Retreat Leader Consultancy
Turn Your Retreat Vision Into a Retreat That Sells
About
Helping Retreat Leaders Create, Launch & Grow Exceptional Retreats.
Creating a retreat is exciting.
Creating a retreat that people actually book is a completely different challenge.
Whether you're planning your very first retreat or you've already hosted a few, I help retreat leaders create unforgettable experiences while building retreats that are financially sustainable and professionally organised.
After organising more than 32 retreats, working with venues across the UK, Greece and Romania, and successfully selling out multiple retreats, I've learned what truly makes people book—and what often prevents retreat leaders from reaching their goals.
My mission is simple:
Helping passionate retreat leaders build retreats with confidence, clarity and purpose.
Why Invest in Retreat Consultancy?
Planning a retreat involves far more than choosing a venue and creating a schedule. Successful retreats require careful budgeting, strategic marketing, thoughtful guest experiences, and a clear plan from start to finish.
With expert guidance, you'll save time, avoid costly mistakes, and gain the confidence to launch a retreat that reflects your vision while giving it the best possible chance of success.
Meet Your Consultant
Hi, I'm Raluca Badea.
Founder of Sober Haven Retreats and Retreat Consultant & Growth Partner, I'm passionate about helping retreat leaders turn their vision into beautifully organised, profitable, and transformational retreats.
Over the past few years, I've organised and sold out more than 30 retreats, welcoming hundreds of guests across the UK, Greece, and Romania. From intimate weekend escapes to week-long destination retreats, I've learned what truly creates an unforgettable guest experience—and what inspires people to book.
Like many retreat leaders, I've experienced both the highs and the challenges of building a retreat business. Those experiences have shaped the practical strategies I now share with my clients, helping them avoid common mistakes and launch with confidence.
Whether you're planning your very first retreat or looking to grow an established retreat business, I'm here to support you every step of the way—from the initial idea to a successful launch.
I believe the best retreats combine thoughtful planning, authentic leadership, and genuine connection. My goal is to help you create a retreat that reflects your unique vision while building a business that is both fulfilling and financially sustainable.
