About your trip

Timings: 10am - 5.30pm


Join us for a soulfully curated transformation day in the elegant surroundings of Norton House Hotel & Spa, a sanctuary of calm on the outskirts of Edinburgh.


Designed to help you reconnect, reset, and realign, this immersive experience blends gentle movement, embodied breath work, resilience coaching, nourishing food, and mindful time in nature. 


You’ll be greeted with a delicious welcome spread, guided through two transformative wellness sessions in small, supportive groups, and treated to a nourishing two-course lunch in beautiful surroundings before having free time to access the stunning Spa facilities.


Whether you’re seeking space to breathe, tools for emotional strength, or simply a break from the pace of everyday life, this day offers the chance to slow down, tune in, and walk away feeling more grounded, empowered, and at ease, all within the peaceful setting of a luxurious country house hotel.
