Charlotte Church has given a sneak peek inside her "hardcore" renovation of her £1.5million wellness retreat.
The singer has opened up about the renovation of the Welsh property which opened last month after overcoming building issues.
The 37-year-old had to overcome a series of planning issues in order to change the retreat which is the former home of Laura Ashley in the Elan Valley.
It is now a wellbeing retreat featuring a "womb room" and vagina-shaped showers.
Appearing on Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett's Dish podcast, Charlotte talked about how she transformed the retreat which is called The Dreaming.

She said: "We're flanked by two waterfalls, either side. One which has got hydro mill, so we get a lot of our power from the hydro mill in the Elan Valley, which is situated in the Cambrian Mountains.

The retreat is situation in the Elan Valley (Elliot Cooper)"And it's just like, oh, it's so beautiful. I love it so much. I've been doing a renovation of it for the last two years, which was hardcore. But amazing.
"Like I really got to just be really creative and just put like, all of my creativity into, into something so different to, you know, music or anything that I would generally think I was creative at, I suppose."
Charlotte said that she will still be involved at the retreat as she is set to work as a sound healer.
Prices start from £450 (Elliot Cooper)
Those who go to the retreat can choose their activities (Elliot Cooper)She said: "I'm a sound healer now, so I'm doing stuff at The Dreaming, which is really about pulling out the strands of how sound can be used for healing, how voice can be used for healing.
"I wanna sort of try and meld this idea of music and healing, and voice and healing, with that joy and ecstasy."
Charlotte explained that those who are coming to the property can treat it like a "buffet" and can choose each activity they do.
