Why a Drum Retreat?

After running so many drum camps, I began to notice something magical happening. Yes, we were learning grooves, fills, and techniques — but something much deeper was going on. Time and time again, I watched women light up as they played. I saw tears, laughter, and a kind of joy that stayed with them long after the last note.

It became clear to me that drumming has the power to do far more than improve a skill. It can unlock transformation on a deeper level — boosting confidence, building self-esteem, and nurturing personal growth. For many, it’s a way to reconnect with themselves in a safe, encouraging, and compassionate space.

That’s why I decided to take the essence of my drum camps and create something even more immersive — a retreat-style experience where we can explore not just drumming, but also our creativity, wellbeing, and sense of possibility.

After many months of dreaming, planning, and being brave… The Drum Retreat was born!

I’m so excited for this next adventure and would love to share it with you. If this speaks to you, come join me — I’d be honoured to welcome you.

A Bit About Me

I’ve been playing drums for 26 years, and teaching for over two decades. Over that time, I’ve played in all sorts of bands, toured different parts of the world, and loved every second of creating drum parts and performing on stage. But no matter what else I’ve been doing, teaching has always been the thread that’s run through it all.

Just before I turned 40, I heard about all-women drum camps in America and decided to try running one here in the UK. I had no idea if anyone would turn up — and the first camps definitely didn’t sell out — but I loved it from the very first day. Over time, it became something I couldn’t stop thinking about. Now, 22 camps later, they sell out every time, and I’m lucky to be part of a supportive community of women who share the same passion for drumming.

These days, I still teach, co-host the Drummer Mamas podcast, and in 2024 published my first book, Odd Times Made Easy. I’m also a mum to two brilliant daughters who keep life interesting.

At the heart of everything I do is a simple aim — to help women realise what they’re capable of, both behind the kit and in their everyday lives.

Transfers between Barcelona airport and our beautiful venue - Soul farm Mas els Igols

Where you will stay:

Mas els Igols or “Soul Farm” is a traditional 18th century Catalan farmhouse, transformed into a beautiful art-filled retreat and holiday home. An oasis-like estate surrounded by the Pènedes vineyards near Barcelona.
Bedrooms are twin rooms with an ensuite but there are limited single rooms. If this is needed for health reasons - please do let me know.

The Soul Farm is located under an hour away from Barcelona airport. I will organise the transfers. You just have to get yourself to Barcelona - the rest is taken care of.
