SUE GATHERCOLE

I have just had the most magical massage from the lovely Emilie. Everything was spot on, the cabin is absolutely beautiful and created the warmest welcoming environment and I felt Emilie very quickly got to grips with where I am holding stress in my body. I couldn’t recommend highly enough and will now be booking a monthly massage.

Why do we return to the wild?
Because it reminds us of who we are beneath all the noise.

For me, there’s something about the salty skin, the wind-whipped hair, the glow that comes after swimming in cold water or walking across the salt marsh that makes me feel most alive. It’s like I return to myself.

Nature reflects what we often forget—that we move in cycles.
That we’re not made to be in one constant state of doing, producing, giving.
We have inner winters and quiet moons, even when the world around us is in full summer mode. And we need space to feel that, honour that, be with that.

This is why I create spaces to pause.
To listen.
To be still enough to hear yourself again.

We come back to the wild not to escape life, but to feel it more deeply.
To feel ourselves.
To remember our rhythm.

Thai massage blends assisted stretching, acupressure, and rhythmic movement to release tension, mobilise joints, and create space in the body—without you having to do a thing.

It’s like yoga, but you’re completely held.
It’s nervous system magic.
It’s bodywork that meets you exactly where you are.

Perfect for tired minds, tight bodies, and anyone needing to soften and let go.

Sessions take place in my cosy cabin in Brancaster. DM to book or find the link in bio.

This is for the ones who hold it all together.
The ones who keep the wheels turning, carry the weight quietly, and rarely ask for support.

When was the last time you were held?
The last time you let yourself soften, surrender, and be completely received?

You don’t have to carry it all alone.
You deserve moments that are just for you—where the world slows down, the weight lifts, and your body remembers how to let go.

Come lie down, come exhale.
Let your nervous system exhale with you.

This is for the women who…

…need a moment to breathe.
…feel something stirring but don’t yet have the words.
…long to be held, witnessed, and reconnected to themselves — not through fixing, but through feeling.

This is a women’s-only retreat, and that’s intentional.
Because there is something ancient, sacred, and quietly revolutionary about being in circle with other women.
About sharing stories, tending to our bodies, and remembering that we are not alone in the messy, magical unfolding of it all.

You don’t have to show up a certain way. Just as you are — soft, strong, tired, blooming — you’re welcome here.

@west_lexham

I know it might feel early to think about the golden days of late summer when spring has only just begun to stretch her limbs… but I truly believe in living in rhythm with the seasons.

In a world that moves so fast, I love to mark time differently — through ceremony, through nature, through coming home to the body.

This retreat is one of those gentle anchors. A way to honour a turning of the wheel, to rest, reconnect, and be held as summer softens into something slower.

All the details are in the post — I’d love to welcome you there.

We’ve just crossed the Spring Equinox.
The clocks have shifted. The light is stretching.
We’ve stepped into the rising energy of the brighter half of the year — that delicate moment of balance between light and dark, between rest and renewal.

It’s a time many of us mark with quiet ritual, soft reflection, and a yearning to begin again.

And while we’re only just beginning to bloom into spring…
The Last Days of Summer Retreat arrives at the other end of that arc —
a sacred space to land after the fullness of spring and summer,
to integrate, soften, and gently prepare for the inward pull of autumn.

Held from September 12–14 at the beautiful West Lexham in Norfolk, this is a women’s retreat designed to offer you exactly what you need: a deep breath, a moment of pause, a space to come home to yourself.

This retreat is for the woman who…
…is feeling the stretch of life and ready for reconnection.
…has moved through the year giving her all and needs a soft place to land.
…longs for space, stillness, sisterhood, and seasonal rhythm.

What awaits you:
• Heart-led yoga and slow movement practices
• Wild swimming and lakeside sauna
• Nourishing seasonal meals and shared connection
• Restful accommodation in nature
• Creative reflection and ceremony
• Circle space with like-hearted women

This retreat isn’t about doing more — it’s about being held, so that as the wheel turns toward autumn, you can cross the threshold feeling clearer, steadier, and more rooted in yourself.

The waitlist is now open — and it’s the best place to be.

It really is though. So much of what I do — whether it’s running a retreat, holding a class, or offering a massage — is rooted in this quiet art of space holding.

It’s not just about how a space looks, it’s about how it feels.
The warmth of the lighting, the scent in the air, the softness of the blankets, the quiet details you might not even notice at first — they all work together to help your body go, “Ahh… I can let go here.”

I love those details. I love making spaces feel like somewhere you can fully land. Somewhere your nervous system can settle. Somewhere you feel held, without needing to say a word.

Because when we feel safe — truly safe — that’s when we soften. That’s when we can stop holding it all together, and start letting ourselves be.

That’s the kind of space I love to create.

Eight years. Eight years of teaching, adapting, hustling, and—if I’m honest—burning out more times than I can count. Eight years of deep love for this work, of witnessing people soften, sigh, and settle into themselves. And yet, also eight years of navigating an industry that is, at its core, deeply unsustainable.

Let’s talk about it.

People love to glorify self-employment. The freedom! The passion! The dream of turning what you love into your job! And yes, there is beauty in that—I wouldn’t still be here if I didn’t love it. But what doesn’t get talked about nearly enough is the reality: the constant hustle, the financial instability, the fact that when you’re self-employed, you don’t get paid for holidays, sick days, or time off. If you don’t work, you don’t earn. And even when you do work, you’re often at the mercy of whether or not other people decide to show up.

