What if, before the school holidays begin....

You gave yourself just two hours?

Two hours without being Mum.

Someone's partner.

Someone's boss.

Someone's problem solver.

Just two hours to slow down, To breathe, to reconnect with the women beneath the roles...

Meet your host

Hey I'm Serena.

I am a wife, mum of five, relationship coach, women's circle facilitator, founder of Love Thy Body Project and a Psychosexual therapist in training. For over ten years I've been passionate about creating safe, inclusive spaces where women feel seen, heard and supported. through workshops, coaching and women's circles, I've had the privilege of walking alongside hundreds of women as they've reconnected with themselves and rediscovered their confidence.

Like so many women, I understand what it feels like to spend years caring foe everyone else while quietly putting yourself to the bottom of the list and that's exactly why I have created The Summer Pause.

My circles are gentle, welcoming and completely judgement free. My hope is that EVERY woman leaves feeling held and remembering that she matters too.

I don't believe that Women need another thing to achieve. I believe we need more spaces where we can simple breathe, be ourselves and remember that we matter too.,

I cannot wait to meet and welcome you.

Serena Novelli
