About your Women’s Retreat Host:

Hi beautiful!

I’m Nicole Hennessy , a certified life coach and therapeutic art coach.

Let me tell you where it all began. After 20 years of doing absolutely nothing for myself (hello, mom life), fully focused on taking care of my family and kids… I finally gave myself permission to go on a women’s retreat.

It changed my life forever.

When I came back, I was calmer, happier, more confident, and surprisingly, way more patient with my kids. It’s funny how taking a break and caring for yourself can make you an even better mom, partner, and friend.

That one retreat inspired me to create a space where other women could feel the same shift, and that is how The Hennessy’s House Retreats were born. We are now over 8 retreats in the last 4 years!

But here’s the catch: I’m not your average “wellness girly.” I don’t live and breathe green juice and daily sun salutations. I’m big on balance. We are not meant to be one thing; we’re layered, messy, soft, strong, wild, and tender all at once.

I’m spiritual, but I welcome all beliefs (seriously, who am I to say I know what’s out there with certainty?). And yes, I cuss; if that offends you, I respect that. But I encourage you to show up exactly as you are, without fear of judgment, so I expect the same in return. Kisses.

Why am I telling you all this? Because you have to decide if my vibe is the right retreat host for you.

I will give you tools.
I will cry with you.
I will hold space so you feel safe to be your most authentic self.

But I will also sing terrible karaoke with you at night (wine in hand), laugh until we snort, hype you up before your boudoir shoot, and tell you just how hot and powerful you are, (and how good your ass looks).

I’m playful and kind. I’m safe, and I’ll encourage you to take wild risks. I will never judge you, because that’s exactly what’s wrong with the world.

I cannot wait to meet the version of you that feels wild, free, and deeply loved. 

Trust me when I tell you, I know how scary it can be to do something new.
But don’t fear, you’re in great hands.

This is the break you have been asking for and now it’s your turn to courageously give yourself permission to take care of yourself…(Well actually, I’ll be taking care of you).

It’s your turn to show up and say YES to being a calmer more balanced mom.
