NATURE'S WAY© Retreats
Welcome to my transformative overnight and weekend retreats designed to enhance your health and well-being. Drawing from my personal wellness journey, I have curated a unique experience that incorporates various methods, modalities and strategies. Together with local small businesses and independent practitioners, I proudly present NATURE'S WAY©, an "easy to recall" holistic approach to wellness that nurtures both body and mind. Join myself and likeminded people on this journey to awaken, rejuvenate and inspire lasting lifestyle changes.
​
FIRST INTRODUCTORY RETREAT - NEW DATES FOR 2025 COMING SOON
The Space
Welcome to Pound Barn, nestled in the charming village of Wickwar, Gloucestershire. Our mission is to create a nurturing space where you can reconnect with your roots, explore your needs, and embrace a healthier lifestyle while meeting like-minded individuals. I am offering four bright and airy twin rooms—Aspen, Beech, Walnut, and Sequoia—each with bathroom access, including two with en-suites. Enjoy all-inclusive meals, drinks, and snacks, along with optional workshops and treatments for a truly rejuvenating retreat experience.
Room prices reflect the options of sharing with someone you know - full room booking OR "Care and Share" -sharing with a likeminded guest.
Collaboration and Partnership
As a self employed wellness practitioner with a focus on nurturing holistic health habits, I am keen and open to collaborate with other South Glos people offering resonating services. From Pilates to Painting, Nutrition to Knowing your Foraged Plants, I work with others to offer more.
Many of those I collaborate with are part of my circle - last page of my website - which can be viewed here.
We make use of the whole of Pound Barn, its gardens and local woodlands, fields and meadows. With options for everyone, there is time to relax and read a book plus opportunities to meet and work with local professionals and experts in their field. All workshops and sessions are optional though for the full Nature's Way experience, they are recommended.
NATURE'S WAY©
My aspiration and purpose is to support people in need of a new direction for their wellness. Holding a safe space for them to take small steps into taking responsibility for their own health. By giving opportunities to try and explore strategies and knowing that there are "different strokes for different folks". My creative mind has developed a Tree of Health, with 10 Branches, to remember and support the practices of a healthy lifestyle.
The NATURE'S WAY© Approach is my acronym to guide me, and you, to health and wellness. Exploring and experimenting with Nature, Air, Trust, Understanding, Recreation, Eating, Stillness, Water, Aspirations and YOU.
