This has been one of my mantras for years and to this day it is such an important message.  No one – no matter how talented or capable  – can keep giving to everyone and everything else without giving something back to themselves – replenishment is key otherwise we are like cars  without diesel – we stop working.

Thankfully wellbeing is becoming an increasingly important subject not least of which because of the Global pandemic we have all been navigating. Sadly, however, our wellbeing was already being challenged  by complex lives, workplace stress, long hours, caring responsibilities  at both ends of the life cycle to name but a few.

Good wellbeing takes focus and care. Sometimes the hardest step to take is learning to be kind and compassionate to ourselves. To listen to our emotions and our bodies (which always tell us when  we don’t listen) and put things in place to help us maintain a good equilibrium.  Life is about thriving not just surviving.

I have been running workshops and 121’s for major corporates, the NHS and charities for some time now and focus on Stress, Resilience, Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health. In our groups we work together to  create an environment where firstly, it is safe to talk and explore. Secondly,  where we look at our triggers or overloads and identify strategies/support  that can be put in place to change the dynamic of overwhelm, exhaustion, burn out or general fatigue.

I also work in collaboration with one of the best providers of wellbeing support in the UK to be able to provide comprehensive guidance on sleep, nutrition, massage (including on site) and reiki ( of which I am a practitioner also). It means that clients have access to a totally holistic approach to their wellbeing support.
