Women's Wellness Retreat

The Insomnia Clinic founder Kathryn Pinkham is a UK-based sleep specialist who focuses on helping people overcome insomnia and long-term sleep difficulties through non-medication approaches. She is best known for using evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), which addresses the thoughts, habits, and behaviours that can disrupt healthy sleep patterns. Her work is centred on helping individuals rebuild confidence around sleep, reduce anxiety at bedtime, and develop sustainable routines that support deeper, more restorative rest and overall wellbeing.

This retreat is designed for women who feel ready to pause, reset and reconnect with themselves. A dedicated space to calm an overactive nervous system, restore balance and spend time alongside like-minded women who truly understand the challenges of this stage of life.

At the heart of the retreat is the importance of sleep — one of the most powerful foundations of health, energy and longevity. Through expert guidance, education and practical tools, guests will learn how to better understand their sleep patterns, support their body’s natural rhythms and create habits that can be integrated into everyday life long after the retreat ends.

This is more than a few days away; it is an opportunity to reset, recharge and leave with a deeper understanding of your health, your body and the changes that can help you feel your best.

This retreat is perfect for individuals experiencing common sleep difficulties such as insomnia, night waking or poor sleep quality. It may not be suitable for those with more complex sleep or mental health conditions. This includes individuals with severe mental health conditions (such as severe depression, PTSD or bipolar disorder), untreated sleep disorders such as narcolepsy or sleep apnoea (unless accompanied by insomnia symptoms). If you are unsure, please get in touch to discuss your individual circumstances before booking.

During the Retreat you will learn movement, mindfulness and techniques to help with sleep issues that commonly occur through perimenopause, menopause, stress and lifestyle changes. Kathryn will review your sleep assessment and guide you through two personalised workshops, alongside Q&A sessions, providing tailored advice based on your individual sleep patterns and challenges.

During the program you will learn:

• Why sleep problems develop and persist

• Common patterns such as difficulty falling asleep or waking at 3am

• The role of stress, hormones and an overactive mind

• Practical, evidence-based techniques to improve sleep

• A personalised sleep plan for you to follow.

Sleep isn’t one-size-fits-all, and many people struggle despite doing all the “right” things. This retreat is designed to help you move beyond generic advice and develop a personalised, practical approach to improving your sleep.

The retreat runs from Monday 27 January to Friday 31 January 2027 (4 nights, 5 days). This is a fixed-date event and cannot be attended on alternative dates.
