The Skin&Soul

3 Night Retreat

A Massage Training course made of dreams

12th -15th November 2026

somerset, uk

A fully immersive body and facial massage training for therapists who are ready to slow down, reconnect with their hands, and fall back in love with the work.

We rush from clients to family to scrolling in the gaps, convinced busy is dedication. But stillness is where intuition lives. Presence is where the real skill is.

The Skin&Soul Training Retreat was created to give you that stillness back, and, inside it, a treatment that asks everything of you: your instinct, your touch, your belief in what your hands can do.

This is the only place I'm teaching my face and body two-hour ritual. It's the same one I deliver in my own clinic. Warm oils. Curated music. Continuous, flowing movement. This is a face and body experience that still feels like an advanced facial massage treatment, but it draws on all my skills and gifts as a body and energy worker too. It isn't a treatment you perform. It's an experience you enter. I want to help you create your version, drawing on your skills and passions.... and trust me, you have so many more than you realise. Part of our weekend will be helping you to uncover them.

This retreat is for qualified professionals only.

Inside the three days, you'll move through a full two-hour Skin&Soul Experience, body and face together. From that, you'll also come away with a facial massage treatment ....my Skin&Soul Facial massage and also my most popular booking: a 90-minute back & face treatment, ready to use on their own.

Three treatments. One lineage. Split them, or hold them whole; that part is yours to decide once you've felt them in your own hands.

Why body work, why now

Because the women on my first retreat asked for it, they wanted more time, more immersion, one more night before going home. So this is what's here now, body and face, taught slowly, through experience, not instruction.

Supporting me throughout the retreat is Tracy Munro, who brings the meditation and sound sessions to life, weaving in intuitive coaching and breath work and years of holding space for women through transition, so that the work we build together has someone guiding it. She has the most beautiful Mother Earth energy and will help me support you and your journey over the 3 days.

Where

Three nights, Thursday 12th–Sunday 15th November 2026, at the Old Rectory House in Somerset, a self-contained sanctuary a short drive from Taunton, ten minutes' walk from the sea.

Everything you need is on-site: your room, your meals, the workshop space, the spa, and the studio. Once you arrive, there's nothing left to organise.

Taunton has direct trains from London and Leeds; Bristol Airport connects easily from the rest of the UK. I'll arrange a car from the station myself, so the journey in is as settled as the days that follow. Women have travelled from Yorkshire, the Wirral, and even Glasgow.

Most arrive alone. You'll be part of a group before you even get here, and by the second night you won't remember arriving as a stranger.

time to yourself

You... the therapist behind the treatment, are what we are supporting, so alongside the training, you'll have the opportunity to take part in yoga, meditation, and a sound bath. All ways of settling into your own energy before you're asked to work through someone else's. It's how the touch you learn on the tables actually lands; you feel it in yourself first.

Then there's time that's yours alone. Tucked into the grounds is a woodland spa - hot tub, sauna, cold plunge - where we'll spend a few hours as part of the retreat.

Outside of that, there is a heated pool and also the sea walks are there whenever you want them.

Some of what you learn here won't come from the workshop room at all; it'll come from whatever space you give yourself to sit with it after

Reviews

"Jo has managed to create an ingenious fusion of massage training, genuine human connection, and a safe, nurturing space to talk, share, learn, and grow. It was a tranquil haven where kindred spirits gathered, openly sharing their struggles and strengths, forming bonds that would last a lifetime."

Amy

"I find visualisation very powerful, and during the meditation I saw myself step into the future me! I loved chatting amongst us and I felt heard, loved and appreciated. When we did the facial flow on the last day, it felt so different, like I had shifted and had permission to let go and let my intuition take over"

Lisa

"I left not only with a host of incredible new massage skills but also with a newfound confidence, drive, and inspiration. It was an unforgettable weekend filled with shared moments, meaningful conversations, and lifelong connections. Our activities ranged from spa time and beach walks to meditation, yoga, and the most extraordinary sound bath."

Ready to Retreat ?

With just a few spaces, this retreat is designed to be deeply personal and immersive.
Therapists who joined us felt they experienced significant shifts, clarity, confidence, emotional healing, and a new sense of direction in both their massage and their life. The transformation was undeniable.
I’m so excited to offer this experience again.
