Pilates & Yoga with Jill

02/11/2025

I have loved getting back into running and love running Park Run -Brentwood at South Weald Park. With a new hip I am not supposed to run at all, but running is the one exercise that rebalances my mind, connects me back to nature, and gives me time to focus and think. I usually get my best inspiration when running and often figure out answers to anything may have stopped me moving forwards. The connection and comradery that I feel from everyone I meet and chat too is just lovely. I see myself running quicker and can only put this down to Pilates. It has a unique way of building flexibility and strength in equal measures to enhance mobility and movement patterns. I look forward to striving for some more Park Run PB's in 2026. Ps. Thank you Sarah Goodey for always encouraging me too. 😘

Life moves fast, and after a long week at work it’s easy to feel tense, stressed, or just worn out. My restorative and relaxation massage sessions are designed to help you slow down, release built-up tension, and reconnect with your body.

Whether you’re carrying stress in your shoulders, neck, or back, or simply need some calm time for yourself, these massages will leave you feeling lighter, calmer, and fully recharged.

Give yourself the gift of time and care — because you deserve to feel restored and refreshed.

Although for anyone with Mental Health it means you might be suffering it day to day, it is important to have a day where the profile is elevated. I have struggled with depression and anxiety in the past and now use mindfulness and exercise to manage these.🤸 That is one of the reasons I am passionate about exercise! If you are struggling, please do reach out to someone and share. There is lots of help and support out there to help you get to a more positive place and live a better life. 😊If you are my friend and want to chat, please just text. Jil 💕
