Wild-Ness Spa & Retreat

Wild-Ness Retreats, offers medically-led wellness retreats at Bearnock Lodge, a grand home set amidst mountains and forests just a few miles from Glen Affric.

The founder Dr Katharine Jones, a GP and accredited lifestyle medicine physician, leads a team of medical experts, holistic therapists and creative artists, to offer a range of educational events open to all, in addition to specialised courses for health professionals, holistic therapists and coaches.

Blending scientifically proven information and activities to promote wellbeing and prevent, treat and reverse long-term conditions, Wild-Ness also aims to make a positive contribution to the local “wellbeing economy” by encouraging visitors to stay longer, in particular during the off season, and increase trade to the vibrant artisan small business scene that exists throughout the Highlands.

Lifestyle Medicine is a new medical speciality that supports people with long-term health concerns in making small changes in their life to achieve big health gains. The approach uses motivational interviewing, a coaching technique that helps people work out what matters to them and encourages self-empowerment in addition to providing expert medical information about nutrition, activity, sleep, stress management, harmful substances and relationships.
