You don’t have to wait for the perfect time to start choosing yourself

Just, choose yourself

Hi, I’m Jules,

The WaterWitch in York

A lifelong lover of the moon, a collector of stones, sticks and interesting bits of nature, and a firm believer that life feels better when we stop trying to live it by everybody else's rules.

I'm Jules, founder of WaterWitch in York. I'm a mum of three bonkers kids, yoga teacher, massage therapist, women's wellbeing practitioner and a woman who's spent a fair bit of time finding her way back to herself.

For years, I was brilliant at looking after everybody else, but not quite so brilliant at looking after myself. It took burnout, a complete life overhaul and a rather unexpected journey of unlearning to realise that I didn't want to spend my life meeting everybody else's expectations.

These days, my family and I live off grid on a boat, surrounded by nature, with our beloved dog and cats and a slightly unconventional approach to life.

And you don't need to wait until you burn out or completely fall apart to start choosing yourself.

WaterWitch is about making space for rest, rediscovering joy, finding your own rhythm and remembering the woman underneath all the roles you play.

A little grounded wisdom, a no bullshit approach to life, a little witchy magic and absolutely no pressure to be anybody other than yourself.

But there's more to WaterWitch than slight moon obsession and a bit of yoga.

With 17 years of teaching yoga and 19 years of massage experience, I've spent much of my working life supporting women through different stages of life. My work now brings together Yoga Nidra, restorative yoga, womb yoga, cyclical awareness, nervous system support and deeper 1:1 coaching.

I work with women who are tired of holding everything together, constantly putting themselves last or feeling like they've somehow lost themselves amongst motherhood, relationships and the expectations of everyday life.

I want to help you slow down, reconnect with your body, understand your needs and find the confidence to live in a way that feels right for YOU.

What People Are Saying…

  • Sarah

    "What really surprised me was how useful Jules was years after my divorce. I was feeling so stuck and unmotivated, and even though I divorced 3 years earlier, Jules helped me to sit with my feelings and begin to move on. I completed Rooted Within and I feel so much more confident in myself now and am finally finding out who I am beneath who I’m suppsed to be and moving forwards"

    ‘Jules helped me see truths that I didn’t want to, but they were things I needed to see in order to release the past, and to move forward into a better future.

    I guess this is what people call ‘the work’, I’m grateful to her for helping me in ways no-one else would have’

    “I went to Jules when I was going through a second divorce. I was very stressed and just wasn’t thinking straight. I was very grateful for Jules’ practical advice , which not only supported me emotionally but also saved me several thousand pounds in legal costs. She kept her cool when I was losing mine and I will always be grateful for the guidance she gave me at that time”
