Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS WILDWOOD WELLNESS, AND WHO IS IT FOR?
Wildwood Wellness started as a Pilates Reformer Studio on a beautiful 7 acre property. We noticed there was a need in the community for a place to go that featured feeling better body and mind and offering a way to connect to others besides going to a pub. We aim to be a soulful retreat on our 250-year-old farm near Wexford Town, Johnston Castle and Rosslare Beach, designed for all ages over 18 to unwind, reconnect body and mind and bond with friends. Unlike fancy spas, we offer earthy, rejuvenating innovative therapies in a natural setting, perfect for those craving an escape from life’s rush.
