A premium day for women in business who are ready to be seen at the level they’re operating at

If your business has outgrown your current visibility…

If your brand no longer reflects the quality of your work…

If you’re craving space to think clearly again…

This is your reset point.

A day designed to help you step out of the noise, reconnect with your direction, and create content that actually feels like you.

More than a retreat. A chance to be seen properly.

Elevate is a carefully curated day for women in business who want space to think clearly, refine their visibility, and create imagery that reflects the quality of their work.

This is not a generic networking event. And it is not a clinical content day.

It is a premium, calming experience designed for founders whose work deserves a setting with warmth, character, depth, and beauty.

Whether you are a holistic practitioner, author, therapist, coach, nutritionist, or another service-led founder, this day gives you the opportunity to step back, reconnect with your business, and leave with both clarity and content.

Limited to just 8 women to keep the experience personal and intentional.

This isn’t just a location. It’s your brand, brought to life.

Set within an organic working farm in the Chew Valley, Just Wild Barn offers something most branding shoots don’t.

Depth. Texture. Story.

Inside, the space transforms depending on how you want to show up:

  • A calm, open area that can feel spacious and minimal

  • A dining space filled with warmth and natural light

  • A soft, inviting corner that can be styled as a therapy or practice room

  • A beautiful kitchen filled with character — complete with a fully dressed Welsh dresser

Outside, the setting expands your story even further:

  • Fields overlooking Chew Valley and the lake

  • Stone walls and rustic outbuildings

  • An apple orchard

  • A kitchen garden and greenhouse

This means your images don’t feel staged. They feel real, grounded, and aligned with your work.

Props are welcome — bring the pieces that help tell your story.

Designed for women whose business deserves better visibility

Elevate is especially suited to women whose work is rooted in wellbeing, depth, beauty, care, lifestyle, creativity, or transformation.

Ideal for:
