Wellness Retreat Near London.
Champney’s Tring
Often the very idea of taking too much time off work or travelling for hours to a destination are major factors in deciding whether or not you can take the leap onto a well-deserved wellness retreat. We have given this a lot of thought and for over fifteen years now have used the magnificent facilities of Champney’s in Tring. It is the perfect location for our wellness retreat near London. A mere 45 minutes north of London in the beautiful and tranquil Hertfordshire village of Wiggington, it is a real oasis of calm and beauty.
Having a wellness retreat near London is perfect for us to help those of you with no time on your hands, too busy at work, kids in tow or only a few holiday days left to take.
We have worked with senior executives from companies such as Salesforce, Adidas, Novartis and Clifford Chance. Encouraging all of them to put down their phones, close their laptops and allow our unique and effective process to completely rejuvenate them.
Superior room
We attempt to de-stress, nourish, motivate and educate you on retreat. Not in a pushy over formal way but in a subtle attentive way. You are all different and all coming from a start point. This is why we only take small groups of people, never more than six to allow Stephen Johansson and his team to build confidence, trust and an understanding of who you are.
