Hello beautiful people, it’s been a while….

This last year has been filled with lots of changes and growth, some very hard bits, lots of amazing stuff and everything in between.

Towards the end of last year I wrapped up my business and had my last client session. This finale took some time to get to, and there were many layers to move through to get to the final decision to completely stop. I had studied, treated and been devoted to serving clients for more than 18 years so it wasn’t a decision that I took lightly. But the more an allowed myself to feel into it, the more it felt right (scary but true).

I let all my wonderful clients know last year, and this may not be news to many of you reading this, but I feel like I never really closed the chapter properly here in the interweb. I kind of backed away, went inward and carried on with life without putting it in writing so to speak. If I’m honest I think I was holding on.

So here I am. I am marking this moment as the ending of a beautifully rich chapter of service and want to thank you all for being part of it in some way. It’s been an absolute honour.

I am now stepping into other areas of my life and take with me the same level of curiosity for life, exploration and connection.

This page will now be somewhere I share whatever lil bits of life feel good to share and also to stay connected to all the great people on here like you.

Here’s to new chapters!
With love,
Jess 💚

I've been sharing a lot on my Embodiment offerings, and someone just asked if I still do Ka Huna Massage?.... Yes, yes I do. I offer a handful of sessions each week from my Trevallyn Studio. DM or see bio to book 🖤

Transitioning to being back home after 11 days away.

11 days of being deep in relationship: sharing, laughing & playing. Being completely honest and real.

11 days of receiving like never before.

11 days of not having a dog and two young boys to think about, provide for and hold.

11 days of smelling new smells and seeing new things (but also being totally content doing very little at all).

Since becoming a mother, this last three weeks is the longest time I've had without my boys (they are OS with their dad). I'm not saying that as some kind of badge, it's just the reality of choosing to bring young people into the world, it's a non stop kind of gig (that I love). I also get that it's a fairly unique opportunity.

And what I'm most proud of from this time, is the amount of pleasure and joy I welcomed into my body each day. Pleasure from the air, temperature, and food I was eating, through to the pleasure of intimacy.

Why? Well, because there would have been a time when I felt guilty for such things, or when I perhaps felt undeserving and couldn't really open up to the experience.

When receiving something meant that I should be paying it back. Or that enjoying myself without my kids meant that I'm being a 'bad' mum.

And I don't think I'm alone with this. I see this all the time (with friends and clients alike). There is so much conditioning around such things, that it's not a surprise that a lot of women struggle to prioritise this side of themselves.

Whether you are a mother or not, you are deserving of feeling pleasure and aliveness. You are deserving of choosing things that light you up and interest you.

Just as learning to be with the more uncomfortable emotions can take time and practice, so can being with the other end of the spectrum (pleasure, joy, ease).

See if you can invite in some awareness and presence with your body next time you are doing something you love.

Get familiar with what you enjoy and feels good. Appreciate and celebrate it, let it take up space. Breath it in.

It's a really worthwhile conversation to open up with yourself, and ultimately, everyone around you also benefits so it's a win win.
