FAQs

  • The Soul Pod is in Barnet, North London (we’ll send you the full address once you’ve booked).

    Barnet is one of London’s greenest boroughs. There’s a lovely park and nature reserve at the bottom of the road - but it’s still London!

  • We don’t serve coffee, as many people are addicted to it. Coffee activates your adrenal glands, and you need to be in pretty good health to enjoy it without it causing you problems. We do serve Matcha, Guayusa, and other sources of caffeine that don’t give you the jolt that caffeine does. If the idea of going without coffee makes you nervous, don’t worry! You’ll discover our Coffee Addicts’ Delight, a healing blend of medicinal mushrooms and cacao that can help you take a break from coffee, while it supports your health and immune system. We can serve you this every day in place of your coffee, if you like. Or if you want to use your retreat to kick the caffeine habit altogether, we’ll support you by serving you delicious caffeine free teas and healthy drinks. If you do plan to quit coffee, we recommend cutting down gradually in the run-up to your retreat, so that you’re not experiencing withdrawal symptoms while you’re here, doing your healing.

  • We do, if you eat them, but sparingly. Most of our food is plant based.

  • We can cater for vegetarian, vegan and lactose-free diets. Most of the food we serve at the Soul Pod is naturally gluten free too (although we can’t guarantee that everything we serve is completely free of gluten traces). Please get in touch if you have more questions, or different dietary requirements.

Testimonials

  • Before I started therapy, I felt depressed, hopeless and like I had lost myself. Bernadette was able to help me through trauma from my childhood and identify how these events were triggering and affecting me in adulthood. I was nervous to begin with, but Bernadette is so lovely and made me feel super comfortable. Although I am no longer in therapy, I am able to use the tools I learnt in my sessions to help me continue my journey. I feel therapy taught me a lot about myself and I am a much stronger person because of it, even family members have commented on the difference they have noticed in me. My sessions with Bernadette have really helped change my life, I couldn’t recommend her enough!

  • Tara is an exceptionally gifted guide, teacher and shaman, with intuitive abilities that have helped me so many times.

    I have been lucky enough to benefit from her wisdom, insight and compassion for the past ten years of my life. Tara has helped me step into, and love myself for, who I truly am. She has supported me in identifying my life’s purpose, and believing I can offer the work I came here to do. If you get the chance to work with her, absolutely take it. She will help you on a deeper level and in a more profound way than you can imagine.

    Tara has also offered me deep healing on a soul level through her shamanic journeys, which provided me with insight and wisdom that helped me shift some deeply painful feelings I was experiencing after the birth of my daughter. No other means of healing, including traditional therapy, coaching, meditation or other forms of spirituality were able to touch this trauma in the way that her journeying did.

  • I was introduced to Bernadette through a friend and immediately felt a connection to her, she has an amazing aura and presence.

    Some months later we had a remote healing session to help me with some emotional issues I was going through, I cannot explain how amazing the session was, how powerful and most importantly how productive. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
