I’m Vicky and I love The Yurt!

My passion for holistic therapies, yoga and women’s wellness led me to leave my career as a primary school teacher to open The Yurt in 2021.

I believe in a fully holistic approach to prioritise your  wellness, focusing on the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit. We will work together to help you with any feelings of stress, pain or overwhelm to make you feel safe and nurtured. You will hopefully leave the yurt feeling lovely and relaxed with sense of lightness having been supported with kindness and care. ​​I will support you every step of the way on your journey to feeling your best.

I strive to provide the best possible experience for you at The Yurt through combining my skills as a massage therapist, reiki and sound practitioner, clinical reflexologist and yoga teacher to work with you to design the perfect treatment combination to meet your needs.

At the yurt I aim to create a unique experience in a tranquil setting where you can relax by the fire surrounded by the sounds of the birds. Hot stones and warm bamboo  are always prepared to enhance your  relaxation​ and luxury bespoke oils are personally chosen. Sound therapy and Reiki can be included in your time in The Yurt.
