How Acorn Wellness can help your mind, body and soul
Sponsored
A sense of serenity and calmness overcomes you when you step into Acorn Wellness. It’s a feeling that can’t quite be explained, only experienced.
It’s a world where you can leave any stresses and strains at the door and really take time out for yourself. A place to escape to. To switch off from the world.
As soon as you walk in, you inhale the soothing scents from the aromatherapy essential oil candles and are met with a sense of stillness and groundedness where you can almost feel the weight being lifted from your shoulders.
It’s a place to be cared for, nourished, and restored, allowing you to look after your mind, body, and soul. A sanctuary, if you will.
It’s about promoting a lifestyle that’s good for the inner being. Indeed, its ethos is to ‘come as you are, explore what you can be, and find your unique path of self-discovery’.
Founded by Katie Kavanagh in 2017, the catalyst for creating The Acorn was her husband’s cancer diagnosis at age 29, while she was 14 weeks pregnant.
This was, of course, a very challenging time for her, so she set about creating a place that she would have benefited from herself, as well as for others affected by cancer.
And so Acorn Wellness was born, and with it, its Recovery Retreats, all backed by Acorn’s not-for-profit ethos.
Another key reason why Katie wanted to start Acorn Wellness was that she had discovered the benefits of yoga, mindfulness, and nature, all of which were hugely beneficial to her overall wellbeing. And she wanted to share her own experience with others to inspire and help them forge their own paths.
Offering yoga, nutrition, treatments, retreats, and wellness for business, to name just a few of the pillars that Acorn Wellness prides itself on – more on all of these below – Katie has an experienced team of specialists and therapists who share their knowledge with everyone who visits.
This is all to the backdrop of the setting in which Acorn Wellness is located. Positioned in the beautiful Nidderdale countryside, close to Brimham Rocks, the setting itself is sure to inspire, and provides peace and tranquillity as it is surrounded by lush greenery, towering trees, and all you can hear is the relaxing sound of birdsong.
Emma who recently visited Acorn Wellness said:
I couldn’t quite believe how quickly and easily I managed to destress at Acorn. I had a full schedule both at home and work, yet when I walked through Acorn’s doors, I managed to totally relax.
I came out feeling like a new person – it made me realise how important it is to truly switch off sometimes.
Offering various retreats, from half days to overnight stays, there’s sure to be something for everyone whatever their needs are. These include the Just Be Time half day retreat, the full-day Yoga and Sound Retreat, the Sacred Pause Retreat Day and the Whole Health Retreat Day that covers holistic ways to optimise your overall health.
It also offers seasonal day retreats, named Seasonal Elemental Retreat, as well as specialised retreats including the Holistic Cancer Retreat Day and The Pause Space – Find Your Flow Menopause Retreat.
Meanwhile you can stay in one of four of Acorn Wellness’s luxurious sleep spaces on its overnight retreats, all of which include yoga, gong therapy, relaxation, plant-based meals, walks and optional treatments.
New to the site is the shepherd’s hut that is fully equipped with bathroom facilities, kitchenette and cosy bedroom.
For those who can only spare an hour or so, it’s incredible what you can do in this hour for your overall health and wellbeing. Take its qigong sessions on Mondays, which makes for a positive way to start the week.
Another key offering at Acorn Wellness is its treatments. Whether it’s holistic such as crystal healing or reiki, massage, reflexology or a bespoke treatment, the therapists at Acorn Wellness will tailor it to your needs, ensuring you get what you need out of it and come away feeling renewed, restored and relaxed.
Its Wellness for Business is also worth noting as Acorn Wellness organises away days to give colleagues time to connect with each other and learn new tools.
In summary, if you’ve not yet visited Acorn Wellness, why not take a look at what it offers? There’s something for everyone wherever you are on your wellness journey.
