Friday 12th May – Monday 15th May 2023

I am delighted to announce that I am holding a wellbeing retreat at the beautiful Petrock Holiday Cottages in Newton St Petrock within the North Devon Area of Outstanding Beauty.

We all need time to ourselves, to step away from our busy lives and the constant demands on us whether that be work, home or family. Gift yourself some time to switch off, reflect, refocus and replenish whilst connecting back to you. There is nothing selfish about self-care. If you don’t take good care of yourself, then you can’t take good care of anyone else – remember we can’t give what we don’t have.

This is for you if:

You are feeling overwhelmed, are flat out and flailing.
You are sinking under a tide of over commitment, time poor, exhausted and feeling resentful
You have lost your way and need time to reconnect back to yourself.
You just want to step off the treadmill of life and have some time and space for yourself.

During this intimate retreat we will enjoy a daily meditation practice, 2 workshops where we focus on our needs, where they may not be met currently and how to readdress that and use EFT/Tapping to release stress, anxiety and anything else that comes up to be cleared. We will take time to explore and journal our feelings. At the end of the day we will enjoy time around the fire pit sharing stories or just star gazing.

I will share with you some tools which will support you in your daily life. Come and join us for a few days, to ‘JUST BE YOU’, to unwind and replenish.

We will enjoy some healing, nourishing home cooked food and enjoy an Ayurvedic talk and food.

You will have time to relax, curl up with a book, take a nap or head out and explore the local countryside or sea air – the choice is yours!

Testimonials

For a few days I stepped out of my life as I know it and trusted in the moment! I wouldn't know where to start about what happened, however, what I can easily say is that I have come home a different person than when I left. I've come back believing in my path, believing in me, believing in the love of others, and knowing, completely knowing that there is nothing to fear. I wouldn't be able to say what one thing has helped, I do see it as a chain of events that led perfectly, one after the other, to today! I honestly couldn't thank Samantha enough for her perfect support and perfect guidance. Her perfect garden, with perfect trees and perfect birds. I have been blessed to have had the chance to spend this time with such an amazing and caring person who is nothing less than magic with the way she promotes healing and self-realisation.

Having been diagnosed for the second time in my life with Endometriosis and feeling completely exhausted after another very painful weekend, discombobulated and pretty frustrated I called the lovely Samantha, who told me to come to her if my family could spare me for a few days. Sam is my Reiki Master; I have known her for many years and totally trusted her when she said she was quite sure she could help me with a new technique she had just learned. So I pumped myself with painkillers and drove myself to North Devon to see her. She gave me my first EFT treatment (Emotional freedom technique or more simply "tapping on acupuncture points") and Matrix Reimprinting. Honestly, even if I work with energy and am quite open minded, I couldn't see how it could work for me. I am just so glad I listened to her and so grateful by her amazing welcome. The next day when I woke up, I realised that I had actually slept through the night! Then I noticed that I wasn't in pain, and when I got out of bed, the pain didn't come back when I started moving around. It was the first time in 3 months that I was pain-free, and I have been pretty much all the time since then. I can't explain how it felt, it was simply wonderful. Since my stay with Sam, it feels like my life has been given to me again.
