Lately I’ve been seeing more and more videos online showing aggressive, forceful techniques that seem focused on creating dramatic reactions and sensationalised ‘releases.’

That was never what attracted me to John Barnes Myofascial Release.

Healing is sacred.
The body is sacred.
Trust is sacred.

When tissue is forced, the body protects. When the body feels safe, healing unfolds.

The greatest lessons John taught me were never about technique. They were about presence, patience, compassion, courage, listening, and trusting. And honouring the wisdom that already exists within every human being. 💜

These are some reflections from this month’s newsletter as I remember the profound impact John Barnes had on my life and practice.

If you’d like to read more, my June newsletter is now in my bio.

Love to you all 🦢

There is nothing more meaningful than hearing how safe, supported, and held someone felt during their healing journey 🤍

I’m so grateful for the trust my clients place in me. It’s an honour to hold space for healing and reconnection with the body ✨

2 spaces left for our Restorative Yoga & Myofascial Release Workshop this Saturday with ✨

If the Aries New Moon has been doing a number on you; stirring emotions, restlessness, or that deep urge to reset, this is your invitation to slow it all the way down.

Come unwind with long, supported poses, gentle release work, and space to reconnect with your body and breath.
This is about softening, letting go, and giving your nervous system a well-deserved exhale with some hands-on support.

🗓 Saturday 25th April 4-6pm

Stay where you’re celebrated, not tolerated.

I’m still learning that I don’t have to force myself into spaces that don’t feel right. Every time I choose peace over pressure, every time I say no instead of stretching myself thin… something shifts.

And somehow, the love that comes back is always louder, softer, and more real than anything I was trying to chase. ✨

Protect your energy. The right people won’t make you question your place, they’ll remind you of it. 💛

Feeling so full of gratitude after today’s restorative yoga & myofascial release workshop 🤍✨

Thank you to every single person who showed up with openness, presence, and a willingness to slow down, it truly made the space what it was. There’s something so special about coming together to rest, release, and simply be.

Grateful as well to Heather Yoga in Saltaire for holding such a warm, welcoming space for this work 💛
These sessions always remind me how much the body holds… and how powerful it is to give it time, softness, and care.

If you’d like to join us next time, we’ll be at Holistic House in Skipton on 25th April ✨

Grateful. Truly.
This weekend’s Yin Yoga & Myofascial Release workshop was something special. So much presence, so much openness, so many quiet breakthroughs happening in the room.
I don’t take it lightly, being trusted to hold that kind of space is an honour. And getting to share it with made it even more meaningful.
Thank you to everyone who showed up, softened, and allowed themselves to go deeper. You made it what it was 🤍
Feeling full of gratitude… and quietly excited for what’s next.

Next one will be end of April, DM to be the first to find out more details xx

A powerful trip to Essex with the incredible John Barnes Myofascial Release Study Group 🌀

We came together to honour and share our love for John F. Barnes and his legacy, reflecting on his passing and the profound impact he continues to have on our work and our hearts.

These gatherings are so much more than technique reviews (though we definitely refined and deepened those 🙌). They’re about slowing down, feeling, listening, and treating each other — making sure we’re in top-notch health physically, mentally and emotionally. Because the more clear and balanced we are, the better we can hold space for you.

John says you can only go as deep with the patient as you have gone yourself.

I’m returning feeling embodied, inspired and even more committed to helping you heal to your very best. ✨

Thank you to this beautiful community (and Luna 🐕) for the shared wisdom, the safe space, and the continued dedication to authentic care.
