A STRATEGIC BREAK
Feeling stressed, stuck, or simply… exhausted?
You know you perform well. But you also know you’re on autopilot.
If stress has become your default state, if your body keeps sending you signals, and if it’s getting harder to enjoy the simple things… it’s time to pause.
At LeaderUp, we help you break that cycle. With a short, strategic and effective pause. We work with your body, mind and subconscious to release tension, reset your system, and reconnect with your balance and inner strength.
No distractions. No obligations.
Just 4 days to finally focus on you.
“I thought I was fine until I realised how much better I could feel.
This retreat gave me back my energy.”
Laura, Entrepreneur (Spain)
A DIFFERENT APPROACH
A method designed for leaders like you.
We come from the same world. Both César and Paulina know what it’s like to sustain high performance for too long, to always be ‘on’, and to put wellbeing last.
That’s why we created LeaderUp: to help you restore your energy, clarity, and direction - without adding more to your to-do list.
At the retreat, we work with simple yet powerful techniques like subconscious reprogramming, NLP and executive coaching, meditation, conscious movement and deep relaxation, and micro-habits you can apply effortlessly.
Everything is designed so this experience creates lasting improvements in your everyday life, not just a short-lived high.
Two complementary approaches
At LeaderUp, we bring together two ways of supporting you that, together, change everything:
Paulina helps you slow down and come back to yourself. Her practices in breathwork, movement and reconnection are designed for high-performing leaders who need real results: release tension, sleep better, calm your mind, and recharge.
César brings structure, clarity, and focus. With a direct and grounded approach, he combines executive coaching and subconscious techniques to help you spot what you’ve been missing: draining patterns, postponed decisions, and distractions pulling you off course.
Where Paulina creates space, César brings self-awareness. We’re different, and that’s exactly what makes our approach unique: pause and progress, presence and action, recovery and projection.
Sometimes you don’t realise how much you’re carrying… until you stop. This is your moment to understand what’s draining your energy and how to get your focus, clarity, and inner strength back.

This retreat is for you if...
Everything looks fine on the outside… but something feels off.
-
You know you’re tired, but never find the right moment to stop.

You’re craving a real pause, free from noise and pressure.

YOUR DAY-TO-DAY EXPERIENCE
A programme made exclusively for you
At LeaderUp, we don’t do one-size-fits-all. Before the retreat, you’ll complete a short questionnaire to help us understand where you are, what’s draining you, and where you want to go.
From there, we tailor each edition to the group’s real needs, so you can work on what truly matters to you.
You'll have plenty of time to rest on your own or connect with others in a slow-paced setting surrounded by nature.
