THE UNWINDING

The Unwinding Retreats & Nature Experiences.

A journey shaped by two worlds that may seem very different, but have always felt beautifully connected to me - the corporate world and the world of holistic wellness. With over 20 years’ experience in the corporate world and as a Aromatherapist and facilitator of other holistic modalities, I have developed a unique understanding of both the practical and personal sides of life. Over time, these two skills sets have naturally merged, allowing me to create experiences that support not only relaxation and wellbeing, but also personal growth, self-empowerment and self-love. I have always had a deep love for nature and a passion for helping people feel nurtured, restored and connected to themselves. I believe that sometimes we simply need to step away from the demands of everyday life, breathe, reconnect with nature and give ourselves permission to unwind. It was from this passion that The Unwinding was born – a retreat and wellness company created to give people the space to pause, reconnect and rediscover themselves. Welcome!

  • You will be in beautiful surroundings every day.
  • The food is good and there is plenty of it.
  • You will not have to organise anything.
  • Most people sleep better by the second night.
  • You won't know what's hit you - you will be so relaxed.

Things we will not claim

  • That this is therapy, or a substitute for it.
  • That it will heal, cure or treat anything.
