A place to learn new skills, rest and reconnect

The Skin&Soul Retreat

A training course made of dreams

10th -12th April 2026 | somerset, uk

A fully immersive Habia endorsed facial massage training experience, created exclusively for therapists who want to reconnect with their creativity, deepen their skill and fall back in love with their work.

In our busy world, we often forget to pause and simply be. We rush from clients to family life, to scrolling in our downtime, convinced busy is dedication.

But when we stop, rest, and reconnect, everything shifts. Stillness brings intuition, creativity, and a deeper sense of presence.

The Skin&Soul Retreat was created to help you slow down, realign with your gifts, and learn powerful, intentional facial massage skills that feel deeply supportive and meaningful.

The retreat is held on 10th - 12th April 2026 at the beautiful Old Rectory House in Somerset, a peaceful and self-contained sanctuary just a short drive from Taunton and a 10-minute walk to the sea. Once you arrive, everything is on site: accommodation, meals, workshops, spa facilities, and our wellbeing & training studio, so you can fully switch off and settle into the experience. Taunton has an excellent direct train service from London and even Leeds, and Bristol Airport connects easily to the rail network. I’ll be arranging a car to collect anyone arriving at Taunton station, making your journey smooth from start to finish. On the last retreat, we welcomed therapists from Yorkshire, the Wirral, and even Glasgow!

Everyone travelled solo, so please don’t worry if you’re coming alone, you’ll be added to a group chat beforehand to start connecting, and the time we spend together always creates the most beautiful, supportive bonds. The combination of luxury, tranquillity, sea views, and thoughtful details creates the perfect environment for deep rest, reflection, and transformation.

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 8 spaces, this retreat is designed to be deeply personal and immersive.
Every therapist who joined the last one experienced significant shifts in clarity, confidence, emotional healing, and a new sense of direction in both their facial massage and their life. The transformation was undeniable.


I’m so excited to offer this experience again.
If you feel called, don’t wait. I’d be honoured to hold this space for you.
