Bridging the gap: Accessible Wellbeing in Scotland
This initiative is dedicated to immersing individuals in the breathtaking landscapes of Scotland, with a strong focus on safety, community, and inclusivity.
My mission is to redefine the wellness industry by bridging the gap between luxury and accessibility, ensuring that positive mental health is a right, not a privilege.
While most wellbeing retreats come with steep price tags, making them exclusive and out of reach for many, I am committed to changing that.
Through secured grant funding, profit re-investment, donations and sponsors, this project offers an inclusive experience that eliminates financial barriers by providing both subsidised spots for those in need and fully paid places for those who can afford it.
This model ensures that everyone, regardless of financial status, can benefit from a transformative retreat experience.
A lasting positive impact
These transformative retreats focus on mental wellbeing and community support and are created to be accessible to all, with subsidised places available by application, to ensure financial barriers don’t stand in the way.
Mental health and wellbeing are deeply personal to us, and through these retreats and a skilled and compassionate team, we aim to create a lasting positive impact for our guests.
If you would like to find out how you can get involved or would like to apply for a subsidised place, please get in touch for more details.
How you could help this Social Enterprise
We also offer exclusive corporate retreat packages tailored to be inclusive for your own company and staff’s wellbeing. These packages provide a wonderful opportunity for team building while prioritising mental and physical wellbeing, resilience, and work-life balance.
Corporate retreats can be hosted on single or multi days, and can take place at any of our listed locations. Please note - single day retreats are held at Glenlivet Estate, or Greenbrae Steading, Hopeman.
100% of the profits from these events is reinvested into the Social Enterprise fund to facilitate subsidised places on the Wilderness Wellbeing Retreats.

87% of past attendees relied on a subsided place to be able to attend the retreat.
"I had a subsidised place which without the financial assistance I would not have been able to attend the retreat. I can not express my gratitude enough for this as it was so beneficial for me to be able to speak so freely about things that I have kept locked up for so long, and spend time in such an amazing place with such incredible people."
What our past guests had to say
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)Meeting so many strong women was a definite highlight for me
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…)
Meeting so many strong women was a definite highlight for meMental 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…)
CammyFor me the most stressful part was the unknown of camping. I had my case setup as if it was 2 weeks abroad. The drive up was relaxed and hearing some of the stories from the previous year helped. Arriving there, the views were out of this world. Such beauty in our own back yard. The weekend itself was incredible. So many personalities just getting along. So many different stories but one thing in common, well being. (more…)
Cameron (Andy’s Man Club)Just thank you – was honestly such a magical way to begin the year and I hope to always be reminded of my time up in Glenlivet for years to come hope to book into Torridon !!!

Learned more about fermentation again based around the weekend
A weekend filled with warmthAn 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…)
Andy’s Man ClubI 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)Yaz is an amazing woman, who has so much passion in helping and sharing with others.
Her skill in bringing people together is unmatched and you can see she genuinely cares so much for every single person in the room.
An inspiration and a privilege to be on her retreat this winter thanks again for you time & passion.

The ultimate yin and yang
The ultimate yin and yang- pushed, cold, wet and happy, rewarded with blissful warmth, companionship, beautiful food and relaxation.

The ultimate yin and yangI took a lot of new practices not only from the workshops but the chats with fellow group members.
3 out of the 4 workshops I took part in I had never done before so learned from these and have already implemented them into my daily lifestyle and family life.
