Hello Autumn 🍂

26/10/2026

**You can’t put down a weight if you don’t realise you’re carrying it.**

Sometimes it’s the things we’ve forgotten, pushed aside or learned to live with that leave us feeling stuck, drained or unable to move forward.

At The Sshed, we work together to uncover what’s holding you back, let go of what you no longer need to carry, and help you walk away feeling lighter, freer and more like yourself.

**You don’t have to keep carrying it all.** 🤎

Ready to take that first step? Explore the therapies available at The Sshed and find out how we can work together.

💛 **WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WERE THE ONE BEING LOOKED AFTER?**

You’re often the one making sure everyone else is alright. Keeping things moving, remembering what needs done and being there when others need you.

But what about you?

Come on your own, or bring a friend, partner or relative to share the experience.

🌊 STOP. STEP OUT. COME BACK TO YOURSELF. 🌊

What if, just for one weekend, you stepped away from the busyness, the expectations, the endless lists and the feeling that there is always something else you should be doing?

Not to escape your life, but to give yourself a little space to find your way back into it.

✨ Three businesses. Three women. Many paths travelled. One weekend to share.
The Sshed, Soul Vibe and Portsoy Marble and Cottages are bringing together their experiences, their knowledge and their passion for creating space for people to reconnect with themselves.

📍 Portsoy, Aberdeenshire
📅 Friday 27th – Sunday 29th November

Imagine two nights in a shared cottage nestled within the historic harbour of Portsoy. Step outside and discover a different pace of life, where the sea, the fresh air and the quiet invite you to leave the outside world behind for a while.

There is no packed itinerary, no pressure to join in and no expectation to be anything other than yourself.

Just gentle guidance from two holistic therapists, time to wander, coastal walks, conversations that go a little deeper, and evenings spent sharing food, stories and knowledge that perhaps life has been too busy for you to hear in a long time.

There may even be a glass of something nice along the way! 🥂

This is a weekend for anyone who feels the world tightening its grip, whatever your age or stage of life. You might be juggling family, work, responsibilities or simply the constant noise of everyday living. Perhaps you have forgotten what it feels like to have time that belongs just to you.

Before December arrives with its own demands, give yourself permission to STOP.
Step out of the rush. Let the sea set the pace. Recharge, reconnect and find a little more ease within yourself.

Then, when you return, you can slide into the festive season feeling a little lighter, a little clearer and more like you again. ❤️

🏡 Two nights | One unhurried weekend | Shared accommodation

Three businesses, three women and a beautiful corner of Aberdeenshire waiting to welcome you.

Sometimes, the best way to move forward is to stop for a while.

If this speaks to you, get in touch to find out more. Your place in the cottage might be just what you need.

Hello folks.

What a day that we have had. Went out wandering after prepping soup and goodies for tomorrows Escape Day!
The leaf represents a little intrigue for my Escapers.
Have you noticed how green the trees still are? They must be feeling okay and not needing to withdraw yet 🤞🏻we enjoy this for a little while yet.
Enjoy your Sunday - if your plans change,, there is always a place at an Escape for you. Px 🧡🍂

Hello folks 🍂

Come along on Sunday for a day of switching down, not switching off!
A chance to slow the pace, recharge yourself and discover ways to let go of the things that might be making life feel a little unbalanced.

Work piling up? Family relying on you to fix everything? Everyone else seeming to get on better than you are?
Sound familiar? You’re not alone!
Sometimes, we get so caught up in keeping everything going for everyone else that we forget to listen to ourselves.

This is your invitation to step out of the everyday, make some space for yourself and reconnect with what you need.

No pressure, no expectations. Just a chance to discover a few helpful tools and find a little more balance. Because you matter too. 🧡

Come as you are, take what you need, and leave with a fresh perspective and some new ways to make life feel that bit lighter.
To book your place, drop a message to The Sshed. I’d love to see you Sunday! 🧡
