Step out of the fast pace of the city and into a sanctuary of stillness. Join Jess and Nikki for a deeply nourishing 2.5 hour experience designed to calm the nervous system, let go of held tension, and reconnect you to your body’s natural healing intelligence.
Through a blend of restorative and yin postures, gentle breathwork, and multidimensional energy healing, you’ll be guided into a state of deep release and spaciousness. Jess will weave energetic activation, intuitive healing, and subtle-body work throughout the practice, while Nikki grounds the space with embodied movement, supportive sequencing, and mindful guidance.
This afternoon is an invitation to rest, restore your vitality, and reconnect - with yourself, your breath, and the quiet wisdom within.
Perfect for anyone feeling stretched thin, in need of a reset, or simply wanting to be held in a warm, easeful, heart-centred space.
