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 the opportunity for personal transformation. We’ll explore your wants and desires, uncovering what might be getting in the way of achieving them, or what you need to amplify. Understanding this is key to expanding and growing in a way that feels empowering and aligned with who you are.
While reaching your goals is important, what matters most is the person you become along the way. Some of your desires will be realised, while others may evolve. On this yoga retreat, I will guide you to connect with your inner Durga—the compassionate and fierce warrior goddess. Through deep contemplation and journaling, we’ll access your subconscious mind, and through movement and energy work, we’ll create space in both your body and mind.
You’ll leave feeling more connected to yourself, empowered, and elevated.
‘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 a lot, feel overwhelmed and doubt themselves, find greater balance and self-belief. I help individuals connect to their intuition and get into alignment with themselves so they can show up courageously and authentically. I’m passionate about helping people master their thoughts and get clear on their vision so they can continue to show up as their best selves.
I believe that mastering our thoughts and befriending our inner voice is key to leading a life we want to lead. We are all capable of living the most full and vibrant lives but we all need practices to get us there and keep us there! And this is what I’m here to help you with
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.”
