Back to Nature Fest 2026

July 21st, 2026

My name is Stacey I am a complementary therapist and farmer’s wife who offers treatments such as reflexology, oncology and aromatherapy massage, and reflexology lymph drainage, in my summer house on our 96 acre dairy farm in Trelleck Grange, Chepstow.

I also make natural homemade products like soaps using raw cows milk and lotion bars using local beeswax. Each product is tested for safety and tailored to themes such as menopause, stress relief and chronic pain.

If you are interested in a treatment or any of my products you can visit my website https://timetoreflex.co.uk. Tel 07886886433. Email: stacey@timetoreflex.co.uk

As s therapist I spend my time working with clients who are suffering side effects of pharmaceutical products and more and more have fed back that they love the environment I have to offer and it helps their wellbeing and from this a simple vision was formed BacktoNatureFest26: to bring people together through nature, wellbeing, creativity, learning, and community.

On 19th September 2026, we’ll be hosting the first Back2Nature Fest at Trellech Grange in the beautiful Monmouthshire countryside, creating a welcoming outdoor space filled with talks, workshops, wellbeing experiences, independent businesses, traditional skills, and opportunities to reconnect with both nature and each other, in a safe, nurturing environment.

Although social media is a great advertising platform, people can get overwhelmed by the different options and don’t know who they can turn to, during the event they have the opportunity to speak to people face to face, build relationships and know who they can turn to for further support for their wellbeing

As the current state of farming is quite dire, I am also looking to showcase what the farm has to offer during the event, as I am looking at working collaboratively with other professionals to build a community based wellbeing space.

Back to life

August 22nd, 2022

This morning I lost my temper. Unexpectedly and quite spectacularly.

Fitting In

“Look for simplicity. Simplicity always holds the key you’re looking for.

The conference was exploring […]

“Let’s talk about Mental Health” – Helen Garrett

May 10th, 2022

I have always been passionate about reducing the stigma of mental illness. Although one can argue that it is much more widely spoken about now it saddens me that so many people continue to find it difficult to reach out and get help, to frightened to talk to friends or family, or believe that “nobody […]

“Literally everybody is sitting in the middle of mental health. . . but they don’t know it.”~ Sydney Banks Take a moment to reflect on your understanding of the term ‘mental health.’ What does it mean to you? How specific could you be, about what it actually is? How would you define it? If, like […]

“Watch your problems, instead of being lost in them.” ~ Michael A. Singer Take a moment to think about what irritates you the most – that one thing guaranteed to push your buttons. Is it bad drivers?
