One-to-One Wellness Escape in Formby, Liverpool, UK

The retreat runs over 3 days and 2 nights at Old Lan Farmhouse, a quiet property in Formby, Merseyside. The area is known for its beach, nature reserves, and wildlife – a short walk from the house. Emma, your host, is a multidisciplinary therapist with over 25 years in health and wellness, trained in yoga, nutrition, and various complementary therapies. She works with you before you arrive to design the schedule, and you can adjust it throughout your stay.

Each day typically includes optional yoga and meditation, a personalised gym or circuit session, and a treatment from the included 3 x 60-minute sessions (reflexology, massage, facial, or Reiki). You can also add workshops like Bach flower remedies, aromatherapy, colour therapy, chakra balancing, or a 90-minute nutrition consultation. There's always free time built in for reflection, walks, or just relaxing in the hot tub or sauna.

What makes this retreat different is the complete personalisation. There's no set itinerary – you write the pages of your own retreat. Emma's background as a former singer and dancer, plus her training in yoga and naturopathic nutrition, gives her a broad toolkit. Guests like Susan, who came for a sabbatical, left feeling refreshed and inspired, and others have used the retreat to work through workplace stress and anxiety. The hosts, Emma and Mark, are frequently praised for their warmth and Mark's cooking.

The location adds to the experience. Formby is a coastal village with pinewoods, sand dunes, and a beach that stretches for miles. You can walk to the beach for yoga or meditation, explore the nature reserves, or head into Liverpool for a day trip. The farmhouse itself has a garden, hot tub, and infra-red sauna, and the room is described as luxurious with a king bed and en-suite.
