THE STORY SO FAR…

New Beginnings Retreats is the brainchild of Debbie. Whilst in a reflexology session she had the idea of a retreat that was designed for women and men going through divorce or separation. The retreats would offer support, workshops and activities in a safe space to relax, unwind and accelerate their healing journey whilst connecting with people going through a similar experience.

Debbie and Katie have been friends for over 20 years and have mutual respect and appreciation for each other and their work. They both have a background in helping others.

Debbie is a highly experienced beauty therapist offering facials, massage, reflexology and other hands-on treatments. Katie is a holistic therapist/hands-on healer that combines Reiki, The Bowen Technique, the Emotional Freedom Technique, Crystal Healing and other hands-on therapies into her unique style of healing.

Both ladies have an innate drive to help others and help bring positive changes into the lives of their clients. Debbie ran the idea by Katie who jumped at the chance of booking Debbie’s first Divorce Retreat (Katie had found herself in the middle of a divorce after what she perceived was a happy marriage). Through Katie’s enthusiasm, It was apparent that she could also bring a wealth of experience, knowledge and passion for helping others to the retreat. From that moment on, they became partners and New Beginnings began to evolve.

While planning retreats, they soon realised that it is essential to work alongside the most experienced and highly regarded coaches in the industry. Not only were they going to create a Divorce Retreat, but they decided that menopause, well-being and bereavement were all subject matters that people needed support and help with in moving forward in life.

They have spent the last six months interviewing and speaking to coaches and psychotherapists from all over the country, and are excited to have created a team of what they feel are the real experts in their fields. Bringing a specialist team to the retreats is exciting, because quality and value for investment are really important to both Debbie and Katie, to ensure their attendees have the ultimate healing experience.

They want everybody to leave any one of the retreats feeling enlightened, supported and with knowledge and tools that will be useful to them to gain clarity and control. The retreats aim to create a community of like-minded people going through similar situations and will form friendships and connections that they are sure will last longer than the retreat duration.

They look forward to welcoming you.
