Florence is the founder of Yoga Retreats and More, an award-winning wellbeing retreat business creating affordable, small-group experiences centred around connection, community and self-care.

Her journey into veganism and animal activism began as a teenager. Having spent her childhood summers on a dairy farm in France, she stopped eating meat as a teenager — not always the easiest choice in a country where food and culture are so closely intertwined — and began campaigning for animal rights. She went vegan in 2010.

Today, her commitment to animals is woven into her business. Every retreat is plant-based, and a donation from every place sold goes to an animal charity. To date, Florence has donated more than £5,000 to animal welfare.

She launched Yoga Retreats and More in 2021 with a simple aim: to bring people together and share the benefits of self-care in a way that feels accessible, welcoming and genuinely meaningful. Retreats are limited to just eight guests, creating space for real connection and a strong sense of community, with almost half of bookings coming from returning guests.

A qualified sound healer and Yoga Nidra practitioner, and one of a small number of labyrinth walking facilitators in the UK, Florence is passionate about bringing together wellbeing, compassion, community and positive action.
