Most coaches run their programs from coffee shops, home offices, rented boardrooms, or clients' offices. The work happens in spite of the setting, not because of it. If you're running group programs, intensives, or somatic sessions, the space you work in either supports the container or works against it.
Fernwood Hills is available for coaches and facilitators by the session, half-day, or full day. It's a 40-acre private property in Komoka — 10 minutes from London, Ontario. The Studio Loft and Farmhouse are available separately or together. You bring the curriculum. The property handles the rest.
What the Setting Does
Coaches who run programs here consistently describe the same thing: participants show up differently in this environment. The drive out of the city, the trees, the quiet — it shifts people from their ordinary mode before the session starts. Forty acres of Carolinian forest is not a neutral backdrop. It's a co-facilitator.
The property is exclusive-use. When you book, there are no other groups on site. No hotel conference room energy, no reception desk, no ambient noise from an adjacent meeting. Your participants can be fully in it.
The Spaces
Two main working spaces, available separately or combined:
- Studio Loft — 1,120 sq ft of open hardwood floor with vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling forest-facing windows. No furniture to move. Designed for movement-based facilitation, group coaching circles, somatic work, and breathwork. Up to 20 participants.
- The Farmhouse — a restored heritage farmhouse with a long harvest table, full working kitchen, and outdoor deck. Best for talk-based facilitation, vision work, and cohort sessions where the table is part of the format. Up to 25 participants.
Both spaces have 1 Gbps fibre WiFi, AV capability, and access to trails, a fire pit, and outdoor meadow for breaks.
Program Formats That Work Here
- Leadership coaching days — 1:1 or group, executive clients

- Somatic and embodied facilitation — body-based practices, breathwork, movement

Pricing and Access
Venue rates are flat — not per-person. A session (3 hours), half-day, or full day. Coaches who run recurring programs often book standing slots once they've run their first program here. Manna farm-to-table catering is available on request for groups that want meals included.
Fernwood Hills is at 9533 Oxbow Drive, Komoka, Ontario — 10 minutes from London on Highway 2. Parking for 20+ vehicles. Your participants drive directly to the property.
