YOU MIGHT WONDER
Why do I need the Mother & Daughter’s Empowering Experience in my life?
Because this retreat is more than a getaway — it’s a journey you’ll never forget. 🌺
A chance for mothers and daughters to reconnect, recharge, and rediscover the joy of adventure — together.
You’ll hike to waterfalls, practise yoga by the ocean, explore hidden blue holes, and share laughter that fills your soul. And as part of this journey, we’ll also spend time giving back — working with local women and children through the 1000 Days of Life Project, helping empower communities and creating deeper meaning in every moment.
It’s the perfect blend of purpose and paradise — challenge and calm, stillness and joy. You’ll leave re-inspired, reconnected, and reminded of what truly matters.
A Holiday with a Difference…
“Do you miss your mum?” someone once asked my daughter when she was visiting me in Vanuatu.
She grinned and said, “I miss the adventures.”
I loved that answer — because to her, our adventures are us. They’re how we connect, how we laugh, how we learn together. They’re the moments that remind both of us that life is meant to be lived — fully, messily, joyfully.
We’ve climbed volcanoes side by side, galloped horses through turquoise water, shared meals with village families who had little but gave everything, and laughed until we cried as we tumbled off paddleboards into a sea so blue it didn’t look real.
And in those moments — covered in mud, salt, and joy — I realised something: this is what I want to give her. Not things. Not stuff. Experiences that shape who she becomes.
Because happiness isn’t found in what we own.
It’s found in connection — in giving, in gratitude, in being present long enough to see how much beauty there really is.
That’s why I decided to make my next retreat all about mothers and daughters.
A space to step away from the noise and rediscover what truly matters: laughter, courage, adventure, purpose, and each other.

Meet Your Guide
Hi, I’m Kat Finnerty
My name is Kat Finnerty. I’m a best-selling author, yoga, health and wellness instructor, nutritionist, speaker, MS advocate and mum of three. I’ve been lucky enough to work as a retreat facilitator/motivator for the Food Matters/Gaia Network, the largest transformational network in the world (2 million+ followers).
When I was 24, I began experiencing the devastating symptoms of multiple sclerosis. I was told I’d probably end up in a wheelchair by the time I was 40. But despite enduring years of debilitating attacks, I managed to reverse nearly all my symptoms and go into long-term remission.
I attribute a large part of this journey to a radical change in mindset. I call it a counterintuitive approach to happiness. Instead of constantly pursuing my wants and desires, I focused on mastering my disasters. This allowed me to shortcut my way back to happiness and break out of my cycle of suffering.
And the good news is, you can do this too, given the right guidance & tools.
My retreats are where the magic happens - they offer you a chance to break free from the daily grind and learn life hacks to reset your brain, bringing more peace, joy, and contentment into your life.
And it all starts with my 12 Principles to become a ‘Master of Disaster’.
“Your past pain is your greatest strength waiting to be unlocked.” — Kat Finnerty
