Jools Sampson created her retreat company, Reclaim Your Self Retreats, (@reclaimyourself) in 2005 and she has been designing and leading global retreats ever since. She is an industry pioneer with a passion for finding locations where retreats don’t usually happen and building innovative retreats from scratch.
With a background in international development and time spent living and working in East Africa, she is a passionate advocate for positive impact tourism. Reclaim Yourself specialises in transformational trips in remote paradise locations. It is now one of the leading retreat companies in the UK, running sold out trips that feature regularly in the press. Jools is also the Co-Founder of Retreat Creators, sharing her experience and wisdom with the retreat leaders of tomorrow.
Jools is member of the Conscious Travel Foundation, Tourism Declares, Women in Travel and with her BCorp application in process, she is part of a movement to lead the UK wellness industry into a more responsible and regenerative future
