About Us

Our Story

Hi, we are Imogen and Sam, and together we are the founders of Holwell Holistic Retreat. 

We are two people who recognise the importance of inner work and healing. After both experiencing loss of an immediate family member in our early years we took to the path of introspection and self discovery, weaving through different healing modalities, nature connection, plant medicine, and spiritual practices which led to profound healing experiences that have shaped who we are today. We wanted to create a welcoming space surrounded by the beauty of nature for people to more easily access these healing resources, a space that truly holds them so they can bring their focus back to their health and happiness.

Imogen is an advanced yoga teacher and therapist having completed over 800hrs of certified yoga trainings. She has practiced bodywork and energy healing since 2010. With strong foundations in the Ashtanga Yoga tradition, she then went on to study Soma Medicine Yoga & Ayurveda. Under the guidance of her teachers, she continues her studies in plant medicine and trauma release work. She has always had a deep connection with the natural world, and this blossomed into her creating the organic skincare brand Lunari.  

Sam is the managing director at the retreat and the guardian of Holwell. His passion is taking care of the house, the grounds, and the guests who visit. He has a background in nature conservation, grounds maintenance, and gardening. He maintains the land in an organic respectful way, allowing nature to flourish and for people to enjoy it in its natural beauty. His love for hot and cold therapy led him to build our wood fired sauna garden which has become a special part of the experience when staying on retreat with us.

Holwell Holistic Retreat came about as part of a family vision and amalgamation of our families passions and resources. Together we are committed to ensuring Holwell continues to be the warm, held, transformative space that it is, in all its beauty, and for all to enjoy. 

We look forward to welcoming you into the Hollow.

Imogen & Sam - Founders, Holwell Holistic Retreat.
