“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
Nestled in the peaceful Peak District countryside, Wheston Health Retreat is a small, family-run wellbeing retreat where we open our home to those looking for a little time and space away from everyday life.
​
As a father-and-daughter team, we offer a warm, personal and non judgmental environment, welcoming a maximum of four guests at a time.
Our retreats bring together guided meditation, wellbeing workshops, time in nature, energy treatments and personal support, helping you to rest, reflect, recharge and reconnect with yourself.
​
For those seeking a more individual experience, we also offer bespoke one-to-one retreats, tailored to your personal needs.
​
Our hope is that you leave feeling lighter, more balanced and better equipped to bring a little of that calm into everyday life.
​
Whether you join us here in person or explore our resources from home, our approach remains warm, personal and supportive.
​
​
More Than a Retreat
Wheston is a place for emotional wellbeing, personal growth and continued inner practice.
​
Our residential retreats are at the heart of what we do, but the support does not have to end when you leave.
​
Through our retreats, courses, guided meditation library and Living Practice Circle, we offer different ways to understand yourself, develop practical skills and continue bringing greater calm, awareness and balance into everyday life.
​
You can begin wherever feels right for you — by coming to a retreat, exploring a course, practicing with one of our meditations or joining us online.​​
