There comes a point where you can feel it…

The tiredness that sleep doesn’t fix.
The constant doing.
The quiet overwhelm sitting just beneath the surface.

Holding everything together.
For everyone else.
All the time.

Maybe you’re not unmotivated.

Maybe you’re just… carrying too much.
The Full Moon invites you to pause and ask:

What am I holding onto that I’m ready to put down?

The pressure?
The expectations?
The version of you that just keeps pushing through?

This retreat was created for the woman who feels this.
The one who knows she can’t keep going at the same pace…
but doesn’t quite know how to slow down.

The one who is craving space — not just physically, but emotionally.
The one who is ready to feel like herself again.
This is the work we’ll be doing together in September.

Letting go.
Softening.
Regulating your nervous system.
Reconnecting with your body.
Being held in a space where you don’t have to be “on”.
Imagine yourself here…

Waking up slowly, surrounded by nature.
Moving your body without pressure.
Eating nourishing food prepared for you.
Sitting by the fire in the evening, feeling lighter.
Breathing deeper than you have in months.

There are now just three spaces remaining.
If something in you is reading this and feeling it…

You don’t need to explain it.
Just listen.

Message me “EQUINOX” and I’ll send you the details 🤍

🌿 EQUINOX: RETURN TO SELF RETREAT 🌿
21–23 September | Wales

There’s something about this moment…

The shift in season.
The soft turning inward.
The quiet knowing that it’s time to slow down.

And maybe you’ve been feeling it too.

⸻

This retreat wasn’t created to escape life —
it was created to return to it differently.

To step away from the constant doing…
and reconnect with yourself in a way that feels calm, grounded, and real.

A weekend held in nature, where everything is taken care of for you.

Where your days look like:

Morning movement and breath
Nourishing food prepared with care
Time to walk, to rest, to just be
Sauna, cold water, and deep release
Evenings by the fire, soft connection
A floating sound bath to completely unwind

A space where your nervous system can finally exhale.

⸻

We’re now 80% full — with just 4 spaces remaining.

And I can already feel how special this group is going to be.

Before this opens more widely, I wanted to share it here — for those who feel that quiet pull.

⸻

If something in you is reading this and thinking
“I need this…”

Don’t overthink it.

Just start the conversation.

Message me “EQUINOX” and I’ll send you everything you need 🤍

⸻

This isn’t about being ready.

It’s about being willing to choose yourself.

Last night we softened into something really special 🤍

A space where sound and skin came together…
deeply restorative facials, layered with the frequencies of crystal bowls.

And what unfolded wasn’t one shared experience…
it was eight completely different journeys.

Some bodies dropped straight into deep rest.
Some felt waves of heat… others coolness.
Some felt light, almost floating… others heavy, grounded into the earth.

For some, the mind quietened.
For others, it got louder before it softened.
That internal voice saying “get out, get out”…
that’s not something going wrong —
that’s your nervous system being invited into something unfamiliar.

And that’s the work.

The bowls carry high frequencies… and when the body has been sitting in a lower, more stressed state for a long time, that shift can feel intense at first.

But often… it’s in that moment of discomfort
that something begins to move.

Because your body is always communicating with you.

In a world that’s constantly loud, fast, and overstimulating…
those signals get missed.

Spaces like this bring you back into that connection.
Back into your body.
Back into yourself.

I felt so grateful to hold that space last night alongside — to witness 8 women choosing themselves, trusting the process, and allowing whatever needed to come up… to come up.

That’s not surface level rest.
That’s something deeper.

We do have 2 spaces left for this Sunday if you feel the pull to experience it for yourself 🤍

Back-to-back session tonight .cube … 12 souls booked in to step into a space for one thing — deep rest 🤍

And that’s exactly what unfolded.

Bodies softening.
Nervous systems downshifting.
Guests drifting into sleep… some even snoring as their system finally let go.

But what always moves me the most isn’t just the rest… it’s the process people move through to get there.

One guest shared that at the beginning, her breath felt restricted in the salt chamber. Her body felt uncomfortable, unsure. But instead of leaving, she stayed… gently working through it… until she found a place of calm.

That moment right there — that’s the work.

Another felt heaviness moving through her body with the sound. Another, completely new to sound healing, noticed the mind chatter… but also discovered she could keep returning to a place of peace.

And that’s the part I wish more people understood…

Peace isn’t something you either have or don’t have.
It’s something your body can return to — again and again.

At the beginning of the session, I pulled a card from Oracle Deck… and it spoke about the many masks we wear.

And it couldn’t have been more aligned.

Because over time, we build layers.
Versions of ourselves shaped by expectations, pressure, survival, roles we’ve had to play.

We become who we need to be…
until we forget who we actually are underneath it all.

