ELEVATE & ALIGN : A weekend Long Retreat
A RETREAT IN THE WILD LANDS OF SHROPSHIRE
From Friday 7th - Monday 10th March
This weekend-long retreat offers you a space for personal insights and deep nourishment.
Together, we’ll slow down, tune into ourselves, and gently listen to the wisdom of our hearts. Through thoughtful reflection, we’ll explore what you truly desire and uncover any patterns or blocks that may be holding you back. You’ll also discover what needs to be nurtured or amplified, helping you grow in a way that feels authentic and aligned with your inner self.
Guided by the energy of your inner Durga—the compassionate and fierce warrior goddess—you’ll journey inward with heartfelt contemplation and journaling. Through nourishing movement and energy work, we’ll create space for clarity and connection in both body and mind.
You’ll leave this retreat feeling deeply connected to your heart, grounded in your truth, and uplifted by the experience.
‘I can’t thank Jess enough for this magical and emotional experience. I feel so lucky to have been able to experience this weekend retreat. I did a bit of journaling on the train journey home and came to realise that I was feeling grounded and ELEVATED and only once I wrote “elevated” it clicked in my mind that the retreat was titled Elevate. Mission accomplished!’

‘Jess’s Elevate Retreat in Devon was absolutely soul nourishingly divine. I left feeling on cloud nine and positively radiant, and I know that I was not the only one. The combination of Jess’s yoga and mediation sessions, the additional treatments offered by Fern (not to be missed), and the unbelievably delicious food created by Pheobe, well..... it was simply magical. Then throw in the stunning countryside setting and of course the wonderful people that shared all of this goodness.....it was just perfect.’

‘The retreat has had a huge impact on me. Amongst other things, like getting into regular yoga practice, I recently started learning to play bass guitar and one of the last meditation/chanting/relaxation sessions that weekend tipped the scales for me toward choosing the instrument and getting into it. It has truly been a transformational experience.’

Hi, I’m Jess,
I specialise in helping people who juggle countless responsibilities, feel overwhelmed, and wrestle with self-doubt find clarity, inner strength, and a greater sense of ease. Through yoga, breathwork, and self-reflection, I guide individuals to reconnect with their intuition, align with their true selves, and move through life with more courage and authenticity.
I believe that understanding how we function—body, mind, and soul—fosters greater self-compassion. By mastering our thoughts, befriending our inner voice, and tuning into the wisdom of the heart, we can create lives that feel grounded, joyful, and expansive.
We all have the capacity to live empowered and loving lives, but we need nourishing practices to help us get there—and stay there. Whether on the mat or off, I’m here to guide you toward this space of connection and ease.
I’m so excited to running this weekend long transformative retreat near my home in Shropshire.

What People Are Saying. . .
“Working with Jess has been transformational in the way that I respond to the word and see the world.
The exercises I learnt from Jess were easy to understand, simple to put into practice and immediately helped me. I’m generally a very optimistic and positive person but hands down attending Jess’s course changed how I reacted, processed and responded to difficulties in my life. Thank you Jess.”

“The course that I did with Jess has had a massive affect on how I live my life day to day.
I've been practicing and learning from Jess for over 8 years and she’s helped me feel more connected to myself, grounded and manage stress more efficiently. If you're looking to build a deeper connection with yourself and a more positive mind, I can't recommend working with Jess enough.”

“Jess has been such a positive influence on my life. Her guidance and teachings has led me to make the most positive changes for me and my life. I have such abundance in my life because of Jess. She continues to inspire me to do this work as a self-practice and I’m really seeing the positive affects flitter out into each day. If you’re looking to create a positive shift and uplift your life Jess is a wonderful teach to support with that.”
