EMILY STOREY
Cookery Tutor
I have run Treetops for almost 20 years now and have lost count of the amount of lunches and suppers I have cooked, the fruit kebabs put together for the pilates morning, the soup suppers for yoga nights and the canapés for Aroma Yoga!
I have great experience in cooking for groups, juggling food allergies and intolerances, and love working to a ‘theme’! That’s when I can get really creative.
We have an Aga here at Treetops, but our demo style cookery classes are for both traditional oven owners and Aga owners.
For several years I owned and ran Colourful Cupcakes, supplying cakes for weddings, parties and celebrations and also running Cupcake Classes here at Treetops. (My blog is still up if you like

LAURA ROUTH-PARSONS
Woodland Retreats Tutor
Laura used to work at Treetops, with weekly yoga and meditation mornings, candlelit yoga & supper evenings and Retreat Days, before leaving to become a mother. Laura trained as a dancer, she worked in the corporate world in marketing, before training as a yoga teacher and her life opened up into new learnings and new trainings.
Laura is now working as a meditation guide, breath work teacher, energy worker, storyteller, sound alchemist, yoga guide, somatic practitioner and spiritual mentor. She currently shares both group gatherings and one to one holdings, and we felt now was the time to create some special Woodland Retreat days.
The most common feedback and memories people have of Laura is her amazing soft voice during classes, it's so relaxing and soothing.
