Just a little note for you all while I'm gone 💜

✨️ I’ll be offline for the next two weeks while I rest and recharge, so I may not reply to any messages/emails until the evening of the 15th

✨️ Classes resume the week beginning March 16th; there are limited spaces left and you can still book on by heading to my website linked in the bio. (See the second picture for availability)

Thank you for giving me the space to pause — it means more than you know. 💜

Hi lovely families,

I just wanted to share a little update with you.

I've been battling burnout for a long time, but in the past few weeks, my body has told me "enough is enough". And as much as I care about showing up fully for you and your little ones, I know I can’t do that properly unless I take a moment to pause and look after myself too.
So I’m going to be taking a short two-week break from classes to rest and reset.

Classes will return the week beginning March 16th, and I’ll be back feeling more like myself again. There are limited spaces left on my classes when I return, and you can still book them while I'm gone, just head to my website in the bio.

This community means so much to me, and the repsonse I've had from those I've already told has been so compassionate. Thank you for always being so kind, supportive, and understanding.

If you’ve been feeling stretched lately too, I hope this can be a gentle reminder that it’s okay to slow down when you need to.

I’ll see you very soon

Much love, as always xx

💜 A gentle reminder for today:

You don’t need to entertain your baby.
You don’t need to stimulate every moment.
Your presence, your touch, your voice — that’s enough.

Some of the most powerful bonding happens in stillness 🤍

❤️ Hello February Babies ❤️

Are you having a February baby?
If so, I have a gift for you 🩵

February is full of magic and sparkle, and welcoming a new baby as we shift from winter to early spring is so special. It's also important to look after yourself when you have a newborn, so I have a little freebie to help you stay centered. 💕

You don't have to be local to me either, this is for parents anywhere!

🌱 Imbolc is Here 🌱

One of my favorite quiet turning points of the year—when the light begins to grow, even if winter still feels heavy.

If you’re a reading this, my wish for you today is softness.

I wish you moments of warmth when the days feel long.
I wish you permission to go slowly.
I wish you trust that you don’t need to be “in full bloom” yet.

Imbolc reminds us that tiny shifts matter. That rest is not laziness. That care—especially self-care—is meaningful work.

Traditionally, this season is about tending the hearth and nurturing small sparks. So I hope today brings you something simple and grounding: a deep breath, a warm drink, a sliver of daylight noticed, a moment of feeling “enough.”

Even if it doesn’t look like much from the outside, growth can be happening quietly beneath the surface. 🌱

I’m wishing you gentleness, light, and patience with yourself as the days slowly begin to brighten. 🤍

Much love, Julie 💜

Baby massage isn’t about doing it “right”

Looking forward to this tomorrow! 🤩

If you're in need of some support and guidance pop along, there will be all sorts of therapies and offerings available... PLUS THERE WILL BE GUIDE DOG PUPPIES!!!

I'll be on hand for new parents, with help on all sorts of things inlcuding dealing with colic, teething and managing the first year of parenthood. If you find yourself in Street, came and say hi ✨️

I've totally come out of my comfort zone with this!

For the last 8 months I have been planning a new event for those who are trying to figure out what kind of wellness they need with my great friend Ruth .

🔊 Save the date! 🔊

📆 Saturday 24th January 10-3pm
📍Crispin Hall, Street

FREE ENTRY!

Sometimes, it can be overwhelming to figure out what kind of therapy/wellness/rehabilitation you need or want.

Money is tight and so is time.

So we thought why not have everyone in the same room, at the same time, so you can come and have a chat with all of us to see what might be the best fit for you.

It has been described as "Speed dating therapists" 🤣

For more information, visit and bookmark https://www.vedacoda.co.uk/events. Link in bio as well.

We look forward to welcoming you on the day!

A bonus is that we are opposite Clarks Village, just in case you want to do any Christmas sales shopping as well!

😁 Complete Baby Massage & Wellness - Happy Tummys 😁

Did you know our Happy Tummy Workshop is included in the Complete Baby Massage & Wellness course?
This session is adapted to the needs of those attending, providing lots of ideas for helping babies with or without colic symptoms to develop a healthy digestive system, as well as some guidance on how to make tummy time achievable and fun!

We cover a combined baby massage and yoga routine, which is particularly effective in getting food and air moving through their bodies. Support through alternative winding techniques that you may not have thought of, exploring positions and holds to relieve pain and help settle baby, and other activities that can be done to help uncomfortable babies.

The tummy time support is designed to help parents realise that it doesn't need to be a stressful experience. It also doesn't need to all be on the floor, and they're probably doing more than they realise! We cover ways to keep it interesting for the baby and how to find something that suits them.

If this sounds like something you would benefit from, this session is available as part of our Complete Baby Massage & Wellness course or as a private session.

Our next courses start March 4th and 5th in Street, Somerset. Suitable from 6 weeks to pre-crawling.

2016 💜 2026

I keep seeing everyone looking back 10 years ago and thought I'd do the same ✨️

2016 was a huge roller coaster!!!

I was excited to become a mum, although hated pregnancy.
I became a mum, but it was traumatic and I battled PND.
I lost my identity, but found it again by returning to roller derby.
I re-evaluated by priorities, chosing to focus on family.
I was a bridesmaid twice, but my last grandparents passed away.
I struggled with all the constant pivoting that life threw at me, but I loved my little family network.

2016, though, was the year that put me on the path I am today. Becoming a mum and experiencing the challenges it presented made me realise I didn't want to go back to the corporate world, I wanted to give back.
This is where my Little Diamonds journey began; my company is even named after a song we sang to my eldest daughter ✨️

2026 follows the toughest couple of years of my life; it shows on my face, and I feel like I've aged a lot recently, but it's also a year where I am ready for growth and change.
So... Best foot forwards... let's see what it brings 💜
