The Team
Dorothy Larios - Executive Retreat Coach
On her return to Britain in 2000, Dorothy added training in personal and executive coach to her nursing and voluntary sector career path.
Helping others to unravel the complexities of their lives, whilst still being surrounded and immersed in them, prompted Dorothy to develop the concept of the 'Coaching Retreat'. She believes that most of us benefit enormously from stopping and stepping outside our normal environment - even for a short time. Inviting her clients to step outside the home or office to meet and work with her in beautiful rural settings suddenly opened up a whole new way to communicate!
Dorothy has taken the original 'Retreat' Concept and created the modern day retreat by adding: beautiful surroundings, comfortable venues, personal coaching and a range of complementary health therapies. With Rest of Your Life, your possibilities are endless . . .

Josephine Blythe
For 18 years Josephine Blythe has been providing wealth management advice to individuals and small businesses. “I find that all clients have similar concerns but all need individual solutions. My approach is to look at the complete picture of a client’s current situation and work with them to design a plan to achieve their future goals – whatever they may be! The plan will always involve making the most of proven tax-saving techniques and will usually require ongoing review. It is important for me to build long-term relationships with clients and adjust their plans as their personal lives and their careers progress.”
