A grounded space for unwinding tension, regulating your nervous system, cultivating deep listening & deep restorative rest.
Join the Rest, Remember, Release Gatherings
What if …
Together, in a gentle, loving, cosy space, women gathered to tend to the ingrained tensions of the ‘too-muchness of life’, listened, connected with their senses, their stories and their bodies to reclaim rest in their system?
What if …
A reclamation of rest was a sustainable, enjoyable, nourishing practice where nothing is rushed: the unfolding is allowed, the knowing is restored?
What if …
Doing less didn’t mean MORE, it meant space, freedom, knowing and creativity?
What if …
This is what our tired bodies are longing to sink into and every body will get exactly what they needed from the space and the other people in the space?
These were the ‘what if’s’ that helped me shape this space, and now they are a sustainable reality for the women who show up.
Please do join us when you can :)

What Women Are Saying
“It’s magic Louise, I can’t even begin to tell you how much I received just from being here. How much I receive just from being in your presence. You’re so calm, as soon as I come through the door and see your face, I know someone else has got me. It’s so beautiful. Such a rare treat, you’re such a rare gem. You are the exception in so many ways, the safety, the holding, the affirming its ok to be all of me, I never feel like I need to censor myself. All of me feels welcome. So grateful. The container you create is magic. It anchors me to the earth. Feels crucial. You give permission for vulnerability, there’s nothing I need to hide.”
— Babita G
“I find it reassuring to come here. So deeply reassured, not on my own. We all come from different walks of life, I don’t know much about the other women in the group, but yet on a deeper level I know them now. It is vital for my wellbeing to be in space like this. I can be vulnerable, not have a plan, know I can arrive, be held, and fall apart if I need to. In this circle of women, I recover parts of myself every time I come. That’s all I want in my life, I feel like its a blessing. Anyone thinking of coming, you come for one reason, but you’ll get so much more. It’s like your soul nudging you, you get fed so deeply, it enables you to then come out into the world and face whatever I need to face.”
— Jane L
“It’s a safe haven, a sanctuary. I’ve been to two groups now, it attracts people who get it without pretence. There can be fear about bringing yourself to something, but I’ve always felt vey safe here, very protected, with likeminded people, no judgement. The perfect amount of time. I always leave, feeling lighter, more insight, supported, connected. It lifts me up for the week. Knowing I have it coming each week makes me reflect, knowing there is a safe space to share what’s coming up for me.”
— Gail T
“Having never done anything like this before, I was initially nervous, but I felt so comfortable the first week I was able to just open up and cry. It’s been amazing! The group were amazing, Louise is so comforting. I feel so much better after being with the group. Louise provide’s such an incredible space for us to all come and be ourselves, relax and try and find ourselves again whatever journey we’re on. We are all just after that the same thing, just to be in our bodies and find what we need to cope with everything that hits us. It has been fab and I didn’t want it to end, please do longer ones! I'm taking so much away from it, thank you.”
— Sharon H
“Being in Louise’s group was like a sanctuary. I felt closer to the other women every week, we laughed and cried together, it was joyful. I felt my body relax and soften. Thank you Louise for making us feel safe, nurtured and cared for.”
— Naomie T
“Louises women’s circle is my comfort blanket. It’s my sanity check each week and somewhere that gives me a safe space to be authentically me. I am surround by the most wonderful women who share through freedom of their voices being heard, their tears being honoured and their love being received, acknowledged and returned. I always come away so much lighter, both physically and mentally. With Louise I’ve found a beautiful mentor and friend who gives me an open arms approach to being accepted as I am. You owe it to yourself to be on the 6 weeks with Louise, you will not regret it.”
