We are so excited to welcome Jen Freeman from Healing Sounds Jervis Bay.

Jen will be holding a Day Stay Sound Healing event at Holbrook Farm on June 6. Noon-3pm

Jen grew up in England where she studied music at university following her interest in world instruments, harmonies and vibrations.

In her early thirties she discovered Sound Healing whilst recovering from breast cancer. Her first Sound Bath changed everything. “I felt amazing and I experienced a sense of deep rest, calm and clarity for the first in a long time.”

Living in Jervis Bay inspired Jen to create her own Sound Healing and wellness-focused business, and so Healing Sounds Jervis Bay began over three years ago.

“My signature Sound Baths are gentle, nourishing and sensitive to people’s needs and wishes. I believe that in those moments of deep rest, stillness and softening, that healing and peace can come with ease and tranquility. I look forward to meeting you soon and bringing the healing sounds and those special moments where we can pause, refresh and feel renewed again.”

With a BA (Hons) in Music, an Accredited Practitioner Certification in Sound Therapy and Sound Healing, and a Practitioner Diploma in Sound Healing, I bring both technical expertise and intuitive artistry to each session. Other qualifications include: Diploma in Holistic Integrated Creative Arts Therapies (MBEd), a Certificate in Koshi Chimes Sound Healing, and a Certificate in Designing Nature Connection Activities in Blue Spaces.

To book your place visit @healingsoundsjervisbay or through the link on holbrookfarm.com.au

Early bird ends this Friday

The perfect place to immerse yourself into nature and reconnect.

🌿🧘‍♀️ Thrive Wellness by Jemma – April 17

Step into a calming Friday evening under the open sky at Saddleback Mountain ✨

This special experience is your invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect — with yourself and with a like-minded community. In a fast-paced world, this is your space to pause, ground, and simply be.

We’ll begin with a gentle, medium-level breathwork journey designed for all experience levels. Expect to feel more clear, open, and energised as you move through a session that’s both powerful and nurturing — helping release stress while bringing you fully into the present moment.

Afterwards, we’ll share cacao together, creating space for connection and heartfelt conversation. As the evening settles in, we’ll gather around the fire — to relax, chat, laugh, and maybe even move a little — embracing the simple joy of being together.

This isn’t your typical Friday night.
No noise. No rush. Just warmth, connection, and meaningful moments.

If you’re craving something deeper yet light, social yet grounding — this evening is for you 🤍

Come breathe.
Come connect.
Come feel at home.

Lately, Holbrook Farm has been putting on a show 🌈✨

Rain rolling through, then suddenly the sky opens up and everything feels softer, quieter… and then the rainbows appear like a little reminder to slow down and take it all in.

Paddocks glowing, fresh air, that earthy smell after the rain — it’s the kind of magic you don’t plan, you just get lucky enough to witness.

Feeling really happy for these simple, beautiful moments out here 💫

✨ A Beautiful Experience at Holbrook Farm ✨

Holbrook Farm has been the perfect venue for my Mindful Candle Making Workshop. From the moment you enter the property, there’s that peacefulness that instantly invites you to slow down and embrace the present.

The lush greenery, the farm animals, and the stunning view of the ocean create the perfect atmosphere for creativity and relaxation. It truly is a special place to pause and dedicate time to yourself while learning something new. Michelle has been the perfect host. She has been gracious and so generous with her time, not only on the day of the event but also in the days leading up to it. Her attention to detail in preparing the space ensured that every participant felt comfortable and cared for.

The timeless pieces in her workshop, from the tables, the chairs and the kitchen facilities, all contributed to the charm and the relaxed, cozy vibe that I was aiming for. I am so glad to have discovered Holbrook Farm at the perfect time.

The atmosphere has elevated our workshop experience, and that was echoed in the glowing reviews left by our participants. It is truly a gem, and I’m already looking forward to returning next month for another workshop!

Join us for a soul-nourishing Friday evening under the open sky at beautiful Saddleback Mountain.

This special gathering is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect — with yourself and with others. In a world that moves fast, this is a space to pause, ground yourself, and share in a warm and welcoming community.

We’ll begin with a gentle, medium-level breathwork journey suitable for all experience levels. This session is intentionally designed for grounding, connection, and stress relief — helping you feel clear, open, energised, and deeply present. Powerful, yet playful. Expansive, yet safe.

After our breathwork journey, we’ll gather for shared cacao, allowing the heart to soften and conversations to flow naturally. As the evening unfolds, we’ll come together around the warmth of the fire — sitting, sharing stories, laughing, maybe even dancing — simply being human together.
This is a different kind of Friday night.
