Bliss Retreats, based in Derbyshire, is a wellness retreat location offering various practices such as Yoga, Breath Work, Sound Healing, Mindfulness, Meditation, Chakra Dancing, and Crystals.
Bliss Retreats fosters mindfulness and wellbeing through retreat days, workshops and corporate away days to reset and recharge mind, body, and spirit.
Joanne Jepson, Director at Bliss Retreats founded the business in 2023, to create a safe space to provide grounding and relief to people experiencing various levels of poor mental wellbeing, feeling overwhelmed by life, or just looking to balance their hectic lifestyles allowing them to relax, recharge, refresh and re-connect.
Her Start Up Loan was delivered by the programme’s national partner, BizBritain.
Joanne Jepson, Founder/Director at Bliss Retreats commented:
“Everyone needs to take a break now and then; life’s hectic demands can prevent us from paying attention to our body, mind, and soul. That’s why Bliss Retreats offer a secure sanctuary, providing an opportunity to re-establish a connection while enjoying some much-needed time off.
“The British Business Bank and its partner BizBritain have been a great help in getting this business idea fully realised. We have made great strides already and are looking forward to all the people our business is going to be able help.”
