Treatments & Therapies
Bookings to be made in person on arrival.
Reiki, Spiritual Healing & Guidance with Karen Hope
Through the channelling of divine energy in a similar manner to reiki, Karen works with the higher self and spiritual support team (angels, spiritual guides and ancestors) to get to the root cause of issues which may be causing clients to experience negativity within their lives.
Creating a sacred space for healing together, blockages are explored and released which may be limiting soul growth, causing physical discomfort, manifesting as a feeling of being stuck or a lack of clarity or influencing the overall quality of life.
Cost: £50 (Special retreat offer. Usual /off retreat price is £90)
Duration: 55 minutes
Massage, Cupping & Acupuncture with Natalie Johnson
Natalie holds a BSc in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine. She has over a decade of experience in bodywork and massage. Her favourite aspect of treating patients is assisting them towards the journey of self-discovery through the five elements in order to achieve optimal health in all areas of life. Natalie has a big love for dancing and spends a lot of her time outside of work Salsa-ing.
Natalie holds a Bachelors of Science degree in Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine, a 200 hour YTT in the inaugural Daoist Yoga Flow founded by Jean Hall and Mimi Kuo-Deemer and completed her Diploma in Complementary Medicine over a decade ago. Natalie has worked worldwide teaching and practising Qi Gong, yoga, massage, Five Elements and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Retreat FAQ's
How do I book?
Booking can be made here. All bookings require a minimum of just £8o to secure your place. For 2024 retreats we then ask that you have paid at least half of your balance owed by the end of Febuary 2023. Full balance will be due 6 weeks before the event (29th March 2024).
Can I pay monthly?
Yes, of course. If needed, payments can also be made via; bank transfer, standing order, a recurring card payment or in cash to one of our teachers/hosts. We recommend you contact us and we can support you in accessing the best payment option for you. Please note, if making a payment via bank transfer or standing order, please use your full name as a reference.
What is not included?
Transport to and from the venue is not included and will need to be arranged by yourself. If there are others on the retreat travelling from the same area, we can support you with looking into ride shares.
What happens if I need to cancel my booking?
For any bookings cancelled up to 12 weeks before the event, a full refund of any payments will be given, minus the minimum deposit value (£80). For cancellations made up to 8 weeks before the retreat, refunds will not be possible. Name changes to transfer a booking can can be made free of charge at any time. We highly advise you to take out travel insurance for your trip and stay to ensure you are compensated should you need to cancel. This would cover cancellations due to health reasons for example, having covid, or if the retreat has to be cancelled for reasons out of our control, such as a lockdown or due to extreme weather.
Do I need to bring equipment along for classes?
All equipment for classes such as yoga mats, bolsters, blocks, straps and blankets will be provided for your use (all blankets will be washed beforehand by the venue). We would advise you to bring your own yoga mat for comfort. We would also recommend that you bring an eye mask or eye pillow for relaxation based classes. We will have some eye pillows and props available to buy at the retreat.
What do I need to bring with me?
Bring comfortable clothing that can be worn for both movement sessions and when more still. There will be evening relaxation or meditation sessions, so warm relaxed clothing for the evenings is recommended. We encourage a relaxed environment.
Other items we recommend for you to bring are; trainers, a waterproof jacket, flip flops/ sandals, sun cream, swimwear, and a refillable water bottle. You may also wish to bring a notebook and/or a journal for reflection. All rooms include luxury linen, towels and natural bathing products (hand soap, shower gel & shampoo).
Can children attend the retreat?
The retreat is a women's retreat for those 18 years and older. We hope to be offering family retreats at some point in the near future. Please join our mailing list or drop us a email to be kept up to date with all events and updates.
