Founded by Sandra Peat and Natasha Serlin, Grace + Fire embodies the balance between acknowledging where you are in life (Grace) and reigniting the passion and drive within you (Fire). It's not a destination, but a journey of self-discovery and empowerment for women navigating the complexities of midlife.
Grace + Fire Reviews
Fiona
The Grace + Fire Purpose workshop gave me an opportunity to focus on me for a change. It helped me to see that there has been purpose to everything I have done since leaving the workplace. I felt encouraged to explore my own thoughts with no judgement.
Caroline
The Grace + Fire workshop gave me the opportunity to explore what I have to offer as well as the values that make me tick.... I could take time out to focus on my wants and needs in a completely safe, calm and welcoming space. All of this with yoga, yummy lunch and lovely people in a similar situation to me.
Amber
Finding space and time to work on redefining yourself after motherhood and during perimenopause is uncomfortable but important work. The Grace + Fire workshop offers an opportunity to do this in a supportive environment alongside women who are just like you. Inspiring and humbling, it gives the gift of realising that you are not alone on your journey.

Meet the Team
Sandra Peat and Natasha Serlin are the Co- Founders of Grace + Fire
Sandra Peat
Sandra is a brand strategist and executive coach by trade.
In her 40s Sandra was diagnosed with breast cancer and made redundant at her work. These life challenges prompted her to re-evaluate her life and her definition of success. This led Sandra to realise that she needed to reframe what brought her fulfilment. It sparked an incredible journey of self-discovery, and a desire to create something meaningful that could help other women facing similar midlife challenges.
Natasha Serlin
Natasha is an acclaimed ex-BBC documentary maker.
As a film-maker Natasha was well-known for capturing heartfelt stories reflecting personal growth, but in recent years, after the loss of a parent, she turned her focus to her own journey, exploring Art and Shamanism and training as a yoga teacher.
These explorations (alongside cold-water swimming) all contributed to her ability to successfully navigate a challenging divorce and emerge stronger than ever.
Natasha is passionate about supporting women in mid-life, sharing the insights she has gained, and through Grace + Fire she aims to inspire women to reclaim their joy and purpose.
