"Amanda: We came as a couple and Delphiris sensitively balanced our needs both as individuals and as a couple. Her methods are non-judgemental and gently enabled me to see I was avoiding confronting certain issues about myself. The physical treatments, including Indian Head Massage and Reiki, were a wonderful compliment to the exercises we did and I've come back feeling like I've taken another valuable step on my journey. Wolfie: Tagging initially along for Cornwall's scenery and 'just a nice weekend away', I was convinced by Delphiris personal and flexible approach. I really enjoyed the talks, the exercises, the games and the treatments. Thanks for some fantasitc days and the food for thought that came with it."
Amanda and Wolfie, Buckinghamshire
"Feedback I recently had some water therapy sessions with Delphiris. I visited her earlier to discuss my needs, and she questioned me thoroughly and sympathetically to assess what treatments I needed. I immediately sensed that here was a deeply caring person. My sessions included both Water Massage to tackle the stiffness and discomfort I get from a partly paralysed leg, and Aqua Healing Touch to improve my confidence when swimming. The Water Massage has left me free of pain, stiffness and discomfort except for occasional spasms in the affected leg. The Aqua Healing Touch was an experience like no other I have ever had. To lie totally submerged under Delphiris’s kind hands was amazingly relaxing, and the complete treatment left me with profound feelings of physical and mental wellbeing, which are with me still. I’ll be asking for more! "

"Wow! what a fantastic retreat! i had great expectations of this retreat but Delphiris surpassed all of them. Firstly, I arrived in wet and windy weather and she took me straight down to the sea. That was my introduction to the Cape. then she fed me delicious mexican garlic bread and aubergine and potato salad with herbal tea. the reiki was out of this world as were all the other treatments. i learned a lot from the meditation classes as well - how to slow down and control my breathing. the chavutti thai massage was an experience - strange at first but then somehow wonderful. all in all a fantastic easter weekend and excellent value for money (think abundance). also staying with Niki next door was an absolute delight."
Michelle, London
"I booked a five day retreat with Delphiris, at the time because I had a very stressful year and needed some time to recuperate. However, just before I was due to go, I had a sudden bereavement of someone important in my life whom I love very dearly. I was in quite a state when I arrived. Delphiris was very in tune, adaptable and helpful through all of this, she somehow just seemed to find the ideal things to do with me, to help me with what I was going through. She treated me with great kindness, integrity and generosity. What we did ranged from Reiki, Thai massage, guided meditations, sound /shell healing, breathing exercises, aqua-therapy in the pool and a special day of ceremony honouring my loved one. I also went on some lovely coastal walks. All of this helped thoroughly and profoundly, during a very critical time. Delphiris has a way of bringing heart and inspiration into everything - creating a very refreshing take on life - an absolute treasure. "
Luy, London
"I spent 5 days on a healing retreat with Delphiris which was completely amazing, through guided meditation and treatments and council I have found a happy balance in my life again. the setting was beautiful and Delphiris makes you feel completly welcome and inspired. Whilst there I also encorporated a 2 day Reiki course which I undertook towards the end of my retreat which has given me skills i can share with my freinds and family and also given me tools I can use to combat stress and heal and balance me. I 100% reccomend this retreat to anyone. also on her web page it has a list of accomodation close by, I stayed with her neighbour who made me completly welcome. Go do it, it will enhance your life."
Claire Beresford, manchester
"I experienced a truly magical two day Reiki 1 training with Delphiris in the stunningly beautiful and rugged Cape Cornwall. Delphiris tailored the training to meet my individual requirements and is a warm,responsive and caring Reiki Master. I would certainly recommend this to anyone wishing to undertake Reiki training in a completely get away from it all environment. October 2008"

"I spent a relaxing and rejuvenating week on the stunning Cornish coast and have benefited greatly from my five special and nurturing sessions with Delphiris. She was able to provide me with considerable insight into the causes of my inner tensions and stress. Her treatments, which included breathing exercises, reiki and Indian head massage, have provided me with an effective basis to continue this healing process. "
Chris, London
"It's definitely been my best investment this year! Delphiris has been a great help at a time when I felt lost. The environment is amazing, and the treatments were specific to my needs. I’ve also learnt techniques to carry on my healing journey. I felt Delphiris has been very helpful in directing and accompanying me in an important time in my life, and I am very glad I requested her help. I came back relaxed, focused and very optimistic. I strongly recommend it as i'll go back there as soon as I need it again!"
Mathilde, London
"This is an excellent space to slow life down for a while and explore and create my journey. Delphiris is a special woman and her nurturing and warmth made my stay even more amazing. I did the two day break away which included two amazing therapies!Thank You:)"
Sabina, london
"My husband and I decided to try this retreat after a stressful and somewhat emotionally draining 3 years. Both of us were 'running on empty' and were in great need of some time out. Neither of us having attended a retreat before we were a little nervous about what to expect but we need not have worried. Delphiris met us on our first night and immediately put our minds at rest. She discussed with us what we hoped to get out of our time on the retreat and then set about designing a programme for us, working with us both together and and as individuals. We were introduced a variety of therapies and meditations which were truely healing and we have now returned home feeling refreshed, relaxed and rejuvenated. Our first taste of a retreat was only made better by Delphiris herself who is quiet and unassuming and is a great person to get to know. "
