The Orchard Studios Reviews 77

This is the second retreat I’ve had the blessing of attending, and each time I’m reminded of Harriet’s rare gift, the way she uplifts everyone around her and creates a space where you feel completely included and empowered. The moment I arrive, a sense of comfort and belonging washes over me. It’s a sanctuary to learn, grow, and reset. Every detail of the trip reflects such care and intention; through the yoga, activities, the location, and the people who attend. There’s nothing I would change. If I could be at every retreat, I absolutely would.

The Orchard Method Almería retreat is truly exceptional - I’ve been lucky enough to attend twice. Harriet creates an intimate, authentic experience that allows you to fully step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with yourself. You leave with a renewed sense of clarity and intention, but also with the practical tools you can carry into your daily routine.
Each retreat has been deeply transformative for me, shaping both my mindset and the way I care for myself. It’s a rare and powerful experience—something that really does feel like pure magic. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out!

In love with this place! Iv been to various classes and workshops...Nothing but great experiences each and every time, Harriet is incredible, the studio is unbelievably beautiful and surrounded by nature too!? What else is needed!💙 🙏

I visited Harriet at the Derma Clinic for a neck and shoulder massage yesterday . What a relaxing, stress free 30 minutes it was. Her personality and the calming atmosphere just added to the whole experience and I can now move my neck! I will be back Harriet.

Harriet is such an amazing person.

Made me feel totally at ease right from the start.

I got clear instructions about what might and could unfold.

What can I say but such an amazing experience.

Thank you so much.

Gorgeous reiki session this morning with Harriet at 36 weeks pregnant.

Lovely surroundings and a wonderful experience! Would recommend to all who are looking for some calm and clarity towards the end of pregnancy. ❤️❤️

1st reiki session today with Harriet today and a 5* experience.
A beautiful setting, clean space and professional from start to finish. The extra touches of the treatments being explained in detail were great too.
Looking forward to returning.

ALMERIA RETREAT 2025

Transformational Experience Mind, Body & Soul

I feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to attend Harriet’s retreat in Almería. She created such a thoughtful and balanced experience that nurtured the mind, body, and soul everything from start to finish was simply perfect.

I left the retreat feeling completely recalibrated, grounded, and with a new sense of clarity. I also learned so much about yoga, which I hadn’t truly understood before. As someone who suffers from skin problems and also owns a natural skincare brand, I was amazed to see how much my skin improved during the retreat. It wasn’t just the skincare it was the yoga, the energy, and the overall healing environment that made a real difference. That, to me, speaks volumes about the power of what Harriet and her team have created.

The villa was beautiful, the location was stunning, and the food prepared by two wonderful in-house chefs was absolutely delicious. We were cared for so well by Harriet and her team throughout. The schedule was perfectly balanced: a mix of yoga, relaxation, journaling, connection, and fun.

I met such amazing people, shared unforgettable moments, and came away feeling deeply at peace. The five days were nothing short of magical. I truly couldn’t recommend this retreat enough and I honestly cannot wait for the next one in 2026.

The yoga retreat was a surprise gift for my birthday. I attended with my daughter and we were blown away by how good it was!
The whole experience was amazing from start to finish with a perfect mix of activities and relaxation. My daughter has a very restricted diet and we were worried what she would be able to eat but they were able to cater for any food requirements, no matter how specific, this really enhanced her experience and allowed her to fully relax and enjoy it.
The accommodation was ideal, it was spacious but cosy with lots of places to decompress including a pool area.
The group of people we met were all lovely and we bonded very closely, we were sad to say goodbye.
Every credit to Harriet for creating this welcoming environment where we felt safe to open up to an experience that has been truly cathartic.
We highly recommend this retreat to anyone who feels as though they need a reset or just a break from their everyday life.

Harriet’s yoga class is the great combination of relaxation and challenge. I find that the exercises are perfect for me in maintaining flexibility and staving off aches and pains. I come away from class feeling so good and this carries over for some time.

I just recently started attending Harriet’s yoga sessions - mainly as advised for medical reasons, however I now love going and the morning and evening classes either set me up for the day or relax me for the evening.

I had Reki with Harriet today, something I’d previously tried a year or so ago with another individual, however I didn’t gain anything at all from the experience unfortunately. When i learned that Harriet does Reki i booked to see if i would get a different experience, and i really did. I saw parts of my life, children, people from my past and a wolf throughout the session. I was extremely relaxed, which is something I struggle with. My body and pain in certain places has eased. Highly recommend trying both yoga and Reki with the orchard studios.

Today was my 4the session with Harriet. She is such a welcoming, kind and beautiful soul. The session was enlightening, as always, she connected to everything that has been going on for me. The treatment was powerful, I felt lots of different things. I feel lighter and calmer almost immediately. I would highly recommend Harriet and this is now part of my self care routine

I’ve been going to The Orchard Studios since January and it’s honestly become my favourite place. I’ve done classes with Emma, Harriet, Chloe and Vicki, as well as some of the workshops and every single one has been brilliant. Each teacher brings their own style and energy, each session is completely unique, which makes every visit feel fresh and inspiring. The studio itself is so cosy and welcoming, it really feels like a little break away from reality whenever I go.

I had my first reiki session with Harriet and already booked my next one with her. I went open minded and never expected to feel so calm and positive afterwards. Harriet is such a lovely person very calming and explains everything so well before and after treatment.

Absolutely love Nicolas meditation classes. It’s an hour of complete relaxation, can’t thank you enough.

I had the most wonderful reiki experience with Harriet yesterday! I decided to visit Harriet for reiki as I have been experiencing a lot of anxiety recently and, for quite some time, have been feeling disconnected from myself, and I felt that reiki may benefit me in these areas. As Harriet herself identified, I constantly have A LOT of chatter in my head! This can make it very difficult for me to relax, but Harriet managed to achieve this within the session. I noticed lots of different sensory experiences, starting with my breathing noticeably slowing down followed by tingling, warmth, and a sensation similar to something being opened / stretched in my head and heart chakras. I frequently experience a lot of pain in my feet and, although I knew this wasn’t happening in reality, I began to feel as though my feet were being massaged due to the transfer of energy which released so much tension for me. I instantly felt simultaneously relaxed and energised and, for the first time in a long time, had no Sunday-night-dread, enabling a good night’s sleep free from anxiety and a calm and collected start to my working week. Harriet’s passion, knowledge and ability in the art is truly impressive - she was even able to determine at what point in my menstrual cycle I was as a result of the work she did! Not only is Harriet a great practitioner but she is also a genuinely lovely person with such a warm and welcoming aura that enables you to instantly relax in her presence. I am looking forward to observing further changes as the week continues to unfold and hope to become more in tune with my intuition and true self again. I would highly recommend Harriet to anyone who is considering trying reiki, and will certainly look to re-visit her myself for further sessions in the future. Thank you Harriet for the provision of joy, peace and energy that your sublime skill has enabled!

I had a truly transformative Reiki session with Harriet. From the moment we began, I felt completely at ease in her calming presence. I left the session feeling grounded, lighter, and deeply refreshed. I’m so grateful for the experience and highly recommend her to anyone seeking energetic balance and healing.

Great early morning yoga practice with Jen (covering for Emma I think). Lovely peaceful studio too

Amazing experience as always. Harriet has created a wonderful, welcoming space at The Orchard Studios. I attend a weekly yoga class which is superb and the sound baths just feel like a lovely little treat. 1 hour of deep relaxation. Who wouldn't benefit from that!

Lovely and calm setting. Carly’s soundbath is perfect.
