I'm so excited to let you know that bookings for my next retreat day are now open.
Held at Riverside Wellbeing in the Peak District, located within an hour of Manchester, surrounded by beautiful countryside.
Get grounded and connected with the wisdom of healing that somatic and embodied practices can offer, such as intuitive āsana, Shake the Dust, Embodied Yin and more.
Greeting this seasonal juncture with mantra, meditation, community, journaling, sharing and more!
Reflecting on what has come to pass for you and what is in abundance, even in the toughest of times. Celebrating the uniqueness that is you! An opportunity to recognise hope, and a new season.
Inclusive of a ceremonial cacao ceremony to return to our hearts, carefully curated embodiment practices, guided meditations to support our theme, authentic movement, deeply restful practices and supported relaxation, time to share & connect with others, journaling practices, and a wonderfully nourishing lunch!
In Traditional Chinese Medicine the fire element is the element of summer. We use this opportunity to return to and enrich the Heart. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the organ of the heart has a much broader meaning than an organ which provides us with a pulse. The Heart is responsible for our mental and emotional wellbeing, and we can see and feel when we are nourishing the Heart when we feel balanced - sleep is good and the mind is calm. It is easy however at this time of year when there is a flurry of activity for the fire element to fall out of balance. Everything is in movement and things are busy! This day will provide you with plenty of tools to fall back into yourself.
Come and BE and also practice some much needed tools to thrive. This day will offer a space to practice, connect, rest in nature, and share with others so that you can re-connect, restore and reflect on purposefulness, felt sense and your own unique being.
Come and get curious about what new patterns you are laying down in your life and what is changing within you and around you.
Not only improve and dedicate time to your mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing but also meet likeminded people to connect and inspire.

What are others saying?
“I’ve never attended a wellness retreat before and Sally made me and everyone else feel really, really at ease the whole day. There was so much variety in the activities throughout the day making it exciting. Leading up to the day I had been feeling really tense physically and mentally, as well as a bit bored with things in everyday life. By the end I felt powerful, calm and ready for the next big changes in my life, with a much less busy mind. Plus the social aspect of meeting other lovely women was really nourishing after all the disconnection during the lockdowns. If you’re interested in any aspect of a retreat with Sally just go along and enjoy it- she makes it so easy!”
““Spending a day with Sally and meeting brilliant new women on the new moon retreat was everything I needed to help banish the stresses of the last year. It was in the most incredible setting and I came away feeling refreshed and renewed and floated in to my week. The day just flew by and had so many treats in store - aside from the delicious food - that made it great value for money””
“I went to this last Sunday and it was amazing. The session was invigorating and relaxing for both body and mind and Sally is just lovely. It really set me up for the week ahead.
I know that it might seem expensive vs a gym class or membership but they’re not comparable. I absolutely can’t wait for the next one.”
“There are so many wonderful things I would love to say about the retreats I have been on with Sally but as this is a review and not a book, I will keep it short!
I have been on 2 retreats now, an all-day one and a 4-hour afternoon one. Going in I felt a little tired and disconnected with myself, the way the retreats are structured ensures you float out feeling completely the opposite, I felt invigorated, sure of myself and knew what I needed to do to regain some of that connection .
I loved the cocoa ceremony at the beginning, and this is something I have brought into my day-to-day life, I loved shake the dust yoga and found allowing myself to move in whatever way I wanted entirely profound! I now have mat sessions in which I just move, however I like, I feel free and at ease with the world again!
The food on both of the retreats was excellent, everything was plant based, I was inspired to bring a little more plant based into my life! The truffles! Oh my gosh the truffles!
The goody bags were an amazing touch, a nice little addition to my home practice, allowing me to bring a little relaxation home with me!
All in all I loved every minute of these retreats, they were what I never knew I needed in my life! Oh and of course there is Sally! A wonderful, serene, judgement free, joyous woman!”
