Many years of heart lead leadership within a Policing environment has infused Jen Bailey-Hobbs with a plethora of skills which have made her, broke her and thankfully made her again. She is now on a path that continues to serve others sharing the wellness skills that has enabled me to become my best version: a wellness advocate, qualified international breathwork master, meditation leader and cold water therapist, Reiki master, retreat host and qualified adult teacher, coach, mentor and event manager. Founding Seedlings Retreats and Holidays, providing bespoke wellness retreats in Wales and Italy, and luxury holiday experiences at her home in Aberaeron, seemed the most natural step to take.  In this episode, Jen Bailey-Hobbs shares about how a shift around her mindset on 'being fat' helped her to finally break through her weight loss resistance, and her favorite healing modalities that she used on herself to break free from trauma, and that she's using in her retreats.
