our Reviewer Jo Fernández says:
‘Learning to breathe through the shock of a cold-water bath in mid-winter and sitting there for three minutes was a game-changer’
Queen of Retreats says:
‘You can put complete trust in your hosts - Julie Brealy, a coach and trainer, with a 20-year career as a semi-pro sportswoman behind her, and Juls Abernethy, a qualified hypnotherapist who has studied NLP, neuro-linguistic programming, to master’s level. Alongside them is a trusted stable of experts, from nutritionists to Pilates instructors and CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) practitioners’
