“I felt accepted as I am. The kindness of John and Nina was outstanding — they genuinely cared about my wellbeing. It was a truly special retreat.”
— Jacqui (BookRetreats, Nov 2025)
Welcome to Wheston Health Retreat
We don't offer a spa retreat or a clinic experience, instead we extend our family home to those who are feeling overwhelmed, emotionally tired, or simply sensing that you need space to rest & reset.
We invite you to join us in the peaceful Peak District countryside.
As a father, daughter team we offer small, calm, emotional healing retreats with a maximum of four guests, for those who are seeking a more personal healing space we offer our One to One, bespoke retreats which can be tailored to your needs.
Our work naturally complements each other, bringing together science-informed healing techniques & practices with gentle intuitive emotional guidance.
Guests are guided to slow down, breathe again and begin easing the emotional weight they may have been carrying.
​
Our intention is to give you tools to take away & integrate into daily life to sustain improved metal & physical wellbeing.
​
​
More Than a Retreat
Wheston is a place for emotional wellbeing, personal growth and continued inner practice.
​
Our residential retreats are at the heart of what we do, but the support does not have to end when you leave.
​
Through our retreats, courses, guided meditation library and Living Practice Circle, we offer different ways to understand yourself, develop practical skills and continue bringing greater calm, awareness and balance into everyday life.
​
You can begin wherever feels right for you — by coming to a retreat, exploring a course, practicing with one of our meditations or joining us online.
​
That should replace most of the existing introductory paragraphs about being a father-and-daughter team. We can bring the personal story back farther down.

​
The Living Practice Circle
Join us online every other Sunday for teaching, guided practice, reflection and questions. Meetings are also recorded so members can revisit previous sessions.
​
​
​
​
One Approach — Different Pathways
We don't believe emotional wellbeing can always be approached through one technique alone. Thoughts, emotions, the nervous system, the body and our sense of inner energy continually influence one another.
​
Our approach therefore brings together understanding, regulation, awareness and practice, allowing us to work with the whole person rather than concentrating on just one part.
​
Mind — thoughts, beliefs and learned patterns
Body & Nervous System — regulation, grounding and breath
Emotion — awareness, resilience and responding differently
Energy & Awareness — meditation, focused awareness and gentle energetic practices
