Stress Management: Science-backed, Medically-informed, Result-oriented Retreats, Courses, Coaching and Mentoring

for stressed executives, burned-out entrepreneurs, and overwhelmed professionals

Feeling stressed, overwhelmed and exhausted? You are not alone, and you do not have to manage this on your own. I specialise in helping people get through difficult times using science-backed stress management strategies and the deep understanding that comes from having walked this path myself.

Whether it is burnout, an ever-increasing work load, escalating relationship difficulties, an unexpectedly complicated career change, a finally unavoidable retirement, a mind-numbing relocation, the piercing loneliness of an empty nest, a life-arresting health scare, the soul-wrenching loss of someone precious, or my speciality, arriving at the top of the career ladder only to discover that reaching the peak of professional success doesn’t bring the fulfilment you expected, I can help you reinvent yourself and guide you, step-by-step, to construct a more purposeful, meaningful, fulfilling and impactful life that feels profoundly rewarding and uniquely yours.

Your options:

You’ll gain more than just coping strategies; you’ll develop unshakeable resilience that turns future challenges into growth opportunities, while mastering solid stress management techniques that enable you to rebuild your identity from a place of strength, not survival.

“The opportunity to experience walking a portion of the Camino de Santiago, as a retired, single woman, without concern for lodging and meals, was truly a gift. I’m recovering from extreme personal loss, and felt safe and cared for, while encouraged to explore independently. Dr Montagu is a very gracious hostess and, I hope she’ll agree, someone I can now count as a friend. She provided beautiful meals and some meaningful local experiences. Because of what she shared of the area, I hope to visit Southern France again.” Brenda M. via Tripaneer

“I was a VP at a Fortune 500 company, working 70-hour weeks and feeling completely lost. I knew I needed to pivot my career, but I was so exhausted I couldn’t even update my LinkedIn profile. The Platinum Mentoring Protocol didn’t just help me transition to consulting – it helped me rebuild my entire relationship with work. Within 8 months, I launched my own firm and reclaimed my life. The science-backed stress management techniques alone were worth the investment, but the bespoke approach made all the difference. Plus, the quirky humour kept me sane during the tough moments!” — Sarah M.

“Margaretha herself was the best thing about the retreat. Quietly kind, supportive, informative, insightful and fun! She and I, and my one fellow guest at Esprit Meraki, formed such a unique and special bond and I think we will be friends for life! Other than our wonderful host I also appreciated the farmhouse itself, its tranquil outside spaces, especially the sunlounger under the trees which Margaretha designated for me in the afternoons to laze on and reflect after the long daytime walk on the Camino – balm for the feet and the soul!” Julia D. via Tripaneer
