WOMEN'S RETREATS | AERIAL HAMMOCK | PRIVATE CLASSES | SOMATIC | HEALING
dear wild woman...
Escape the ordinary and step into something wild, beautiful, and deeply nourishing. Join us on lush land in Borehamwood, Herts for an expansive and immersive retreat where laughter meets ceremony, rest meets revelation, mother nature connects you to your strength, beauty, and belonging.
Here you’ll dance barefoot, share stories by the fire, and awaken that untamed, radiant wild woman within, the one who’s ready to play, feel, release and come alive. It’s time to reconnect, recharge, and rewild your spirit in the most magical way!
Gift yourself space and time where here things get really clear...
REWILD
Our beautiful Borehamwood retreat, peacefully nestled in countryside on the fringe North London is housed in nature, where you can unleash your wild woman and engage with the earth, test your limits in our wood fired yurt, and find freedom, reflection and calm in the wilds.
Connect with your divine feminine finding balance through practices that foster a deeper connection with nature and your own innate instincts.
RERESH
Our surrounding woodlands are your backdrop for ceremony and solitude where you are invited to rejuvenate in our wild spa - sweating it out in our sauna, taking a cold plunge/swim in our natural bio pool, and taking in the breathtaking views that surround the grounds that keep changing with the seasons.
RECONNECT
Our Wild Women retreat takes you on a journey of the senses where you'll go full circle through the spectrum of emotions. We have to feel it to heal it! Expect belly laughs, releasing cries, intentional silence, play, dance, song, somatic movement, consensual conscious touch, healthy physical and emotional challenges, and lots of support and love from your fellow wild women and dedicated retreat hosts.
Get out of your head and into your body!
replenish
Foodies will be very well looked after here as each of your meals has been carefully selected to satisfy and nourish your body, mind, and soul. Ingredients, (where possible) are locally sourced, seasonal (many grown on the land itself), plant-based and absolutely delicious, and you will leave craving them for days after.
All of your meals are cooked and served on site by your own personal chef and include a hearty lunch and dinner with delicious snacks and hot drinks available during our time together.
RESTORE
At our Wild Women Retreat there is dedicated time for restoration where you will be guided through voice, music and sound into the dreamiest of relaxations. Expect consensual conscious touch, recalibrating sound immersions and guided breathwork which many have describes as "other wordly"
You can think of it as a journey back to you.
JESSICA ASHBY
Ground Based and Aerial Somatic Healer • Master Trainer • Sacred Space Holder for Women
Hi I’m Jessica, and I create nurturing, soul-led retreat experiences for women that blend creativity, somatic healing, and ongoing reflection, giving women who have an inner fire the space for it to ignite and glow brightly.
My retreats are inclusive and boundary-driven, rooted in clear values and thoughtful intention. I curate multiple holistic, sensory journeys that gently takes each woman by the hand while allowing them the space to discover her own truth.
With over 15 years of teaching and facilitating and a deep commitment to lifelong healing and learning, I’m compassionate, dedicated and a bit of a hoot.
Through my extensive training and personal practice in women’s circles, aerial yoga, Pilates, breathwork, creative expression, sound and voice activation, meditation, womb healing, consensual conscious touch, and somatics - and through years of working alongside masters in these fields, I offer a harmonious and intuitive blend of these practices to support profound personal transformation in the women I work with.
I create emotional safety through confidentiality and compassion, letting every woman know that it’s safe to be vulnerable, to cry, laugh, move, and release. I encourage openness, both verbally and physically, and invite each woman to show up not just for herself but also in sacred sisterhood, being of service to others as well as receiving the offerings for herself.
Through my work, women are guided to reconnect with the ancient wisdom of their female ancestors, understanding that they come from a powerful maternal lineage filled with resilience, intuition, and grace irrespective of their relationship with their family. I take pride in my authentic, balanced leadership, where I don’t simply facilitate; I participate. I am vulnerable, playful, and intuitive, with what others have described as “an edge” to my personality that keeps the energy light and grounded for all who are with us.
I would say I’m a fun-loving risk-taker who leads by example, showing women how to unlock their own courage and creativity. Having personally experienced grief and trauma, I’ve walked the path of somatic healing, movement, and sisterhood, using these tools to reclaim my joy and self-connection each time life throws me a wild card.
I celebrate life daily, living with immense gratitude and love, and I like think that this energy radiates through every retreat that I lead.
My work is primarily guided by the seasons and cycles of nature and womanhood, reflecting a deep respect for rhythm, rest, and renewal. This connection allows me to create spaces that feel organic, alive, and attuned to the natural flow of transformation within us all.
As an intuitive somatic healer and guide, I create environments where women rediscover joy, truth, and belonging and where magic naturally unfolds between those who dare to take a chance on themselves and each other.
"Our retreats are transformative for all who attend, (including me!) and I am so honoured to hold space for every woman that co-creates experiences with us as we journey together learning from each other. This is my soul work...Let's play!"
RETREAT GUEST REVIEW
"I just got back from going to one of my favourite retreat experiences of all time - wild water swimming, sound baths, somatic movement, silence, stillness, tree hugs, happiness, wooden huts and the most special of wild women sisters...
Taking time out to put on my own oxygen mask and disappear off the the woods to refresh recharge and rekindle with the romance of putting my self in the hands of someone else...at a retreat space I’ve always dreamt of in my head but didn’t know existed in Borehamwood, Herts 10 mins from where I live / grew up!
As I said to my boyfriend... "These guys are the real deal! No spiritual pseudo or egos ruling this retreat roost. Truly high positive vibes only here.”
I can’t recommend the space, the space holders, the sauna, the swimming pond, the silent walk, the food, the family and safe cocoon they create highly enough.
Without sounding like a sales pitch - I promise you it isn’t, they really were just that good!"
