“I wasn’t sure what to expect but this retreat has completely changed the trajectory of motherhood for me. The space, sessions offered and incredible support I received have left me feeling so much more established and empowered in my identity as a mother and helped me to integrate aspects of myself that I had thought I lost after birthing my baby. It has been so special to share this experience with my baby! I was anxious before coming on retreat but would recommend all mothers to give this wonderful gift to yourself and your babies and book without hesitation.” - C & K, Sept 2023

“I just wanted to say from the bottom of my heart the biggest THANK YOU!!!! I didn’t know two nights could have such a transformative effect. I’ve returned to real life so much calmer, clearer, more connected to myself and my baby. What a true gift you give women at such a fragile, vulnerable time. I’d love to come to your next Mamaheaven” - J & L, April 2023

Thank you so much for the most amazing few days. I didn’t know what to expect, but it definitely exceeded anything I could have imagined. Everyone was so kind and welcoming from the moment I arrived. I absolutely loved all the sessions, from morning yoga (I wish I could start my day like that everyday), to the Mama Circles, where it felt like a very safe space to share and feel understood. I had one of the best massages I think I’ve ever had and enjoyed the delicious food at every meal time, I felt utterly spoilt. It was such a perfect set up. Thank you so so much. I would definitely love to come back soon for another retreat

“This is a bit of heaven. It’s a community of women supporting, caring and nurturing other women. I feel lighter afterwards (though maybe not from all the amazing food I ate!) I feel refreshed and abit more free. I felt like I was understood. Great to meet other mums and share experiences and just be together. A lovely place and space to spend time with your baby. Thank you Mamaheaven.”

“I booked Mamaheaven because I wanted some time to enjoy my baby girl without the daily chores getting in the way. But I gained so much more than that. The few days we spent at Florence House were blissful, inspiring and surprising… Within minutes of checking into my luxury accommodation I truly relaxed for the first time since my beloved baby landed in my arms, six months previously. Relaxing came easy because we were in a beautiful, calm setting, surrounded by a team of amazing women with innate nurturing skills. And after creating a small being, bringing them into the world safely and nourishing them that’s EXACTLY what all new mothers need: a chance to slow down, be cooked for, listened to and told that we’re doing a great job. What surprised me about Mama Heaven is that once cocooned in that safe, nurturing environment fears and joys of motherhood, that I was entirely oblivious to, came bubbling up. Expressing those emotions and being acknowledged provided some deep healing, and helped make my new role as a mother a bit less scary and even more joyful. Thank you Mamaheaven.”

“The retreat was the break I needed whilst being close to my baby. The highlight for me was the supportive company of females and mothers. It helped me lose fear of leaving my baby in a creche and appreciate the joy of being with my baby when I am refreshed rather than strained. The yoga classes were tailored with an understanding of what mothers need. The food was delicious (I am not vegetarian but loved it). Totally worth the money.”

"I had the most incredible experience at Mama Heaven. I felt so cared for, respected and understood. Every aspect of the retreat is so well considered from time to chill and be papered a little, time to meet other mums and to most importantly to reflect upon our new roles as mothers, from talking in ‘Mama Circle’ about our births to the life changes parenthood brings in a positive, constructive and meaningful way. I also had an amazing time with my little girl, beautiful memories to treasure in the future, dancing together, walking by the sea and doing baby massage, just magical. I came away feeling like me again, so much more relaxed, calm and centred. I feel like I can be a better mum now I have has time and support to reflect. Its had a real impact on our lives as a family, can’t recommend the retreat enough."

Quite simply a beautiful experience and full of wonderful memories. I was unsure if I would be able to actually “switch off and relax” but due to the magical staff and perfect planning (babies being loved and cared for so well and amazing food among other things) I had a wonderful time with my baby son and enjoyed meeting other Mums in similar positions to me. I would recommend it to everyone – in fact can you start a DadaHeaven please?

“I have often thought I should write a testimonial about my time at Mamaheaven. For the purpose here, I will keep it brief because to detail the ripples sent out into my life after that long weekend would mean I’d need to write an essay. I arrived at Mamaheaven with my fourth baby in my arms. I was good at this Mothering thing by then having been in the throes of it for almost a decade! From the outside I think I gave off a good impression of knowing what I was doing and how I wanted to do it. However, underneath all of that front, I was struggling."
