Yorkshire Wellness Escapes
Surrounded by nature in the heart of North Yorkshire and just a 2 hour train ride out of London, we are taking you on a great escape to the countryside, with healthy wholesome food, luxury ensuite bedrooms and bathroom and log fires. Join us at Maidensworth Farm.
These 2 days are your very own to ‘reset’ to your natural rhythm, to take stock, and give yourself some thinking time for the year ahead. We have a day of activities and relaxation planned for you, however you are also most welcome to stay in bed all day, or get away and explore the surrounding forests whenever you feel like it.
We also have an incredible massage therapist joining us named Mark Maxwell. I have personally been having treatments with Mark for over 6 years and can Highly recommend him.
Shiatsu is an Asian form of physiotherapeutic massage, much like a deep-tissue treatment, that balances the subtle energies of the meridians and helps restore physical, mental and emotional health. Mark works with a massage table and with oils. A more traditional treatment through clothing can be used, if the client prefers.
Mark qualified as a professional Shiatsu therapist in 1997. He has been teaching Meditation and Chi Kung since 1992. With his extensive experience he has developed extraordinary sensitivity to the subtle energies of the bodymind and can quickly identify areas of imbalance that need to be treated.A combination of finger pressure, stretches and effleurage are used, muscular tensions are relaxed, myofascial tightness is released and clients will experience deep relaxation and healing
