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.
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 can help our 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 warmth of Yaz and her whole team , The welcome and inclusion that made everyone feel so at ease.
The tranquility of the setting. The abundance of skills and knowledge that were shared at the workshops by such “couthy” people with bags of integrity!
A sense of peace and wellness.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.
The food and hospitality was one of the best I have ever had. Always made to feel welcome always there to support. The weekend was made special by the group of people that were there. I took part in events I had never done before stepping out my comfort zone but made to feel very comfortable in these events as well. The knowledge of the staff was amazing and took time to explain everything.
Will definitely re visit to this special place.

Learned more about fermentation again based around the weekend
A weekend filled with warmthJust firstly want to say that thank you doesn’t even cover it for having me part of the incredible weekend! You and your family are a powerhouse and so inspirational.
To try and articulate how the weekend impacted me is hard, but I’ll try! As you know, due to my TSW I’ve had a mad year and coming home from Thailand has been a challenge and a half, navigating my old life with its new rules dictated by my skin had got me in a dark place mentally and honestly I didn’t realise how much I’d isolated myself until coming to your home for the weekend! It was confronting in the best way possible to be out of my ‘safe space’ that I’d created for my skin to be ok, and suddenly out of control of the people I saw, the food I ate and the environment I was in.
The first evening I was almost crippled with social anxiety that I haven’t felt since I was a teenager, it was then that I realised how I was living was not healthy. Relaxing into the weekend the next morning with smaller groups and connecting with Alice and others in the Juicing workshop made me feel like myself again and was such a relief, I’d be longing for that sense of community that just ‘get it’ since leaving thailand and the clinic full of patients with the same condition as me.
My state of mind on Friday compared to leaving your home on Monday was completely night & day. Hearing such vulnerable stories being shared with people that were not long ago strangers was so powerful and really gave me the kick up the arse to stop letting my condition make my life limited and my vision for the future small. I can’t tell you how grateful I am, what you’ve created can only be described as pure magic and I can’t wait to be back and hopefully be able to share my story one day!

The ultimate yin and yangMeeting 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.
The calming atmosphere was inspiring meeting so many strong women and learning from their disciplines (yoga, fermentation, strength training, pilates) and was definite highlight for me.
