💚An invitation to A-pp-re-ci-a-te

🤓 Etymologically this word stems from a Latin one, which from the 1800s moved beyond the purely economical connotation to include the emotional meaning of fully valuing, understanding the worth of something or someone.

💛 Now what if you were to take in a-pp-re-ci-a-tion for yourself ... a pause to fully value how far you've come, all you do, all you are, in this moment, here and now, regardless, with the sun shining brightly directly above us.

🤗 I felt appreciation for myself, and more specifically with regards Tree Space Retreat, bubble up from within after offering a couples massage to last weekend's guests with

✨ I had the vision ( and that's not easy  to put out there in words ) to create this space with its outlook across the trees where one feels the 'outside inside' whatever the weather.

🌳Through several transformations, Tree Space Bespoke Retreat now offers guests an accessible space, away from the noise of everyday life, held by the trees.

😌 Guests can simply be here, soak up the peace and quiet, our curated book collection, the personal touches and eye for detail.

🌼Take strolls and explore trails across miles of common and woodland, the dark skies at night, and pure birdsong every morning. Be with nature.

🙏Or enjoy treatments and sessions from our carefully chosen, experienced local practitioners .uk .

🔆 It is guest feedback and our well booked calendar which informs me that our offering serves guests looking to rest and unwind; looking for deeper connection with themselves or a loved one.

And that brings a smile, softening in my being. A deep exhale. And appreciation for all who've been part of the journey to now. And also content - not needing to receive appreciation from others.

💕 Now your turn, what aspect of yourself are you appreciating, basking in, in the stillness of the coming  summer solstice in the northern hemisphere?

Why not be bold - go ahead and share in the comments 🤗💚

🍃 I have 2 new client spaces opening up in September.

This work meets you where you are; you simply show up as you are and together, we co-create a meaningful space, which moves with your rhythm.

I offer an introductory conversation for you to ask questions and to get a feel for me and how I work.

💚 Life ... in all its hues ... has been abundant with meaningful experiences, work, transitions ... leaving neither time nor inclination for reels, posts, social media in general ...

🔥 So, with fire season nigh, a little reminder of what we're about here at Tree Space Retreat -
No frills - we choose to be immersed in recreating and remembering embodied living, loving, being, connecting. With nature too.

🌳 An eco-friendly wood cabin and Nicola's biodynamic therapy clinic, which emerged organically to fully embrace the surrounding natural beauty. With a design that evokes a feel of Africa, where she grew up, Tree Space has played a significant role in her own personal journey.

💗 Clients and guests often remark on the deeply grounded and safe atmosphere, which inspires profound connection, healing and growth. Truth and constancy abide here.🙏

🌿 Conveniently located on the Surrey, Hampshire and West Sussex borders, and easily accessible from London by train or car, Tree Space offers a serene environment for regular weekly sessions, or 3-day retreats.

🪻Alongside her therapy work with clients, Nicola collaborates with experienced local complementary health practitioners to create bespoke therapeutic experiences tailored to each client's specific journey, starting from where they are when they arrive, and working with what emerges during the time and space they share together. 

We welcome you with open arms and hearts 🤗.

'The whole human organism functions as one. Structure, posture, muscle tone, movement, emotion, memory, libido, energy charge, vegetative process: all are simply different aspects of that organism's activity and of its history. They all function in one inter-relating cycle'.
Clover Southwell

In biodynamic work, the therapist has the flexibility to work with any of the above aspects of the human organism, and knows that effective work on one aspect of the organism - for example, re-awakening repressed memories, encouraging emotionally expressive movement, biological purification etc., will, in time, inevitably effect every other aspect.

Abridged from Clover Southwell's article, The Energy Distribution Treatment, 1977.

This quote applies to a specific biodynamic treatment, which helps the organism remember its autonomic capacity to distribute the organism's energy in order to self-regulate - no nervous system regulation practice required 😅

If you're tired of ever more doing, even when you're unwell, and long to feel the Joy in simply being, you'll find links to more info in my bio.

🐆 Greetings All,

As Spring gently unfurls upwards and outwards here in the northern hemisphere,

I wanted you to know that the connecting experience of a couples massage course, which I offer during Tree Space retreats, can also be enjoyed in the comfort and ease of your own home.

💗 It would be my pleasure to guide you towards what I know can be the beginnings of a beautiful awakening and deepening of your relationship with your Love, the ripples of which are expansive.

If you would like further details, please dm me.

The leopard photos were taken at Amani in the Klaserie Private Game Reserve in South Africa where I had the privilege of spending time with these graceful creatures interacting in their timeless habitat, during a morning game drive with my cousin.
