Steph now lives in North Wales and has opened Bodlondeb Studio & Retreat.
It has three en-suite dorm bedrooms, a kitchen-snug and a studio space where she can host rehearsals, courses and
other groups in need of an inspirational place to get creative.
Most importantly, this is where we run Both Feet's Intensive and immersive retreats - powerful, experiential and completely unique to us. We fuse the great outdoors of North Wales with our training to guide the learning even deeper into your body so it stays with you for life.
You could be stand up paddle boarding on the canal or white waters, canoeing, canyoning, diving into sumps, jumping off rocks 20ft high into a lake, exploring the hills, scrambling, axe throwing, archery, wicker basket weaving and foraging then making your dinner around a campfire...

A testimonial from Rosie
"I first came across Steph and Both Feet early on in the Covid-19 pandemic. Steph was hosting an online event to teach the skill of Free Writing for actors. I attended and was immediately taken with Steph's teaching style, her openness and energy, her warmth and her enthusiasm. From that moment I knew that I wanted to learn more about Both Feet.
Everything that I read about Steph and her work spoke to the actor and human I want to be. To live and act with truth and authenticity, with compassion and real feeling. Since then I've benefitted from training with Steph on a number of courses, both specifically for actors and for general wellbeing. The combination of the two is what makes this training so special and unique. And it's not just talk, her courses are genuinely life changing if you are open to trying new things and challenging yourself.
In Bodlendeb retreat she has created something truly special. The space itself, in rural North Wales, is beautiful. Everything about your stay has been so well thought through and it is cosy, welcoming and relaxing. The studio is perfect for scene work and Meisner technique, with large windows which allow the light to pour in. Although I was only there for a couple of days, it felt like so much longer, partly because of how much I had learned in the time I was there and partly because of how immersive the experience is. I felt so far away from my normal life, comfortably secure in the environment Steph has created. It feels magical.
Steph is an amazing teacher. She has a way of cutting through the carefully crafted protective guards we all put up and helps you to see yourself truthfully. Her belief in you is infectious, you will find yourself taking on new challenges that you wouldn't have thought possible. For example, I would not have considered myself an outdoor sports person, but I embarked on the paddle boarding expedition with real genuine excitement and loved every second, especially the falling in! The feeling of being able to let go of any control I might want and live in the moment with childlike glee felt amazing. I genuinely think I fell off a couple of times just because I was laughing so hard.
I can't wait to go back and do another retreat. If you are keen to open up, to learn more about you, other people and the world around you, challenge yourself and free yourself of the chains that hold you back, Steph, Both Feet and Bodlondeb is for you. I can't thank Steph enough for the changes she has helped me bring about in my life already in a short time of knowing her and I know I am going to achieve so much more in the future with her support and guidance."
