Meet The Team
Millie McRobbie
(Chef)
Hello! My name is Millie and I am a self taught cook with over 15 years experience in the kitchen.
To me, food is so important not only for our bodies but also for our communities. It brings people together in day to day life and also in celebration. That's what I love about cooking for people.
My experience ranges from huge commercial kitchens creating handmade bakes and preserves, to cooking for the elderly & people with complex needs and diets. I trained in nutrition during my Health and Social Care career and I understand the complexity of an individual's needs and diet. Food is medicine after all.
For the past 7 years I've run a not for profit food waste initiative that intercepts perfectly edible food from heading to landfill. We create wholesome meals in our community café from this food and serve it on a pay what you can basis.
My passion lies in food and bringing people together so I am so excited to meet you and cook you delicious meals that I hope you'll find just as nourishing as all the other loveliness at this retreat.
Gemma Fox
(Teacher and therapist)
Hi, I'm Gemma, founder of Gower Wild Wellbeing. Before becoming a conservationist and ecotherapist, I was a yoga teacher. I've been teaching yoga for over 10 years, originally training in Sivananda style yoga, then going on to study Ashtanga, Yin and specialising in Prenatal yoga with CPD in Yoga Nidra. The style I now lead is quite unique, combining elemental visualisations, pranayama, and strong vinyasa flow balanced with gentle yin postures.
To combine yoga with ecotherapy we will be taking some of our sessions outside in the beautiful grounds and woodlands of Werganrose Farm to connect with the land and the elements. We will be integrating nature connection and therapeutic practices into our daily schedule to immerse ourselves in the healing powers of both nature and yoga.

Jo Stanford
(Reiki Practitioner)
Hi, I'm Jo :) I'm a dedicated practitioner with a passion for healing and wellness, which I believe is a state of complete harmony of body, mind and spirit. I devote my time to helping others achieve balance in their hectic everyday lives, through my practice 'The Light Touch'.
My journey into holistic health began with my exploration of Reiki, which sparked a profound interest in the power of energy healing, leading me to become a practitioner and soon to be Reiki Master. Since qualifying, I have expanded my range of skills to include many therapies, all which will be on offer on retreat. I'm thrilled to be joining you all on retreat and looking forward to meeting everyone!
