When you have light in your heart, you glow”

Join me in April 2024 for a fabulous trip combining world-class golf with a full programme of well-being activities, tailored excursions, delicious food and sunshine. A four night break designed to energise, inspire and replenish vitality levels
In April this year, I was lucky enough to accompany my husband Al on a golf pro-Am to the Pelopenese in Greece, staying at The Westin, part of the Costa Navarino group of resorts. It was honestly one of the most incredible places I’ve visited - jaw droppingly beautiful, surrounded by ancient culture, a smorgasbord of fabulous golf courses, luxurious accomodation, delicious cuisine… I could go on. I loved being there so much that I immediately set about working with Golf Escapes to create the Golf and Glow experience.
The package we’ve designed combines so much: excellent golf of course (Costa Navarino is a former winner of the IATGO European Golf Resort of the year), a full programme of carefully curated well-being activities, down-time to relax and enjoy the resort plus an opportunity for time away with a group of fabulous like-minded people. You’ll return from your time away buzzing with vitality, and ready to hit the ground running as we emerge from the quieter months into the full-on Summer season.
Hosted by me, Emma Wise of Breathe4Good and the wonderful Anna Kryvenko, a teacher of Pilates, stretching, over the course of the Golf and Glow break, you’ll enjoy:
Two rounds of golf on Costa Navarino’s world-class courses, with buggy hire included
Daily morning movement practices, stretching your way into the day with Anna’s unique blend of Pilates and Stretching
Evening wellbeing sessions on three nights - a mix of gentle movement, breathwork, guided relaxation and sound therapy
A functional breathing workshop - learn how to optimise your breathing - and the powerful benefits this can deliver
A lesson in facial massage using specially blended facial oil
A Greek cooking experience, visiting a local home for a lesson (and tasting) in traditional Messinian cooking
A trip to the nearby Palace of Nestor; dating from 1400BC, the palace is mentioned in Homer’s The Oddysey and is astonshing in its scale
Optional morning group sea-swims
Fabulous fresh and nutritious food throughout the retreat. Daily hearty brunch and full evening meal
Evening drinks package, including wine if desired
Comfortable private group airport transfers
Support throughout your time away from your hosts
Down-time to enjoy the resort, beach and the on-site Agora
The company of a fabulous group of like-minded people
A goodie bag to take home with you
