is an intentionally small retreat, with just seven families, so every mum and daughter has the space to feel seen, supported and genuinely connected.
