Bodysong Wellness Studio

Rest is productive too. 💙
We often think looking after our bodies means doing more — more exercise, more stretching, more strengthening, more steps.
But sometimes what we really need is to stop.
I'm taking my own advice this weekend and enjoying a few days in Cornwall — time to slow down, spend time with family, walk on the beach and recharge.
Rest gives both body and mind time to recover, reset and come back refreshed.
Sometimes doing less is exactly what we need.

Summer is a time for slowing down a little — but that doesn't mean we have to stop moving altogether! ☀️
A few simple stretches or some gentle mobility can feel wonderful, especially after long journeys, days out or simply spending more time sitting and relaxing.
If you're missing your regular Pilates sessions, roll out your mat at home, choose a class from Pilates On Demand, or simply take a few minutes to stretch and move in a way that feels good.
A little movement can go a long way. 💙

🦶 NEW on Pilates On Demand – Magic Feet & Bunions
We expect so much from our feet — isn’t it time we gave them some love in return? 💕
Two new short treatments are now available on POD:
✨ Magic Feet – use your soft ball to mobilise, stimulate and reconnect with your feet.
✨ Bunions – gentle, focused work for the toes, feet and bunion area.
You’ll recognise some of these ideas from sequences we’ve explored together in class — now you can give your feet a little extra attention whenever they need it.
Available now on Pilates On Demand. 💙

Can you tell I’m excited?! 😁☀️
Tomorrow is my Summer Retreat Day and I absolutely LOVE creating these days!
My creativity gets to run a little wild as I plan each session, and I spend far too many hours dreaming up all the little details 😂 — but I really do love putting together the perfect balance of movement, challenge, release and relaxation across the day.
Yesterday I was baking up a storm getting all the homemade treats ready, and now I’m on the final preparations!
I can’t wait to welcome everyone tomorrow. 💛✨

🌙✨ Winter Solstice Sound Baths ✨🌙

I know December feels a little way off… but I’m already looking ahead to getting back to sound baths after maternity leave, and I’m so excited to start planning my return 🤍

These will be my first sound baths back, and it feels really special that they’ll be around the Winter Solstice— a beautiful time of year to slow down, turn inward and welcome a little more calm and stillness.

I’m planning something slightly different for these sessions. We’ll start with a short journalling session, taking some time to reflect on what we’re grateful for, what we’re ready to release and what we’d like to welcome into the next season.

Then we’ll settle into a relaxing sound bath, finishing with a gentle meditation. 🕯️

This is a chance to pause, switch off and have some time just for you.

📍 Place Eight Wellness, Swanbourne
📅 4th December | 7–8:15pm

📍 Bodysong Wellness, Stoke Mandeville
📅 11th December | 7–8:15pm

✨ £20 per person

I know it’s early, but I’m genuinely so excited to have these dates in the diary and to be thinking about sound baths again. 🥰

If you’d like to join me, bookings are now open:
