Healing
Everyone has times in their lives when they find themselves feeling hurt, angry, disempowered alone or isolated
The Land
The Orchard at Wood End is the meeting place of the different strands of my work and a shared long term vision of living a more simple way of life
Weddings
I trained as a celebrant with the FPC over 6 years ago, and what I see now, is that my experience as a therapist means I am able to support the couples experience and emotions as they journey towards and through this massive threshold.
Our Approach
Six years ago this was exhausted land. And like many of the people who arrive here, it needed listening, patience, and care. Healing here is not done in rooms alone. It happens beside trees, through paws, in silence, and in seasons.
From The Orchard
Whether you come to be held, to celebrate, or to help something grow, you’re welcome here.
