Our Story
Two women brought together by a shared vision: creating spaces where women can truly be themselves, supported by community and guided by expertise.
Why We Started Soulful Circle Retreats
In our modern world, where we're more connected digitally yet often feel more isolated than ever, we saw a growing need for genuine human connection. Women especially carry so much – juggling careers, families, relationships – often putting everyone else first.
We created Soulful Circle Retreats to offer something different: a sanctuary where women can pause, reconnect with themselves, and be held by a community of others who truly understand.
Through our circles and retreats, we blend the power of therapeutic techniques with the ancient wisdom of gathering in community. The result is transformation that lasts – not just a temporary escape, but lasting tools for a more connected, peaceful life.

Samantha Goddard
Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapist | “The Therapist Mum”
Before I became a therapist, I spent years performing professionally as a dancer, training at the Urdang Academy and taking the stage at iconic venues like the Royal Albert Hall. Outwardly, I looked confident. But internally, I was struggling.
Despite all my achievements, I constantly battled low self-worth, disordered eating and the exhausting feeling that I was never quite “enough.”
Everything changed when I discovered the powerful mind-body connection through Rapid Transformational Therapy and Clinical Hypnotherapy. This work transformed my life – and I knew I had to share it with others.
Now, with over 22 years of experience, I help women break free from the patterns that hold them back. As a mother of three, I understand the unique pressures women face, and I'm passionate about creating spaces where we can heal together.
