Me & the Garden
My story 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 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.

The garden and surrounding countryside are also a personal place of retreat. It's where I take time to slow down, practise mindfulness, and reconnect with nature - finding quiet corners to read, reflect, and recharge. This green space feeds the soul and shapes the calm, considered approach that underpins every treatment.
This garden is more than just the setting of my home; it forms an integral part of the experience it offers. The changeing seasons, natural light and everyday sounds of nature contribute to a sense of calm and wellbeing.
The Garden Room Retreat brings together my professional experience with the restorative qualities of the natural landscape and garden, creating a quiet, contained space where people can let go, feel renewed, and reconnect with themselves.
