Hope in Minds, Mindfulness

20/10/2025

For anyone who doesn’t know me well, I thought I’d reintroduce myself and give a little of my back story.

At 51 years old there have been lots of twists and turns in my story and, as a child, I’d never have imagined that I’d be living in Timperley and running my own business.

But that’s how a story goes and I’m open, curious and excited to see what the next chapter will bring.

I’d love you to join me on one or all of my Time to Unwind sessions on Tuesday evenings at 8, 11 Nov - 16 Dec, online, and let me guide you gently into a new calmer version of you 😊

I know how easy it is to put yourself at the bottom of the list, to keep giving, doing, and rushing until your energy runs low.

That’s why I created Time to Unwind, a simple, soothing space each Tuesday evening to pause, breathe, and reconnect.

Think of it as a small act of kindness to yourself…
a weekly gift of stillness to help you feel more grounded, more centred, and more you.

🕯️ Time to Unwind
6-week online mindfulness series
Tuesdays, 8–8.30pm
11 Nov - 16 Dec

I’ve always loved stories, getting lost in a good book feels like magic. But lately I’ve realised my mind is always telling stories too… and they’re often not true.

As Cory Allen says, “Meditation pauses the story in your mind long enough for you to remember that your mind is always telling a story.”

That pause helps me come back to what’s real, here and now.

I’ll soon be running gentle evening online sessions to help guide you in meditation, quiet the stories, and find a little calm within.

Keep an eye out for more details! 👀

Looking forward to leading a workshop for Year 7s who are finding the move to secondary school tricky—helping them settle in, build confidence, and feel more at ease. Please share with anyone you think might be interested 🙏🏼

🌟 Calm & Confident: Helping Year 7s Settle Into High School 🌟

The first half term of high school can feel overwhelming. New teachers, new routines, new expectations — it’s a lot for children to take in. If your child is still finding it difficult to settle, you’re not alone. Many Year 7s feel anxious, nervous, or unsure of themselves at this stage.
That’s exactly why we’ve created our Calm & Confident Workshop. Designed especially for Year 7 children and their parents or guardians, this session offers a calm, supportive space to pause, reset, and find balance together.
In the workshop, you and your child will gain simple, practical tools and knowledge to ease worries, build resilience, and feel more confident. These strategies can be used every day, helping your child feel calmer and more focused — creating the foundations to thrive both in school and as a young person.
Led by licensed Mindfulness Coach, Christine Hope, the workshop will leave both you and your child feeling reassured, grounded, and better equipped for the journey ahead.

📅 Saturday 18th October | 11:30am – 1:30pm
📍 Flow at Instinct Gym, Tarporley
🎟 £40 per ticket (includes one child + one adult)
🌐 Book now at www.enigmawellness.co.uk

Spaces are limited, so secure your spot today and give your child the tools to move forward with calm and confidence. 🌈

Our end-of-summer Calm & Connected workshop for children aged 8–11 was such a joy to run. The feedback has been incredibly positive as you can see!

It’s clear there’s a real appetite for more… and we would love to hear from you.

👉 Would you be most interested in:
✨ Another one-off children’s workshop
✨ A short series of workshops
✨ A focus on exam stress & preparation
✨ A parents-only session with practical wellbeing strategies
✨ A children-only session to build confidence & resilience
✨ Or something else entirely?

Your thoughts will help us shape what’s next so we can offer the most supportive sessions possible. Please pop your ideas in the comments or send us a message 💬

Together, we can help children (and parents!) feel calmer, more confident, and more connected.

These are just a few of the ‘props’ I use in sessions with children, to connect with the present moment, develop emotional resilience, and reduce stress. 🧘‍♀️✨

In my sessions, kids learn simple techniques to help them stay calm, focused, and balanced, whether they’re at school or at home.

By teaching mindfulness, we help children:
💡Improve focus and concentration
💖Build emotional awareness and
regulation
🌱Cultivate kindness, empathy, and self-compassion
🧘‍♂️Manage anxiety and big emotions
Boost overall well-being and
happiness.

These sessions create a nurturing environment where children can explore their feelings and build essential life skills in a fun, interactive way. 💫

If you’re interested in giving your little ones the tools to thrive, with online and in person sessions, message me for more details. 🦋
