This photo is a throwback (note the hair! 😄) to when I ran a group retreat at Asha in 2021.

I’ve actually been part of the Asha community for 15 years, and offering workshops and retreats there for almost a decade (since 2017). A lot has changed since then.
But… a lot has stayed the same. 😊

The theme of my work is still health and wellness. And / (which I’m explaining in this photo!) remain a big part of what I teach.

Right now I’m not running group retreats, and I don’t have plans to (though of course… things can change 😉) but I AM offering solo retreats.

While this is a new offering for me at Asha, I’ve actually been running 1:1 retreats for many years from the Cosmic Teapot cabin, in the mindfulness garden behind my home.

But truthfully… Asha is the perfect place for this work. 🌿
The grounds are peaceful and beautiful.
My treatment cabin there is lovely.
The bedrooms are luxurious.
And it’s just a short walk to St Anthony’s Well.

I have a few upcoming dates available for solo retreats ( 6/4, 18/5, 15/6) but get in touch to discuss dates that work for you. 🙏

So whilst some of you will have seen many pivots and shifts as I’ve evolved the work… there are also many constants from the past 15–20 years.

In particular my commitment to helping people optimise their health and wellbeing.

Right now that's through:
✨ Treatments and retreats
✨ Training in Traditional Chinese Medicine and workplace wellness
✨ Coaching
✨ And writing THE BOOK

For those who have asked… yes, the book is still very much ongoing. My first-choice agent has until the end of March to confirm next steps. After that things should become clearer. I’ll keep you in the loop.

If you’d like updates as soon as they land, send me your email address and we’ll add you to the news list!

Feeling very grateful today. ❤️

The day before yesterday was the first day of my TCM & Meridian System training, and it honestly couldn’t have gone more beautifully.

When I decide to create something like a course or a retreat, I never actually know who will come. I believe strongly in the power of intention and following your instinct… but still, you never know who will hear the call.

And yesterday, eight wonderful people showed up.

Five of them were completely new to me. People who have perhaps been following along on social media for a while… reading the words, watching the videos… and deciding to trust that what I’m sharing might be worth their time and energy.

This course is a five-part commitment.
A real investment of time, attention and money.

So I don’t take that lightly.

One participant even travelled all the way from Leeds, which turned into a five-and-a-half-hour journey the night before. That kind of commitment really humbles me.

It reminds me that when something sparks curiosity or excitement in us… there’s usually a reason.

I’m a big believer in following that spark. If something lights you up, lean towards it.

Yesterday, we explored the foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the fascia system, the meridian network, and the framework I’ve developed to make sense of it all in a practical and memorable way.

The energy in the room was just gorgeous. The setting at the Asha Centre was stunning. My mum created amazing food. Rob was there helping things run smoothly.

So much to feel grateful for.

And the feedback that came in afterwards truly meant the world:

✨ “I’m so glad I signed up… I know this course will help hugely.”
✨ “This has been the best training I’ve ever attended. I can’t wait for the next one!”

Thank you to everyone who trusted the instinct that said, “I think I need to be there.”

You made the first day something really special. 🙏 More to come over the next four sessions…

05/03/2026

Over the years I’ve had many people say the same thing when working with them: “I wish I could just spend a few days working through this properly.”

Because sometimes one session isn’t enough. Sometimes the body needs time. Time to unwind patterns. Time to recalibrate.

That’s exactly why I created these Remedial Retreats at the Asha Centre.
It’s focused, hands-on, deeply restorative work rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupressure and acumassage, combined with rest, nourishing food, nature, and space to actually let the body settle.

Each retreat is completely personal and one-to-one.
✨ Two tailored treatment sessions with me each day
✨ 2–4 night stays in the beautiful Asha Centre
✨ Forest walks, quiet space and time to integrate
✨ Optional mindfulness, coaching or energy work

The work is physical, practical and targeted. Helping the body move from pain and dysfunction towards balance again.

People come with all sorts of things:
chronic pain, fatigue, stress, recovery from illness or surgery, or simply that deep sense that something in the body needs attention.

Mid-week retreats are now open with the next dates 6–10 April.

If you’ve been feeling that pull for a proper reset… this may be exactly what your body has been asking for.

