Serendia Wellness

Yesterday morning I had the pleasure of hosting a private Sound Bath for five lifelong friends, celebrating a very special birthday. 🤍

Friends for many years, they had come together to surprise their friend with a morning of rest, connection and sound.

A different experience to the usual, infact they make it a ritual to experience something new or fun for each birthday - I love this!

Afterwards, they shared how peaceful and deeply relaxed they felt.

But one thing one of them said really stayed with me…

She realised just how much noise surrounds her every day.

The TV. The radio. Music. Something always playing in the background. Choosing a podcast when walking…. The list goes on…. If you think about it we are filling the space so much of the time.

And it made me think about how rarely we actually experience true stillness.

We fill our days with noise and distractions, often without even noticing.

So when everything suddenly becomes quiet, that stillness can almost feel uncomfortable… alarming for some.

But perhaps that’s exactly why we need it.

A moment to stop. To breathe. To listen.
To let the nervous system regulate. To simply be.

There was something really beautiful about watching these five friends give themselves permission to slow down together.

And what a lovely way to celebrate a birthday — not with more doing but simply being, honouring rest.

What a gift that is 💝

If you’re thinking about celebrating a birthday, gathering friends, marking a special occasion or simply creating some intentional time together, a private Sound Bath can be a beautiful way to do that.

Feel free to reach out if you have an idea in mind 🤍

August isn’t over yet 👀✨

I may be a little late with my usual monthly What’s On post, but August has been a bit of a whirlwind. But I’m back from a well needed holiday and ready for the final stretch of the month!

There are still some lovely things happening over the next days before the month comes to a close…

So sharing here to inspire you to take time to slow down and take care of yourself.

And if you’ve been thinking “I really need a massage…” I’ve also got some massage spaces at the studio (or 1:1 sound therapy) available before the end of August. 💆🏼‍♀️✨

Plus, a little reminder of what’s coming in September… 👀 The next Retreat Day ⬇️

This setting, 20 wonderful souls, the conversations shared, swimming, sauna radiance, the most perfect weather, new connections, nervous systems settling, smiles on peoples faces, the energy of the gong outside and birdsong in the background while fish jump out of the water & simply spending 3 hours in one of my favourite places…. ✨

One of my favourite spaces to hold… ✨

The Sound Immersion ✨

📍Held every month, on the first Sunday, 6.30pm The Bisley Yurt | Yurtie & Enchanted Studio hosted by Jessica Serendía Wellness | Jessica Barker.

A place to gather collectively for deep rest. A group session dedicated to therapeutic sound, increasing peace within, clearing the mental load and re connecting to self.

If you’re feeling called to experience the benefits of sound therapy, I encourage you to take a little time to research the practitioner you’re choosing. Sound is a powerful therapeutic modality and the depth of a practitioner’s training, knowledge and experience can make all the difference in creating a safe, supportive and meaningful experience.

As a fully qualified, diploma-certified Sound Therapist, I’ve dedicated many hours over the years to professional training, case studies and continued development. I’ve invested deeply in learning along side incredible teachers, and not only the art of sound, but also the science and therapeutic application behind it, so that every sound immersion I offer is held with care, integrity and intention.

When you choose to work with me, you’re choosing an experience grounded in professional training, compassion and a genuine commitment to your wellbeing. 💛

If you prefer a more intimate personal experience, I offer 1:1 sessions too at my peaceful garden studio in Bisley (round the corner from the Yurt).

I hope to meet you soon.

With love,
Jess ✨

Last Wednesday was a really special day.

For the second time in over 20 years since I was a student here, I returned to Kingston College. This time supporting the staff with wellbeing sessions.

After being invited back in January to offer my first session, it was such a pleasure to return and share two different experiences as part of the college’s Staff Wellbeing Day.

Each session offered something unique and it was wonderful to see people approach the sessions with such openness and curiosity. The feedback spoke for it’s self. I had so many lovely conversations with people after.

I’m incredibly grateful to Kingston College for the invitation and to everyone who joined the sessions. 🙏🏼

Life has a funny way of bringing us back to places, perhaps to appreciate how far we’ve come. ❤️

If your workplace or company are looking to invest in your employees wellbeing, I’d love to hear from you and discuss what could be created. Feel free to reach out 😊
