Personal Training
I am a sports massage and holistic massage therapist & can offer you massages at any time for almost any duration either in your part of the house of my part at a pre arranged fee ranging from around £45-55 an hour. I am now offering mindfulness Coaching, as i am newly trained to this, i lie to offer within my horses field but it can actually be done any where any time at a fee that you offer that you feel is right for you and your experience. I have ticked 'personal training' and i am qualified and insured to teach fitness, although i only use your own body weights and yet i do offer 'An hour of Power' workout at any time prebooked to suit you. This is a mindful workout that will test stamina endurance power and strength. Its a great workout that we can do inside or outside, with music or just with the sound of nature either way its wonderful. Again please pay what you feel it is worth to you at the end of your stay. If you would like singing lessons, Yoga classes, private vegan chef or vegan cooking lessons this services can be discussed and pricing confirmed from outside sources.

Neighborhood
Getting around the area
There is a lot of new build going on in the village (well 3 new houses) but this makes no difference, as the people are all so very friendly, it means some changes to the locals but i doubt any one else would really notice. The village and all the neighbours are so lovely and so kind, i have lived here 26yrs and pretty much keep my self to my self but if any one needs me or vice versa we are there. Favorite places: This is constable country, perfect scenery for walking, pub visits, days out, Long Melford, Historical Lavenham, market town of Sudbury, old rail way walks which are beautiful. Getting around: There is no passing through transport atall other than neighbours or myself. There is no shop for about 5miles to nearest town. There is a farm shop or 2 around locally, but not exactly vegan friendly although a good range of locally produced fruit and veggies there.

About This Space
A closer look at the stay
About
i can offer you some mindful time within a short distance away with my horses whom you can sit with and enjoy their company or i can be with you now as a mindfulness practitioner to talk through some areas and give you the head space you may be searching for in the current climate. The space within the house is open planned, with large bay windows all around.
The space
The property is in a small romantic village, and is set back from the village lane over looking fields with many local areas to walk, or cycle. I have a range of brochures that have been collected over the years of stately homes and points of interest within the UK that may be of interest to some and a range of travel guide books from all over the world. There are also gardening books and a few history books for those interested. I hope these buts dont make the area 'stuffy' but theyre there for any one to enjoy. Guest access: So currently i now live in this part of the house, a converted barn area, beamed and open planned, it has its own front entrance and front space for sitting in the evening sun.
The kitchen
The kitchen is not new, but theres plenty of space and utensils and a variety of vegan / vegetarian cook books to explore. There MAY be people who stay who arent vegan, may use eggs, dairy or nuts, so this is not a vegan kitchen and has not always been a vegan kitchen but has been with me for the past 3years.
Other things to note
I am at the very start of my journey to share my home, so you may find for instance the shower is not new, the kitchen dosnt sparkle as new etc, although i hope as the idea develops i can start to put new features & touches into the house, for instance a Sofa bed to sleep 4 persons rather than 2.

House Rules
Shared expectations for the stay
No smoking
No rules, i live in the attached back part of the house with my dogs, so i suggest that you use the front garden area, and i use the back so you may see me come and go and i hope it works out. I am so laid back and i am open to feedback or help in getting this established so i can make an income to be able to update the house and keep it in good repair.
