About Us

Soma & Solace is a workshop and therapeutic retreat company dedicated to nurturing

deeper self-understanding, authentic communication, and compassionate boundaries.

We offer thoughtfully designed one-day workshops that explore communicating boundaries

in the workplace, helping you navigate professional relationships with greater clarity and

ease.

Our immersive retreats take this work further, opening space to examine all your

relationships - with others and with yourself. Over four transformative days, we explore how

patterns of codependency and high control often keep us locked in cycles of overgiving, self-

abandonment, or needing to manage others to feel safe.

Each retreat is facilitated and curated by two trained therapists, both with extensive

knowledge and training in codependency, control dynamics, and relational healing.

Supported by a wider team, our retreats weave together holistic experiences including yoga,

sound baths, and gentle movement, all held within a safe therapeutic container.

At Soma & Solace, we help you gently challenge the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that

sustain codependency and high control, so you can cultivate healthier relationships, more

authentic self-expression, and practical communication skills. Our work is rooted in self-care

that nourishes your physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing.
