The sun was shining, the doors were open and sweet orange, orange blossom and peppermint filled the air.

We had yoga with Anna in the main studio, two reformer classes downstairs, and then Amelia and I had some teacher time on the reformer ourselves.

It’s so important that we get our own practice in too, and are able to spot for one another — working with correct form, pace, and finding that little bit extra.

Amazing to see everything coming together… slowly, but beautifully.

The loveliest way to start a weekend 🤍

Come and join us?

This week Llewelyn went away with friends for a long weekend and left me managing The Wells on my own…

I ask him all the time “what have you actually done all day?” and this week I had to do all the things he quietly does in the background 🤣

So I’ve decided all future holidays are cancelled and he’s never allowed to leave me again.

It’s great to have you back Griff!

When massage and movement come together, the treatment changes.

I’m not just thinking about relaxation, I’m thinking about space in the body… where things feel compressed, tight, heavy or held.

As you start to feel safe enough to let go, I’m working to open the joints, lengthen the muscles and help the body move more freely again.

It’s one of the reasons my massage style is influenced so much by Pilates and movement work.

This has been sitting with me for a while… I wasn’t sure whether to post something as I don’t want it to feel like an internet rant but more of an explanation.

If you’ve seen the post, you’ll know this isn’t about not giving. We do — often, and anonymously and usually personally so I don’t drain the business.

Sometimes I don’t think people always realise what they’re asking for.

A full body massage, a reformer class pack… these aren’t small things for a business like mine. They’re time, energy, and real cost.

And when those requests come from people who’ve never stepped through the door, it can feel a little out of balance.

I know most people are trying to do something good and raise money for causes that matter to them.

But if we want small businesses to keep giving and giving… they need to be supported too.

Booking a class, sharing what they do, recommending them — it all matters more than you think.

I think many local businesses may feel the same but I wanted you to know when we say no, it’s not just a no to you it’s a no to the 20-30 requests we have each month.

Yesterday our little admin team got together… partly to mark the end of a really hard season, and partly because something new might be on the horizon 👀

We ended up trying the new lunch menu at and honestly… it was gorgeous.

Food was lush, really good value, and the welcome just felt nice and genuine. Doors open, garden out the back… it was just a really lovely setting to sit and enjoy.

Big love for local places doing things well 🤍
We’ll definitely be back
