About Host & Founder of Just Be Retreat

I’m Tracey — a lifelong traveller and creative soul who spent many years working at a senior level in the creative industries before choosing a simpler, more truthful life in rural France.

After decades of deadlines and noise, I longed for space — to breathe, to listen and to live more gently. Creating Just Be Retreat became my way of sharing that gift of stillness and belonging with other women who feel the same pull to pause and realign.

Now in my fifties, I host small, soulful retreats for women who want to rest deeply, eat well and rediscover the ease of simply being themselves. Guests often say they feel instantly at home — that the space is warm, relaxed and real. One woman told me, “You have such beautiful, easy energy,” and that captures the spirit of Just Be: no judgement, no pressure, just genuine care and calm company.

My life has taken me across continents and through both creative success and personal uncertainty. I understand what it’s like to stand at a crossroads — and how gentle, grounded steps can bring you back to yourself.

What I offer now is simple: thoughtful hospitality, a grounded presence and space to slow down in your own way. I believe women thrive in connection — the kind that feels natural when we feel safe, seen and accepted just as we are.

Come as you are. You’ll be warmly welcomed — with good food, calm surroundings and the quiet ease of simply being.
