The Retreat Business Academy

By Sandy Donnelly

Turn your passion into a Retreat Business

Feature 1

Have you ever dreamed of taking your Pilates, yoga or wellness expertise beyond the studio and creating your own retreats?

Imagine welcoming guests to beautiful destinations, delivering unforgettable experiences and building a business around something you genuinely love.

But where do you start?

I’ve spent over 17 years developing, organising and delivering health and wellness retreats. I’ve learned what works, what doesn’t, and what it really takes to run successful retreats.

Now I’m sharing that knowledge. ac fringilla turpis. In sit amet felis malesuada, feugiat purus eget, varius mi. Donec eget risus diam.

Feature 2

Learn from someone who has actually done it.

I’m Sandy Donnelly, founder of DBC Health Retreats.

From Pilates and hiking retreats in Lanzarote to wellness experiences across Europe and beyond, I’ve built a business around bringing people together through movement, travel, nutrition and wellbeing.

I understand the logistics, the challenges, the costs, the guest experience and the importance of getting the details right.

I want to help other instructors turn their knowledge and passion into a sustainable retreat business.
