These little moments can help flip the switch from 'powering through' to 'finding calm'. 🤍

Those times when you just think 'I can't cope with this'.

A moment is all you need to connect with your breath, bring awareness to the now, or feel your feet in contact with the earth.

Mindfulness has become such an important part of my life and work — the silent companion who can help bring us back from the brink.

So I'm especially grateful that this work has been recognised with:

✨ Best Women’s Pilates & Mindful Movement Service 2026 – Hampshire ✨

A lovely reminder of why I believe so strongly in the power of movement, breath, stillness and connection. 🤍

Perhaps take a moment today to invite some mindfulness into your day, hope it helps xx

I really notice the days when I don’t do some kind of self massage in the morning.
My energy is smaller, my mood lower, and I just generally feel a bit ‘stagnated’.
Here’s how I self massage to boost my energy – (my simplistic version - apols to any Ayurvedic practitioners!):
🧴Warm your oil (sesame for example) in your hands, and take a few deep breaths to relax.
🦶Start at your feet and work your way up to your head.
(I’ve also seen it recommended that you start at your scalp and work your way down – perhaps see what works for you best).
🥰Gently stroke your arms and legs with long, straight motions, and use small circles on your knees, elbows, and other joints.
❤️Gently massage your tummy from bottom right corner near top of hip upwards, then across, then down to bottom left corner down towards left hip.
🙏Spend longer around your shoulders, neck and head as these often carry so much tension.
🚿Wait a few minutes for the oil to sink in, then enjoy a lovely cleansing shower.
🌅And when I don’t have time for a shower – I just brush my body with my hands without oil, or just do my feet and legs...even this can help wake me up I’ve found.

(Of course take into account any nut allergies / check with your doctor first if you have any medical issues ).

Hello again. ❤️

I’ve been quietly away for a while, taking some time to focus on my health and recovery.

I’ve now returned to teaching Pilates within my lovely Petersfield community while continuing to look after myself, and I’m incredibly grateful for all the kindness that’s been shown to me along the way.

For the time being, I’ll simply be sharing moments of movement, breath and wellbeing that have helped me through this season. I’m keeping my health journey private for now, but I’m looking forward to reconnecting here in a gentle, meaningful way.

I hope that, whenever life feels busy, overwhelming or uncertain, these gentle posts offer you a moment to pause, breathe, reconnect with yourself, and find a little calm when you need it most.

With love,

Julia x

- to my 2014 Bliss Retreat at Cowdray Hall 💛

Looking back at this photo of the women who joined me still warms my heart. I wanted to hold a space for them where they could let go, release and restore...
but I was nervous.
Would it work?
Would they feel comfortable?
Was the music right?
The meditation appropriate?
But these women brought so much warmth, and open hearts to our day, that each session just seemed to flow from one to the next.
Most of all we so enjoyed each other's company, sharing stories and experiences.
Together, we softened. Breathed. Rested. Laughed.
It reminded me then — and reminds me now — that retreats aren’t really about the yoga mats or the cushions… they’re about the incredible women who choose to show up for themselves, sometimes for the first time in years.

If this speaks to you — if you’re craving space, connection, kindness, and a reset — my 2026 Wellness Retreats in Hampshire & West Sussex (Pilates, Restorative Yoga, Meditation & Movement for women 40+) are in the making.
