SJ
Hello I’m Sarah-Jane and I own SJ Yoga and Wellness
I’ve been a holistic therapist since 2007 and have trained extensively since then in a range of massage, reflexology and reiki treatments as well as completing a number of yoga teacher training qualifications.
I work with clients with many different needs and requirements with my specialism being women’s health, offering a number of fertility, pregnancy, post natal and menopausal services.
I am really excited to be working with some fantastic fellow yogis and therapists to offer you a variety of really special, restorative and empowering retreats to allow you the time and space to find your inner peace and take a step back from your hectic lives.
I look forward to welcoming you

Jess
Hi, I'm Jess! I live in Yateley with my husband and our 2 girls. I set up Calm Nest Birthing in 2022 to offer hypnobirthing focused birth preparation courses
Seeing the difference that hypnobirthing made to my mindset and birth experience when I had my own children sparked a fire in me to learn more and spread the word to others! I am incredibly passionate about supporting families to make sure they go into birth and parenthood beyond feeling calm, confident, supported and empowered to make their own choices
I strive to make sure my clients feel held and supported whatever birth path they choose. Having seen time and time again the difference that good birth preparation, knowledge and empowerment around birth can make I aim to make my courses accessible for everyone by offering a range of options and some pay what you can places
