This morning at VL HQ we have embarked on our autumn reset. The day began with a very early moonlit walk and then an opening zoom session with some breathwork and movement to increase lymphatic flow and bring circulation to the kidneys and liver.

Breakfast today is a berry smoothie bowl and lunch a carrot , sugar snap pea and corinader salad with sesame seeds and a delicious dressing combining tamari , maple syrup , cumin, garlic , olive oil and lime 🪷🪷🪷

Let me reintroduce myself 🦩 ( felt like snoop dog then 🤣) I’ve just been chatting to a friend of mine on WhatsApp and I said I sometimes feel like an actress that only receives a certain genre of clients ( I appreciate you all btw) but there is much more to me than just massage but this is what I am most associated with.

I am a deep practioner of yoga spanning nearly 20 years. My passion is breathwork and I LOVE holding space for one to one’s and transformative work as well as monthly breath circles.

I adore holding space for reiki treatments and can also combine this with Sound Bowl healing and tuning forks as well as castor oil packing to help cleanse and detox the body.

When the world shut down in 2020 I embarked on a Naturopathic diploma which I completed in 2022 and run regular cleanses and resets in an online group container as well as one to one consults.

And finally my monthly and pop up restorative, free movement and breath yoga classes are a combination of everything I LOVE about yoga , letting go of rigidity through breath, slow stretching and dance.

Oh and finally finally I’m a tropic ambassador and sell the most deliciously natural products.

Are you curious about reiki ? For the WHOLE of September I’m offering taster sessions for just £25 for 40 minutes including the healing vibrations of the Tibetan singing bowl.

Reiki is a deeply relaxing and cleansing treatment and my absolute fave. The gentleness of it allows you to drop inwards and release held tension and blockages.

Come and give it a try and experience this beautiful modality. DM me or comment YES for more information and how to book 💜

Nurturing your roots 🌳just a few spaces left for the next breath circle on 7th August where we shall do exactly that as we transition into the earth element season ( late summer ). Earth season is all about tending to our roots as the Yang energy begins to slowly tune down. It’s about grounding. Yang energy is super heightened and can bring a sense of overwhelm to some. During the circle we begin with a body awareness practice and then we begin to connect consciously with our breath moving from a subtle space to a more dynamic breath technique which supports clearing of stagnation from the body. We end with a meditation and a sweet treat which supports this season 😄❤️🍄🌻DM me if you would like to nab one of those spaces 🙌🏼

Card of the day and the change will be a slow yoga session tonight rather than the one I had planned due to the heat. Soothing , flowing and plenty of stillness and breathing 😄😎🌻

Just returned from a solo retreat near Glastonbury. The land there holds such powerful, activating energy. The town itself, though, feels like it’s taken on a bit of an edgier vibe. I stayed in an off-grid woodland cottage near Butleigh—no neighbours in sight. At times, the solitude felt a little eerie.

Retreats have a way of revealing parts of ourselves we might not otherwise notice. Since my 10-day silent retreat in Norway last year, I’ve been on a deep journey of release and reflection. It’s been a gradual unfolding—an awakening to the fullness of who I am. Each inward retreat is a return to authenticity. And that path isn’t always comfortable, nor is it necessarily graceful. But imagine holding all that unprocessed emotion in the body—what toll that takes over time.

There’s something deeply nourishing about letting it rise and move through. It might seem unusual or even messy, but for me, it all comes down to trust—trusting the process, trusting myself. So as I drum, anoint my arms with tansy oil, and press my feet into the soil, I remind myself: this is exactly how it’s meant to unfold. It hasn’t always felt peaceful, but every part of it is growth.

If you would like to experience a somatic therapy treatment to feel into your body then send me a DM 🌺🥁💃🏽🪷

Back in 2010, I stepped into a softly lit room tucked within the old walls of Southampton to begin my Reiki journey with the wonderful . At the time, I couldn’t quite grasp how channeling energy could trigger healing across the body, mind, and soul—but I was (mostly) open to the experience.

During my Reiki 1 attunement, I was completely taken aback by the sensations I felt, especially around my head. I genuinely thought I might fall off the chair—I had to hold on tight! A few days later, my body went through a deep cleanse, which came out in the form of a heavy cold. Wild, right? But it’s common for the body to release and shift things after an attunement.

From that moment, I felt more connected—to life, to the moon cycles, and to the stars. I’ve always been sensitive to other people’s energy, but Reiki seemed to activate something even deeper within me.

This year, I’m offering you the chance to be attuned to Reiki energy yourself. It’s truly one of the most beautiful healing modalities I’ve encountered, and I genuinely believe it’s enhanced my life—and the lives of my clients, many of whom find Reiki deeply calming and restorative.
