A nourishing day retreat to restore, rediscover and reconnect with yourself.
RETURN TO YOU
A nourishing day retreat for midlife women to restore, rediscover and reconnect with yourself.
We created this day as a beautiful, calm, space to restore and rejuvenate that connection with yourself in a beautiful private setting at The Kimpton Blythsburgh in Glasgow. Come and enjoy a day of peaceful creativity, calm exploration and a growing sense of purpose and restoration of your sense of self.
You have spent a lifetime caring for others, often at the expense of yourself, whether that's through your work and career, personal life or like many of us - probably both! This day has been designed and created by us for you as we know exactly how it feels to be last on the list, disconnected and cast adrift from the woman you once were.
RESTORE - REDISCOVER - RECONNECT
Life is busy and it's so easy for the day-to-day commitments to take centre-stage, often at the expense of our self-identity, self-worth and connection with ourselves. Add in midlife, children leaving home, retirement, divorce/separation, menopause, bereavement, illness to name a few of the challenges we face; which can leave us feeling invisible, under appreciated and out of kilter with ourselves.
Hosted by Abbey Booth, award-winning Personal Stylist, Style Coach and Author, Karen Krawcky, Leadership Coach, Author and co-host of Third Thursday Club with Colette Meechan, otherwise known as IrishGirlinGlasgow, Content Creator with 40K followers on Instagram and Debbie Holley,ex BBC Producer and Empowerment Coach.
Because midlife is your second chapter!
Abbey Booth
Hello, I'm Abbey. I’m an award-winning Personal Stylist, Author and Style Coach. With over 15 years’ experience and more than 1,000 women styled, I create vibrant, life-enhancing styling experiences, for courageous midlife women. I believe personal style is an act of self-care; a way of honouring ourselves each and everyday. Style isn’t about trends or rules, it’s about how you feel. Effortless mornings, clothes you adore and outfits that truly reflect who you are now: the woman you're becoming.
Debbie Holley
After retiring from 30 years in BBC television production, I wasn’t quite ready to step away, as I felt I had more to give and more to experience. Coaching became the natural next chapter - a way to use my experience and love of supporting others in a more personal and impactful way. I now work with women who are navigating change, challenge, or simply a desire to reconnect with who they are.
Karen Krawczyk
I am a Facilitator Coach, and author. The golden thread running through my life is one of connecting and helping others to flourish. I love clothes and style. I have known Abbey for a few years, enjoying her online workshops and style challenge weeks.
Colette Meechan
I have had many careers in my past- An intensive care nurse, a small business owner to working in Galleries and retail, however my greatest joy is in inspiring women of all ages to express themselves confidently through their dressing - to be creative , experiment and most of all have fun and not take style too seriously. connecting with likeminded people on my social platform has brought me great joy
2. Your Outfit Building Session
Once your pieces begin to arrive, we meet online for your 90-minute Outfit Building Session.
This is where everything starts to come together in a practical, wearable way. We will work through your new items together, combining pieces, building outfits and creating looks that feel like you and work for your life as it is now.
-
Includes a 90-minute Outfit Building Masterclass
-
Guidance on how to prepare for the call
-
Outfits that work for you, your career and your lifestyle
-
We will also cover how to accessorise outfits
-
Layering techniques and which shoes work best

Plus you'll know what suits you and why
-
You'll leave with outfits you can't wait to wear whether it's for work, events, networking, holidays or nights out.
-
You'll feel energised, renewed and excited by your style!
Clients often tell me this is the moment things shift from “I think I understand” to “I actually know how to put things together now!”
You leave the session with new outfits and a renewed sense of purpose and clarity - knowing exactly what you are wearing for the event, the podcast, the brand photo shoot -whatever is coming up for you.
Outfits that live your live, the one you are living right now!
3. The Show-Off Zone 6-weeks of stylist support
What I have learned over the years is that the real transformation doesn’t happen in the session itself. It happens afterwards.
When you try things on for the first time, getting dressed on a dreary Tuesday morning and when you’re deciding what to wear for an event, panel talk, podcast, special occasion, photo shoot - something that really matters.
That is why BRAVE includes 6-weeks of wrap-around styling support, 2-weeks during the process to check in and ask questions. Followed by 4-weeks of after-care support, which I call THE SHOW-OFF ZONE.
Because believe me you will want an opportunity to show off your new outfits and your new found styling skills!
During this time, you can:
-
Share outfits you’re wearing
-
Ask questions or a second opinion
-
Check a colour works for you
-
Outfit checks before you head out
-
Receive guidance in real time*
You are not left alone to figure it out. Plus believe me when I say, you will want to show off your gorgeous new outfits!
This is the part that builds confidence, consistency and ease.
(Value £197, included)
*Available 11am-7pm Mon-Fri (messages before or after will be answered in the following day/session)

Next up...
1. Welcome call with Abbey and invitation into a private WhatsApp Group
2. Questionnaire
You’ll receive a short questionnaire to complete in your own time. This helps me understand where you are right now - your lifestyle, what’s working in your wardrobe, what isn’t, and how you want to feel in your clothes moving forward.
3. Your personalised Virtual Shop
Using everything you’ve shared, I will create your Virtual Shop.
This is a carefully edited selection of 16-key pieces chosen specifically for you - not just individually, but with outfits and combinations in mind. When it arrives, you can take your time to look through it, consider what resonates, and begin ordering the pieces that feel right for you.
4. Your Outfit Building Session
Once you ordered your items, we will book your Outfit Building Session. This is where everything comes together. You’ll leave this session with clarity, direction, and a much stronger sense of what works for you.
5. SHOW-OFF ZONE —6-weeks of stylist support

This is your space to:

share outfits as you wear them
-
ask questions and get guidance
-
check in when you’re unsure
-
Show off outfits you love!
This is where the styling becomes part of your everyday life.
6. Moving forward with confidence
By the end of our time together, you won’t just have new clothes.
You’ll have:
-
outfits that feel aligned with who you are now
-
a clearer understanding of what works for you
