Empowering Women Through Adventure and Retreats

Sophie began hosting retreats through Re:vert Fitness with a powerful intention- to create a space where women could feel completely themselves. In a world where women are often worried about how they appear- in friendships, family, and society, her retreats offer a safe, uplifting environment for women to let go of those pressures and reconnect with their true selves.

While her retreats focus on wellness, movement, and nutrition, they are about much more than just fitness. They’re about self-discovery, connection, and giving women permission to be unapologetically themselves. Sophie’s inspiration for this came from her own journey- growing up with low confidence, often trying to fit into a mold to please others.

The turning point came when she fell in love with the outdoors. “It changed everything for me,” Sophie says. “It was actually my dad who got me into the outdoors. We used to climb and hike together, and still do. He taught me to love exploring and being outside helped me find freedom and peace. There’s a quote I love: ‘The best thing about the outdoors is there’s quite literally space for everybody- physically and metaphorically.’ It’s a place where no one judges you.”

Her retreats are built around this spirit, curating immersive experiences in beautiful places around the world that combine movement, mindfulness, great food, laughter, and fun. Whether it’s hiking in the Dolomites, sipping wine in Tuscany, paddle boarding by the coast, or simply enjoying a peaceful walk, the retreats are about balance: reconnecting with nature, forming meaningful friendships, and learning to enjoy life to the max. Sophie says. “I want people to feel good in themselves and explore what they’re capable of- physically, emotionally, mentally.”

One of the most common questions she gets is, “Can I come alone?” And the answer is always yes. Many women do, and in many cases, they haven’t done anything just for themselves in years. “It’s such a joy to watch people come on their own, unsure or nervous, and leave feeling strong, connected, and empowered,” she says. “Everyone arrives as strangers and leaves as something so much more.”

Sophie makes sure there’s no pressure- every activity is optional. Some guests do everything, some take time alone. The environment is supportive, inclusive, and shaped around each individual. “Everyone brings something whether it’s emotional or physical, something they want to let go of or work through” she says. “This is a space for that.”

She designs each retreat around destinations she knows and loves-, like the Lake District where she still hikes with her dad, or Albania’s rugged mountains, or Italy’s stunning coast and countryside. Upcoming retreats include ski trips in Europe (Sophie’s been snowboarding for 18 years) and future plans in Morocco, Iceland, Croatia, and Greece.

Sophie’s journey into fitness started when she became a personal trainer, and it was during this time that she met Emma, a talented photographer and videographer. The two quickly connected over coffee, and within weeks, Emma joined Sophie in the mountains to capture the experience. Now they travel Europe together, telling the stories of the retreats through beautiful, emotional content.

“We work with brands that care and have meaning and purpose. Because yes, we’re running businesses, but we care deeply about people while doing that. That matters so much to me,” Sophie shares. “Emma is incredible at capturing the heart of it all and I’m so grateful to have her join me on this journey.”

Through Revert Retreats, Sophie isn’t just helping women move better- she’s helping them live better, freer, and more fully themselves. Something we find incredibly inspiring and value her commitment.
