ABOUT
My name is Claire, I am a registered nutritionist, a functional medicine practitioner, holistic therapist and retreat host supporting women on their journey to improved health and wellness. Women have a delicate and complex hormone and immune system and this can increase the risk of auto immune conditions, an overactive nervous system and burn out. With generally more to juggle in their lives such as work, family commitments, caring responsibilities and trying to be in all places all at once there is often little time left for your own wellbeing and to refill your cup.
A retreat hosted at The Garden Sanctuary is time for you to be looked after, nurtured and cared for. By booking a solo retreat, the focus is just on you and gives you the time and space to reset by immersing yourself in the many holistic therapies on offer such as a nutritional therapy, a sound bath, reflexology, massage therapies, cranial sacral therapy or chakra healing, there is also time for walking, mindful colouring, a card reading or just talking if that’s what you need. The retreat is very flexible and is tailored for your wellness needs.
As a nutritionist, the retreat can include a full nutrition/functional medicine appointment on the first day and appropriate therapies and recommendations for your health concern be it IBS, inflammatory conditions, hormonal imbalances, weight struggles, diabetes etc.
