Lucy Dawson, Lochar Mill Riverside Retreat

Rural retreat with sauna

I am a self-employed business owner with a portfolio spanning hospitality, health, and wellbeing. I bring over 25 years’ experience in the hospitality sector, running two successful self-catering holiday homes on the Isle of Islay.

My work in health and wellbeing began formally when I qualified as a Registered Nutritional Therapist in 2021, completing a Diploma with the Institute for Optimum Nutrition in London. I now run a clinical practice in Strathaven and, in 2024, expanded further into wellbeing by opening an infrared sauna and cold-water therapy facility at our home near Strathaven.

The retreat offers a range of versatile, multi-purpose spaces for workshops, classes, events, and bespoke dining experiences. It is designed to bring these elements together, making it an ideal setting for corporate half-day or full-day retreats, as well as for individuals or practitioners looking to host their own wellbeing retreats.

I am a member of BANT and CNHC and hold a certificate in Cold Water Therapy. I am deeply passionate about supporting people to regain their health, build resilience, and discover what helps them feel well and happy. I believe that nothing is more important than health and happiness.
