Reconnecting with Yourself Through Movement, Stillness, and Nature

Our bodies hold wisdom, memories, and the capacity for deep healing and rest. Through embodied movement, breathwork, and restorative stillness, my events and day retreats offer a space to pause, reconnect, and realign with yourself.

Each gathering is an invitation to step away from the demands of daily life and into a space of presence, ease, and deep listening. Whether through gentle movement, time in nature, or guided meditation, these experiences are designed to support nervous system regulation, self-awareness, and a renewed connection with the body.

Summer Radiance Retreat: Flowing with the Energy of the Season

Held in the stunning Yorkshire Dales, the day includes breath-led movement, a mindful walk through the landscape, time to swim or paddle in the River Wharfe, and a deeply restorative hypno-meditation to close.
