From 24th to 26th May 2019, Po...

After a year of moving around, with a mix of highs and lows, a bit of soulful restoration was in order. Heading across town to the leafy calms of Richmond, I went to check out Bhuti and booked in for the emotionally-restorative kundalini back treatment (60 mins for £75).
