Clementine sees resilience as more than toughness or the ability to keep pushing through difficulty. Her work explores resilience as flexibility: knowing when to adapt, when to pause, when to ask for support and when something needs to change. Sustainable resilience allows us to move through change without losing connection with ourselves.

Returning to yourself isn't about going backwards or rediscovering an old version of who you were. It's about creating enough space to hear your own values, needs and perspective beneath the expectations and identities you've accumulated along the way. It means moving forward with a stronger connection to yourself.

No. Living across cultures can make questions of identity and belonging particularly visible, but these experiences aren't limited to expatriates.

Career changes, parenthood, leadership, relationships, relocation, success, ageing and other life transitions can all leave us questioning who we are now and how the different parts of our lives fit together.

Clementine has spent much of her own life moving between countries, cultures, careers, communities and roles. That experience led to a question that now sits at the heart of her work: how do we build a sense of self that feels fully our own when our lives have been shaped by many different worlds? Her work explores what it means not simply to fit in, but to belong without losing ourselves in the process.

An integrated sense of self means being able to bring the different parts of who you are together rather than feeling you need to become a different version of yourself depending on where you are or who you are with. It is about knowing what matters to you, feeling at home within yourself and making choices from that foundation rather than constantly adapting to external expectations.

No. You don't need any previous coaching or retreat experience. You simply need to be open to reflection, conversation and giving yourself some time away from everyday life.

Absolutely. Many women attend alone. Retreats are intentionally small, typically no more than eight participants which creates an environment where it feels natural to meet others while still having space for yourself.

No. Clementine’s retreats are intentionally designed to give you choice.

There will be a mixture of indoor and outdoor experiences, conversation, reflection and personal time. You are encouraged to participate in the experiences that feel right for you and use the quieter moments in whatever way you need.

Clementine’s retreats are for women who want to step away from everyday life, reconnect with themselves and create space to consider where they are and what might come next. You may be navigating change or simply feel ready for time away from the usual demands and expectations. You don't need to arrive with a problem to solve or a goal to achieve.

No. Clementine’s retreat is coaching and reflection based rather than a therapeutic programme. Conversations may be personal and meaningful, but the experience focuses on self-awareness, connection, reflection and considering how you want to move forward.

The retreat includes accommodation, facilitated workshops and group coaching sessions, selected shared meals and retreat materials. Exact inclusions are confirmed for each retreat.

The retreat includes facilitated sessions, reflective conversations, shared meals, personal time and opportunities to experience Martha’s Vineyard through walks, beaches, sunsets and time exploring the island. The schedule offers structure without filling every moment, leaving space to rest, read, journal, explore or simply be.

The retreat is intentionally intimate, typically bringing together no more than eight women. The small group creates space for meaningful conversation and connection without losing the personal time and quiet that are central to the experience.

The Martha’s Vineyard Retreat is held annually on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, typically during the first weeks of October. Clementine intentionally chooses this quieter time of year so participants can experience a slower side of the island, away from the peak summer crowds.

The "Reinvent Yourself" workshop is for people at a crossroads, whether they are navigating a transition, adjusting to a new chapter or simply questioning what they want from the next stage of your life.

Sessions combine facilitated conversation and personal reflection with creative exercises that may include movement, music, art or storytelling. Each session explores a particular theme or question, with space to reflect individually and learn through conversation with others.

One-on-one coaching is centred entirely around your individual experience. Group coaching adds the perspectives, stories and insights of others.

Sometimes hearing someone articulate something you have also felt can help you see your own experience differently. The group becomes part of the learning.

You have the opportunity to consider your own experiences while hearing different perspectives from people who may be navigating similar questions, transitions or changes.
