Kate Kurdziej is an award-winning business consultant, retreat strategist and host of sold-out business retreats in Spain, shortlisted for Best Business Retreat at the UK Retreat Awards 2026.
Hi, I'm Kate
I’ve been in business since 2020, but my relationship with clarity and freedom started long before that.
Travel is in my blood, having studied in China, worked in South Korea, volunteered in Morocco and slicing my knee open in Thailand by falling off a moped in my 20s…
Fast forward to 2019 when I was managing a wealth management practice in England. I felt trapped, like my wings were clipped, and I was ready for a new adventure.
Little did I know that my new adventure would be welcoming my son into the world during the early days of Covid-19.
In 2021, my husband and I left the UK with our (then) 18-month-old son because I realised something uncomfortable: a big mortgage and waiting for retirement was not the life I wanted to look back on.
I was built for more, and new a life abroad was the right decision.
We moved to France first, as I speak fluent French, but two years later and after some deep reflection, we did something braver.
We realised our life-long dream was no longer the right fit, so packed up our lives again and moved to sunny Spain, to a place we barely knew, because something about it felt alive.
The Mediterranean was calling us, and we answered.
Now I live on the northern Costa Blanca, one hour from Valencia.
I swim in the sea, play padel pretty poorly, drink freshly squeezed orange juice while my son plays on the beach, and meet friends for tapas in whitewashed market squares.
My ethos is simple; You only live once, so work out what your dream life looks like and make that happen one step at a time.
Every decision you make should move you closer to that goal.
That belief sits underneath everything I do for my clients.
As Seen In:
My Sun, Sea & Strategy Business Retreats
I host business retreats in Spain for founders who need space, perspective and deep thinking away from the noise of their day-to-day business.
This is where my award-winning business consultancy comes in.
These are not “take a notebook and manifest” weekends.
They are small group, strategic, high-level experiences designed to help service based business owners:
- step back from the busy
- see their business more clearly
- and make better, braver decisions
I work with female founders who are ready to scale with more simplicity, better structure and greater profitability, without burning themselves out or losing the soul of what they have built.
Transformational, life-changing and next-level are just some of the words used to describe my business retreats.
‘More breakthroughs in 4 days than in 7 years of business’ ranks as one of my favourite reflections.
Because when you get people out of their inbox and into the right environment, something shifts.
My own retreats consistently receive 10 out of 10 feedback, with 80% of guests choosing to return.
Strategic support for impactful, profitable retreats
Behind the scenes, I’m the secret-weapon strategist and creative partner for coaches, consultants and wellness practioners who want to run exceptional in-person experiences of their own.
I help you design a retreat that fits your brand, fills with the right people, and feels financially and energetically sustainable to deliver.
From positioning and pricing to legals and launch strategy, I bring the same level of thoughtfulness and clarity that goes into my own retreats to yours.
I help you to create a retreat that reflects the depth of your work, elevates your reputation, and becomes a natural extension of your business.
I have supported industry-leading coaches behind the scenes as they planned, marketed and delivered retreats around the world.
I have watched bookings open and fill with pay-in-full clients because the whole experience was strategic and aligned from the start.
Whether you are dreaming about your first retreat or ready to refine a signature experience, my role is to bring strategy, structure and calm to the process so you can focus on what you do best: holding space and creating transformation.
Professional by design. Personal by nature.
Every retreat and every strategy project is built on careful planning, integrity and attention to detail.
Kate operates as a registered travel agency in the Comunitat Valenciana, Spain, meaning retreat packages are protected by the required financial guarantee and insurance, while every consultancy service is underpinned by the same meticulous standards and expertise.
