Real retreat business experience
Meet Tim Lamborn
Founder of Retreat Launch and the entrepreneur behind retreat brands that have generated more than £10 million in retreat sales.
Tim LambornFounder, Retreat Launch
Built through real operations
Practical experience, not generic business theory
Tim launched OnTrack Retreats in 2016 and went on to build, market and operate health, fitness and weight-loss retreat businesses across the UK, Spain, Thailand and Australia.
Across OnTrack Retreats, NuYu Retreats and Chi of Life Retreats, Tim has developed retreat concepts, built predictable lead and sales systems, created automated CRM and follow-up operations, negotiated retreat venue agreements with world-class, industry-leading hospitality brands, and helped generate more than £10 million in retreat sales.
His experience comes from filling real retreats, managing pricing and margins, building high-volume enquiry pipelines, working with venues, improving conversion rates and responding to changes in customer demand. He understands the commercial detail required to turn a strong retreat idea into a business that can consistently attract, follow up and convert customers.

Marketing and sales infrastructure
World-class automated operations built to be transferred
Retreat Launch helps clients avoid years of trial and error by implementing the commercial systems already proven across established retreat brands.
CRM and lead management
Structured pipelines that capture every enquiry, organise lead status, assign follow-up activity and create visibility across the complete sales journey.
Email sales funnels
Automated email sequences that educate prospects, build trust, answer objections, showcase client proof and move leads towards a consultation or booking.
SMS and WhatsApp follow-up
Integrated messaging systems that support email campaigns, increase response rates and keep warm prospects moving through the decision process.
Sales conversion systems
Lead qualification, consultation structure, scripts, follow-up schedules, objection handling and reporting designed to improve conversion at every stage.
Performance and optimisation
Clear reporting across advertising, enquiry generation, follow-up and sales so campaigns can be improved based on real commercial data.
Systems designed to copy and paste seamlessly into a new business
The aim is not to leave clients with a strategy document they must somehow implement alone. Retreat Launch can build the working commercial infrastructure and adapt it to the client’s brand, market, programme, pricing and customer journey.
This means a new retreat business can begin with a connected operating system rather than disconnected tools. Paid advertising generates enquiries, the website captures them, the CRM organises them, automated email and messaging funnels maintain contact, and the sales process gives the team a clear route from first enquiry to confirmed booking.
Every system is tailored to the new business, but the structure is informed by years of practical learning and proven retreat marketing. This gives founders a significantly faster route to a professional, measurable and scalable sales operation.

Why Retreat Launch exists
To help serious founders build a commercially sound retreat business
Many retreat founders begin with professional expertise and a strong programme but without the financial model, marketing infrastructure or sales process required to build a sustainable business. Retreat Launch brings these elements together from the start.
