Hi

We are Laura and Jo!

Founders, FESTIVAL OF ME.

We are post-graduate-certified, International Coaching Federation transformational coaches, and we are delighted to welcome you to our first retreat.

We created FESTIVAL OF ME because we want to unite the joy of festival culture with the nourishment and peace of retreats in one amazing weekend that takes you away from it all to bring you back to yourself.
