Bread and Life.
Eating together at a table.
The ancient ritual of coming together.
To feed mind, body and soul.
SHARING good food and stories.
Celebrating life.
Showing gratitude.
Come with an appetite.
Love always Janie x

Fancy pants blue velvet pantsuit.
On a Tuesday because I felt like it.
This face. Seventy years.
Freckles, laughter lines, the whole bloody lot.
I like her now. It took me long enough.
I am HERE. Fully, joyfully, every day.
And you are welcome anytime?
Love always Janie x

Belonging to yourself is not a luxury.
It is not a reward for getting everything else right.
It is your BIRTHRIGHT.
I have watched it come back to people in a single day.
That`s why I do this.

Amethyst.
Violet, ancient, alive in my hands.
The bringer of clarity, inner peace and higher consciousness.
Everything is ENERGY. The universe is vibration.
You. Me. The stones. The air between us.
Feel the vibration.
I am so grateful for this magic.

Dusk heralds the dark.
Two small flames on my mother`s table,
as the room fades into night.
*The wound is the place where the Light enters you, said Rumi *
Of course it is.
Pain shows you the truth.
So, I light the candles to welcome the DARK.
And remember the souls of the dead.

What people say at the door, on the way out.
"I feel like myself again."
"I`d forgotten who I was."
"I didn`t expect to cry."
Nothing dramatic happened here.
They were just SEEN and heard, for one whole day.

Bread sits on the board like it owns the place.
Mackerel, chicory, pomegranate seeds scattered like RUBIES.
I stand back and look at the table before I call "lunch is ready"
This all makes me happy, so I take a photograph of it,
and I feel glad to be alive.
Then we sit down to eat.
My heart is full!

I always choose the freshest produce.
Extra virgin olive oil in one thin gold thread.
I always pour too much.
I lick the peppery green NECTAR from my fingers,
which is no way to behave, but I don`t care.
I love making it special.
That`s one of the best bits of what I do.
Lunch for me and my guest.

Perfect reset. Guided meditations, Reiki healing, nourishing food, and unhurried space to breathe and be present. No phone. No demands. Just you, held in peaceful space. A gentle invitation to slow down—time for you to belong fully to yourself.
Beautiful experience
“Spent some time with the amazing Janie on Saturday, an introduction to meditation and also a reiki session. If you need to clear your head or to take some time to reset I’d highly recommend. Beautiful food and surroundings too.”
