A little about Vicky & Serenity The Garden Retreat

I’m Vicky, a mum of two and the founder of Serenity The Garden Retreat.

My journey into holistic therapies began in 2019, after experiencing a period of emotional highs and lows that eventually started to show physically too.

Like so many women, I found myself trying to hold everything together in an increasingly chaotic world. I was juggling being a mum, running a home, working and managing the day-to-day demands of life. Somewhere along the way, I began putting my own emotional needs to one side.

But emotional overload and burnout are very real.

Slowly but surely, I realised that self-care wasn’t simply an option — it was a necessity.

As I began making time for myself, learning to slow down and reconnect with my body and mind, something changed. Gradually, I started to feel like myself again — more balanced, lighter and more grounded, both physically and emotionally.

That experience inspired the birth of Serenity Holistics, and ultimately Serenity The Garden Retreat.

My mission is simple: to create a safe, nurturing space where women can slow down, breathe, pause and reconnect with themselves.

Over the years, women have come to Serenity for many different reasons and at different stages of their lives — including times of hormonal change, anxiety, burnout, fatigue, bereavement and inflammation.

Every woman’s journey is different, and that is why I believe in looking at the whole person, not simply the symptom.

Holism is about recognising that our emotional wellbeing, physical body and state of mind are all interconnected. Sometimes, we simply need permission to stop, breathe and listen to what our body and mind are telling us.

I have created Serenity The Garden Retreat as a calm, welcoming space where you can come exactly as you are. A place to step away from the demands of everyday life, let go of the outside noise and take some much-needed time for yourself.

My aim is to support the whole person — not just the symptom.

Because you deserve time to pause, You deserve time to breathe, and you deserve to feel like you again.