Spaces like this aren’t about becoming someone new.

They’re about gently peeling back those layers.
Letting the body soften.
Letting the masks drop, even just for a moment.

So you can come home to yourself again.

It is never lost — just waiting underneath the noise.

I will never take for granted the trust it takes for someone to step into this space and go within.

It’s an honour to witness it, every single time 🤍

If you’ve been wondering what the day actually looks like… this is a little glimpse 🤍

It’s not rushed, and it’s not overwhelming.
Everything has been created to feel slow, supportive, and gently guided from beginning to end.

From the moment you arrive, you’re given space to land — to step out of your day-to-day life and into something quieter.

The ceremony itself is held with deep care and experience, and you are never pushed into anything. This is really important.
You are always invited, never expected.

And just as important as the ceremony… is what comes after.
The sound healing, the stillness, the time in nature — all there to help your body integrate whatever it needs to.

This day is about creating space.
Space to feel, to release, to reconnect — in a way that feels safe and supported.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence, unsure what to expect… I hope this helps you feel into it a little more.

And if you have any questions at all, you’re always welcome to message me 🤍

I know a lot of you are feeling curious about this retreat… but also a little unsure and I really want to meet you in that, with honesty and care. This isn’t something surface-level. It’s not a trend, and it’s not something we’re approaching lightly.

The ceremonial elements of this day come from traditional Amazonian practices that have been used for generations — and they are being held with deep respect, integrity, and the right guidance.

The ceremony itself will be led by an experienced practitioner with a background in psychology and biomedical science, who has spent years living and studying with indigenous communities in the Amazon.
This is something she holds with real depth, care, and responsibility.

My role within the day is to support you through sound, grounding, and integration — creating a space where you can gently process, soften, and come back into yourself safely.

Alongside the ceremony, we’ll move through somatic practices, a deeply restorative sound healing journey, time on the land, and we’ll also be working with cacao — a heart-opening plant medicine traditionally used to support connection, emotional openness, and grounding.

Everything about this day has been intentionally woven together. Not to overwhelm you — but to support you.

This is a space where:
• nothing is forced
• everything is invitational
• and you are met exactly where you are

If you’d like to talk it through, ask questions, or just feel into whether it’s right for you — you’re so welcome to message me or directly🤍

So many women I speak to right now are exhausted… but not just physically.

It’s emotional exhaustion.
Mental overload.
Hormones that feel unpredictable.
A nervous system that never fully switches off.

And what I notice again and again is this…

They’re not lacking discipline.
They’re not doing anything “wrong”.

They’re trying to live in a way that their body was never designed for.

We’ve been conditioned into a 24-hour, productivity-led cycle — wake up, push through, stay switched on, keep going — when the female body actually operates on a much slower, more cyclical rhythm.

Hormones shift week to week.
Energy isn’t linear.
Your capacity changes.

But instead of honouring that, most women override it.

You push through the fatigue.
Ignore the emotional signals.
Run on caffeine, adrenaline, and “I’ll rest later”.

And over time, your nervous system starts to stay in a low-level stress response… which is where the overwhelm, the burnout, the mood swings and the “I don’t feel like myself” really begin.

This is why rest feels so far away.

Not because you don’t have time…
but because your body doesn’t feel safe enough to fully receive it.

Learning to tune into what your body actually needs — rather than what the world is telling you to do — changes everything.

It’s not about doing more.
It’s about understanding yourself on a deeper level.

This is the work we go into inside The ‘Rest & Rise’ Club —
the nervous system, the hormonal rhythms, the patterns so many women are stuck in without realising.

The kind of understanding that makes you stop and think,
“oh… that’s why I feel like this.”

If you’ve been feeling the pull to slow down, to understand your body, to come back to yourself a little more…

You’re not imagining it 🤍

Come and explore it with us, link in bio 🙏🏻✨🪽

Almost a year ago, I took a leap. I’d not long lost my father, and with that loss a version of me quietly fell away too. But at the same time, there was this fire burning inside me — something pulling me forward, asking me to create, to heal, to begin again.

Around that time, I crossed paths with an incredible soul. What started as a simple conversation slowly grew into a deep friendship — two people connecting over healing, growth, safe spaces, and our own journeys through grief and transformation. Over the months we kept coming back to the same feeling… that there was something we both wanted to create, not just for ourselves, but for others walking a similar path.

And about a month ago, we both said yes. We stopped talking about it and started building the space we’d been imagining — a place for rest, for healing, for coming home to yourself.

Now, after so much love, care and intention poured into it… it’s almost ready to share.
And it will be released privately inside my community first 🤍

If you feel the pull, the link is in my bio.
Or comment below and I’ll send it to you personally.
