Retreat to the English Riviera — to transform how you think, so you can transform who you are.
Space to think. Permission to be. Courage to change.
Our retreats exist to give you the space and time to think. Through guided workshops and one-to-one coaching, we help you realise what you're capable of.
Our Retreats
A 3 day immersive retreat in Dartmouth, Devon. Work with two coaches and an artist to unlock your human potential. Leave with a new found sense of purpose.
Through guided writing workshops, this retreat takes you past the polished version of your words to what's actually driving you. No experience needed, nothing is assessed, and you share only what you want to.
Intensive coaching on the move, along the coastal paths and countryside of the English Riviera. Walking side by side loosens thinking in a way that sitting across a table rarely does. Gentle pace, no fitness requirement, and the sea and the Devon landscape as the setting. Work 1:1 with your ICF coach as you walk.
Who We Are

Riviera Retreats
Riviera Retreats was founded by Kanthi Ford and Sarah Mackintosh.
Sarah is an ICF Professional Certified Coach with over 35 years' experience spanning mental health nursing and human resource management.
Kanthi is Managing Director of KFV Consulting, a global culture change strategist, leadership coach and international communications expert.
We work as thinking partners rather than advisers. Everything discussed is confidential, and the space is deliberately non-judgemental. It is somewhere you can say the thing that's actually keeping you awake, and work out what to do about it.
Most of what holds you back isn't a lack of capability. It's the doubts and self-limiting beliefs that quietly narrow what feels possible. Our work is to surface those, give you the tools to move past them, and give you the confidence to act.
The retreats run across the English Riviera, at locations from Dartmouth to Brixham. The Devon coast and landscape aren't just a backdrop, the calm they create is part of how the work happens.
Space to think. Permission to be. Courage to change.
