Singing, Reiki, Meditation, and Well-Being in Normandy
Singing, Reiki, Meditation, and Well-Being in Normandy
Reconnect with yourself, nurture your well-being and explore your creativity in a retreat designed for you.
At HeartSong Normandie, we offer personalised retreat experiences combining singing, vocal coaching, Reiki sessions and training, mantra and meditation in a gentle and supportive environment.
Each retreat is shaped around what you choose — whether you want to find your voice and sing from the heart, explore meditation or mantra chanting to relax and nurture calm, experience Reiki, or learn how to use it through our training workshops.
You can choose a retreat that suits you — from a half-day (minimum 2.5 hours) to a full day or a longer stay over several days.
No previous experience is needed.
Whether you are completely new to singing, meditation or Reiki, or already have experience and would like to deepen your practice, everything is guided at a pace that feels comfortable and meaningful for you.
Your retreat is completely personalised — we will help you create something that feels right for you.
What Our Guests Say
What Our Guests Say
"It was just lovely to sing again and I thoroughly enjoyed the personal coaching Peter - I’ve now got a much better understanding of how to sing well and without a doubt much more confidence in my abilities (no more miming for me!). It feels like you really have helped me find my voice - thank you. And I’m still smiling at all your jokes."
“Today was a very special moment for me, the start of new beginnings. I am so happy that you were a big part of that, your encouragement, support and knowledge will take me through and thank you for your kind words.”

"I cannot praise Ema and Pete who lovingly created HeartSong Normandie enough. The thought and care that they provide for every single person who are fortunate enough to join them goes above and beyond all expectations. If anyone is nervous or anxious - don’t be. The whole experience whatever your levels/needs turns into one joyful experience from the moment you enter their door until the moment you leave. There is humour and love in abundance."

About Us...
Ema
Ema
Ema is an integrative well-being practitioner with over 20 years’ experience in therapeutic, retreat, and holistic settings. Her work is grounded in presence, compassion, and nervous system awareness, creating supportive spaces where people can slow down, reconnect, and restore balance.
She holds an MA in Group and Intercultural Psychotherapy and a BMus (Hons) in Music from Goldsmiths, University of London, and is a Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki Master-Teacher. Her work brings together Reiki, meditation, mantra, sound, and gentle embodied practices to support well-being.
Music has always been an important part of Ema’s life. She sings regularly in the Heartsong choir and mantra gatherings and performs alongside Peter. For her, music is about connection, shared experience, and the simple joy of singing together.
Through retreats, Reiki, meditation, and sound practices, Ema offers a calm and nurturing space where guests can reconnect with themselves and support their well-being.
Peter
Peter
Peter has been a professional musician, vocal coach, and group facilitator for over 30 years. His musical journey began in the 1970s as the frontman of a punk band, and he later trained with renowned singing teacher Tona de Brett.
He specialises in helping people find and trust their voice, working with everyone from experienced performers to complete beginners who believe they cannot sing.
Alongside singing and vocal coaching, Peter is also an experienced meditation teacher and singer-songwriter. His approach combines music, mindfulness, humour, and encouragement to help people sing more freely and confidently.
Peter has been running singing retreats in France since 1997. Together with Ema, he previously ran a creative well-being retreat centre in the Limousin before moving to Normandy in 2021 to create HeartSong Normandie.
