meet our feel good team!

The Feel Good Project is a sister-run company bringing our two worlds of food and fitness together to create weekends we are so passionate about. We work alongside our amazing friend Zoë, who provides everything "wellness" for the weekend.

what is your role at the feel good project?

I am responsible for feeding our guests over the weekend! I work with the seasons to plan menus that will fuel our guests and most importantly, I cook food that makes our guests feel good. Expect big colourful sharing plates full of flavour and nutrients. There's no celery juice and plain chicken in my kitchen!

a bit more about Julia…

As well as The Feel Good Project, I run my own business @foodwithjooj. I create bespoke, creative and colourful dinner parties and do everything from the cooking to the tablescapes. I LOVE eating and cooking outdoors and collaborating with lots of other amazing female-led businesses.

favourite part of the retreats?

Working with my sister and my best friend to create the happiest weekend. There's nothing better than seeing people's faces light up at the plates I put in front of them.

what is your role at the feel good project?

I plan and run our fitness sessions over the weekends! I am passionate about people (particularly women) lifting weights so I always include some strength and conditioning, as well as some more different, fun sessions like boxing. Although not a yoga teacher, I LOVE a chilled out stretch and flow.

a bit more about Emma…

As well as The Feel Good Project, I run my own online personal training business EWC @emmawilliamscoaching, supporting people to feel strong and confident in their bodies in a chilled and super balanced way. I'm also a PE teacher, which is where the passion all started.

favourite part of the retreats?

It has to be the friendships, open conversations, good vibes and obvious endorphins FLYING HIGH at the end of the fitness sessions (and of course that post workout wine). Gals that sweat together… stay together!

what is your role at the feel good project?

I am there to bring the nourishing, self-care vibes with bespoke back, neck and shoulder massage or deeply relaxing reflexology. My sessions are safe spaces to be yourself. I also do oracle card readings — beautiful ways to create conversation and open the door for reflection.

a bit more about Zoë…

As well as massage therapies, I'm a personal trainer with a huge focus on confidence, and managing director at Noir. Media, a creative media agency in Glasgow. My newest adventure will hopefully be reiki, so keep your eyes peeled!

favourite part of the retreats?

By far seeing everyone connect. Bonding over Jooj's delicious food, encouraging each other during Emma's sessions, and seeing new friendships blossom as everyone opens up throughout the weekend.
