those living with skin conditions
A Wilderness Wellbeing experience for those living with skin conditions
About this Retreat
The Skin Retreat is a first-of-its-kind wellbeing weekend designed specifically for individuals living with chronic skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, and topical steroid withdrawal (TSW).
Led by a collective of practitioners who have lived experience of skin-related challenges, the retreat offers a nurturing environment where participants can explore the emotional, physical, and psychological layers of healing.
Built on personal experience
Yaz created Wilderness Wellbeing after overcoming 15 years of chronic cystic acne through a holistic healing approach, Nutrition, nervous system regulation, emotional release, self-compassion, and creating space for rest.
Recognising that many people struggling with skin conditions experience emotional distress, isolation, and low self-worth, yet often cannot afford private retreats, The Skin Retreat offers a community based alternative for healing and connection.

The first time I spoke with Yas I knew that not only was she creating something special at her retreat but the benefit that it would give some of our lads from ANDY’S MAN CLUB. I attended the first one with my colleague and both of us were very nervous about what to expect. Within minutes of entering the family home we were made to feel a part of the family straight away and that led to an amazing weekend of self discovery. (more…)
Alex (Andy’s Man Club)Mental health has always been a mystery to me. I knew people who struggled with it, but I never truly understood—until one night, I couldn’t sleep. That one night turned into weeks of lying in bed, staring at the ceiling. I went to the doctor. They gave me tablets. When those didn’t work, they gave me different tablets. Then different doses. Still, nothing helped. It wasn’t until I stepped outside the traditional health system that I began to heal. Attending Andy’s Man Club set me on a path of self-healing and wellbeing. (more…)
CammyI never said anything over the weekend as I wasn’t ready to share, but the main reason my anxiety was so bad was because just before the retreat I was at the funeral of a young person I worked with and looked after. She was my key child and it hit me so hard. I didn’t think I would be in any state to participate in the retreat. I’m so glad I decided to push myself. (more…)
Darren (Andy’s Man Club)An absolutely amazing weekend full of fun, laughter and tears.
Made to feel very welcome by the family and staff, they couldn’t treat us any better. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the experience was amazing- So many different events that was accessible for everyone. (more…)

Time stood still for me this weekend. I was a bit apprehensive coming to a retreat on my own but I did not need to worry as Yaz and her team gave us such a warm welcome. (more…)
