🎉👏 Good luck to everyone getting their GCSE results! 👏🎉

Some words from our Chris,

Sent with celebratory cheer!… 🤗

You’ve all worked so hard to get here, and it is about celebrating you – the effort, the determination, and the courage it’s taken to reach this point. 💪✨

A special shout-out to the amazing neurodiverse students. Your creativity, resilience, and unique way of approaching challenges inspires others. Whatever your results say on paper, remember they don’t define you or limit what you can achieve.

Whether you’re heading to college, sixth form, an apprenticeship, training, or something completely different, this is just the start of your journey. The future is wide open – and your path is yours to create. 🚀🌟

So take a moment to pause, breathe and feel proud of everything you’ve achieved so far. You’ve got this! 🎉❤️

Well what a wonderful week of all things wellbeing we’ve journeyed this week in the Waite household!!!

Samara was absolutely smitten with the Art of Wellbeing project we attended at The Closet, Carliskr@on Thursday, making her paper puppet ‘Samara’

The session was SUCH a stunning example of creative genius; caringly & carefully curated by Cumberland HDRC & West Cumbria’s Rosehill Theatre

Samara was sooo taken & inspired by it, she has been bursting with ideas around compiling some beta creative group offerings as part of the business she has been envisioning birthing ✨💡😍👩‍🏫✏️📚

We CANNOT WAIT to check out their Harbour Fest collaboration with West Cumbria Harbour Commission on Saturday 30th August - a free one-day festival that sees the waterfront transformed into a stage for world-class performance, music, and creative family activities!!!! 💃 🪩 🧜‍♀️

Check out www.rosehilltheatre.co.uk for further info on this, what is SURE to be, fun filled & fantastic day! 💚🩵💜

Hub member Chris, one of our Occupational Therapists, uses LEGO Assisted Therapy as a playful & powerful approach, designed to support children - especially those with autism or social communication difficulties

Playing a great part in developing social & emotional skills, in a typical session, Chris helps guide children to build a LEGO model, each taking on a specific role like builder, supplier, or engineer

Through collaboration, they learn how to communicate, solve problems, take turns & work as a team - & are supported to build awareness of their raw talents

What makes LEGO Assisted Therapy so effective is its natural appeal - most children love building & creating. It turns learning into something fun, structured & social! 😍

Another example of how we focus on strengths, not deficits, to empower individuals to achieve their true potential 🔥

Why saying “don’t cry” doesn’t work & often just increases suffering ⬇️

Not the mention the fact that crying has lots of other benefits such as:

🥲Releasing oxytocin & endorphins (feel-good chemicals that help ease physical & emotional pain & promote calm)

🥲 Activating the parasympathetic nervous system (to help the body rest, digest & soothe)

🥲 Releasing stress hormones like cortisol

Thanks to genmindful for this lovely visual summary 🙏🏼

Sending love for next time you & yours need a ‘good cry’ 🥰🥹🥰

Very excited about this opportunity to share my knowledge of psychosomatics, neuroscience & the breath to serve more around enhancing their sports/athletic performance.

With having no capacity to take on new 1:1 clients around this at present, workshops help me spread this knowledge further whilst providing a fun & sociable means of accessing some support around this.

Join me for a practical in-water & land based workshop on this, on Saturday 27th September.

This full day event incorporates open water swim coaching & education on psychosomatics, neuroscience & the breath; to equip participants with the knowledge & skills to enhance their performance - in the open water & beyond!

Taking place in The Lake District (venue tbc), this also includes a guided walk to help embed learning.

Introductory offer: £39 (if booked within 48 hours) & £50 thereafter.