Yoga teaching is not a reliable, steady income. It’s built on the premise that people will pay to attend classes, and life—understandably—gets in the way. Cancellations happen, last-minute dropouts happen, and let’s be real: most people don’t want to pay for something they can’t attend, even if they’ve already booked. The result? Your income fluctuates wildly, and yet you still have to pay the hall rental, still have to prep your class, still have to load and unload the bolsters from your car, still have to be the steady presence that holds space for a room full of people—regardless of what’s happening in your own life.

And let’s talk about holding space. Because yoga teacher training, as wonderful as it is, does not prepare you for the sheer emotional weight of this work. People bring their grief, their stress, their trauma into the room, and you hold it. You hold them. Week after week. Often without the support, training, or even recognition that you’re carrying so much more than just the logistics of guiding a class.

Continued in Comments…

What if your body didn’t have to hold it all alone? Sink into hands that soothe, soften, and cherish every part of you. This is more than bodywork—it’s a homecoming.

So much of my work is space holding, and this goes without saying in bodywork sessions. It’s not just about easing tension—it’s about creating a space where your body can exhale, where the weight you’ve been carrying (sometimes without even realizing) can soften. We store so much—stress, emotions, unspoken things—deep in our tissues, and often, we don’t give ourselves permission to let it go. But here, you don’t have to do anything. You don’t have to hold it all. You just get to receive.

Been meaning to share this… @julsie_g and I went on a little road trip to Waaaay-els to visit Suzie from @trikona.tattoos who specialises in stunning hand poke tattoos.

Thanks again Suz 😘

We loved every bit of it!!

#Roadtrip #tattoo #handpoke #galentines

Ever had that feeling when you finally stretch out properly and your whole body just sighs with relief? Now imagine that—but with expert hands guiding you deeper into it, easing tension you didn’t even realize you were carrying.

That’s the magic of combining massage and stretch in bodywork. It’s not just about releasing tight muscles, it’s about giving your body space to move, to breathe, to reset. A kind of deep exhale for your whole system.

I always think of it like this: massage melts the tension, stretching unwinds it. Together? They create this beautiful, fluid feeling in your body—like you’ve been unraveled in the best way. If you’ve never tried it, trust me, your body will thank you.

Fancy a session? You know where to find me. ✨

“Working with women, creating spaces where we can move, breathe, and just be—this is what I love. On International Women’s Day, I’m reminded of the power of coming together, of supporting each other, of celebrating the depth and strength we hold. Here’s to the wild ones, the soft ones, the fierce and tender ones.

It’s also officially 16 weeks until the Summer Solstice when we get to do this! Come join our annual beach yoga + sea swims as we celebrate the beginning of summer together!

These bright, sunny days have got me dreaming of summer—long, golden afternoons, salty skin, and slow, soulful gatherings @thewildyogagarden.

I read recently that having things to look forward to is one of the biggest boosts for our mental health. And honestly? I feel that. Since the start of the year, I’ve been making plans, filling my calendar with little pockets of joy—time with friends, family, and moments that make life feel rich and full.

If you’re feeling the pull to plan something for yourself this summer, something nourishing, grounding, and connected to nature, come join me at The Wild Yoga Garden. It’s my little sanctuary by the salt marshes—a place to move, breathe, and be fully present with the land and yourself.

Check out my summer gatherings via the link in bio, or head straight to www.wildyoganorfolk.com/wildyogagarden to get it in the diary.

“There is a kind of magic in floating with the tide, in surrendering to something greater than yourself. In these waters, we remember—we are not separate from nature, we are part of it.”

Rosie and Emilie invite you to join us for an immersive day inspired by the Naiads, the sacred water nymphs of Greek mythology, this retreat invites you to embrace fluidity, renewal, and deep connection. Known as the keepers of freshwater springs, Naiads guided transformation and clarity through water’s ever-changing movement. Our journey mirrors their essence—traversing salt marshes, tidal creeks, and hidden freshwater springs, before floating effortlessly on the flood tide.

This immersive experience is designed to awaken flow, cultivate clarity, and reconnect you to the wild within and around you. Set in Brancaster Staithe, this landscape breathes with the tides. As we move through its shifting waterways, we’ll witness oystercatchers, curlews, and the ever-changing dance of the estuary, a reminder that nature—and we—are always in motion.

What Awaits You

+ Nature Immersion Move through salt marshes and tidal creeks, deepening your connection to the wild.

+ Freshwater Springs & Tidal Creeks Pause at hidden freshwater springs, symbols of renewal rising from the earth.

+ Floating with the Tide Let the flood tide carry you home, drifting past mussel beds and moored boats in harmony with the estuary.

+ Restorative Rituals Return to land and warm your body with a wood-fired sauna and herbal infusion tea, inviting deep integration.

+ Seasonal Nourishment Gather fireside for a locally sourced supper, sharing reflection as the day settles into evening.

Each summer, the Wild Yoga Garden awakens.

For three fleeting months, this little patch of wildness opens its arms to you—nestled beneath open skies, cradled by salt-scented air, kissed by the hum of bees in the hedgerows.

June, July, and August, this sacred space will hold movement, stillness, gathering, and return. Yoga beneath the morning sun. Evenings of soft breath and candlelight. Circles where bodies find rest and hearts find belonging.

Like the tides, this space rises and falls—ephemeral, precious, fleeting. Here for a season, then gone. But in its rhythm, it reminds us: presence is everything.

This summer, the Wild Yoga Garden invites you in. Will you come? 🌿✨
