🌸 Returning to Stillness - Part 2/4
✨ I Lost My Soul on the Heysen Trail ✨

Day 2 of the silent retreat with Empowered Academy and our crew (silently) agreed to hike part of the Heysen Trail.

With my car full of new, beautiful and decidedly quiet friends I started the drive without my usual questionable music blasting. In addition to allowing time for introspection and appreciation for the beautiful views, it also highlighted just how squeaky my bloody clutch is. Clearly it didn’t get the silent retreat memo. Must fix that…

We arrived at our destination and began our descent down a stunning track along the coast. I truly did appreciate how walking in silence allowed for a deeper appreciation of nature.

🌊 The mesmerising blend of turquoise water merging with white wash as waves crashed relentlessly against the rocks below, hills rolling down to meet the ocean, a single farmhouse perched on a cliff with its own secret beach path. (Mental note: find out if that place is for sale…)

All things I may not have noticed if I’d been talking to the people around me.

But about halfway into the hike something started to feel off…

🥾 I looked down to see the sole of my shoe flapping around, reminding me of the last hike I went on when a friend told me I should fix that before it got any worse (anyone else seeing a pattern here? 🤦‍♀️). And every step I took made me realise it was impossible to continue like this.

So I let the group pass, plonked myself on a rock, and attempted to silently MacGyver myself a solution.

As I sat there contemplating my limited options I realised this wasn’t something I could fix. I decided the best way forward was to rip the sole right off, dust myself off and hike again (or whatever Aaliyah said), clutching what felt like a part of my soul in my hand as I went.

Upon reaching the group I tried to silently reenact what had happened. It’s moments like this that make me wish I’d chosen interpretive dance over Irish dancing when I was a kid. In my defence, Michael Flatley was all the rage back then.

Luckily we were turning back soon. As we prepared to head back our fearless leader Ben asked if anyone needed help carrying something, the look on his face when I handed him my sole… priceless! 😂

I spent the rest of the trek back silently laughing to myself. I could have chosen to get annoyed or frustrated but instead I chose to see the funny side and simply focused on putting one foot in front of the other.

Back at the retreat, I finally accepted the truth: these shoes couldn’t be saved. After 20 years of adventures around the world - it was time to let them go.

🤔 And it got me thinking. In the months leading up to the retreat I had:

⚡️ Lost my job
⚡️ Lost my housemate
⚡️ Nearly lost my home
⚡️ Let go of people I care about
⚡️ Said goodbye to my beautiful cat

So saying goodbye to my dear old hiking shoes was just one more farewell in a long list of things I’ve been letting go lately.

And sometimes, letting go is exactly what we need. Even if we can’t see it at that moment.

Because releasing what’s run its course is the only way to make space for something new.

So I’ll leave you with this:

🦋 What’s something in your life right now you’re being called to let go of?
🦋 Is letting go something you’re resisting, or ready to accept?
🦋 And if you did let go, what space could that open up for something new?

Drop an emoji below to represent what you’re letting go of - and remember: if you can get through the letting go process without losing your soul (or your sole) you’re probably doing better than you think. 💖🌸

🌸 Returning to Stillness - Part 1/4
What Are You Really Afraid Of?

Recently I went on my first ever silent retreat, run by my good friends at Empowered Academy. Over the coming days I’ll be sharing some of what unfolded on this short but epic journey.

This silent retreat meant no…
❌ Talking
❌ Eye contact
❌ Physical touch
❌ Technology
❌ Reading
❌ Vigorous exercise

They also removed all clocks so we had no real idea of time, which was an experience in itself. For those of you familiar with my lack of punctuality… you can imagine how well that went! 😂

I‘ll be honest. Based on how my week was going I was quite happy to switch off my phone and hand it over until the retreat was done. The idea of not being constantly ‘on’ sounded blissful (still does 😉). So rather than approaching this experience from a place of fear, I chose curiosity instead.

So if I wasn’t scared of silence or stillness… What was I afraid of?

I’m getting to that.

🎨 First, let me paint a picture…

It’s the first night of the retreat. Everyone’s in bed. But being a night owl I chose to go outside to look at the stars. I walked to the edge of the lawn which was framed by a group of shrub-like plants.

Standing there I became lost in the sounds of nature. A nearby trickling stream, crickets chirping to my right, cows mooing to my left. I crouched down into a low yogi squat as I pressed my hands into the earth, grounding myself into this space. I lost all sense of time as I finally relaxed, holding this squat for who even knows how long!

But then…

😨 HISSSSSSS.

