Who?
Author of Get Your Mojo Back and women’s health advocate, Clio Wood, founded &Breathe after the birth of her first daughter. She draws together experts in maternal and midlife fitness, nutrition and mental wellbeing to provide all-round support for new parents and the peri/menopause. Our hosts are empathetic and experienced; our trainers are renowned in their fields for proper rehabilitation and exercise for post-natal mums, dads and peri/menopausal women; our massage therapists have magical hands; and our nannies have magic powers.
Where?
Manoir La Croix de La Jugie is our Founder’s family home which hosts our Family & Postnatal, and Menopause Retreats. It’s set in the heart of rural Limousin, in central SW France, but is perfectly set up for retreats and families. Fly, drive or take the train to your perfect &Breathe holiday.
“Thank you...for helping us change our lives.”

Our philosophy
We know. We've been there.
&Breathe gives you the tools to come up for air in new, and not-so-new parenthood and in the peri/menopausal period. All big life stages. We do this through effective exercise, healthy & delicious food, relaxing treatments and mindfulness & identity guidance.
“Sleep-deprived parents, rejoice”
