About Sukhada and Shambala Holistic & Retreat Centre

Shambala is a calm lakeside centre for holistic therapies, Reiki teaching, residential retreats and restorative wellness days.

Since 1999

A Long-Practised Holistic Approach

Sukhada Smith-Repass has been practising holistic therapies since 1999 and teaches Reiki from Shambala Holistic & Retreat Centre in Derrylin, Co. Fermanagh.

The centre sits alongside Upper Lough Erne, where the landscape naturally supports the work: quiet water, open sky, and space to slow down. Shambala welcomes people seeking a single therapy session, a Reiki training pathway, a sound bath, a wellness day or a residential retreat.

The work is natural, non-invasive and individual. Rather than treating people as symptoms, Shambala takes a whole-person view, helping guests relax, re-energise and reconnect with their own capacity for self-healing and natural balance.

Founder

Sukhada Smith-Repass

Sukhada Smith-Repass is the founder and heart of Shambala Holistic & Retreat Centre. For more than 26 years, she has welcomed people to this quiet place by Upper Lough Erne for holistic therapies, Reiki teaching, sound healing, retreats and gentle restorative care.

Her approach is warm, grounded and deeply individual. Sukhada listens carefully, works intuitively, and brings together long experience with a calm practical presence, helping guests feel safe enough to slow down, reset and reconnect with themselves.

People come to Shambala for many reasons: stress, grief, burnout, life change, curiosity, learning, or simply the need for stillness. Sukhada meets each person without judgement, offering care that is personal, steady and rooted in genuine practice.
