Redressing the Balance and Building Resilience
Sat 8th June
Do you find yourself constantly caught up with life’s demands and endless lists & being pulled from one direction to another? Are you continually doing tasks for others, using all your energy to prioritise their needs over your own?
Well, you’re not alone, we all feel like this at times.
Trying to juggle too much can be really damaging to your health and lead to feelings of stress, anxiety, guilt and unhappiness.
I want to help you redress the balance and break self-defeating behaviours so that you feel happier, content and fulfilled.
I understand that committing time for yourself won’t be easy, you’ll have other ‘priorities’ and things that seem more important.
But trust me, taking this day just for you will genuinely change your life for the better. It won’t make life’s challenges go away but by restoring your energy levels and showing you the positive effects of self-care, you’ll take the first steps to making a real transformation. The results are priceless!
During the retreat, through simple exercises and techniques that are easy to implement in real life, I will show you how investing in yourself helps to:
Your change will be ongoing, so to support your progress after the retreat you will receive recordings of the exercises to use at any time and a follow up telephone call from me to see how you are developing.
To help you continue your relaxation after the retreat, we have arranged for special guest passes for the spa & gym facilities, which you are welcome to use at no extra cost.
All you need to bring is comfortable clothes, a blanket, a light lunch and an open mind and heart.
I’m confident that our retreat will set you on a path to make positive changes to better your health and wellbeing, but don’t just take our word for it, check out our what some of our previous participants had to say after attending-
Testimonials:
“I’m quite new to mindfulness to this was a great opportunity to practice new techniques whilst getting really helpful background information and explanations at the same time. I also loved the little gift of a pretty notebook so that we could write down bits and bobs and not have to try and remember everything.”
“I’ve been to a few retreats and I thought the way Angie ran this was amazing. It brought together good practices with useful research for a great balance throughout the day.”
“I really enjoyed taking this time out just for myself, as it doesn’t happen often. It was great to have some space to focus and think about what small changes I could make in daily life that could actually make a big difference and how to implement them. Thank you!”

Whether you are new to mindfulness or already have some experience, this workshop will help you achieve a calmer, happier and more relaxed family life. Don’t just take our word for it – here’s what some of our previous workshop attendees had to say after the workshop-
Testimonials:
“Before the Mindful Parenting workshop, I felt we had no major issues going on and family life was ticking along nicely. However, the course has had a massive impact on so many aspects of my life. It has been a catalyst for viewing events (every day little things or more challenging family situations) in a new way. The techniques and exercises taught during the course has meant I deal with situations in a more positive way. This has led to improvements in the relationship between my husband and I, the way our family communicates and the way the children deal with difficult situations. I was surprised at how life changing a 3 hour course could be.”
“I can honestly say I have immediately applied what I learned in the workshop it to my life! On the way home from the bus stop today, my two kids and I sat down on the pavement and had a little rest. I didn’t care what passers-by thought, I just did it. It worked!! The kids didn’t squabble or whinge once for the whole walk back, and I was way much calmer too. Bingo!!”
