The Health Collective
Meet Our Team of Experts
Escapada is a collective of practitioners, therapists and wellbeing experts, each bringing their own experience, expertise and way of working to our space.
While we each have our own specialisms, we share the same belief: that wellbeing is never one-size-fits-all.
Our approach is about looking at the whole person — bringing together modern health knowledge with the wisdom of more traditional practices to create care that feels personal, thoughtful and connected.
From our clinic practitioners and skin experts to our movement teachers and Experts in Residence, our team is here to support you at different points in your wellbeing journey.

MITCH Gilbourne Loughran

After 17 years living in the vibrant energy of Los Angeles, Mitch returned home in 2023 with a deep connection to holistic healing. Following in her father’s footsteps as a Reiki Master, she combines the soothing yet transformative practices of Reiki energy healing with immersive Sound vibrations, Meditation and Breathwork.

BECKY BRISTOW
Career & Life Coach, Business Mentor
Work or life might feel “fine”, you’re capable, functioning, not in crisis, yet you know you could feel better. More joy, more energy, more purpose. Something in you is shifting, but the next step isn’t clear or something keeps holding you back.
Coaching gives you space to stop, feel safe, and actually hear yourself. It’s time focused on you, because you matter. Becky blends coaching frameworks, mentoring insight, leadership experience and intuition to support you in moving forward with confidence.
