Visiting the Yurt

Please don’t arrive early and wander about. Stay in your car until I come and meet you.

There is a compost toilet you can use.

Please do not come to the yurt if you have a high temperature, feel unwell or have recently felt unwell.  Contact me as soon as possible and we can reschedule to an appropriate time.

Finding the yurt

The yurt is situated on a farm near Whitekirk.

The address is 9 Lochhouses Farm, EH42 1XP

 

The directions below are quite detailed to help you find us effortlessly. After the first few times it’s super easy 😊

It is a good idea to take a screen shot of the directions and save it to your phone as internet reception is patchy here

 

Directions

✨From Whitekirk ~ Take the A198 out of Whitekirk towards Tyninghame

Through the tunnel of trees 

There is a left turn on the bend marked LOCHHOUSES

Turn in here

 

✨From Tyninghame come straight up the A198 towards Whitekirk 

Turn right at the bend marked LOCHHOUSES

 

On the LOCHHOUSES road

You will see a sign for Harvest Moon and Lochouses Farm

Follow the signs for HARVEST MOON

Straight up the long track

You will come to signs with choices

Green way – tree houses

Blue way – safari tents and farm cottages

✨✨TAKE THE BLUE WAY! ✨✨

To the left, straight up the track

You will see lovely horses on the left 

(Unless it’s dark 😊)

Remember it is a farm track with a speed limit of 10miles an hour

There will be a bend to the right, then go straight 

At the yellow sign saying “slow down” there is a speed bump 

(a lump of concrete on the left bit of road)

Stay slow and gracefully pop over that 

You will now see a row of cottages on the left

Go past these and stay on the road 

(if you turn left here you will be off track and likely be lost!)

Keep going which will bring you through farm buildings (do not go up the driveway to the farmers house please!)

Again stay slow as you drive through the farm

Be aware you need to take a turn to the left just at the end of farm buildings

Take the turn to the left before the Harvest Moon Reception and Farm House on the right

 

On this left turn you will see no 10 cottage ahead with a red gate straight ahead & and a sign detailing where the yurt is

Go round to the right and the driveway for✨ the yurt is on the left

Pull in here

(Please only park in the yurt drive not outside this as farm vehicles need to pass) 

You’ll see a big tree

✨Park here (allowing space for cars to get out 😉 )

 

I’ll meet you at your car at the time of your appointment or class.

Please don’t wander around lost!  Stay in your car and I will come and find you.

 

Consultation Form

Before you come, please fill out and print off the consultation form which you can download here.

(Feel free to jiggle the layout around to fit it on one page)

Completing the form before saves time at the start of your session. No worries if you don’t manage to print it off. You can also complete the form when you arrive. If you have been to the Yurt before, but not completed a form in a while, please do a new one with up to date details.

Please don’t send forms to me by email. Forms are for you to bring with you on the day.

 

Arriving at the yurt

As there is no waiting room please do not arrive at the yurt early

Even by two minutes 😊

You will see a sign which either says  “come in!” when I’m available or “treatment in progress” if I’m with someone.

•         If it says “come in”, I am ready for you and you can make your way to the yurt
•         If it says “treatment in progress” please wait for me in your car.

Please do not panic, bang on the gate, or frantically call me if I am a few minutes late. I will be with you soon 😊

 ✨If you arrive more than 10mins late it’s not my responsibility to make up the lost appointment time.

 

Transport

By car: There is a drive way near the yurt to park your car.

By bicycle: There’s a safe space for your bike 😉

If you are feel unwell or think you have a contagious condition please let me know before you come to check its ok to receive a treatment or attend a class.

 

Yurt space

Shoes: The yurt is a shoe free zone. This is important as it keeps the space clear. You are welcome to use the inside front door mat to take your shoes on and off but

***please do not step on the wooden floor with your shoes at all***

Please only put your shoes on as you go out the door

Be aware of putting on your shoes then walking on the wooden floor. This happens often and defeats the purpose! 😊

Please respect the space and be conscious of this.

 

Phone: Please switch you mobile phone ✨completely off not just on silent before you come in so it doesn’t disturb you or anyone else’s special time in the yurt. Ideally don’t bring it in the yurt at all ☺️

 

Door: As the door is low please watch your lovely head when going in and out!

 

There is also a step to get in and out of the yurt. Please be careful as you may feel a bit spaced after a session 😊

 

It is difficult to leave the cosy yurt after a class or treatment. It’s a busy place so there may be someone else waiting outside. Please be mindful of someone else waiting to come in for their time in the yurt. You will have a couple of minutes after your session before you have to go but if you feel like you need more time before you travel home you may like to go for a walk.

 

A few other things…

✨There’s no lost property department therefore please make sure you bring your belongings home with you!

✨While emotional baggage is most welcome, lots of physical bags of stuff are not ideal. Please just bring what you need for sessions especially during busy classes.

✨To make sure you are comfortable and to prevent indigestion it’s best to avoid eating a big meal before a massage or class. A light meal two hours before is recommended.

✨To get the most benefit from your session it’s best to drink lots of water (1 to 2 litres) and rest as much as possible after a big healing experience to support integration.

✨Drinking alcohol after a class or treatment is not recommended and can make you feel unwell.

✨Anything you are not sure about or need some guidance on please get in touch 07931886573 or jen@reconnecttoself.com

 

I hope you enjoy your visit to the yurt. It is a very relaxed place so please feel free to come as your most comfortable self (a few people wear their pj’s and onesies!).

Looking forward to seeing you soon! ✨

Jen
