A perfect technique for when you’re feeling anxious or overwhelmed - simply wrapping your fingers around the thumb of your other hand can help to calm ☺️

How wonderful to be teaching a gentle yoga class on the morning of World Sleep Day!

Have you ever noticed that when you're tired - but not rested - that falling asleep can feel almost impossible? And that when you are rested, in body and mind, sleep arrives with so much more ease?

Every gentle yoga class includes a lovely long (guided relaxation) alongside soft movement and breathwork. While falling asleep isn't the intention, it does sometimes happen 😉

Reflexology can also be a lovely way to invite deep relaxation and prepare the body for easeful sleep - I have some spaces available from next week if you'd like to give it a try!

And...on my NYR Organic shop right now (and through to Sunday, while stocks last)...you'll receive a free Goodnight Pillow Mist with any order of £65 or more. A lovely addition to a peaceful bedtime ritual 💛

Introducing Rest and Reset — a space to help you soften, relax and renew.

It’s an invitation to pause, breathe, release, and feel supported. A quiet moment in the middle of everything, where nothing is asked of you and you can simply arrive as you are.

When you sign up - it's free! - you’ll receive a gentle email series that guides you through the essence of Rest and Reset — simple practices, reflections, and small ways to weave rest into your days. It’s designed to meet you where you are, and to help you build a softer rhythm over time.

You’ll also be invited to join my monthly online Yoga Nidra sessions — a deeply restorative practice that supports rest, regulation, and a sense of being held. These sessions are included for everyone in the Rest and Reset space.

If you’d like to explore whether this might support you, you’re welcome to take a look or reach out with any questions.

If you’ve seen the earlier posts in this series, you’ll know I’ve been creating calm, clear spaces for each area of my work. Today, I’m sharing a little more about the Women’s Wellbeing section of the site.

This is a gentle gathering place for the strands of my work that support women through different seasons of life — from rest and regulation to hormonal shifts, pregnancy, and the quieter transitions that often go unnamed.

Inside the women’s wellbeing pages, you’ll find:

✨ an overview of the approaches I offer, including reflexology, Jin Shin Jyutsu, breath coaching, and gentle yoga

✨ how these modalities can support hormonal balance, emotional steadiness, and deeper rest

✨ who this space may support — whether you’re navigating stress, perimenopause, pregnancy, or simply seeking a softer way to care for yourself

✨ a clear pathway into sessions, classes, and resources

You can read a spacious overview or explore the individual modalities in more detail — whatever feels most supportive for where you are.

And as always, if you have any questions or you’re wondering which approach might be right for you, just get in touch :)

The Sunfish story...

I started my journey into complementary therapies when I decided to train in reflexology after a period of ill-health, way back in 1995. A little later I came across Jin Shin Jyutsu finger holds in a Hand Reflexology text book and very soon after added that to my business. Around the same time I had begun practising yoga on a daily basis and came across Dru yoga, and started my 4 year training in North Wales in 2001 (although it ended up taking a little longer than 4 years as my son was born shortly before I would have completed my training so I took a bit of time out). Luckily I had already passed my initial teaching assessment so began teaching with a huge bump - and also did my Birthlight perinatal and postnatal training during my pregnancy too.

In the early years I didn’t have a business name as such, and it was only when I finally caught up with technology and launched my website that Sunfish Yoga and Therapy was born. I’m often asked ‘Why Sunfish?’ and it just came to me on a sleepless night shortly before my website was due to go live without a name! I was playing around in my mind with names of yoga practices and how they might work for the name - and Sunfish was born - a combination of Sun salutations (Surya namaskara being the Sanskrit name) and the gorgeous fish pose, both of which are enduring favourites of mine.

My first logo was also born in that same evening, as I sat and drew my ideas by hand - it wasn’t very professional, but it did the job for a year or two before I had my new logo professionally designed.

In 2017, after many years working as a mobile therapist and teaching my classes in church and village halls, and more than 20 years in my business, I opened my own studio in Wye. The Sunfish Yoga and Therapy studio in Church Street Wye is a dream come true....a calm and welcoming space in which to teach my classes and offer relaxing wellbeing treatments for my clients. I personally teach Dru yoga classes, suitable for all, prenatal and postnatal yoga classes for mums to be and new mums with their babies, and offer reflexology (feet, hands, ears, and facial options available) and Jin Shin Jyutsu in my tranquil treatment room. As the studio develops and the team has grown, we continue to offer more services - and in 2018 we have added Baby Massage Classes and Nutrition Consultations.
