HAPPY, STRONG & HEALTHY THROUGH MOVEMENT & INNERSTANDING

Dear Friends,
​
Thank you for taking an interest in Thrive. You have been guided to take this step, and I hope you resonate with the energy and feel encouraged to embark on the most important journey of self-healing.
​
In 2022, I followed my inner guidance and intuition to open Thrive. I am passionate about health, love, and happiness, as these are the true essences of life. From this aligned place, you can create the beautiful life you dream of. My purpose is to guide and support you on your journey toward health and happiness. If you truly desire health, you must be willing to work for it, just as you work for wealth, education, or any other accomplishment in life. Those who seek health, truth, and love will find them if they devote themselves with unwavering zest and purpose. We become what we contemplate.
​
My entire life has prepared me for this journey. I feel as though I have lived many different lives and undergone numerous transformations. Having overcome various adversities, I can relate to most difficulties and help you navigate and transmute them.
Originally from Belgium, I experienced a relatively difficult upbringing. Life guided me to move to the UK at 20 years old, where I pursued a corporate career for the next 10 years, got married, had a child, divorced. However, a mental burnout revealed that the life I was living was completely misaligned with who I am. A series of synchronicities led me to Zen Master Julian Daizan Skinner, whose guidance transformed my life for the better.
​
At the core of the search for true health lies the essential question of what life is for. What is our personal goal in terms of the use we make of this body and mind? What is the purpose of this divine gift of human life? Merely having no physical pain does not always equate to a happy state of mind. We are entitled to more and have a greater purpose in this world. Each of us seeks inner happiness, which comes not from outward accomplishments but from the harmony of our inner being. What is life for if not to strive for a higher realisation of consciousness and thrive?
​
Blessings,

Dear Thrive Community,
It is such an honour to be part of the Thrive community and the dynamic team co-creating this incredibly special space. I first visited Thrive in Autumn of 2023 in a search to find my local home yoga studio. I had no idea that I would not only find that but also dear friends, inspirational teachers, loving healers, a space to rest, a place to reconnect and now stepping into a new role to help support others here. I am committed to upholding the Thrive values, integrating into the already beautiful tapestry to help it to grow and reach even more people.
Thrive is not only a physical place to receive treatments, take a class or join a workshop…it is so much more. It is a down to earth, authentic, compassionate, nurturing, nourishing, open hearted and welcoming community of all different types of people from various backgrounds, coming together to help support each other walking through our human lives, which as we know, is not always smooth or easy. Thrive offers a safe and warm space to return to when you need to befriend your body, come home to yourself, your heart, your soul, your purpose, your path and to remember you are not alone in this journey.
I am so grateful to be a part of your journey to greater happiness, health, ease and peace. I am available to offer holistic massage and shamanic energy healing as well as guiding you in finding the perfect class, workshop or other healing modality. If you are interested in offering something yourself to our community, I am very happy to chat with you about this. And if you are a part of an organisation that would like to schedule a half or full mindfulness day workshop, please do get in touch. I look forward to meeting you and am always here to help you find the most aligned resources at Thrive to support you, wherever you are. Join me for a cup of tea in our mindfulness lounge.
With Love & Gratitude,
Emily Stillwater
OUR VALUES
At Thrive we have a clear purpose: To inspire, shape and grow conscious ways of living, so that people enjoy a happy and smoothly flowing life, and are able to express the highest version of themselves.
​
OUR PHILOSOPHY: Our way of being runs deeply through everything we do, and we stay true to what we believe matters and makes a difference:
​
Authenticity: We genuinely believe that each and every one of us has something unique to offer to the world. It is this uniqueness that creates the richness of our differences and leads to genius ideas. For us, authenticity is the courage to express yourself fearlessly whilst inspiring others around you.
​
Evolution: Our personal growth is something that we passionately protect. We see true transformation as being less about the destination, and more about the journey. One thing we are sure of is that we never have all the answers, but we understand the power of creating the way forward, and finding solutions together.
​
Connectedness: Connecting deeply with the people and communities around us creates a true sense of belonging, it’s a human need. We know relationships are precious and they are at the heart of well being and happiness. No matter what, we give the people around us the best of ourselves and make sure our relationships are nurtured and treasured, always.
​
Happiness: Life is better when it’s filled with fun, joy and kindness. An inner feeling of contentment which can only be discovered through deep compassion for ourselves and others. We honour our true emotions because they matter, and we stay attuned to what we think, feel and say. After all people remember not what you say, but how you make them feel, and for us, this is where the magic happens.
​
Integrity: We thrive to offer the best customer experience through active listening and tailoring our services to your needs. We believe that transparency, honesty and reliability build trust and long-lasting relationships.
​
Our business operates on Holacracy which is a system of governance whereby every member of the team, as well as our customers and suppliers, are encouraged to own their outcome and the means to achieve it, whilst also aligning with the core purpose and values of Thrive.
