Holymama honours the mother

The divine feminine resides within us all. As women, we are innately creative, powerful, sexual, fertile and loving.

We are also natural healers and nurtureRs.

The modern mother is completely overwhelmed and isolated. We are doing too much and missing the time for deep connection. A HolyMama retreat is an opportunity for mother and child to pause, breathe and tap into the incredible potential that lies within. It is a chance to ignite dreams and visions.

This retreat is for creating space for yourself because as mothers we often lose sight of ‘me’. It is for nurturing the relationship you have to yourself, your child and other women.

When women come together in a safe and nurturing space magic happens. There is deep healing and heart-opening. Once this sacred space is honoured between us and within us, a profound shift occurs.

Each woman is seen and heard and her uniqueness is illuminated. It is a loving, supportive experience beyond what most of us know from the competitive structures we have grown up around. You will be inspired, energised and transformed.

When women gather in close circles they
awaken the wisdom in each other’s hearts.

HOLYMAMA RETREATS ARE HELD IN PLACES WITH SPECIAL ENERGY WHERE NATURE IS VIBRANT IN ORDER FOR US TO ALIGN WITH BEING

I’M CLAUDIA, HOLYMAMA’S MAMA

As well as birthing HolyMama, I conceived three children (after age forty), a retreat centre in India and a couple of books, including Right Time Baby (Hay House UK).

I’m an activator, sacred space holder, fertility expert, keynote speaker, leadership trainer and holistic health coach. I’m Swiss and British with a splash of Latin.

I’m passionate about the role of women in conscious evolution and how we will restore the balance on our planet. The world needs women who can show up with courage, fierce grace and clarity, more info here.

I CREATED HOLYMAMA AS THE KIND OF YOGA RETREAT I YEARNED FOR AS A MOTHER

A retreat I could go on with my child in a supported, female environment. HolyMama is a combination of incredible yoga, delicious food, beautiful accommodation, loving childcare, an attentive team, magnificent countryside and nurturing treatments. HolyMama takes a matrifocal, child-centred approach to living.

Meet the Team

All the amazing individuals in the HolyMama team hold the energy of what we call our LoveField. This is like your dream village community run by loving, nurturing women. Everyone who comes to a HolyMama mother and child retreat is touched by this intentional, clearly held space.

Ximena

Ximena is Claudia’s On-site Assistant. With her grounded, clear energy she brings us a touch of magic and wisdom from the Andean tribes of South America. Ximena is also a Shamanic Healer and Ceremonies Priestess. Ximena is mother to a beautiful crystal, rainbow child called Nahuel.

KAT

Kat is our HolyMama virtual angel and Claudia’s Assistant. She has a passion for women’s health and touches everything with care and professionalism. Kat is based in Australia and mama to two young toddlers and hence currently on leave to focus on nurturing her babus.

Marta

Marta Farre is a Holistic Therapist and Birth Doula. She is an advanced therapist in many different healing modalities including Craniosacral Therapy, Family Constellations, Trauma Release and Biomagnetism. Marta is Balinese on the inside and performs beautiful water blessings on the retreats.

HOLYCARERS

Our HolyCarers know that being with children is sacred work. They have chosen this path because they are passionate about the kind of nurture and space starseeds thrive in.

Alongside their experience working with children, our HolyCarers bring with them individual skills like dance, music, crafts, puppetry and children’s yoga and mindfulness meditation.

We have an unusually high carer to child ratio and each child is paired with the appropriate carer, taking into consideration language, age, needs, personality and interests.

HOLYCHEFS

Our HolyChefs are mothers themselves.

They know what it means to get ‘hangry’ when you’re breastfeeding and anxious if your child is being picky or fussy.

Marce and Patricia are creative geniuses in the kitchen, putting such love, care and magic into the meals. They are also super ZEN in a place that gets really hot and this is testament to their own inner work. Mums often go home saying the food was their favourite part of the retreat.

HOLYMAMA IS PURPOSE-DRIVEN WITH HUMANITARIAN AND ECOLOGICAL GOALS

With your HolyMama reservation you are supporting the work of TreeSisters to offset global warming. Thanks to funds from HolyMama and our clients thousands of trees have been planted in the tropical belt of the planet.

We have also supported projects for Operation Smile and refugee communities in northern Thailand.

With HolyMamaLove we have sponsored retreat spaces for mothers and children going through emotional, psychological and financial challenges.

Similar to Kuan Yin, the Buddhist Female Deity of Compassion and Mercy, we see our work in attending to the cries of children on the other side of the planet.

As part of the on-going expansion of HolyMamaLove we are looking for partners, volunteers and fundraisers to bring the Feminine HolyMama LoveField concept to places where women and children are recovering from trauma, abuse and hardship.

Please Get in Touch if you’d like to be involved.
