THE BOTHY IS A PLACE TO STEP OUTSIDE OF TIME – TO SIMPLY BE AND RECEIVE GENUINE CARE AND NOURISHMENT ON A HUMAN LEVEL. WE EMBRACE A NATUROPATHIC AND ENERGETIC APPROACH ROOTED IN NATURE AND GUIDED BY INSTINCT, WISDOM AND EXPERTISE TO INSPIRE CHANGE IN THE MIND THAT FLOWS THROUGH THE BODY.

 

  • Resolutely Natural

    THE BOTHY IS ROOTED IN SLOW TIME AND THE LEGACY OF HECKFIELD’S FORMER HEAD GARDENER, WILLIAM WALKER WILDSMITH – THE CURATOR OF THE BEAUTIFUL CHOREOGRAPHY OF ANCIENT TREES ACROSS OUR ESTATE THE NAMESAKE OF WILDSMITH SKIN. THIS REVERENCE FOR THE NATURAL WORLD IMBUED A SIMPLE YET PROFOUND IDEA THAT IS THE FOUNDATION OF OUR WELLBEING PHILOSOPHY: A LIFE LIVED IN LINE WITH NATURE IS A LIFE LIVED WELL.

  • SLOW TIME

    DISTRACTIONS FALL AWAY AS YOU DISCONNECT FROM DEVICES AND STEP INTO THE THERAPEUTIC SPACES OF THE BOTHY. THIS INTENTIONAL GIFT OF PHYSICAL DISTANCE FROM PHONES HELPS TO RECALIBRATE YOUR PERSPECTIVE OF TIME, EXPERIENCE DEEP, AND HELP RESET THE PARASYMPATHETIC
    NERVOUS SYSTEM.

  • INTENTIONALLY HOLISTIC

    TRUE WELLBEING ENCOMPASSES THE WHOLE PERSON – MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT. OUR APPROACH IS INTENTIONALLY HOLISTIC, DRAWING ON A RANGE OF MODALITIES INCLUDING HANDS-ON BODY WORK, NATUROPATHY AND BIOENERGETICS, PSYCHOLOGY AND MORE TO ADDRESS NOT ONLY YOUR PHYSICAL NEEDS, BUT ALSO YOUR EMOTIONAL AND MENTAL WELLBEING.

    THIS NURTURING OF ALL ASPECTS OF YOURSELF CAN HELP SHAPE YOUR FULL POTENTIAL AND LIVE A MORE VIBRANT AND FULFILLING LIFE.
