Me & the Garden
My journey in beauty and holistic therapies began over three decades ago. During that time, I have cared for countless clients, helping them not only to look their best but also feel balanced and restored. Experience has taught me that true wellbeing goes deeper than skin - it is about calm, connection, and allowing ourselves to the space to pause and heal.
Eight years ago, my husband, Anthony, and I took on the task of saving and restoring an old farmhouse in Tockholes. The land around it was little more than a field, but we saw the potential. Through vision, hard work and a love of nature, we have created a garden that continues to grow and evolve with us - a sanctuary filled with life, beauty and tranquility.
​
Stone steps and terraces lead through borders alive with seasonal colour. A greenhouse and orchard connect us to the rhythm of the seasons, while quiet corners invite stillness and reflection. at the centre lies our koi pond, with its lilies, flowing water and graceful movement - a symbol of harmony and balance.

Alongside this natural beauty, we've created spaces to share with others. The Garden Room itself is a calm, welcoming place for treatments, filled with natural light and views of the garden. And, when the weather allows, treatments can be taken outdoors under the pergola - surrounded by fresh air, birdsong, and the healing presence of nature.
For me, this garden is more than a home - it's part of the experience I offer. Every sound, sight and season contributes to the sense of wellbeing my clients feel here. The Garden Room Retreat brings together my decades of professional expertise with the restorative energy of nature, offering a space where you can truly let go, feel renewed, and reconnect with yourself.
