Your body has a way of revealing its secrets. Shall I tell you what I feel when you’re on my table?

I feel your energy. Your stories. The body’s armour. The masks and patterns you’ve learnt as ways to cope.

And I gently set about helping you feel safe enough to put some of that down. To soften. To find a bit of peace in your own body.

Maybe just for the hour you’re here. But I always hope something small takes root…
and comes with you into the rest of your week.

I’ve been so busy lately, with women of all ages and stages. And this is a language I am and have always been quietly fluent in …
reading, sensing, responding.

If you’re feeling the weight of it all, you’re always very welcome here. Come spend an hour with me and together we will remind your body it’s ok to let go 🤍

If you’ve been thinking “I should get out to something…” but also feel a bit overwhelmed by the idea — this is your sign.

These classes are really relaxed. No pressure, no expectations.

Your baby can cry, feed, sleep, need you the whole time — it’s all completely fine. Honestly, everyone else is in the same boat.

𝐌𝐮𝐦 & 𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐲 𝐘𝐨𝐠𝐚 🧘
A chance to move a bit, stretch out the aches, and feel a bit more like yourself again.

𝐁𝐚𝐛𝐲 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 🤲🏻
Simple techniques you can actually use at home — great for wind, sleep, and just slowing things down together.

It’s also just… nice to be in a room with other mums who get it.

No need to “have it together” to come along. That’s kind of the point 🤍

✨ Do you know someone who’s expecting a baby?

Please do let them know about my Pregnancy Yoga classes 🤍

They’re a calm, welcoming space to come each week to relax, ease those pregnancy aches, tune into body and baby, and learn genuinely useful skills for pregnancy, labour and birth — breathing, movement, comfort techniques, and ways to work with your body rather than against it.

But it’s not just about the yoga.

Many women tell me the classes become a real touchstone during pregnancy — a place where they feel understood, reassured, and supported. And the friendships that grow between mums-to-be often last well beyond the babies’ arrival (playdates, coffee dates, 3am message exchanges… all the important things).

Honestly, at this point it’s becoming slightly difficult to have a baby in Risborough and not know someone who’s come along 😄

If you have a friend, sister, colleague or neighbour expecting, feel free to pass this on…

✨ Baby Massage starting next week 🤍

If you have a newborn — or know someone who does — this is quite simply one of the loveliest things you can do together in those early weeks.

Baby massage isn’t just about learning strokes (though those are wonderful for wind, sleep and settling). It’s really about slowing everything down, building confidence with your baby, and having a calm, supportive space to just be together.

The class is gentle, unhurried and completely baby-led. Feeding, cuddling, changing, crying, sleeping — all of it is welcome. There is no expectation that babies will “behave,” and no pressure on you to do anything perfectly.

For many mums it becomes a little weekly anchor — somewhere warm, friendly and reassuring to come when the days can otherwise blur together.

My next course starts next week, and there are a few spaces available.

THURSDAYS 11.30am
PRINCES RISBOROUGH

✨ A little invitation ✨

… if winter has left you feeling tight, tired, or a bit braced against the world…

At this time of year I see so many women holding their breath without even realising it — shoulders up, nervous system on high alert, running on empty.

My seasonal retreats are designed to be the opposite of that.

They’re gentle, welcoming, and intentionally un-intimidating. No pressure to share more than you want to, no “performative wellness,” no expectation that you arrive calm or zen. You come exactly as you are.

We use simple, supportive practices — gentle movement, rest, guided relaxation, quiet reflection — all designed to help your nervous system settle into real, deep rest.

If winter has left you feeling worn down, stretched thin, or like you’ve been holding everything together for everyone else… this is exactly the kind of space that can help you reset.

You’d be so welcome.

✨ 𝑨 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒖𝒑𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒎𝒆…

My women’s work began right here — supporting new mums and babies as they find their feet together. And while I now also see women at all life stages (in my Seomra for massage, and through my seasonal retreats), my love for this early motherhood work — and my belief in how important it is — stays really strong.

There is something deeply sacred about those first weeks and months. The tiredness. The softness. The huge inner shifts no one really prepares you for.

My much loved
B A B Y M A S S A G E
classes are gentle, baby-led, and wonderfully welcoming — especially if you’ve never been to a class before. on’t need to have it all together. You just come as you are, with your baby, and we take it slow.

✨ The next block of classes ✨ starts soon, and booking is now open:

🌿 https://somasouluk.book.app/pass/customer?pass=eyJwYXNzIjp7ImlkIjozNzE5MX19

I also run Mum & Baby Yoga classes in tandem with these - the next block is filling fast but if you are interested in a spot, pop me a DM and I might be able to get your name down.

Whether you’re craving connection, gentle movement, nervous-system support, or simply a reason to leave the house — you’d be so welcome.

Yes. And this weekend absolutely hit like this.

I had the loveliest reunion with my uni girls — laughter, long walks, deep chats, and the soul-soothing feeling of being known again. 🤍

And then I came home… grateful, but weirdly wobbly. Not because anything is wrong. But I guess because some processing was needed.

For some of us, time isn’t linear - it’s layered. All the women you’ve been still feel close. And when you sit with old friends, reminiscing and reliving, it’s like holding the whole timeline in your hands at once.

I wrote about it on Substack — Old Streets, Old Friends, and the Grief that follows Joy. There’s a link in my bio, if this stirs something familiar for you.

This week’s weather was a perfect match for my nervous system’s behaviour 😅

The build.
The anticipation.
The bracing for the snowstorm…

…and then it basically didn’t happen.

Classic.

This is what a high-alert nervous system does.
It prepares. It scans. It braces.
It tries to protect by predicting.

Even when the “storm” never arrives.

But: one unexpected upside of a nervous system that feels everything deeply… is that it also doesn’t miss the beauty.

And what a showstopper of a week this was.
Sunrise after sunrise. White fields and hills all round. Awe on tap.

Maybe that’s the real regulation sometimes —
not forcing calm, but letting beauty interrupt the bracing.

👇 Did you have any little moments this week that soothed the anticipation — even briefly?
(And if this is your kind of stress, share this with someone who carries more too.)

PS: I’ll share what my nervous system was most bracing for this week over on stories — in case yours does the same.

The weeks ahead look full — in the way that needs coffee and deep breaths.

This morning, a pause for this.

Steady on. You’re not alone.
🤍

03/01/2026

A weekly pause.
Warm hands.
Quiet movement.
Space to land together.

Baby massage and mum & baby yoga, held gently and without expectation.
Just connection, presence, and support in an intense season of life.

Classes start back this week.

Three things I’ve done in past years that I’ve given myself grace not to do this year:
1. Matching Christmas clothes / PJs for the kids.
A big spend. A lot of organising.
This year? Last year’s favourites, hand-me-downs, charity shop finds — whatever they’re genuinely happy in.
Thankfully, they don’t have standards yet.
2. All the days out.
Pantomimes. Steam trains. Special trips stacked back-to-back.
They are lovely — but there’s a tipping point where pleasure quietly turns into pressure, and it’s easy to miss when you’re already tired.
3. The perfect meal.
We’ve kept it simple this year.
Fewer moving parts. Less proving.
I have a feeling we’ll savour the prep — and the togetherness around the table — all the more because of it.

Grace doesn’t always look like doing less because you’ve “given up.”
Sometimes it looks like choosing what actually lets you be present
