Founder and owner of Yve Training and dreamer Yve Retreats.
I have worked in the wellbeing industry over 20 years, as a therapist, and tutor for 15 years.
My qualifications include level 4 sports and advanced massage, Swedish massage, reflexology, aromatherapy, myofascial release, lymphatic drainage, pregnancy massage, crystal healing, meditation teacher, reiki master, lecturer and assessor.
Yve training was founded in 2018, providing massage, complementary therapies and spiritual courses both in the UK and Portugal.
I am very passionate about my School and my industry, it brings me joy, emphasised greatly by all the incredible people that I meet along the way, watching them grow both professionally and personally.
Yve retreats is my vision, created by wanting to be able to facilitate and assist others more in the ‘art of wellness’ for ‘The Self’, to be able to provide the opportunity and space to allow you to indulge in pure self-care, to invest in growth and development personally or professionally, to find peace or to simply just be and enjoy the wonderful healing energy and creativity that our facilitators and the retreat have to offer.
Sculptor and facilitator
I have been sculpting from an early age, beginning my career in my fathers business producing mannequins from concept to the finished product.
I also started an interior line of bespoke products made to order in clay, wood, fibreglass and resins.
It was a natural transition for me to make the move into teaching, I enjoy working with people and showing that confidence is within waiting for one to use as one wants.
Hi, I’m Jayne. I’ve been catering for large groups with diverse dietary needs for over 10 years, specialising in healthy, nutritious meals that support connection and well-being.
Alongside my catering experience, I’ve been a reflexology practitioner for 17 years with additional expertise in Indian head massage, sports massage, and facial therapies.
Currently studying clinical herbalism, I create natural herbal preparations for both external rejuvenation and internal health. Living close to nature, I grow organic herbs to use in my work, drawing on the restorative power of plants.
At this retreat, I’m excited to share nourishing meals and holistic practices to support your well-being.

Favourite Food : Anything Italian!
My journey has been one of anxiety, imbalance, and self healing.
I spent the first 15 years of my adult life working in a corporate
London environment. I used to love working with people and supporting
them on their own journey. However, as time progressed, and I climbed
the corporate ladder, my anxiety increased and a sense of feeling
‘lost’ was heightened.
I decided to leave my career to focus on improving myself and healing
not only my anxiety, but my mind, body and soul. Through this, I found
a supportive and healing community that was able to help me recover
what I had lost along the way, my best version of me.
I retrained in various forms of holistic therapies, before qualifying
in reiki healing, healing meditation and mindfulness coaching,
breathwork, acupressure and more .
It has been a long journey, but one that has been profound and
rewarding. My passion is now in helping others with their journey to
find their best self once again.
