Hello from Greece!

Did you know that your history is hidden in your muscular habits? My work is all about unravelling the tension that you have learnt over the years. These tensions go on to form how you think, act and behave in the long term.

I love gathering people and taking them away from the stresses of life to introduce new ways to sense, think and move.

We have had many epiphanies, one woman swam in the sea wearing a swimming costume for the first time in 15 years. Another managed her first downward dog without pain or anxiety. Another spent the first time on her own for many years. Another learnt to calm her hypervigilance after a few traumatic events. Others will go back with a resolve to change their lives to suit them better.

What I teach is not exercise. It is a method that will transform the idea of yourself that you hold in your brain. This self-image either limits you or frees you.

The Soothe Retreats are a deep dive into transforming your limiting habits. Sunshine, sea, juicy movement, nourishing food, kind community ( I seem to attract lovely and interesting people who all go on to become friends).

You really need to come.

Here are the 2026 retreat dates:

27^th June – 4^th July

10^th – 17^th October

I take on three villas, all within walking distance of each other: Luca, Naya and Theia ( the hosting villa) each villa has:

Upper ground – room with ensuite bathroom + adjacent separate toilet

Lower ground

Room with ensuite bathroom

2 x rooms which share a bathroom

All villas have an infinity pool, kitchen, washing machine and an iron.

The price for 2026 will be £2,995 for all teaching, accommodation and two meals a day

Not included: transfers, flights, treatments, alcohol and soft drinks and excursions.

The retreats sell out fast so if you would like to come, let me know asap. You will need to pay 50% now as a non-refundable deposit and the balance is due on 1^st February ( June retreat) and 1^st June ( October retreat).

Please let me know you want to come with an indication of the room, all are allocated on a first come, first served basis.
