About Us
This is a new business which started in January 2010. It has been a
vision of mine (Dianne) for several years to provide a resource for
those interested in alternative healing and a more connected, mindful
life. The focus is on releasing old limiting habits; learning to cope
better with the stress we experience and becoming, and being, more at
ease and happy in ones life.
As a healing practitioner myself and having the resources available, I aim to bring together a team of therapists and practitioners at the retreat centre thereby enriching their network and their client base, but more importantly, providing a range of treatments and experiences not generally found at other retreats.
I have spent over the last decade studying and training in the healing
arts. The healing therapy I practice is Trager, which integrates mind
and body, essentially reminding the body of peace. Alongside this, I
also follow a path of practical spiritual philosophy which includes
daily meditation and mindfulness practices, simply reflected with these
words:
A quiet mind is all you need. All else will
happen rightly, once your mind is quiet.
I have also studied academically, gaining a BA in Anthropology with the
particular focus of healing systems, such as Chinese Traditional
Medicine and Ayurveda.
I am supported at the Retreat by my husband, Mark, who is my business
mentor, retreat handyman and IT genius.
All therapists and healers whose services and care you could be
receiving are fully qualified in their particular field. I can
guarantee from my own personal experience over the years that their
work is of the highest standard.
If you do not feel completely satisfied, we welcome you back to find out what we can do better and offer you a complementary treatment.
Vartamana Retreat offers healing spaces, resources, practitioners
and accommodation in a peaceful and welcoming environment where a deep
level of care and acceptance is our promise to you.
