🌿THE PILATES & WELLBEING RETREAT🌿
Following the huge success of our previous retreats, we're delighted to invite you back for another wonderful four-day retreat at the beautiful La Bruguera de Púbol.
La Bruguera is a magical, ecological and sustainable home, once belonging to artist & friend of Salvador Dalí, Captain John Peter Moore, and now cared for by ecologist Mike Duff and his artist wife Michelle.
Set in tranquil woodland gardens, it's a little slice of heaven in the Catalonian countryside, just a short walk from the picturesque medieval village of Púbol and its famous Castillo Gala Dalí museum -
which is well worth a visit. The estate boasts a lovely private swimming pool and a beautiful Pilates/yoga studio overlooking a tranquil cloistered pond, with plenty of peaceful spaces to explore and unwind in nature.
We are both highly qualified and experienced practitioners, with many years experience and a wealth of knowledge between us. Those who know us will know how passionate and dedicated we are to supporting others on their wellness journey. Our retreats were born from a desire to offer a little self-care and space out of time from the hustle and bustle of daily life. 💚

✨When you come for reflexology, I notice far more than your feet.

I notice how you arrive - hurried or calm - whether you need to talk or want silence, and how long you take to settle. I feel the moment your breathing eases, your shoulders drop, or you finally release the tension you’ve been carrying.

Sometimes you walk in carrying more than your coat. Your pace and the way you settle tells me about your day. Some relax straight away; others need time to stop thinking about the next task.

There’s no right way to begin.

As the session continues your breathing may slow and deepen, and tension you didn’t realise you had - clenched jaw, raised shoulders, tight hands - can gradually soften.

Some clients need to chat; others need silence. I follow your lead.

An extra blanket, a different cushion, less pressure, more support - I notice the small things that help you feel safe and cared for.

A deep sigh, a gentle stretch, or drifting in and out of sleep are all normal. I’m not worried about chipped polish or unshaved legs, just come as you are.

I pay attention to your comfort, your boundaries, and what you need in this moment. If you sleep or snore, it’s fine - you’re still receiving the benefits, and I will always share what your feet have told me at the end of the treatment.

✨What a glorious Saturday! Just a little message to say please mind your head as you come through the garden. My beautiful Buddleia is heavy with blooms🪻, butterflies 🦋 & bees 🐝 - it’s quite a lovely distraction however, its arching a little lower with it weight so if you’re taller than me just be mindful & do a little duck! 🦆
Wishing you all an amazing weekend - Amanda 💖

“This research is building scientific evidence that reflexology creates specific, measurable responses in the brain - and may play a meaningful role in stroke rehabilitation.”

Well, I never knew this! Lady’s Mantle, Alchimilla is where the word Alchemy comes from! 💫 I have an abundance of this in my garden, it’s always covered in ‘dew’ drops & water…I’m going to start using it! “The young, fresh leaves can be eaten raw in spring salads or blended into pestos.” You can dry it to make teas & tinctures too.
Oh! And good morning all, wishing you all a magical Monday ✨💖

Early on a damp British morning, Lady's Mantle holds a small pool of water in the cup of each pleated leaf.

Not rainwater. Not exactly dew.

The droplets form from within the plant itself, drawn from the air through tiny pores at the leaf margin. Each leaf a perfect cup. Each cup holding water the plant gathered and offered back.

For centuries, herbalists and alchemists had a name for it: sacred water.

The genus name is Alchemilla.

The Arabian root of that name is the source of the English word alchemy itself.

This is not a minor coincidence. Early alchemists staked cloth in fields overnight to collect dew. Lady's Mantle (Alchemilla vulgaris), with her cupped leaves gathering water from air, was seen as nature performing the same act spontaneously.

The alchemist's vessel. A plant made of the Water Element.
She appears in medieval herbals, in John Gerard's writings, in the notebooks of folk midwives throughout Britain. Centuries of documented use.

She grows in almost every British cottage garden.
Almost nobody uses her.

Here's what they're missing:

Lady's Mantle has one overriding gift: restoring structural integrity to tissues that have yielded too far.

Not stimulation. Not sedation. Not warmth. Not force.

The old herbalists called her "of a very drying and binding character." That phrase remains the most accurate summary.

She works on the tissue state vitalist herbalism calls damp/relaxation. The pattern that arises when something has become too open, too fluid, too permeable.

Heavy menstrual flow. Urinary leaking. Varicose veins. Leaky gut.
Different conditions. Same underlying pattern: tissue that has simply yielded too far.

Herbalist William LeSassier identified her constitutional picture precisely: the person with pale complexion and highly visible veins. Not aesthetic observation - clinical reading. Prominent veining points toward deficit of structural tone in the venous system.

Lady's Mantle's tannins tighten the venous wall. Her salicylates thin stagnant blood. Structural cause and fluid consequence addressed together.

We return to that morning cup of water held in the pleated leaf.
She gathers what is dispersed. Holds what would otherwise run.

Her medicine does the same.
Not by force. By restoration.
