Our guests - in their words

Guests leave The Monastery after their wellness journey feeling moved, invigorated, and refreshed. Many of our guests have told us their 'magical' experience at The Monastery has changed their lives.

"In the word of Rachael Hunter I recall my Monastery experience - "it won't happen overnight, but it will happen." If you just take a moment to observe yourself you will clearly see a very worthy cause for future investment." Read more of this Monastery experience.

"Its focus on support and nurturing of women is another way The Monastery is unique. As a woman it was very safe and comforting to spend time with highly skilled and trained staff that make every effort to anticipate and assist with my needs."

"Out of the wealth of knowledge and caring offered by the staff, and out of the incredibly pleasurable treats and physical treatments, there is much to take away with me. The memories of heavenly food presented in elegant style, the walks in the extensive gardens, the friendly loving support and encouragement, these will be with me for a very long time."

"The Monastery excels at personal individual attention, and truly one feels like a princess. The support is available at the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. The Monastery is a life-renewing experience recommended to all."

"The bedrooms are so peaceful. I love the view of the trees from the windows. I especially love the pattern the light shade makes on the wall at night."

"The food was absolutely outstanding - so nourishing and healthy. I really enjoyed the relaxed meals around the table, sharing conversation and laughter with other people."

"To embrace the wholesomeness of this sanctuary. To be treated with self worth, esteem, kindness. Love divine. To bathe in one's own beauty, reflect within and out, to ponder, to journey to brighter enlightened places. To nurture ourselves within. To find a kindred heart-feltness with other women, especially the wellness professionals here. To learn of their own journeys, trials and tribulations, their difficulties and efforts.
Women divine. I leave the Monastery with more inner knowledge of working with self, embracing the moments, the tranquil places in my heart where I can feel rest assured."

"I felt I had time to breathe and to look at the garden view, and at the gorgeous room, at the fine print details, rather than rushing around being constantly interrupted and in demand."

"Experiencing the sense of sound from silence to...not so silent...a gentleness inside the house and then nature rejoicing loudly outside."

"The support, wisdom, delights of the other women (guests), to have a sense again of how powerful it is to journey with other women - even though they may have had such different backgrounds, beliefs etc."
