Nurture Saddleworth Yoga & Therapy Centre

I highly recommend Nurture Saddleworth. The clue is in the name - you literally feel held and nurtured from the moment you step into the studio/treatment room. There's a very special energy here and I feel so blessed to have discovered this wonderful gem of a place. Special thanks to Sophie for the beautiful yoga classes, facials and dance parties! Shelagh is wonderful too, and she held a gorgeous yin yoga workshop which I had the pleasure of attending. I now feel part of a like-minded community which I've been craving for a long time.

I had the most wonderful aromatherapy massage from Sophie at nurture. From the moment you walk into the room, you can hear the tweeting of the birds, a blend of essential oils are mixed for your needs and she lets you settle in and relax for your massage. Sophie has absolutely magical hands, I came away feeling so much lighter and calmer. It was the most relaxing massage I’ve ever had and I couldn’t recommend her anymore!

I’ve been having Reiki and Indian Head Massage with Sophie for a couple of years now. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Sophie is a wonderful practitioner - kind, knowledgable and professional. Whatever is going on around me, Reiki with Sophie helps me to feel balanced, clear minded and open hearted - and the combination of Reiki and Indian Head Massage is such a beautiful and calming experience.

I would definitely recommend this amazing place. The environment as soon as you walk in is calming and nurturing; the natural light, birds tweeting, the magnificent plants and not forgetting the beautiful souls who work there. I had an aromatherapy massage which was the best massage I have ever had. Sophie ensured a holistic approach the oils were tailored to me the massage was amazing I was left feeling completely relaxed. Thankyou so much x if

Nurture truly is a special place. The Indian head massage and reiki is a wonderful experience. Sophie’s sensitivity and gentle energy always cultivates a synergy between mind body and soul. I can’t recommend it enough!

I’ve been going to Sophie For Reiki and Indian head massage for a good few months now, and see this as an essential part of looking after myself.Something other worldly happens during these sessions and I’m transported to a place of complete relaxation, calmness and contentment. If I could book in for weekly sessions I would. She is an amazing person ♥️I also go to Sophie’s embodied yoga classes, which are a complete joy. Any stressful thoughts and feelings slip away and I leave feeling empowered and at peace. There really is something special about Nurture Yoga, from the moment you step through the door you’re surrounded by an incredible, comforting energy. Like a big warm bear hug. Totally recommend this place.

Full Disclosure: I am a Yoga Teacher at Nurture myself… but I’ve been thinking about it and what better person to review than a Teacher themselves. When I get chance, I go to Sophie F’s (Co-Owner of Nurtures) class on a Thursday evening and every single time her Yoga class blows me away. She is an exemplary teacher for the following reasons: She teaches from the heart with thought provoking themes interwoven with spoken poetry, rousing music and this evening she even gave those who wanted it a gentle head massage which made me feel so grounded and calm. Sophie is the epitome of my kind of Yoga; the Yoga she teaches is about how Yoga feels, not how it looks. In her class you will learn to relax and soften your body. I love how she encourages you to explore each shape and to make it your own. This evening her practice created a thought in my mind “Its ok to receive”. Sophie walks the path of Yoga by shining her light of knowledge in our community through her services at Nurture. Her and Shelagh (other Co-Owner of Nurture) have created a place of safety, integrity and compassion. If you are in need of a time out from life, visit Nurture and I guarantee you won’t regret it!

Just a quick note of thanks, the best and most relaxing experience - facial, Indian head massage and reiki treatment ever.. Thank you Sophie for making me feel fabulous! Highly recommend to have all treatments at Nuture Saddleworth.
