Thanks to a generous grant from the GAVO Further Faster Short Term Small Grant Fund, on behalf of Aneurin Bevan University Health Board, we were able to run a series of wellbeing events throughout March & April for our brilliant Parent Carers.
These wellbeing sessions included:
– Mindful Massage sessions, courtesy of the Celtic Manor Hotel
– Reiki sessions, courtesy of Julia Jones (Give Me Wings Holistic)
– A group Sound Bath & Tibetan Bowls session, courtesy of Julia Jones (Give Me Wings Holistic)
– Gentle Crystals Workshop, courtesy of Julia Jones (Give Me Wings Holistic)
– An Aromatherapy workshop, courtesy of Holly Bowman (Aromatherapy by Holly)
The feedback from our Parent Carers has been overwhelmingly positive.
“After a difficult and consuming week, my mindful massage came at the perfect time when everything was all ok again with my son. I really appreciated the time just for myself, so I would like to say a heartfelt thank you for such a lovely treat. I felt relaxed and revitalised afterwards”.
“I never switch off with anything like this in the past, but this session was just surreal. I was totally relaxed and felt I had had an out of body experience. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to try something so lovely and calming. I am beginning to understand the benefits of a little wellbeing in my busy life”.
“I just wanted to say that I found the Reiki profound, I’ve already booked another session and one for my daughter. I would never have tried it without Youth Club. I’m endlessly grateful and so glad we found you”.
“After a stressful weekend the Sound Bath and Tibetan Bowls session was exactly what I needed to unwind. I haven’t done anything like this before but it’s opened my eyes to the power of sound & vibrations for rebalancing and relaxation”.
“Loved my Aromatherapy Session with Aromatherapy by Holly this morning. Holly was amazing and provided us with a great base of knowledge to go away with and practice at home. Thank you”
“It was excellent and I only wish I’d brought my son too as he’s been really interested – we’ve gone through all the information I took away. Best thing was he has slept! I bought him a big crystal that is supposed to help sleep and he slept till 8am!!!!”
We would like to give a huge, heartfelt thank you to our friends and supporters who made these sessions a possibility.