Feel free to message me if you’d like to talk it through. 💬

What’s all the fuss about fascia? 🤔

It’s the internal, skin-like web that wraps your muscles, covers your organs, and connects your entire body from head to toe.

It isn’t just packaging. After trauma, surgery or injury, fascia can hold up to 2,000 psi of tension. That’s serious pressure sitting in soft tissue.🧬

And this is where it gets interesting… your meridians travel through it.
So if fascia tightens, locks or twists, it can affect far more than just mobility. I’ve written a blog breaking it down clearly and simply.

If you’ve ever wondered why everything in the body seems connected… this is why.
Read more via the link 👇.

I also unpack this far more fully in my soon-to-be-published book, where Traditional Chinese Medicine, fascia and the meridian system form the backbone of the work. 📖

Spring light. 🌤️

I’ve been reflecting these past few weeks. As the season starts to turn. As the light lingers a little longer in the sky.

On where I’ve come from.
And where I’m headed.

It’s never linear, is it?

There have been a lot of changes over the past couple of years. Some chosen. Some not. Some that felt expansive. Some that felt like contraction.

But right now… I feel settled.

Not static. Not finished.
Just aligned.

I feel like I’m finding my feet. My voice. My pace.

And that feels quietly powerful.

The path is winding. Sometimes we meet obstacles. Sometimes things we felt certain were meant for us begin to fade. And sometimes what looked like a detour turns out to be exactly the direction we needed.

“This too shall pass” applies at every point in life.
The lows.
And the highs.

So I’m counting my blessings, but not my eggs. 🌈☁️
Grateful for what has been.
Open to what is unfolding.
Trusting what is coming.

The rainbows and the clouds.
All at the same time.

🌿✨

Wow. 🤍

First day open at Asha… and it was AMAZING.

Just one client as we ease into the way of things here, but exactly the person this was created for.

Someone who works long hours during the week. Someone who simply couldn’t get to my Cosmic Teapot Cabin in Cinderford (weekdays only). He used to come regularly, but when I stopped offering evenings and weekends from home, to let our family space breathe again, it just wasn’t workable.

And yesterday… it was.

He’s already booked in again at Asha. 🙌
And I have another regular starting there monthly too.

This is why we listen to nudges.

PLUS… retreat bookings are starting to come in as well. I’m offering a 5-hour block booking for retreat organisers, and Asha are fully booked at weekends for retreats right through to 2027 😮✨

It feels like the right service, in the right place, at the right time.

And I LOVED working from the space for the first time.

As you can see… it’s just stunning. 🌿
Tranquil. Peaceful. Beautifully held.

It feels healing before the treatment even starts.

I’m genuinely looking forward to offering this much-needed service at Asha over the coming weeks.

New chapter. Same heart. ❤️

I’m going to be talking more about the other things that are important for our health and wellness… but one of them is definitely having fun! And more specifically socialising with people outside of your family to share happy times, and for companionship when things aren’t so great.

I LOVE dressing up, and I am so glad to be part of a great group of local friends who ALSO love to dress up and shake their b***y on a dancefloor or two. My next fabulous frolicking fun has a PEACOCK theme!!! HOW FUN!!! I can’t wait!! And am already LOVING putting my outfit together (no spoilers here 😉, this photo is from another get together, but there might be a peacock photo in due course!! 😃).

I am SOOO grateful for my friends. For the fun and laughter. For the shared times. For the listening ears, and the outstretched arms. And I am SOOO grateful for the ones that host parties, and invite me places, especially ones where I can dress up, and dance, dance, dance! 💃

So whilst I can guarantee you some particular people from this wider group will be named individually in due course as part of this series ( !), for now I want to name my gratitude for the collective, and for community itself. The swarm, the tribe, the pack.

Mine has shifted and changed many times as I’ve been quite nomadic in my life. I’ve travelled to over 55 countries, and lived in over 20 different places in the UK, from Brighton to Leeds, and mid Wales to Romford.

But right now I feel very much at home. In the Forest of Dean. The heart chakra of the World (the whole of Avalon being in that Vortex). Surrounded by some absolutely incredible people I’m so, so lucky to call my friends. ❤

Sometimes I forget to share these… and then I re-read them and think…
“Oh. Yes. This is why I do this.” 🥹✨

Whether I’m coaching, training, or mapping Meridians on a treatment couch… what I care about most is understanding that actually hits.

