A couple of days, a long weekend, or a full week to unwind in the most breathtaking and beautiful part of West Cornwall.

Delphiris' Healing Touch Program will be tailored to your personal needs. Prior meeting we discuss and agree on a TOPIC or ISSUES you like to work with.

We meet - for a total of five sessions - daily for about one to one and a half hours for our 'Inner Healing Journey'. This includes a consultation by email/ telephone and at our first meeting.
Some sessions will be one-to-one, some might be in a group, depending what is available at the time. Please call for itinerary.

This retreat offer involves working with me on a daily basis. If you are looking for relaxation only than please enquire for the two day break or keep surfing the net to find a place where you can just chill out for a week without a program. Thank you.

Meditations, sound healing, breath work, guided imagery, personal counseling,
sea-shells and aura healing.

Staying in a rural, very quiet and peaceful area, near St. Just, Penzance, Cornwall, you become alive:

Feeling the elements,
breathing in the nourishing ions of the ocean,
meditating on the sun setting in the water,
watching the amazing starry night sky,
maybe dolphins passing by,
meeting the local seals ...

The sea is sounding around my house... calling me, calling me...
My heart opens up; my soul is yearning like never before.
It is a lousy sort of day, almost foggy, very grey sky, nippy and windy. But my heart is yearning, yearning, on and on....
Packed in my ski suit for warms I wander down the Cape, following a path I have not entered before.
There she is, the sea coming towards me. A colour display like not seen before.
The whole bay is white, lucent jade colour swirls around. Gently the waves coming into the bay, long stretched, leisurely moving inwards towards me.
Yet, in the distance very powerful white avalanche waves are crashing down. You can't make up the horizon, where does the sky end and the sea begin?

The fog engulfs the ocean. A view to the left a magical moment appears. Throughout the grey sky just above the chimney of the Cape a triangular cut has formed and the sun tries to find her way through the misty clouds. The scenery turns absolutely magical, misty, and eerie. What breath taking beauty. It does not have to be sunny and warm. The sea calls you any given moment.

Cape Cornwall is the only Cape in England.

You pass the Golf & Leisure Club (if available your B&B; with full use of their facilities: gym, sauna, Jacuzzi, pool....), surrounded by bronze age settlements and old time workings from the last century.

The next village - actually it is a town - is a few moments walk away: St. Just.
Once the centre of mining in the district it has retained much of its original character. Granite, slate-roofed houses cluster around the old market square whose friendly shops and pubs form the heart of this historic town. Frequent buses take you to Penzance and St. Ives etc.

It is a perfect centre point to explore the rest of the magnificent Peninsula. Cape Cornwall is the most breathtaking site with its many coves.

The power of the Ocean's waves coming towards you, passing the many rock formations is truly heart opening.
You can watch from afar or walk straight to the water's edge. Just spending time sitting on top of the Cape and feeling the magnificent surroundings helps you to reconnect what really is important in life.

Having only spent an afternoon here before I moved I felt all the doors opening for me, knowing I need to share with you this incredible place; encourage you to take a break out of your busy life in the city.
A truly powerful place to be initiated into Reiki, explore other treatments, release fear of water, retreat..... to become whole and alive.

This is a land of mystery and magic.
Warmed by the waters of the Gulf Stream the area supports a rich abundance of exotic flora and fauna which in conjunction with the deep blue of the ocean gives it a distinctly tropical dimension.
The whole of the area's coastline is part of the heritage Coast, totally unspoiled, ideal for walking, exploring, enjoying.
Surfing, cycling, riding, theatre is all available within a couple of miles of Cape Cornwall and can be arranged by the Golf & Country Club.

Sennen Cove is nearby one of the best surfing beaches in Britain with tuition available.
Other places worth visiting are St. Ives, St Michael's Mount near Penzance and the famous Mousehole.

Just five hours direct train from London (£14 each way, when booked in advance) leads us to this breath taking place.

I feel like I am living in another country.

Amanda: "We came as a couple and Delphiris sensitively balanced our needs both as individuals and as a couple. Her methods are non-judgemental and gently enabled me to see I was avoiding confronting certain issues about myself. The physical treatments, including Indian Head Massage and Reiki, were a wonderful compliment to the exercises we did and I've come back feeling like I've taken another valuable step on my journey."

Wolfie: "Tagging initially along for Cornwall's scenery and 'just a nice weekend away', I was convinced by Delphiris personal and flexible approach. I really enjoyed the talks, the exercises, the games and the treatments. Thanks for some fantastic days and the food for thought that came with it."
Amanda and Wolfie, Buckinghamshire

"I booked a five day retreat with Delphiris, at the time because I had a very stressful year and needed some time to recuperate. However, just before I was due to go, I had a sudden bereavement of someone important in my life whom I love very dearly. I was in quite a state when I arrived. Delphiris was very in tune, adaptable and helpful through all of this, she somehow just seemed to find the ideal things to do with me, to help me with what I was going through. She treated me with great kindness, integrity and generosity. What we did ranged from Reiki, Thai massage, guided meditations, sound /shell healing, breathing exercises, aqua-therapy in the pool and a special day of ceremony honouring my loved one. I also went on some lovely coastal walks. All of this helped thoroughly and profoundly, during a very critical time. Delphiris has a way of bringing heart and inspiration into everything - creating a very refreshing take on life - an absolute treasure. "
Luy, London

"It's definitely been my best investment this year! Delphiris has been a great help at a time when I felt lost. The environment is amazing, and the treatments were specific to my needs. I’ve also learnt techniques to carry on my healing journey. I felt Delphiris has been very helpful in directing and accompanying me in an important time in my life, and I am very glad I requested her help. I came back relaxed, focused and very optimistic. I strongly recommend it as i'll go back there as soon as I need it again!"
Mathilde, London, 2008

"I had a wonderful week at St Just in Cornwall seeing Delphiris every day for amazing treatments tailored to suit my needs.She is an amazing women with such a lovely calmness within her that truly inspired me to trust in nature and to look within for the answer, love Ruth x"
Ruth Hier, Cheltenham

In our initial phone conversationwith Sue we established the topics to work on: her husband suffering from depression, Sue still unable to conceive after a few miscarriages.

Nervous to start with as they have never been on a retreat before I put them at ease beginning with a light wholesome meal and a chat to break the ice. With the more in-depth information I received over dinner I was able to put together a program that would aid them to re-connect to their inner wisdom, give them practical goals to work with on their return home.

The evening sessions were 1-2-1, receiving healing, massage or work in the pool. Please read below the testimonial of Sue and Phil, who expressed how they felt after the retreat. We stayed in touch and several months later I received an email of their good news that Sue was seven months pregnant, followed later on by pictures of proud parents

"My husband and I decided to try this retreat after a stressful and somewhat emotionally draining 3 years. Both of us were 'running on empty' and were in great need of some time out. Neither of us having attended a retreat before we were a little nervous about what to expect but we need not have worried. Delphiris met us on our first night and immediately put our minds at rest. She discussed with us what we hoped to get out of our time on the retreat and then set about designing a program for us, working with us both together and and as individuals. We were introduced a variety of therapies and meditations which were truly healing and we have now returned home feeling refreshed, relaxed and rejuvenated. Our first taste of a retreat was only made better by Delphiris herself who is quiet and unassuming and is a great person to get to know. "
Sue and Phil, Surrey
