Bonjour et Bienvenue! I’m Margaretha Montagu.
My life’s work is to help others through life transitions. We go through the same life transitions again and again, until we learn the lessons each life transition offers us. I understand how challenging life transitions can be, both personally and professionally. I know what it feels like—the uncertainty, the insecurity, the overthinking. In the last 30 years, I have been through 45 life transitions, sometimes more than one at a time. It hasn’t gotten any easier, but I got better at coping with it, and at learning the life lessons faster with the steadfast support of my horses. I want to share what I have discovered with you, to help you cope better with life transitions too.
What is a life transition? A career change, starting a new business, moving to a different country, a divorce, the loss of a loved one, an empty nest, a debilitating illness, retirement – any substantial change -planned or unplanned – in your circumstances.
I am a retired medical doctor with more than 20 years of experience helping patients avoid the mental and physical damage stress can cause. I have been leading retreats and creating online courses for more than a decade. I am the published author of 6 books and I started blogging in 2015.
You’ll find loads of useful suggestions in the articles I have published on my blog, but if you need help putting these suggestions into practice, you are very welcome to join me and my horses for a Camino de Santiago walking retreat here at my little farmhouse in the southwest of France, or maybe enrol in my Road Map to Resilience online course – you can choose to add some one-one-one coaching to it – or start by reading my book Embracing Change – in 10 minutes a day.
A life full of adventure, purpose and achievement – in alignment with your unique talents, values and ideals awaits.
Send me an email – I reply to each one personally.
If you are fed up with feeling overwhelmed, insecure and exhausted and yearn to feel safe in the knowledge that you can handle stressful life transitions, if you are working towards becoming the very best version of yourself, living your best life, and doing whatever it is that you were put on the planet to do, then I can help.
Either by inviting you to come to a small group reconnect with nature retreat here at my 200-year-old, lovingly restored French farmhouse, on the edge of an ancient forest, in the sun-blessed south of France, in the presence of my Friesian and Falabella horses or by joining me on an online course/challenge, inspired by my small herd.

Maybe you feel mentally and physically drained and overwhelmed by the never-ending and ever-increasing demands that going through this life transition is making of you.
I know exactly how you feel.

I have been through more life transitions than I care to count while feeling overwhelmed by the possibility that I might lose my sight, for the last 30 years.
Coping with this fear, with the seemingly insurmountable challenges I have to face, sometimes daily, has taught me more than I learned during a decade of medical training and two decades of experience in medical practice.
As my sight continued to deteriorate over the years, I learned not only how to manage my fear, apprehension and doubt, but to live a rewarding, meaningful and fulfilling life despite it.
Over the last 10+ years, I have had the privilege of helping dozens of people, many have become friends for life, and return year after year, to reconnect with nature and recharge their batteries before or during life transitions in one of the most breathtakingly beautiful corners of France, in the foothills of the mighty Pyrenées mountains.
“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!” Review from Julia D., testimonial verified by Bookretreats.com
You get one life. Make it rewarding, meaningful, purposeful, fulfilling and magical by investing in yourself.
