I am so pleased to announce that our Stretch & Breathe sessions are restarting next week in a beautiful new venue at Saltford Hall.

These sessions are a dedicated hour for you to unwind. We combine deep stretching with intentional breathwork, set to chilled beats and under dim lights. It is a space designed for restoration - a quiet pause in the middle of the week where you can finally let go of the day.

Here's what class members say:

"It’s my dedicated 'me time' – a quiet pause where calm and stillness take over. I arrive knowing how much I need it, and leave feeling amazing, lighter, clearer, and completely grounded."

"Dave and I love that it’s something we can do together... Physically it helps his golf and my rowing, but it’s actually the mental wellbeing we get from the session that we love."

The Details:

When: Thursday evenings, 6.15pm – 7.05pm

Where: Wansdyke Room, Saltford Hall

The Atmosphere: Low lights, chilled music, and total relaxation.

This class is suitable for everyone - men and women, athletes and office workers. You always work at your own pace. There is no performance here, just an hour for you to reconnect with yourself.

Max 10 spaces available to keep the room peaceful and intimate.

Blocks of 6 weeks £51. Message me for more details.

I’ve spent a lot of time recently thinking about what to call my work and how to describe what actually happens in my therapy room or classes.

Whether you are on my massage couch, on a yoga mat in my stretch class, or practicing breathwork with me, I’ve realised that at heart, I am a Somatic Guide.

Most of us live our lives from the neck up. We are constantly thinking about our stress, managing our to-do lists, and coping with our schedules, but our bodies are the ones actually carrying the load.

"Somatic" simply means of the body. As a somatic guide, I don’t just look at where you are tight; I help you listen to what your nervous system is saying.

It’s taken me a long time to master the skill of noticing when my own jaw is clenched and releasing it, or noticing when my shoulders have crept up toward my ears and allowing them to drop. I’m not here to "fix" you, because you aren't broken. I’m here to help you find your way back to a state of calm using tools you already have: your breath, your sensation, and your presence.

I bring all my training together to support you in three ways:

On the massage couch: For when you are too exhausted to move, and your body just needs a safe space to remind it how to let go.

On the yoga mat: Where we use slow movement and breath to pause and find space in the midweek chaos.

Through breathwork: Where a simple rhythm of breathing can settle your nervous system and give you tools to manage the "busy" every single day.

I’m so excited to be deepening this work. I’m currently in the middle of my Reiki Master training and about to embark on more Breathwork teacher training so I can bring a truly unique toolkit to everything I do.

It’s a mad world we live in; let’s work together to find some safe ground in it.

A lot of my work is very simple. I help people move from feeling 'brittle' and 'braced' to feeling like they have space to breathe. Nothing dramatic. Just small changes that add up to more capacity to cope.

I’m moving away from just 'fixing knots' and toward helping you build a system that doesn't knot up in the first place.

I have something special coming for the group this Sunday..

For years, many of you have trusted me with your physical tension. We’ve spent hours in my lovely garden therapy room unknotting shoulders that are "up by your ears" and softening the "brittle" feeling in your backs.

I love that work. And I am still here for those regular sessions.

But I’ve been listening closely to what you tell me on the couch.

You tell me your brain won't stop whirring, even at 3 am. You tell me you feel "wired but exhausted" or like you’ve been holding your breath all day.

I’ve realised that while a massage helps you land for an hour, I want to give you the tools to stay grounded when you leave.

This is why I’m bringing Breathwork and Nervous System Capacity to the forefront of my practice.

I’m moving from just "fixing the tight spots" to teaching you how to change your internal state. It’s about moving out of that "quiet emergency" mode and back into yourself.

What stays the same:
My lovely garden therapy room remains your safe, low-friction space for Massage and Reiki. My regular clients are as welcome as ever.

What’s new:
I’ll be sharing more tools here to help you manage the "moments of chaos" between our sessions.

My focus is shifting toward Capacity - helping your body feel like a safe place to live again, not just a place that carries stress.

I am so grateful to be on this journey with you. If you’ve been feeling that "brittle" edge lately, let’s talk about how we can work on your capacity - on or off the couch.. 🤍🌬️

30-second reset if your head feels busy:

Sit back slightly. Unclench your jaw.
Let your tongue rest on the floor of your mouth.
Breathe normally for three breaths.

That is it.

P.S. I’ve been looking through 159 client records this week. The 'jaw-clench' is the #1 sign of a system that is bracing for impact. This tiny move is your first step to un-bracing.

Most people think they need more motivation.

What they usually need is less pressure on their nervous system.

When your body feels safer:
- focus improves
- sleep comes easier
- small tasks stop feeling enormous

Calm is not laziness.

It is capacity.

A gentle end-of-week reset.

Place one hand on your chest or belly.
Breathe naturally.
Notice the warmth of your hand.
No changing the breath.
Just noticing.

Have a lovely weekend 🤍

This is one of those collaborations that just feels right.

I’m joining Mariko and Aimee for their April retreat to guide the opening breathwork, and I honestly love how intentional this whole day is. No rushing. No fixing. Just space to settle your nervous system, move gently, be creative, eat well and properly rest.

I know how many women are running on empty right now. Days like this matter more than we admit.

Sharing Mariko’s post because the retreat is almost full and because it deserves to be. 👏👏

A lot of people think calm is something you either have or you don’t.

What I see in my work is different.

Calm is something the body can relearn when the breath is given the right conditions.

You don’t need to force relaxation or “do breathing perfectly”.

You need practices that help your nervous system feel safe enough to settle.

That’s the kind of breathwork I teach.

Stress is not just in your head

Stress lives in the body, often before we realise there’s a problem.

It can show up as a knot in your shoulders.
Tension that creeps up into your head.
That wired but exhausted feeling where you can’t fully switch off.

If you’re noticing those things, it’s usually because your nervous system has been overloaded for too long.

That’s why mindset alone often doesn’t touch it.

The body doesn’t need another instruction to calm down. It needs signals that it’s safe.

Breath is one of the simplest ways to send those signals. Not big breaths. Not forced ones. Just soft, slow, quiet breathing that tells the body it doesn’t need to stay on alert.

This work starts with awareness. Giving yourself the time to notice what’s happening in your body, not just in your head. And once you can notice it, you create the space to change it.

A small pause you can try today...

Breathe in through your nose.
Breathe out a little slower than the inhale.
Let your shoulders drop on the exhale.
Three breaths only.

That’s enough.

Calm is not something you earn

A lot of people feel like calm is something they get after everything is done. Once the to-do list is sorted, then they’ll have some time for themselves. Then they’ll relax. Then they’ll slow down.

Most people don’t realise they’re not breathing very well. They just know they’re tense, busy, and being told they need to relax more. So they push through and tell themselves they’ll deal with it later.

The trouble is, calm doesn’t arrive just because the day ends.

Calm comes when your nervous system feels safe.

When we’re stressed, busy, and living in that constant pushing-through mode, the nervous system stays on high alert. It’s doing its job. But we’re not giving it any signals that it’s safe to stand down. So calm always feels just out of reach.

That’s why breath matters so much.

When you use your breath deliberately and intentionally, you’re sending a message to your body and your mind that it’s safe. That it can slow down. That it can settle.

So instead of putting calm at the very end of your to-do list, maybe it belongs at the top. And the middle. So you’ve got enough fuel to actually get to the end of your day.
