“I felt accepted as I am. The kindness of John and Nina was outstanding — they genuinely cared about my wellbeing. It was a truly special retreat.”
— Jacqui (BookRetreats, Nov 2025)
Welcome to Wheston Health Retreat
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, emotionally tired, or simply sensing that you need space to reset, we warmly invite you to step away for a few days and join us here at our home in the peaceful Peak District countryside.
Wheston is a small, family-led emotional healing retreat where guests are supported to slow down, breathe again and begin easing the emotional weight they may have been carrying.
Our retreats are hosted by myself and my dad. Our work naturally complements each other, bringing together grounded, science-informed nervous system practices with gentle intuitive emotional guidance.
With time, compassionate support and space away from daily pressures, many guests begin to feel calmer, clearer and more able to move forward.
A Calm and Supportive Retreat Experience
Retreats at Wheston are intentionally small, with a maximum of four guests.
This allows for a warm, personal atmosphere and the flexibility for each retreat to unfold at a natural, unhurried rhythm.
Days include guided mindfulness sessions, meditation, reflective workshops, time in nature and opportunities for one-to-one support.
​
There is space to rest.
Space to talk.
And space simply to be.
​
In this calm environment, guests often experience meaningful realisations and gentle breakthroughs that can support emotional healing and renewed confidence.
Choosing the Right Retreat for You
Each Wheston retreat offers a slightly different emotional focus, helping you choose the experience that best supports where you are in life.
​
🌿 Mindfulness & Emotional Reset Retreat
A gentle retreat for calming the nervous system, reducing overwhelm and gaining clarity.
🌿 Emotional Spring Clean Retreat
For those who feel emotionally full or stuck and are ready to begin clearing past experiences and creating space for change.
🌿 Ho’oponopono New Beginnings Retreat
A heart-centred retreat focused on forgiveness, emotional healing and moving forward after grief or relationship difficulty.
A Gentle Invitation
You do not need to have everything figured out before coming on retreat.
Many guests simply know they need space.
From that space, steadiness, clarity and quiet hope can begin to grow.
