There is something incredibly exciting about seeing a local space reinvented, especially when it is dedicated to health, wellness, and movement.
As part of our growing business community, we are thrilled to welcome Anna Marie Reid, the founder of Drovers Studio, to the Do Business Network. Based at The Byre, Redwell Hills Farm in Leadgate (DH8 7SH)—the premises formerly known as the House of Botanics—Anna Marie is bringing a fresh, expert-led approach to physical wellbeing in County Durham.
To celebrate, Drovers Studio is hosting an official opening event on Saturday 4th July 2026, and everyone is invited to come along, explore the beautiful new space, and discover what is on offer.
Clinical Expertise Meets Holistic Care
What sets Drovers Studio apart is the high level of professional expertise behind every service. Anna Marie is a highly qualified practitioner holding a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy, alongside HCPC (Health and Care Professions Council) registration and MCSP (Chartered Society of Physiotherapy) membership.
When you visit, you are not just getting a standard wellness session; you are benefiting from clinical experience, authoritative knowledge, and evidence-based practice. The studio provides a comprehensive range of services tailored to individual recovery, strength, and relaxation:
Physiotherapy-Led Pilates: These small group sessions bridge the gap between fitness and rehabilitation. Because they are led by a qualified physiotherapist, every movement is designed to safely build core strength, improve posture, and prevent injury.
Physiotherapy Services: From general musculoskeletal conditions to specialized post-surgery rehabilitation, treatments focus on treating the root cause of pain using a thorough, holistic approach.
Professional Massage Therapy: Whether you require deep tissue work, remedial massage for specific tension, or the pure relaxation of hot stones, the treatments are designed to restore balance to both body and mind.
A Space Designed for Collaboration
Drovers Studio isn't just a destination for clients; it is also a beautiful environment for other local practitioners. If you are a healthcare or wellness professional looking for a gorgeous, tranquil space to work from, Anna Marie is open to discussions about collaboration and room rental.
