Back by popular demand, Nadine Rose from Nadine Rose Wellbeing will take us through a 60 minute Pilates class in the morning.  Nadine regularly runs classes weekly at The Fintry.  Nadine is also a qualified Method Pukisto instructor that combines a stand alone technique which compliments Pilates, Yoga and Alexander Technique.   Nadine is also a Clinical Hypnotherapist and a Rapid Transformational Therapist.

I am delighted that Roberta from Weybridge Salsa will be joining us for an hour of Salsa Dancing.  Roberta has taught Salsa in different venues across London.  More recently, she has obtained her ISTD Intermediate Ballet Qualification.  Her extensive training, and interest in different dance genres makes her a versatile and enthusiastic teacher.

Salsa is a fun and uplifting social dance which benefits both the body and soul.   Roberta also has experience of working at Corporate events, Team Bonding sessions & single sex classes and so will put together for us a fun individual salsa routine.

In the afternoon Steve Shipley will host his QiGong session.  Discover the calming and healing power of QiGong, the ancient Chinese practice that combines gentle movement with breathing for health and vitality.  Steve also teaches Yoga, Mindfulness Meditation.

They say when one door closes, another one opens and that definitely is my case!

Having enjoyed a wonderful 30 year career as a Retail Manager with the John Lewis Partnership, the chapter ended happily with Voluntary Redundancy. I retrained as a Massage and Beauty Therapist. So far in my new career, I have worked with two big brands: Aveda and Facegym. The foundations from my John Lewis career have always been the customer service journey and this is where I thrive. Ensuring my service to my clients is always first class and is of paramount importance to me.

My very first Wellness Retreat in the summer of 2022 was a success. My vision was to create a space where one could go to relax, take time out, enjoy some nourishing food, have a spa treatment and try a Yoga class. For some, it was their first taste of meditation, yoga and even a Hot Stone Massage!

My ethos and passion is to give people the opportunity to take time out of their busy lives and enjoy a peaceful and relaxing time away from the stresses of today: this really has been so timely, with many people more stressed, overworked and the fact that many companies are squeezing more out of us, with some ‘engines’ running very low! Simply turning up to my events with all the planning and organising being taken care of, means that our guests can fully unwind and take time out for themselves.

We then moved our retreats to the tranquil, peaceful, The Fintry Trust in the Surrey Hills. This proved a popular venue, set in beautiful grounds.
