A Japanese head spa tucked away in a Frome garden, made for slowing down.

The Retreat is a space in my garden to slow down, breathe deeply and enjoy a little time just for you. Warm water, gentle touch and moments of stillness.

Follow the path. Leave the rush behind. Stay a while.

Every corner of The Retreat has been created with intention. I wanted the journey to feel just as restorative as the treatment itself.

The garden

The Retreat will always be about calm, intention, relaxation and creating a place where you can truly switch off from the outside world. The studio sits at the end of the garden path, and after your treatment there is time for a herbal tea in the garden.

A new chapter, opened this summer

“The Retreat was created to be somewhere you can step away from everyday life for a little while... a place to escape, slow down, switch off and simply be.”

I finally opened the doors with a launch party in August, after so much time spent dreaming about and creating The Retreat. To everyone who has booked a treatment, recommended The Retreat or sent a kind word along the way: thank you. The Retreat Frome is only just getting started.

The Gift of Escape

On my birthday in September, I made a wish to gift one person every month a complimentary treatment at The Retreat. A little time to feel cared for.

Perhaps you know someone who has had a difficult few months, quietly cares for everyone around them, or rarely makes time for themselves. Send me a private message with their name and a little about why you would love them to receive this gift.

“I had the most incredible experience at Laura’s Head Spa. From the moment I arrived, everything felt peaceful, tranquil and so thoughtfully designed. Laura has such a calm, beautiful energy and is an exceptional therapist. Her attention to every little detail makes you feel genuinely cared for from start to finish. … After my treatment, I relaxed in Laura’s beautiful retreat garden with a herbal tea, and it honestly felt like stepping into another world. If you’re looking to completely switch off and recharge, I couldn’t recommend it more.”

“An incredible experience from start to finish. … The treatment itself was wonderfully sensory, almost like being transported into a rainforest, with beautiful scents, sounds and textures layered throughout. I left feeling completely relaxed and restored.”

“I saw The Retreat On Instagram and knew I had to book immediately, especially when I realised it was so close! Laura was absolutely lovely, we had such a nice chat and the treatment itself was out of this world! I will most definitely be coming back. I’ve already booked in to try a different treatment!”

“I had a lovely experience at the retreat with Laura. I was gifted a session for my birthday and it was such a lovely treat. The studio was cozy and calm and Laura was so friendly and welcoming, not to mention exceptional at what she does. I left feeling relaxed and oh so soft. Thank you so much Laura I hope to return!”
