What are Equilibrio Retreats?
Our name ‘Equilibrio’ means balance. As a therapist this means taking time to optimise your own well-being alongside that of your clients. Equilibrio retreats provide you with a chance to do just that: an opportunity to treat yourself; where you can expand your knowledge in a relaxed, informal setting, learning from & sharing experiences with Special Guest teachers and fellow therapists. We offer a balance of CPD, inspirational learning and relaxed rejuvenation… so that when you go home you feel ready to give again.

Our Next Retreat
7th-14th June 2026
Last Few Spaces!
As reflexologists, we often work with clients who are experiencing general poor health, falling prey to anything that is ‘going round’ or taking a long time to recover from illness. How can we improve our effectiveness in responding to these clients boosting their immune systems to help them reach their optimum wellbeing?
This week we will be joined by Special Guest Reflexologist Hagar Basis who will be sharing techniques, including her own unique bi-manual integrated approach to reflexology, to improve the body’s vital immune function, help reduce inflammation and enhance core health. Workshop leaders Jane Bartholomew and Rebecca Heazel will look at how both diet and stress can impact the immune system and offer some tools and tips to improve immune system response..
"I would highly recommend, both from a personal relaxation point of view and the sheer amount of knowledge and confidence you come away with. It is quite simply a life changing retreat like no other and worth every penny."
Reflexology Retreats
Through our own life experience, we have increasingly come to realise that hard working therapists need time and space to recharge. In this way, we can enrich our own lives and provide the best possible care and support to others, without burning out! We also know how hard it can be to give ourselves permission to do this, so at Equilibrio Reflexology Retreats, we combine this ‘me time’ with opportunities to learn from world renowned reflexology teachers and other expert workshop leaders.
At each retreat a Special Guest reflexologist, a teacher chosen for their passion and experience, will offer two half day workshops in one of their specialist subjects. Equilibrio workshop leaders and therapists complement this theme, to create a full and rounded holistic learning experience.
Our programme also allows time to learn from and share our knowledge with each other, through informal discussions and treatment swaps,
Your full participation in an Equilibrio Reflexology retreat awards you 20 points of CPD through taught and self directed learning.
Our Team
Equilibrio is delivered by a multi-disciplinary team using all our skills and knowledge to create the magic of Equilibrio.
Sisters Anna and Jane Bartholomew, founder members and developers of Equilibrio, will be your hosts and facilitators during your retreat. Their role is to make sure your whole experience is as rewarding as it can possibly be. They are also available to make treatment swaps and share skills with all the Equilibrio guests.

Relatively Therapeutic offers a week to relax and explore ways to regulate the nervous system along with tools and tips to take home with you. CPD for caring professionals is also available during this week.
We are also developing retreats for talking therapists, counsellors and coaches, the first being a psychosexual CPD retreat in collaboration with Lisa Lane Therapies.
