Your welcoming hosts are Robert and Kathy.  Former French restaurateur and food and wine connoisseur, Robert delights in catering for every appetite.  Kathy, The Mind Body and Soul Coach, offers a wide choice of one-to-one and group sessions for holistic wellbeng and health - mind body and soul.  

We believe that good health and good living go hand in hand.  At a ReikiCannes Mind Body And Soul Retreat, you can relax, rejuvenate and explore the beautiful French Riviera.  The ReikiCannes experience is a mixture of French home comforts - including our own hen and goose eggs - with a touch of luxury and a tailored programme of positively life-changing wellbeing and healing sessions to suit your evolving needs.

Give yourself a positive Life Coaching boost, keep fit (styles to suit you including yoga, aerobics, zumba, strength and balance conditioning), balance your chakras with Reiki and healing meditations.  Maybe you need a soothing sanctuary to plan the new decade or to recover from the old one, re-boot your life. Would you like to change a habit, stop a fear or get rid of unhealthy behaviours and unwanted beliefs?  NLP and Psych-K can help with that.  Enjoy some deeply transformative, quality time for yourself in our welcoming, holistic, comforting care.  You could return home having dropped a phobia, energised and balanced, full of faith, confidence, motivation and inspiration with realistic plans for the next stage of life's journey.  This mind body and soul retreat is exclusively tailored to your needs.

Your Personal Fitness

Tell me what you need for your wellbeing

Are you preparing for a special occasion, recovering from an injury, or just want to keep up your fitness regime?  Tell me what you need for your mind, body and soul wellbeing... balance, posture, strength, suppleness, stamina, speed, sport-specific, visualization, circuit training, HIIT, LIIT, exercise  bike, zumba, bodyweight exercises, yoga, mindfulness, relaxation, stress management, healthy dietary and lifestyle guidelines.  As a dance teacher, exercise instructor and PT for over 30 years, I believe there are infinite ways for every body to safely challenge, strengthen, stretch and relax.  

During the summer of 2018 I sadly lost my mother which was very emotional and very sudden.  It was at this point I was drawn to calling Kathy, booking and on a flight to France.  The whole weekend was very cathartic.  I was able to relax, face some of  my emotions and was able to feel at peace.  The hospitality, food, service and the retreat were all amazing.  Both Kathy and Robert treated me like a family member.  We laughed, I cried and totally relaxed.  So much so, that I have booked the house to celebrate my 50th birthday with four very close girlfriends."   Justine, 2018.

"An ideal place to share and make memories.  I shall always spend the weekend in September to remember my dear loving mother as I know she'll be looking  down on us.  Kathy and Robert are true gems.  This hideaway should be added to everyone's "bucket list".  Thank you both for giving back some love."  Justine, 2019.

Before seeing Kathy I was going round in circles, over-thinking everything and unable to make a decision to move my life forward.  I felt really trapped, by myself!  Kathy really helped me think about what I do what, not about what I don't, and to think about this in detail and positively which has really helped me take action, and I've more of the life I want.  She's so kind, reassuring and supportive.   Would recommend her to anyone needing some life guidance."  Juliana, during lockdown 2020.
