Self care starts at Heartwood

Solitude. Space. Simplicity.

Do you need to get away for an afternoon, recharge for a weekend or sink into yourself for a week?

Self care starts at Heartwood’s Guest House and Deep Rest Retreat.

Unplug from the world – no tv, no wifi, no telephone. Just you and all the time in the world to rediscover the simple pleasures of life.

Do you want to be alone or would you prefer to spend your time away with a congenial friend? How will you spend your time? Do you prefer guidance or compassionate support as you go it alone?

If you want to make sure your retreat moves beyond a vacation into a revitalizing, growing experience, finding the right rhythm, level, and type of activity for you is essential.

Heartwood offers a variety of guided and self-guided experiences. Therapeutic support is just a short walk away. Heartwood’s Guest House is in the midst of a vibrant, connected community, so if you need to encounter interesting people doing interesting things, that can be arranged too.

Treatments available at retreat and by appointment:

ACUPRESSURE
Renew yourself! Savour an in-depth exploration and treatment of your issues designed to bring balance to your body-mind-spirit through the gentle, yet penetrating art of acupressure.

ACUPRESSURE FACIAL
You won’t believe it until you try it! With a custom aromatherapy blend and window of the sky acupressure points, stress and tension melt away to reveal a more revitalized and rested you. Warning: you may find yourself looking – and feeling – ten years younger.

AROMATIC MASSAGE
Delight your senses. Nourish your body. Soothe your spirit. This therapeutic, light and rhythmic full body massage with a customized essential oil blend is all you need to float into deep, restorative relaxation.

PRIVATE YOGA SESSIONS
One to one yoga allows you to focus deeply on your own yoga practice. Whether you wish to learn new skills and practices, explore postures and breath work, address new or chronic conditions, or customize a daily practice, this session will revitalize your life on the mat.

SMALL GROUP YOGA (up to 4 participants in studio)
Join your friends in a yoga class designed just for you regardless of your varying levels of experience. Set an intention for your practice. Show up on your mats. Enjoy a guided trip through your bodies, minds and spirits.

BODY MAPPING
Start treating your body like your best friend. Get curious. Get courageous. Get to know your body by exploring those aches and pains you would rather ignore in the hope that they go away. With a little time and attention, you can reawaken your body-mind connection and start moving with easy grace through your world.

DIVINATION
Tarot cards and runes are powerful tools to help us access our inner guidance and wisdom. Explore your personal landscape, clarify your thoughts and feelings, and chart a path that will support the secret dreams of your heart to blossom.

SELF CARE
Using yoga, aromatherapy, acupressure and self-massage, learn to support yourself while managing any acute or chronic condition with customized self-care routines that are easy to incorporate into your daily life. This package includes a 30 minute consultation, a 60 minute guided self-care session, and written instructions to help you remember what to do.
