I teach a number of non-certified holistic and complementary therapy adult education courses at a local college. Unfortunately, due to lack of numbers, these courses do not always run and students are left disappointed, so I have also decided to run them at home, along with the usual workshops that I regularly offer, to avoid disappointment. Full information about the workshops is at the bottom of the page or if you would rather have a free, informal chat about your requirements please don't hesitate to give me a call on (01793) 871410.
Using Meditation and Visualization in your Everyday Life
Saturday 23rd January 2010
Maybe this is something you have always wanted to do, but never gotten around to because you think it would be too difficult to do or fit into your life. Neither Meditation, nor Visualization should be hard work! You do not need to be highly disciplined, highly spiritual or be able to sit in the lotus position to do either! Using simple techniques that work, gentle teaching and learning and lots of fun, you are guaranteed to be reaping the relaxing and stress-busting rewards of both meditating and visualising in no time! I love mediation and visualization and this workshop is relaxing and calming, but definitely fun! It is also jam packed with practical hints, tips and useable exercises.
Understanding Your Own Personal Energy
Sunday 24th January 2010
Have you every wondered what Chakras, auras or Meridian Lines were and how they work? This one-day workshop will help you to understand the chi, ki, prana or 'life force' that animates and keeps you alive and vital. Through the use of fun and practical exercises you will learn how to feel your own energy and start to become aware of the energy in others, including your pets and plants. You will also be shown how to see the first layer of the aura, how to balance your own and others chakras with your hands and how to use crystals and dowsing pendulums to balance chakras. A fab, fun and energy packed day!

Reflexology One-day Workshop
Sunday 14th February 2010
If you want to make someone feel relaxed – rub their feet!! The reason for this is that we have 7000 nerve endings in our feet, and Reflexology is the theory and therapy which states that every system and organ in our body is mirrored in our feet. Reflexology is an amazing holistic (whole body) therapy that can aid recovery after illness, help physical ailments, relax the mind and emotions and just feels great!. This comprehensive course will introduce you to the principles of reflexology and will enable you to safely perform a 30-minute reflexology routine on yourself, family and friends, by the end of the day. Great for couples and friends to practice on each other.
Indian Head Massage Workshop
Sunday 28th February 2010
Indian Head Massage is actually a wonderfully relaxing massage that is performed seated and fully-clothed to the upper back, shoulders, upper arms, neck and head. It is deeply relaxing, leaves you with a clear head and can effectively de-stress the whole body. This action-packed and enjoyable one-day workshop will give you all the knowledge and tools to carry out this wonderfully relaxing treatment on friends and family at home. The perfect stress-buster!
Half-day Reiki Retreat
Saturday 16th January 2010
This very special half-day is the ideal opportunity to update your Reiki skills, to practice giving, and enjoy receiving a Reiki treatment, to tend your ‘inner and higher self’ in a supported atmosphere with like-minded friends and to have the undivided attention of an experienced Reiki Master/Teacher for a whole day. The Retreat will run from 10am until 2pm, is £5 for my existing Reiki students, £10 for all others and will include refreshments.
Hopi Ear Candling Workshop
Sunday 14th March 2010
The Native American Indian Hopi tribe have been using ear candles for thousands of years to help keep their ears, head and sinuses healthy. If you have heard of ear candling or 'Thermo Auricular Therapy', and ever wondered what it is, come along and find out what this relaxing Native American Indian ceremony is all about and how it can help you to feel less blocked and more clear headed. Ear candling is particularly suitable for people who suffer from sinus problems or have problems with their ears when flying or scuba diving. It is also less traumatic and invasive than syringing for children who suffer from sinus or hearing problems, wax build-up or glue ear. By the end of the day you will be able to carry out a full Hopi Ear Candling treatment, including a 30-minute sinus, neck and shoulder massage, safely on your own family. There will be an extra cost of £7 per pair of ear candles used during the day.
Corporate Training
Nowadays stress is the number one reason for visiting the doctor, and for most companies it is responsible for more days off than any other complaint. Help reduce the number of days lost to your company by running a Stress Management Workshop for your employees. This workshop is fun, interactive, will give your employees many techniques to assimilate easily into their working and home lives and will include a full manual of all topics covered.
Emotional Freedom Technique is increasingly being used as a tool to help business people, athletes, creatives and those who have to work in high pressure, results orientated, environments to overcome barriers to peak performance and to enhance effectiveness.
