Work With Emma & the Rest & Receive Team
Design and deliver retreats that are not only exceptional, but profitable and sustainable within your business.
Explore Your Next StepMost retreats look incredible from the outside.
Beautiful locations.
Full groups.
Amazing experiences.
But behind the scenes, many are:
- Â breaking even
- running at a loss
- or taking far more time and energy than expected
Even established business owners often find themselves:
- unsure how to price properly
- overthinking decisions
- piecing things together as they go
- or putting it off because it feels bigger than expectedÂ
We’ve supported retreats that have gone on to sell out, scale, and become a consistent revenue stream within our clients’ businesses.
You don’t need more information.
You need the right next step and the support to get there.
Where You Are Right Now
You’ll likely recognise yourself in one of these:
You’ve been thinking about running a retreat
You have the idea.
You know it would work for your business or your clients.
But you’re not sure:
- where to start
- what it should include
- how it actually works behind the scenes
- how to make it profitable
You don’t want to waste time or money figuring it out the hard way.
You’re planning a retreat and want to do it properly
You’re already moving.
You might have:
- a destination or venue in mind
- a concept or audience
- pieces starting to come together
But you’re asking:
- Am I pricing this right?
- What should I include or leave out?
- How do I structure this properly?
- What am I missing?
You want clarity and expert guidance as you build.
You’re ready to move and want to get this done
You don’t want to spend months going back and forth.
You want:
- clear decisions
- strong structure
- pricing locked in
- your retreat ready to move
You value speed, clarity and focused support.
You want this handled properly from start to finish
You’re a business, studio, brand or organisation.
You know retreats are valuable, but:
- you don’t have the time
- you don’t want to manage every detail
- you want it done to a high standard
Who Is This For
This work is best suited to business owners, studios, and brands who:
- already have an audience or client base
- understand their business
- are ready to take action
- want to create retreats that are both impactful and profitable

Case Study: From Established Retreat Host to Sold Out India Retreat
Georgina came to us as an experienced retreat host with an established business, a loyal community, and a proven track record of running retreats locally and in Bali. She knew how to create a powerful experience for her clients, but when it came to expanding into India, the scale and complexity felt entirely different.
There were more moving parts, higher financial commitments, and a level of logistical detail that required a different approach. While the vision was clear, the structure behind it needed refinement. She didn’t want to rely on intuition alone or risk getting it wrong in a more complex environment.
Our work together focused on bringing clarity and structure to what she was already doing well. We refined the retreat model, worked through pricing and profitability, and introduced systems that supported both the planning process and the delivery of the experience. This was not about starting again, but about strengthening the foundation so the retreat could operate at a higher level, both experientially and commercially.
With the additional support of our South Asia partner, Indus Bound, the retreat was not only beautifully designed, but professionally executed on the ground. This allowed Georgina to step fully into her role as host, focusing on her clients and the experience, rather than managing logistics.
The result was a completely sold-out retreat in India, delivered with confidence and clarity, and a renewed commitment to continue offering retreats as a sustainable and profitable part of her business. She is now planning future retreats with a much stronger structure in place.
As Georgina shared:
“Emma’s support has been extraordinary. She helped bring structure and a professional foundation to my retreats, from pricing and planning through to the finer details behind the scenes. The strategic refinements we made together gave me real clarity and confidence, not just in delivering the experience, but in building something sustainable and profitable as part of my business.”
This is the difference between running a retreat and designing one properly.

What It’s Like to Work With Us
"Working with Emma was a real eye-opener to what’s actually possible with retreats. She brings not only a deep understanding of logistics and structure, but a genuine care for the experience you’re creating.
What stood out most was her honesty, sharing not just what works, but what can go wrong and how to navigate it. I left with clarity, confidence and a completely different perspective on how to approach retreats in a way that feels both achievable and well thought through."
- Annalisa
"Emma completely reframed what a retreat could look like for me. I’d always assumed that, as a personal trainer, I’d need to run a traditional fitness retreat, but she helped me see it could be something entirely different.
She supported me through the process and helped me bring the retreat to life in a way that feels aligned with me, my audience and my business.
Now that it’s launched, I can honestly say that without Emma, I’d be feeling really anxious. Having her guidance has made such a difference"
- Â Nikki Ellis, Personal Trainer & Studio Owner
"Delivering our India retreat was a huge milestone, and having the right guidance around structure, pricing and planning made the entire process feel clear, achievable and successful.
The experience we created was everything we had hoped for, both for our clients and as part of our business."
- Allison
A Note on India & South Asia
You may notice we often work with retreats in India, Nepal, Bhutan and Sri Lanka.
This is a space we specialise in, through our long-standing partnership with Indus Bound.
For many clients, this opens up:
- unique and immersive experiences
- strong on-the-ground support
- and often more commercially viable retreat models
Whether you’re curious about hosting there, or want something designed for you, this is something we can explore together.
