Sanctum is a private retreat, held in my home in the heart of the countryside, designed to give you the time, space and guidance to reconnect with your vision, your values and yourself.
It’s not a workshop. It’s not a mastermind. It’s not about pushing harder.
It’s about reorienting yourself at a deeper level – so that the next chapter of your business (and life) flows from a place that feels true.
I host just a handful of guests each time, in my home, on my land – where I’ve built businesses, raised children, and grown a life that truly fits.
You’ll sleep in a shepherd hut, soak in the stillness, and take time – real time – to feel into what’s next.
I will guide you through it. But the insight will come from you.
Sanctum is for women ready to cross a threshold.
You won’t come back with a “90-day plan.”You’ll come back with something better: your own direction. Your own rhythm. And the clarity to lead from the inside out.
This isn't a bootcamp with a fixed agenda. It's a one-of-a-kind experience, shaped entirely around the women who attend.
“It’s magical. It’s a really special time on your own to recalibrate and think about what you want out of life.”

Who is Sanctum for?
Sanctum is for seasoned entrepreneurs who’ve reached a quiet edge.
You’ve done well. You’ve grown something solid.
But now you’re asking:
- What does the next version of my business look like-and what does it require of me?
- Can I lead and grow without giving more than I have to give?
- What do I want my work to serve in this next season of life?
- Is there a way to keep building… without burning?
You don’t need more content or more doing.
You need clearer vision. Honest reflection. And space to feel your way forward.
If that’s where you are – Sanctum will meet you there.
What happens at Sanctum?
The exact shape of Sanctum is deliberately kept quiet. You’ll know why, when you arrive.
Here’s what I can tell you:
- You’ll be welcomed into a quiet, spacious home environment, far from the noise.
- You’ll spend your days in honest conversation, deep rest, and quiet recalibration.
- You’ll be guided through powerful, intuitive sessions-focused on vision, values, and the decisions that change everything.
- You’ll have space. Real, uninterrupted space. To walk, reflect, journal, sleep, think.
- You’ll be seen. Properly. Held in the presence of women who are walking a similar path, with no agenda and no performance requirements
There will be nourishing food, thoughtful comforts, firelight, silence, and just enough structure to keep you grounded as you unfold.
What you leave with is hard to define-but deeply felt.
Guests have described it as “magical,” “transformational,” “coming home to myself,” and”finally seeing what I hadn’t been able to see.”
I’ve built it to do just that.
Guests have described Sanctum as "magical," "transformational," "coming home to myself," and"finally seeing what I hadn’t been able to see."
What you might walk away with...
A deeper sense of alignment in how you lead and live
A personal decision made that had been circling for months
A new business direction-clear, clean, and values-aligned
A vision that excites you again
The realisation that you don’t have to do it like everyone else
The tools to create change from a place of calm, not chaos
Rest. Real rest.
And a plan that makes sense not just on paper-but in your life

“I just wanted to send a heartfelt thank you for such an incredible experience. I honestly can’t believe how much I’ve taken away from the retreat—it was far beyond anything I expected, and I feel so truly grateful to have been part of it.
The pacing was absolutely spot on. There was the perfect balance between deep, focused work and time to rest, reflect, and really absorb everything. It felt like a tiny working model of how to put the Boundary Scout principles into practice, with structure, space, and intention woven into every part of it. That in itself was a huge lesson.
The way you delivered the content was exceptional. You didn’t just share information—you tailored everything to me, my business, and my level of experience so that every session felt completely relevant and actionable. That kind of bespoke insight is rare, and it made the whole experience incredibly valuable.
More than anything, I felt completely in the safe hands of an expert. The depth of your knowledge, your generosity with your time, and the sheer quality of what you shared were beyond what I could have hoped for. I walked away not just with ideas, but with an actual vision, values, methodology, and a clear strategy to move forward. That alone is priceless.
And then there was the hospitality, which was on another level entirely. The care, attention to detail, and thoughtfulness in every part of the retreat made it so much more than just a learning experience—it was restorative, supportive, and completely above and beyond.”

A word from Emma...
I created Sanctum for women like us – the ones who’ve built businesses with grit, care, and vision, but still find themselves wondering how to make space for their own life inside it all.
You don’t have to tear it down to evolve.
You don’t have to do more to feel fulfilled.
You simply need time, truth, and the right kind of guidance.
That’s what I offer.
Not a formula–I offer a quiet fire to sit beside while you find your way again.
I would be honoured to welcome you.

About Emma
I’ve built and sold businesses, raised a family, and found my way through seasons of expansion, contraction, and quiet reinvention.
I’ve learned how to lead without losing myself-and how to hold space for other women to do the same. I don’t believe in hustle or hype. I believe in firelight conversations, practical wisdom, and helping you see what’s true for you.
At Sanctum, I guide from experience-but I walk beside you, not in front. This is where clarity returns, direction unfolds, and you remember the kind of leader you were always becoming.
Sanctum is calm, confident guidance for seasoned founders at a turning point.
You’ve built the business. You’ve carried the weight. But now, something in you is asking for a different way of leading-and living.
My retreat mentoring is for women who are ready to shift. Not through a complete overhaul, but through deeply considered, values-led change. Together, we’ll work through what comes next for your business, your energy, and your life-in a way that makes sense for where you are now.