Understanding that shifts something.
Understanding that people can actually use.

Real grasp. Real insight. Real change. 🔥

And when someone takes the time to say this afterwards… it means more than they probably realise. 💛

Here are a few words from people I’ve worked with recently- thank you, I appreciate YOU!!!

The second from the Fire element today 🔥 the Small Intestine Meridian. Highly relevant in this year of the Fire Horse.

Small Intestine is YANG (an empty, pale bag organ).
It is paired with the Heart (its Yin solid organ partner), and together they represent FIRE element within the Five Element system ❤️🔥

In this first series, I’m detailing the locations of the Twelve Main Meridians, and the significant / most commonly used points on them, because once you can SEE the map, you can actually USE the map.

In this video I show you:�
✔️ where it starts�
✔️ where it ends�
✔️ the ROUGH route between
✔️ the main points most commonly used in practice

For self-helpers, this provides a practical and structured way into understanding patterns in your own body. Start noticing. Start connecting the dots. 💡

The Small Intestine Meridian is associated with:�
• occipital and scapula disorders�
• sore throat�
• deafness�
• lower abdominal pain�
• small bowel colic�
• mental illness�
• repressed emotions�
• arrogance�
• tongue issues�
• and our sense of touch

In TCM, Small Intestine is about sorting, separating the clear from the unclear. Physically and emotionally. What stays. What goes.
More of the Yang set to follow… and once complete, the full collection of all 12 Meridians will be available on my YouTube channel. 🎥

A client came to me with a persistent cold and constant coughing that hadn’t resolved for weeks. She was pretty desperate by the time she arrived.

I worked her lung meridian, including the Lung Mu point, and the Mu points from the other meridians in the same functional grouping.

She’d had a flu jab in her arm several weeks previously. I released very tight fascia around the injection site 💉

She left my cabin no longer coughing, colour back in her cheeks, feeling 'normal' for the first time in weeks. Within six hours, all symptoms had completely gone.

Western doctors had done what they could. But Traditional Chinese Medicine looks at patterns and flow differently. And sometimes that different view is what shifts things 😃

For the full case study, read my blog.👇

STOP. Before you scroll. ✋
Give me 90 seconds. ⏳
This isn’t aesthetic water footage.�This is nervous system training… and it also happens to be beautiful too 🌊✨

When you hold your attention on one steady, calm thing, the stress circuitry in the brain begins to settle. The amygdala reduces its alarm response. Cortisol starts to drop. Your body shifts from fight-or-flight toward regulation. 🧠

And it doesn’t take an hour. It takes about 90 seconds of sustained focus.
So don’t overthink this.�
Watch the water. 🌊�Track the movement.�Notice your breath. 🌬️�Notice how quickly your mind tries to leave.
And then come back.

That returning, that repetition, is the work.
Do this regularly and you build something powerful:
* less reactivity
* more steadiness
* more choice in how you respond
Stay for the full 90 seconds.�Let your physiology catch up with you. 🌿

Traditional Chinese Medicine is amazing. But complicated! I didn’t create this course to add more theory to the world.

I created it because I kept meeting brilliant practitioners who sensed that the meridians matter… but couldn’t quite hold the system clearly enough to use it with confidence.

And I remember that feeling myself.

So I built the structure I wish I’d had.

Demystifying TCM & the Meridian System
Five full in-person days
First Wednesdays, March–July
ASHA Centre, Forest of Dean

This is practitioner-level.
But it’s intentionally simple.

We work through the Twelve Main Meridians using my Four Functions Framework- so you’re not memorising disconnected points… you’re understanding the system as a coherent whole.

By the end, you’ll:
✔️ Know where all 12 Meridians start and end
✔️ Understand the main points and what they’re used for
✔️ Be able to use acupressure and acumassage techniques straight away
✔️ Hold the structure confidently in practice

Maximum 9 places.
This first cohort will also receive a CPD certificate and be listed on my website for referrals.

If you’ve been feeling the nudge… trust it.

Details via my website or see more in the comments.
DM me if you’d like to talk it through. 🌿✨
