The Gathering Fields

Helen, who runs the Gathering Fields has been a holistic therapist for over 20 years and is trained in Ayurveda, Yoga and flower essence therapy and encapsulates nature in all aspects of her practise. The Gathering Fields is a place for peace, wildness, space, and learning, taking the countryside back to the roots. Alongside the centre there is a working farm of 250-acres, however Helen tends not to focus her visits on the animal side of farming but does use the wildflower meadows for her sessions. The centre takes a holistic approach to farming and land management, where health and well being are at the very centre of the focus.
