Opportunity to connect with likeminded people and build support
A benefit of a retreat is the opportunity to connect with likeminded people. By sharing with others you can eliminate any sense of isolation and loneliness. You can come away feeling a sense of being heard and knowing that you are not alone.
Group sessions are facilitated by Vanessa Wallace and her psychotherapeutic team bringing a family feel to the whole retreat and safety to share and be open about your feelings.
You are not asked to share more than you feel comfortably able to and there is an opportunity for 1-1 session if you prefer to not share in a group.

You will be guided through the whole experience with a workbook of your own to take home. We aim to make you feel so special and cared for during this retreat and if you have special requests as to the sessions or support you need we will do our best to accommodate this.
Full body therapeutic massage
During your stay with us you will receive a full body deep tissue massage. This is optional but is hugely beneficial in aiding recovery from anxiety and depression, releasing tension in the body caused by holding stress for long periods of time.
