Testimonials

Dear Amanda, thank you so much for providing this day retreat. Like everything you do, it was by far and away one of the best retreats I have attended. The location was chosen perfectly. The way you organised the whole day was perfect too. I loved the Chi Gung and dancing. I have never come across anybody who can do these things and have such a profound impact on those that attend. You have changed and are changing my life for the better. Your retreat was like spending a day in heaven! Love Shuman

Dear Amanda, thank you for a lovely day yesterday. I had a good nights sleep last night, for the first time for a while my body felt “comfortable”, love Julie

Julie Colt, UK

Of course, there are loads of meditation & yoga teachers around. But Amanda is special. I have been a practitioner for over 30 years and have taken classes all over the world. She is unique in what she offers. She has pioneered her own form of incredibly relaxing yoga and meditation practice. Her voice has an immediate calming effect and her gentle and encouraging approach are a true antidote to the stresses of modern life.