My meditative squat (who knew there was such a thing) was abruptly cut short by what sounded like a vicious and ferocious animal making hissing noises close by.

Instantly I jumped up, bolted back to the house like my life depended on it (just in case this ferocious animal decided to chase me), locked the door and went to bed in a very un-meditative state wondering what the hell just happened.

The next morning came and I couldn’t tell anyone (silent retreat problems 🤫). So instead I sat with this perplexing and slightly terrifying experience, wondering what on earth was that?

That night, I went back out. Curious to see if I would hear that sound again. I sat patiently on the deck (seemed like a safer option 😜) and waited.

Eventually I heard that same sound.

And that’s when I realised what it was…

It was the damn sprinkler system turning on to water those same shrubs I’d been meditating near.

Yep. The thing I was most afraid of…was a bloody sprinkler. 🤦‍♀️😂

And still… I couldn’t tell anyone about it!

But here's the thing: it got me thinking…

✨ What if the thing we fear isn’t actually that scary?
✨ What if the fear of feeling afraid is scarier than the thing itself?
✨ What if we let ourselves feel fear, then got curious about it?

Because sometimes, the monsters we’re running from are really just sprinklers in disguise.

👉 Tell me - was there a time you were scared of something that turned out to be nothing at all? If yes, drop me your best sprinkler-looking emoji or GIF below 👇

✨ Hey beautiful souls, I need your input! ✨

For those who don’t know me yet - I’m Jess, the human behind HEAL with Jess.

I’m an Embodiment & Transformational Coach, and I help people release old emotions, regulate their nervous system, and reconnect with themselves through yoga, breathwork, NLP, hypnotherapy, psychosomatic therapy and energy healing.

The word HEAL in HEAL with Jess isn’t just a name - it’s an acronym that represents my mission and philosophy:

🌸 Harmonise
🌸 Empower
🌸 Awaken
🌸 Live

I’m in the process of creating my new business cards, and I’d love your feedback 🙏

I’ve designed two versions for the front side of the card - one in Title Case (Heal with Jess) and one in ALL CAPS (HEAL WITH JESS).

The back side of the card is included just for reference - the main question is about the front style.

👉 Which version do you prefer:
1️⃣ Title Case
2️⃣ ALL CAPS

Your input will help me choose the final design, so thank you in advance! 💖🌸

🌸 Hey legends, I’m Jess - the human behind HEAL with Jess 🌸

If you’re new here - welcome! 😍

And if you’ve been around a while, consider this a little reintroduction (because we’re always evolving, right?).

I help people untangle the stress, emotions and patterns that weigh them down - so they can feel lighter, calmer, more energised, and actually excited about life again.

My own journey into this work wasn’t glamorous (spoiler: no Bali retreat epiphany 🙃). In my 20s I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease, and life became less about “thriving” and more about “surviving.” I know what it’s like to feel betrayed by your own body, to live with pain that feels relentless, and to question whether things will ever get better.

That experience cracked me open - forcing me to find my own way of healing. Not the cookie-cutter kind, but the messy, creative, trial-and-error kind. And through it I discovered something powerful: that our bodies carry the stories, emotions, and unprocessed experiences that shape every part of how we show up. When we release that, everything changes.

✨ These days, my work is about helping people who are stuck in cycles of burnout, overwhelm, and old emotional baggage - to release, reset, and reconnect with themselves.

Here’s a taste of what I do:

💫 Emotional release + psychosomatic therapy (working with the body as much as the mind)
💫 Nervous system regulation (because calm is a superpower)
💫 Breathwork, yoga + meditation (individual + group sessions)
💫 NLP, Hypnotherapy + TimeLine Therapy (rewriting old beliefs + patterns)
💫 Energy healing + my signature Master Healing Sessions (where we weave it all together)

And because healing doesn’t have to be heavy and serious all the time… I’ll also probably make you laugh mid-session. Because sometimes the most powerful release is a belly laugh (or an awkward snort - no judgment).

🎵 Outside of my sessions I’m a musician, writer, beach addict, and firm believer that tacos are therapy. My happy place is by the ocean with sand in my hair, or jamming out to music that makes me feel alive.

🦋Whether you’re here because you want to release old emotions, manage burnout without burning yourself out further, or finally feel at home in your own body - you’re in the right place.

Stick around for tools, insights, workshops and the occasional bad joke that somehow still lands.

And if you’ve read this far - hi 👋 drop me an emoji that matches your current vibe. I’d love to know who’s here! 💖🌸
