Pamela & Nicole - Heal Her Retreats

This February I had the pleasure of being asked to photograph 'the ‘Unleash Your Inner Fire Women’s Retreat’ ran by Heal Her Retreats.

Heal Her Retreats is the fantastic mother-daughter duo from Nottingham, Pamela & Nicole. They run empowering and life-changing retreats that help women rediscover calm and reconnect with their inner self. Their retreats use a powerful combination of yoga, meditation, stress management tools, optimal nutrition and other healing therapies.

The group spent the weekend unwinding and rejuvenating nestled deep in the stunning Peak district at Uppermoor Farm. Enjoying daily yoga classes, guided meditations, women's health sessions and mouth-watering locally-sourced organic vegetarian and vegan food.

I joined to photograph one of their health Q&A sessions and was blown away by the amount of knowledge I was able to pick up from these wonderful woman, it was invaluable. I was even lucky enough to experience Nicole’s Tibetan Singing Bowl Healing.

At the close of the weekend it was clear these women had worked through a lot in their short time together. There was an unmistakable feeling of love and gratitude towards the whole group and I felt so honoured to be there to even hear a snippet of what they’d been through - it really was emotional.

I think now more than ever we all need to learn to come together and learn from one another and when the world has returned to some sense of normality these retreats will be needed more than ever.
