The experience
What is The Rewrite?
The Rewrite is a fully immersive five-day transformational experience based on the teachings, exercises and proven framework within my book, CHAOS: The Art of Resilience.
Over five powerful days, we'll journey together through the five portals of CHAOS, unpicking the beliefs, behaviours, stories and self-sabotaging patterns that have shaped your life so far.
This is your opportunity to step away from the noise, the demands, the responsibilities and the endless distractions of everyday life, and gift yourself something most people never allow themselves:
Time. Space. Honest reflection. Proper support.
Because knowing something needs to change and actually creating the conditions to change it are two very different things.
Perhaps you've already read CHAOS.
Perhaps you've even started The Rewrite workbook.
And then life happened.
Again.
The Rewrite Retreat gives you five uninterrupted days, in an extraordinary setting, with my direct guidance, to finally do the work properly.
By the end of the week, you'll leave with your Rewrite complete, your implementation plan mapped out, and the confident strut of a badass who has a clear vision of the life, business and future they actually want to create.

Who it's for
Is The Rewrite For You?
The Rewrite is for those who know a change is needed, even if you can't quite put your finger on exactly what that change looks like.
Maybe life has slapped the grin clean off your face.
Maybe there's been chaos, heartbreak, collapse, a business wobble, or a wake-up call you absolutely didn't expect.
Or maybe nothing dramatic has happened at all, which somehow makes it even harder to explain.
Things are… fine. Perfectly respectable, even.
And yet something feels off. Like you're going through the motions in a life that no longer fits quite as comfortably as it once did.
Perhaps you've spent so long being what everyone else needs you to be that you've stopped asking what you actually want.
Perhaps you know you're capable of more. More joy, more purpose, more excitement, more fulfilment. But between life being relentlessly life-y and your own remarkable talent for putting yourself at the bottom of the list, the can of meaningful change keeps getting kicked further down the road.
The Rewrite is for the people who are done with that.
- Done waiting for the mythical perfect time.
- Done circling the same thoughts.
- Done knowing something needs to shift whilst doing precisely cock all about it.
If that's you… Welcome.
The setting
Why Hillthorpe?
Because environment matters.
And Hillthorpe is no ordinary venue. She's a stunning Manor House of chaos, joy and transformation. Lavish. Opulent. A little bit magical.
Blessed by a shaman, protected from negative energy, and holding the stories of a thousand moments within her walls.
Hillthorpe has witnessed celebrations, heartbreak, reinvention, deep conversations, wild laughter, tears, breakthroughs and complete life pivots. She understands transformation.
Nestled in ancient woodland, wrapped in nature, with hot tubs, beautiful gardens and spaces designed for both reflection and connection, Hillthorpe has a way of helping people exhale almost the moment they arrive.
This isn't somewhere you simply stay. It's somewhere you feel.
And for five beautiful, immersive days, she becomes home.

Your host
Why Sarah?
Because I will lovingly call your bullshit.
If you're looking for someone to spend five days nodding sympathetically whilst you explain, for the seventeenth time, why now isn't the right time, why life is complicated, why everyone else comes first, and why your dreams will have to wait, I am spectacularly the wrong woman.
I care deeply. But I also care far too much to let you spend another decade hiding behind beautifully rehearsed excuses.
I wrote CHAOS because I have lived it. The moments where life punches you squarely in the tits and leaves you staring at the wreckage wondering what the buggering hell happens now.
And the truth? Some of the biggest wrecking balls in my life were my own thinking. My own fear. My own patterns. My own stories.
That's why I do this work. Because I know what happens when you stop waiting to be rescued, get radically honest, and decide to rewrite the bloody script yourself.
If you come to Hillthorpe, I'll hold you through the emotional bits. I'll celebrate the breakthroughs. I'll give you an uncomfortably long hug when it all feels too much. And when required, I'll grab you metaphorically by the hair, drag you kicking and screaming towards your own truth, and remind you exactly who the hell you are.
Because your badass is waiting. And frankly, she's getting impatient.
