A Space to Be
Established in 2009, we provide a small , safe space for the healing practices of yoga, relaxation, massage and meditation.
A warm welcome is waiting for those seeking peace, stillness and sanctuary.
Yoga
A Space to Be is the home of Lucy Maresh who is an experienced holistic therapist and yoga teacher. She specialises in making yoga accessible to people of all ages and abilities and has almost twenty years of experience.
Massage
Lucy’s massage training has covered Swedish Massage, Holistic Massage, Sports Massage, Thai Massage, Pregnancy Massage, Abdominal Detox (Chi Nei Tsang), Acupressure and more. She weaves all her skills together with her yoga background to meet the needs of each individual as a whole.
Retreats
Stay in our quiet, uncluttered guest suite. You can soak up the views and ‘just be’, or plan a full itinerary of yoga and massage. There are lovely walks on the doorstep in Shilbottle, and it is a short drive to the beach at Alnmouth or Warkworth.
Lucy is a great therapist who makes you feel at ease and is always considerate to ensure she is applying the right amount of pressure and seeking feedback on what she can feel in your body… For anyone considering having a massage I would highly recommend it – whether you feel you have tension building and have a physical need or you want to have more of a pamper session to lift your spirits.
Denise, Massage Therapy
I cannot recommend Lucy’s pregnancy and postnatal yoga classes enough. As a first time Mum they were an amazing place to go and learn about all the changes, physically and emotionally, that were happening to me. Learning to relax and using her yoga nidras prepared me for labour and enabled me to deliver at a midwife led unit with no pain relief. It was also a great place to make friends with other Mums to be.
