Explore Time For You
Explore time for you with bespoke sound treatments, stays and hand picked adventures in Scotland.
Soakency retreats always incorporate sound, to ground the body and nervous system. This includes Acutonics treatments and personal sound journeys bespoke to you and your current needs.
Your stay can incorporate other activities which include forest walks and chasing waterfalls, discovering ancient stone circles, mosiac making, art making or just relax, read a book or sleep!
Accommodation can be organised near the house and wholesome food is always at hand. If you are a solo traveler and would prefer to stay at the house, this can be organised too. Our retreat is located in the wilds of the unspoilt Scottish Borders, a place bursting with nature and wildlife for you to discover and also a dark sky area, so the night sky is pretty spectacular!
Retreats timings and stays are worked between us to accommodate your sound treatments and travel arrangements - if this calls you, get in touch to start organising time for you.

“Donnie is a skilled and gifted sound-healer; she works this craft with heart centered intention and deep knowledge and understanding of the practise and an intuitive creativity. The retreat allowed time for the treatments to settle into my mind, body and soul, with time and space to be in nature and meditate on thoughts and images that arose during the treatments. I felt very safe and welcomed into Donnie’s home where she has a sacred space for her healing art. We shared food which Donnie prepared with love and wholesome ingredients.
Donnie is very professional in her approach, with comprehensive pre-treatment assessment, thorough subjective assessment, clearly planned and executed treatments and warm and loving care after treatment. there was nothing I could find to improve on my experience.
I cant wait to return for another. After 2 days I felt re-set for the season ahead. I can’t recommend strongly enough, if you are even just a little bit interested, do not hesitate to contact Donnie for a chat - you won’t regret it!

“Donnie's house is peaceful, gorgeous, and comfortable. I felt very much at home, and loved that I could spend time wherever I felt like it and hang out as much or as little as I fancied.
I also really appreciated how easy Donnie made it to get to where she is. I am a solo traveller and travel by public transport, and getting picked up from the station in Carlisle made it really easy and stress-free for me.
I find the treatments extremely relaxing. It feels like an amazing thing to do for my nervous system. The treatment room is really cosy and beautiful, and the experiences of both Acutonics and sound journeys feel like a sort of otherworldly, magical thing. I've never experienced anything like it anywhere else.
Donnie laid out a few options for activities that we could do in terms of excursions to things in the local area, like a nice walk and visiting a Buddhist temple, or more creative options like mosaic making and painting. I appreciated that it was flexible and I could choose as I felt.
The food that Donnie made was clearly made with enthusiasm and love. It was nourishing, tasty, and ample!
I have never had a weekend like this where somebody really looked after my every need so attentively. I didn't even make myself a cup of tea while I was there! Donnie is an extremely nurturing person, and I was really touched by the effort that she put into this. I'm so happy that I was able to experience it. Thank you!”
