Reviews from previous Wellness Day
"It was a lovely day and I really enjoyed it. Felt nicely stretched out and chilled the rest of the day.
Thank you for the lovely treats, it was good to spend time in the sunshine with friends and meet new people. 😍

"Thank you to you and Wendy for hosting yesterday’s wellness day. It was nice to take time out to relax and enjoy the day and the weather was perfect. The Pilates and meditation was very relaxing (I nearly dropped off to sleep during the meditation as I was so chilled). It was also nice to have tea and cake outside as although I see my fellow classmates each week, it’s nice to take time to chat for longer. Deborah"
"Wendy’s recent wellness Pilates Saturday was a lovely, relaxing and enjoyable session.It was all very calm and tranquil. It started with an uplifting local walk, moving on to a gentle Pilates session but interspersed with refreshments and relaxation. The organisation of everything was excellent ; even including homemade cake … really good !
