Happy National Dog Day! 🐾

Here's a little fact you might not know about me...

When I was little, we had two beautiful poodles, and I absolutely adored them.

Looking back, I think my love of animals started very early. There's something so comforting about the unconditional love they give us, and the way they somehow always know when we need a cuddle or a smile.
Dogs have an incredible way of encouraging us to slow down, get outside, be present and appreciate the little things in life...perhaps they were wellbeing experts all along!

I'd love to see your furry family members today.

Please share a photo of your dog in the comments so I can see your beautiful furry friends🐶💙

The Benefits of Tree Hugging 🌳🐻

Before you scroll past...YES...tree hugging really is a thing! 😂🌳

Sadly I couldn't find a tree for this photo... but I did find this bear, which I think counts! 🐻

Joking aside, spending time around trees has been shown to help reduce stress, lower blood pressure, improve mood and encourage mindfulness.

Whether you actually wrap your arms around one or simply take a quiet walk beneath them, trees and nature have an incredible way of helping us feel grounded again.

Sometimes the simplest things really are the most powerful 🌳💚

Today is a very special day in my heart 💙

My lovely Dad would have celebrated his 90th birthday today.

He was proudly Irish and carried with him that wonderful warmth, humour and quiet strength that I still think about often.

There isn't a day that goes by when I don't miss him, but I hope that in my own small way I'm sharing a little of his Irish magic through my work…in my yoga classes, retreats, reflexology and the space I try to create for others.

Helping people slow down, smile a little more and find moments of peace feels like a legacy he'd be proud of.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Dad. I hope I'm making you proud☘️💙

Today is National Relaxation Day... but here's a little question...

When was the last time you truly allowed yourself to relax?

No scrolling, no multitasking, and no feeling guilty for allowing yourself to do nothing for a while. Or even if your version of relaxation is doing something you love – when did you last allow yourself time to do that, guilt-free?

My 2027 Mini Retreats are designed to give you a few precious hours to step away from the busyness of everyday life, reconnect with yourself and leave feeling refreshed, restored and rebalanced.

🌸 2027 Mini Retreat Dates 🌸
💗 14 February: Self Love

🌼 1 August: Mid-Year Reflection & Celebration

This years were incredibly popular and places fill quickly, so if one of these themes speaks to you, I'd recommend booking early to avoid disappointment - just comment below or drop me a DM.

You deserve time for you, always 🙏

Sometimes our bodies tell us to slow down long before our minds are ready to listen.

Reflexology offers you the opportunity to simply pause, and stop what you’re doing for a few moments, to finally listen to what your body is telling you.

This is time where you don't have to do anything, be anything or solve anything. You can just rest.

Many people tell me they leave feeling lighter, calmer and more balanced, whether they're looking to ease stress, improve sleep, support hormonal changes or simply enjoy an hour dedicated entirely to themselves.

As a little August treat, I'm offering 5% off all reflexology appointments booked before 31st August, even if your appointment takes place later in the year ✨

If you've been thinking about trying reflexology, perhaps this is your gentle nudge to get in touch with me!
I'd love to welcome you👣

Happy International Day of Friendship!

Today is a beautiful reminder of the value of the people who walk alongside us in life, whether they’re right next door or on the other side of the world.

Friendship doesn’t always need constant contact or grand gestures. Sometimes it’s a voice note that makes you smile, a message at just the right time, or simply knowing someone is there when you need them most.

We are all so much more interconnected than we often realise. The world can feel big and busy, but friendships have a way of making it feel smaller, softer and a little more manageable.

Take a moment today to appreciate those people in your life who lift you, support you, make you laugh, or simply understand you in a way that doesn’t need explaining.

I am so grateful for my own friends, the ones far away, and the ones who are nearby everyday sharing this beautiful journey with me 🙏

Because good friends are one of life’s greatest treasures, near and far.

Some days don’t need many words…just a moment to pause and take it in, and that's something I really try to practice.

This stunning sunset happened before my eyes and it felt like a gentle reminder to slow down and notice the beauty that’s always around us, even on the busiest of days.

The sky doesn’t rush.
It doesn’t worry about what’s next.

It simply is… and in doing so, it gives us permission to do the same.

If today feels full, heavy or overwhelming, take this as your cue to stop for a minute, breathe, and look up.

There’s always something beautiful waiting to ground us back into the present.

Sunsets like this are nature’s way of saying: you made it through the day… and that’s enough🌅💛

Turkey, 4-11 September 2027 🌍

Relax with Jax offers just one international retreat each year...a carefully curated experience designed to give you space to fully switch off, reset and reconnect.

This year’s retreat sold out within a week of returning from the last, and I’m still so incredibly grateful for the response and support❤️

These retreats are intentionally kept small and personal, because the magic really happens in the calm, the connection and the time away from everyday life.

If you’ve ever thought “I’d love to do that one day”, maybe this is your sign to make that one day happen.

✨ A chance to step away
✨ A chance to breathe deeply
✨ A chance to invest in yourself

If you’d like to be added to the waiting list for the 2027 international retreat, please reach out now.

Spaces are always limited and I’d love to share the next journey with you ✨

If you've been thinking about joining me for the next Glastonbury Retreat, now is the time to register your interest, as the waiting list is filling up! ✨

This isn't a large retreat with dozens of people. It's a small, intimate experience, limited to just 8 guests, allowing space for genuine connection, reflection, relaxation and personal growth.

Together we'll step away from the demands of everyday life, slow down, recharge and spend time in the beautiful, magical surroundings of Glastonbury.

💫 Time for you
💫 Time to breathe
💫 Time to reconnect with yourself

With only a handful of 2027 places available, the waiting list is already growing and I would hate for you to miss out.

If your heart is whispering "I need this", listen to it and drop me a message to reserve your place or find out more ❤️
