3-Day Anxiety Relief & Hypno-Reiki Wellness Retreat in the Malvern Hills, UK

The retreat runs over three days and is capped at six guests. Day one is arrival and settling in, with the first group Hypno-Reiki session in the afternoon or early evening — a blend of guided hypnosis (a spoken induction, deep relaxation, suggestion work) and Reiki, where Chrissy places hands on or just above the body to work with energy. The two are done together rather than as separate appointments, which is the format Chrissy has built her practice around.

Day two is the fullest day. There's a private one-to-one Emotional Detox session, usually an hour or so, where you sit with Chrissy and go through what actually sets your anxiety off — specific situations, specific thought patterns, the recurring 3am worries — and start unpicking them. The second group Hypno-Reiki session typically lands on day two or the final morning, depending on how the group is doing, and it's more about integration: taking what's shifted and making it stick. The rest of the day is yours. Most guests walk up onto the Malvern Hills, which start a short drive from the farmhouse, or drive into Great Malvern or Ledbury for lunch and a browse.

Day three is slower again. Depending on scheduling there may be a short closing session, then breakfast, then departure. Before you go, Chrissy creates your personalised hypnosis recording — a track written around your own triggers and the language that landed for you during your sessions, usually sent as an audio file you can put on your phone. Guests use it at night or during anxious moments in the weeks after.

The farmhouse itself is quiet, rural, and not a hotel. Rooms are private, and breakfast is left for you to have in your room on your own schedule. There's no shared kitchen for guests, no restaurant on site, and no organised evening programme. If you want company, the group is small enough that you'll find it; if you want to be left alone between sessions, that's genuinely possible here. That combination — real therapeutic work plus unstructured time plus no forced sociability — is what separates this from a bigger wellness weekend.

Chrissy Emmerton is UK-based and runs a second retreat alongside this one. She works in hypnotherapy and Reiki, and the sessions here are delivered by her personally rather than by a rotating team. Transport isn't included: most guests drive, and the farmhouse is reachable from Great Malvern or Worcester stations if you'd rather come by train, then taxi the last stretch. There are cafes within a short drive for lunch and dinner — Great Malvern, Ledbury and the villages around the hills all have options, and Chrissy will point you at her favourites on arrival.
