Of all the brands we trust and use regularly at the studio, Neal's Yard Remedies is, I have no doubt, the one most associated with Sunfish.

I have been a for many years now, and in fact it was one of the factors that kept my business afloat during the Covid years, with the fabulous online skincare parties attended by so many of you wonderful people 💙

(In-person skincare consultations are coming to the studio soon - watch this space!)

Beyond that, we have always made space for wonderful handwashes and lotions in our bathrooms - at our first studio, and this one - as well as using the iconic Geranium and Orange Body Balm in the majority of our foot reflexology treatments.

And I'm sure anyone who has attended yoga with us over the years remembers the welcoming and relaxing scent of Calming Blend in the diffuser (or mandarin for our younger clients and baby classes)

We always have a range of products and essential oils at any time at the studio, with the full range of products available to order through the link in our bio (or just get in touch with your shopping list... 😉

Here are some of the reasons we love this brand so much:

✨a classic British brand with the iconic blue glass bottles that are so loved....and the best essential oil blends anywhere (in my opinion!)

✨products are made in their Dorset eco-factory, set in acres of organic gardens. I hope to be able to visit one day!

✨products are cruelty-free and organic, with responsible sourcing of ingredients

✨the company is certified carbon-neutral

And beyond all that, the products are effective, and totally gorgeous. What's not to love?!

✨Rest and Restore ✨

This Rested Immersion pathway does what it says on the tin....it's centred on deep rest and nervous system regulation.

Perfect for those feeling depleted and worn out, whose nervous system is always on alert, who find it hard to switch off.

If you find yourself craving deep rest, beyond the restless sleep you fall into out of sheer exhaustion each night, this one could be the perfect choice for you.

If you select this pathway when booking your immersion, you'll be able to select the strands that feel most resonant to you, including:

✨ rest-led breathwork ~ no harsh breath holds or ratios, just soft breathing patterns that meet you where you are

✨ gentle restorative and / or Dru yoga movements

✨Jin Shin Jyutsu

✨ NEPIP and Duopody reflexology tailored for you and your nervous system

✨nidra (guided relaxation)

Sounds good?

Comment REST below and I'll send you a code for our summer offer - a 3 hour Rested session for just £99 and the chance to become a Founding Member and help to shape our future rest-led offerings.

I'm taking a little family time over the next week, and letting my days move at a slower pace.

I won’t be online as much, but bear with me and I'll reply to any messages or emails next week.

While work is never all that far from my mind - I love what I do! - these pauses are where I reconnect with the spaciousness at the heart of my work 🧡

Rest isn’t only about stepping away.

It’s about softening the edges, letting the nervous system settle, and giving yourself permission to be fully present with whatever (and whoever) is in front of you.

If you’re also carving out moments of quiet this week, I hope they feel nourishing and uncomplicated. A cup of tea in the garden, a slower morning, a breath becoming smoother… all are tiny things that add up to a much more rested version of you ✨

See you soon,

You might be wondering about our Rested Immersions, what they are and which one would suit you best.

This post is the first in a series which will guide you through your options over the next couple of weeks or so 🤍

A Rested Immersion is our deepest offering to date, a blend of movement and hands on treatment in a 3 hour session at the studio.

Each Immersion is unique to you and your wellbeing needs, whichever pathway you choose.

When you book, you're asked to choose a pathway - and then strands that interest you within that pathway - purely to guide me as I start to prepare your session.

You won't be able to book for the next day as I need time and space to make this just right for you!

If you just don't know, there is an option to say so when you are booking - leaving me to do a bit more planning for you!

But the three main pathways include:

✨ Rest and Restore - for those seeking deep rest

✨Rebalance and Realign - for those carrying bodily tension they'd like to release

✨ Women's Wellbeing - for those navigating hormonal shifts and the sheer weight of womanhood

Whichever pathway you choose, you'll be able to indicate which strands within it feel right for you - from breathwork to yoga, and from reflexology to Jin Shin Jyutsu.

And whatever I plan, I will still tweak as needed depending on how you feel on the day - each session beginning with a full consultation for clients who are new to us, or a full update for existing clients.

Rest assured, whichever you choose, rest is at the very heart of your session 🌀

Here at the studio we choose to work with ethical brands we know we can trust on issues that matter to us - nature being at the very top of that list 🌿

And so when we moved to our new studio and were looking for brands to both use and sell in our shop, Faith in Nature were a key addition for us.

Here are some of the reasons we - and you! - can trust this beautiful brand 🙌

🌿In 2022, Faith in Nature famously appointed Nature to their board of directors, acknowledging that every decision made in their business has an impact on nature

🌿Energy and water are sourced sustainably, and the company aims for carbon balance

🌿Packaging is a mix of aluminium and recycled (and recyclable) plastic. Our gorgeous soap bars - currently stocked in orange, grapefruit and tea tree fragrances - come in cardboard boxes with no further packaging at all

🌿Ingredients are organic where possible and all products are UK made

If you'd like to know more about the products we stock and use at the studio, just ask. We're happy to help,

Have you ever noticed how babies instinctively pull on their ear lobes when they’re teething?

It’s something I saw again and again with my own son when he was small, and again when I worked with new mums and their babies - and it’s a beautiful example of the body’s natural intelligence.

The teeth and head are reflected in the lobes, so when babies tug or rub there, they’re actually working a reflex area that can soothe discomfort. Their nervous systems know exactly what to do 💛

Auricular reflexology builds on this same principle: gentle, precise touch on the ear can support relaxation, ease tension, and help the body settle.

If you’re curious, you can try this at home - softly massage the lower lobe while breathing slowly. It’s simple, calming, and surprisingly effective 🌀

This August, I’m offering a small number of Rested Immersion sessions at a summer development price of £99 (normally £115).

These are Founding Member sessions....part of the first iteration of the deeper immersion work I’m shaping for autumn 🍂

In exchange for your feedback, Founding Members will receive a special offer on future immersion packages and deeper work when the next version launches.

If you’d like the summer code, and to step into this small circle of Founding Members, comment REST and I’ll send it to you privately 🙌

I’ve been developing my own auricular reflexology method over the past year, and this summer I’m inviting a small group of people to experience it as part of a two‑session development offer 🙌

Many people find ear reflexology incredibly relaxing and soothing, which can be partly explained by the innervation of the auricle (the visible part of the ear) by the vagus nerve 🌀

There are some key points I use when treating the ears to support deep relaxation. Two of these are:

✨ Shenmen — a point I use widely in both reflexology and ear seeding
✨ Point Zero — directly innervated by the vagus nerve 🌀

You can try this at home, using your finger to gently work the areas shown above while breathing softly.

And if you’d like to access this two‑treatment development offer, in exchange for your feedback, visit my linktree above to indicate your interest and I’ll be in touch 🙏

A canopy of green from above 🌱— the new studio plants settling in beautifully 🌿💚

There’s something grounding about tending to living things while the day hums along in the background.

Rest doesn’t always mean stopping. Sometimes it’s simply choosing gentle tasks, slow movements, and letting the nervous system exhale during a busy day 🌀

Our countryside studio is so so peaceful, apart from moments like this! 😂🌿

Clients say they still prefer these sounds to the traffic and chat that sometimes disturbed the peace at Wye.

What do you think?
