About Us

Somercecil was founded by Bella Somerset and Gaby Cecil, two friends who connected through their shared passion for adventure and wellbeing. Bella (Mountain Leader, Yoga teacher and Health Coach) and Gaby (Consultant and Qualified Outdoor Guide) built Somercecil to create experiences for people to thrive and connect. Movement, nature and connection is their elixir, and they champion these notions in everything they do. What they say: “We have one mission, to help employees return to a naturally, restful and happy state, and ultimately feel well”.
