About
Time for you
Each Retreat provides a unique opportunity for you to take precious time for yourself. From the moment you arrive, you will be invited to relax, let go, and be guided through a day of complete bliss and self care. All retreats include Yoga or Pilates, meditation, a walk in nature, a wellbeing workshop, and delicious, healthy homemade food.
In nature
My Retreats are set in stunning locations across the North York Moors National Park. Venues are chosen for their beautiful energy, their natural setting and their breathtaking surroundings. Getting outdoors is a key aspect of the day and provides a wonderful opportunity to breath in the fresh air and move in nature.
Nourish and re-charge
Every aspect of the day is designed to nourish your mind and body. From the day's menu, which is designed and cooked by Nicola using her skills as a Nutrition Coach and passionate cook; to the wellbeing workshops carefully chosen to provide you with a new and enriching experience; through to the little 'touches' on the day designed to enliven your senses.
2026 Retreats
