1. What makes The Manse Retreat different from other trauma retreats in the UK?

The Manse Retreat is a private, neuroscience-based trauma and grief recovery retreat in the heart of Northamptonshire. Unlike group retreats, all our work is done one-to-one using The Manse Method®, a non-talking approach to trauma and PTSD that creates lasting emotional transformation. Every stay is tailored to you and your journey.

​

2. Do I have to share the retreat with others?

No. We don’t do group sessions. Your retreat is entirely private. We work with one client at a time to ensure you receive our full, undivided attention. If you wish, you can bring a friend or family member, we have two ensuite rooms available.

​

3. How does The Manse Method® work?

The Manse Method® is a gentle, non-talking trauma release technique based on neuroscience. It combines touch, breath, and eye movement to activate the brain’s natural ability to decode traumatic memories, without reliving them. You’ll feel the change, not just understand it.

​

4. What’s included in a 3-day retreat?

You’ll enjoy luxury ensuite accommodation, daily one-to-one sessions, all meals (prepared onsite using fresh local ingredients), plus access to complementary therapies like reiki, massage, and sound meditation. Our goal is to care for every part of you, mind, body, and nervous system.

​

5. Can I book directly online?

No. As The Manse Retreat is also our home, we want to ensure it’s the right fit for you, and that you feel safe and supported. You’ll be invited to a free discovery video call where we can answer your questions and build trust together before confirming your stay.

​

6. Do you offer support after the retreat?

Yes. We provide a nurturing aftercare package including video resources, ebooks, and regular email updates. We keep you connected with new research, workshops, and the evolving world of trauma transformation using The Manse Method®.

​

7. Where are you located, and do you offer collection?

We’re based in rural Northamptonshire, UK. You can arrive by car or we offer complimentary pickup from Corby or Kettering train station. International guests, we’ll help with your travel plans and arrival.
