You catch glimpses of her.
In the moments when you're deeply honest. When your guard drops. When you stop performing and stop trying to be who everyone else needs you to be.
But somewhere between who you are and how you're living, something keeps pulling you back. Back to old roles and beliefs. Back to old expectations. Back to the patterns that once protected you but now keep you small.
This retreat is an invitation to see those patterns clearly. To feel what you've been too busy to feel. To release what no longer belongs. And to reclaim the woman you've been all along.
All whilst in the middle of autumn, when the land itself is letting go.
The quiet weight
You're building things. Leading things. Holding things together. You are ambitious and capable and you've worked incredibly hard to get here. And yet there are inherited scripts running quietly in the background. You may recognize some of these.
01
Capable, accomplished, holding it all together, and quietly wondering: is this it? Is there more? And why can't I access it?
02
Managing your image, your emotions, everyone else's experience of you. A low hum of hypervigilance underneath everything that, after so long, just feels like who you are.
03
Strategies formed years ago by your family, your culture, your earliest sense of what was safe. They got you here. They are also the reason you feel stuck, exhausted, and disconnected from the part of you that actually knows what she wants.
04
Comparing. Achieving. Proving. Disconnected from the inner scorecard that would actually tell you if you're alive, if you're authentic, if you're connected to what matters.
05
Of being seen. Of taking up space. Of wanting what you want and saying it out loud. Of finding out that what you actually need requires you to change something you've been avoiding.
These patterns dissolve when you slow down long enough to understand what they're protecting you from, feel what's underneath, and respond to yourself differently. Over time, your mind and body learn that they no longer have to work so hard to keep you safe.
The vision
When women lead from this place, they heal themselves, the people around them, and the collective.

The Arc
Autumn is the most visible season of letting go. The trees release what they no longer need because holding on through winter would drain the very thing that keeps them alive. That is the arc of this weekend.
Release
What are you still holding onto that's draining your energy? What beliefs, roles, agreements, and protective patterns have you carried that once served you but are now weighing you down?
Reclaim
Once you let go of what isn't yours, what's left? What's been growing underneath all that managing and performing? Autumn clears the space for what is actually true to become visible.
I
Check-in between 2 and 5pm on Friday. An opening circle at 5:30, dinner at 7. A first honest naming of what you came to release.
II
Breathwork and somatic practice. A working session on the emotional patterns and inherited scripts running in the background. A ritual to move what you have been too busy to feel.
III
Parts work, visualization, and pairs work on the woman underneath all the managing. Open hours to walk the land, sit in the sauna, rest, or connect. Dinner is long and unhurried.
IV
Closing practice and integration planning so this doesn't evaporate on the drive home. You leave with practices, a clearer inner scorecard, and a 1:1 coaching call waiting for you one month out.
What clients say
“Working with Roslyn has helped me find a clear sense of direction again and her support has helped me move forward with confidence and practical tools I can rely on. She’s shown me how to approach each challenge with a fresh perspective, which has made all the difference in my journey. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, I now feel empowered and motivated to keep pushing forward. I’m grateful for the clarity and growth I’ve gained through our work together, and I feel ready to take on what’s next with a renewed sense of purpose.”
“As a working mom of two who has spent time working with several coaches over the last decade, I can say with conviction that my time with Roslyn was the most transformative. Through coaching, Roslyn helped me unpack the deep-rooted beliefs driving my burnout, particularly around money, work, and self worth. She guided me to explore what I truly need during this period and showed me how to take back my agency as a working parent. I learned to detach my self-worth from my work performance and create space for myself in ways that feel aligned and achievable. I am truly better equipped to navigate this challenging but rewarding chapter and incredibly grateful for her support. I can’t recommend her enough to any high-performing leaders who are feeling stretched thin.”
“Roslyn provides a compassionate, judgment-free space where I can unpack everything I am feeling and figure out what is really going on underneath it all. She helped me reconnect with what’s truly important to me, clarify my values, and set goals that align with them—along with a solid plan to make those goals happen. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve learned to prioritize my self-care, make real progress in both my personal and professional life, and truly see the value and impact I bring—not just in my work but as a human. If you’re looking for a coach who wholeheartedly believes in you, challenges the fears and negative stories holding you back, and helps you envision something bigger, I cannot recommend Roslyn more. Realizing that YOU are worth investing in, is a pretty special place to get to.”
“Working with Cristina has been truly transformative. Throughout the program, I was able to go deeper into self-exploration and gain a clearer understanding of what my most expansive, authentic self looks like. It gave me the tools to start building a life that feels truly aligned. Since the program ended, I've been navigating the major transition of moving countries after a decade and so many of the foundational insights and inner resources I'm drawing on now were built during our time together. Thank you, Cristina, and to everyone in the group for holding such a powerful space.”
“I reached out for coaching support from Cristina because at the time, I was feeling completely disconnected from what I really wanted, feeling disengaged with my career and not knowing how to deal with the stress this brought on. I thought her approach to regulating the nervous system and identifying what is holding you back have been brilliant. I've been given the tools to shift my mindset and in the 3 months we've worked together, I've been able to create opportunities for myself that I would have shyed away from previously. If you're looking for support to untangle career confusion and reconnect with yourself, I'd highly recommend Cristina!”
“I had reached the point of no clarity on where to go next, what skills I brought to the table, or how to navigate these dynamic times involving AI. I've learnt to trust my intuition, act deliberately, and accept that progression isn't linear, the biggest shift has been learning to trust myself far more than I did before. Cristina keeps you honest without it ever feeling punitive. She's genuinely adaptable, meeting you where you are rather than where a rigid programme expects you to be. I'm still taking the steps, but for the first time I feel confident they're the right ones. She'll give you something far more useful than a career plan. She'll teach you how to trust yourself.”
“Your offering is a skilful blend of structure and intuition, of the masculine and feminine. I feel that your approach to coaching deeply respects the unknowable and uncontrollable aspects of life ('as human beings, we are less of a who and more of a when. We are a moment in time'). Yet you also balance this out, and you have designed an offering to help a person invoke tangible change in the here and now, with the parts of our lives that we do have control over. I will also say that you are very boundaried as a coach, which was one of the highlights about working with you. You maintained a healthy distance from me for the duration of our coaching programme which kept our relationship clean, clear, and free of enmeshment. We took true responsibility for ourselves in our respective roles in the relationship and this supported me with trusting you.”
What you'll walk away with
A clearer picture of the emotional patterns, protective strategies, and unconscious agreements that have been running your life, and a different way to relate to them when they show up.
Through somatic work and embodied ritual, you move what has been held: the grief, the anger, the desire, the tenderness, through the body.
Stepping into the you that knows what she wants and is willing to stand in it regardless of what's happening externally.
For the moments life pulls you back into the old patterns, tools to help you stay anchored in your authentic Self.
Relationships formed through honesty, vulnerability, and witnessing that outlast the weekend.
A felt sense of what you're stepping into, what you're leaving behind, and what your life looks like when you author it instead of just reacting to it.

Included
This is not a wellness retreat. No detoxes, no 6am alarms, no forced yoga classes. Instead: a small circle of women, a beautiful home in the Hudson Valley, and the space to finally put down what you've been carrying.

Your facilitators
We have both lived the experience of feeling underexpressed in our gifts and scared to be seen for who we really are. We've lived from protection and proving. We've done the inner work and taken the risks to move into a more aligned, expressive, and energizing way of working and living. We don't have it all figured out either. We're on the path with you.
