"I highly recommend Andi as a speaker for our leadership course. Her intelligence shines through in every session, and her great personality adds a unique touch to the learning experience.

Andi’s confidence and self-awareness are truly inspiring, and it’s evident that she has a wealth of knowledge and experience. Attending her sessions feels like being guided by a professional and personal coach who is not only well-educated, but also has valuable real-life experiences.

She is an exceptional speaker who undoubtedly enhances the quality of the leadership course."

“It was an insightful session with Andrea O'Mahony, where we explored the leadership mindset in the course "Leadership, Communication, and Interpersonal Skills – Leadership Through Self-Mastery."

We delved into key topics such as communication, interpersonal relationships, and the development of emotional intelligence. We also examined how to identify and adapt different leadership styles, ultimately shaping us into well-rounded professionals - empathic in character, skilled in practice, emotionally intelligent, and, most importantly, strong leaders.

She reminded us "We are the authors of our own lives."

“I’m delighted to say that I have been offered the role of Head of Strategic Planning and received very positive feedback on my application and interview!

I am over the moon, and extremely relieved to have completed the process with a positive outcome – I can’t thank you enough for your support and guidance. You have helped me practically in completing the recruitment process and, most significantly, you helped me to have the confidence and self-belief to overcome my hang-ups from previous experiences and not let them stop me achieving what I wanted this time around.”

“I just wanted to feed back how positive I have found our sessions to be. Right from the start, you made me feel at ease and “pitched” the sessions in a way that made me feel most comfortable. The key challenge which we worked on was ultimately my self-doubt and the way I perceived myself both in the role and with my colleagues. My confidence has grown as a result of our sessions and this is mainly due to the ability to recognise my self-worth and what I “bring to the table” in what is quite a large organisation.

The result of our sessions is my ability to make clearer, more definitive decisions and an increased ability to sit back and reflect. An eye opener throughout was that such sessions didn’t tell me what to do, or how to do it, but make me realise that I have the answers – I just needed the focus and support to bring this to the surface.

So, thank you for your input and time. If I had my way I would always have an Andi in my life, but even without that continued support, what I have been left with is the knowledge that I can process these things myself. I hope our paths cross again in the near future.”

“Having recently completed a set of coaching sessions with Andi I can truly say that I feel so much clearer about my vision for the future and how I am going to achieve my goals.

Not only did Andi provide me with valuable tools to achieve my goals, but she also offered support and encouragement throughout the process.

Andi’s positive energy and genuine interest in my success made me feel motivated and inspired to move forward. Her expertise and guidance helped me unlock my potential and overcome some of the obstacles that were holding me back.

I would highly recommend Andi to anyone looking to make changes in their personal or professional life.”

“My experience of being coached by Andrea has been extremely positive. She is insightful and able to analyse the key issues by listening to what was being said; as well as unsaid, and asking penetrating questions and a fresh perspective. As a result, I have been able to pinpoint areas for change, think through different approaches, and then focus on taking action.

The impact of her coaching has been far reaching and has materially improved my ability to empower, develop and challenge those I work with. The results have been evident both to myself and others. I have been able to put this learning into practice not only in my business but also my personal life

“I arrived at the retreat and expected a peaceful yoga retreat, what I got was a life changing experience that I will treasure forever.

From the moment we arrived, Andi was warm and welcoming and we settled in very quickly with a wonderful meal and a dip in the pool, overlooking the beautiful mountain scenery. The rest of the days that followed were simply sublime. The combination of morning yoga classes, spiritual workshops and meditation and nidra yoga at night opened up a new world to me, and helped me learn new skills that I can continue to practice at home.

The rest of the time was incredibly relaxing and I was happy to spend it with so many inspiring people. Everything from the nutritious and homemade food, beautiful surroundings and wellbeing sessions made it a trip I will never forget. Thank you to Andi and the team!“

“This retreat was possibly one of the best weeks I have had away. It came at the right time for me.

I’ve travelled around the world and can honestly say I could not recommend anywhere else that will give you as much. It’s relaxing, it’s beautiful, the people are full of warmth.

The food was amazing and the energy of the people enjoying the retreat with us was awesome.

Definitely a Happy Retreat. Can’t thank the team enough.”

“If you’re thinking about going on a retreat, I can highly recommend Happy Retreats. I was a slightly anxious solo traveller, but from the moment I met Andi in Spain, I immediately felt relaxed and welcome.

I chose the arts and crafts retreat and learnt about painting with watercolours and acrylics … Andi works hard to make sure everyone is happy and well fed with her own home cooked vegan and vegetarian food - all was delicious - the vegan chocolate cake was the best!

There was plenty of time to relax in the beautiful grounds - go for a walk, read, swim in the pool. It gave me the space I needed to reflect on my life and make some positive changes.

Thank you Andi and everyone in the team 😊”

“I have just returned from an absolutely fabulous experience at Happy Retreats. It was truly magical.

Andi is such a phenomenal host, making us all feel so welcome and relaxed. The retreat was superb, so quiet and comfortable. Facilities excellent. And the food was truly amazing!

The Pilates in the morning which brilliant. Anna was a fantastic instructor. Thoroughly loved the experience.

The atmosphere at Happy Retreats was so tranquil and relaxing, really tapping into our inner wellbeing. The sound bowl experience with Sarah was so inspiring and moving. There were so many wonderful relaxing activities available, including visiting the local town which was so beautiful and a real treat to see.

Thank you Andi for the wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend it and look forward to the next time.”

“Just back from a fantastic retreat at Javea.

Andrea is an amazing host and a superb chef. Our Pilates teacher was great and the location was lovely. I would highly recommend the retreat.

Make sure you also have a massage!”

Michelle H., Buxton

“The Happy Retreat at Javea was amazing.

The accommodation was beautiful, with lovely walks around it, the food was fabulous Andi provided some really wonderful meals.

What Andi does best however is to provide a space for you to relax, you can engage with the activities she provides such as Pilates, mindfulness, massages or you can feel free to do your own thing when and how you want to.

You come away feeling the benefits of that special space. I would highly recommend the retreats.”

“I have just finished a 4 night yoga retreat with Andi and her wonderful group of people. It was exactly what I needed, a disconnection, a reboot, a new way of looking at life and my issues.

All I can do is recommend it highly for the love and attention given, wonderful vegetarian food and its marvellous setting.

Thank you Andi, Shaz, Hanif and Julie for an inspiring experience.”

“We went here for a 7-day retreat, and it really was so wonderful!

Between the refreshing pool, the beautiful property, the rolling hills of Ulea setting a wonderful backdrop, the rejuvenating yoga, and the several outings we made as a group, I walked away from Happy Retreats as a happy camper!”
