LAURA J LEE Stress & Anxiety Therapist

If you're NOT based in Colchester or nearby we can still connect via Zoom.

Today is a full day of online or telephone sessions with clients. Some clients even combine a mixture of in person or online sessions to suit their lifestyle. Others struggle to leave their safe space or have responsibilities which mean they don't get much time for themselves. Together we can make this work 💪

Drop me a message for more info 😊

I love history, I love buildings, I love flowers, I love a tearoom and I love being outdoors (preferably in dry weather!) was the perfect mix of all these things! Someone I met today described the garden as 'healing' and it truly was a magical space (apparently one of the most haunted too 👻)

According to a study published in the journal Nature Scientific Reports, people who had two to three hours a week in nature were about 20% more likely to report high overall satisfaction with their lives than those who spent no time outdoors at all.

I purposefully chose my therapy space to be set outdoors with lots of greenery, flowers, trees, weeds(!) which so many of my clients mention helps them to feel at peace and relaxed during our sessions. 🌳🕊️

I've had to replace these steps into my Therapy room twice in the 4 years I've been here, you can see the wear on them (the paint is on order!).

I thought it was a great visual way to show you how many people have stepped over the threshold into therapy and into taking their power back.

For everyone of those people it has taken courage to make that step. Thank you for trusting me and continuing to trust me with your 'stuff'.❤️

"I came away feeling positive as usual. It's always enlightening in a way that I never envisage when I arrive"

How could I not post this lovely quote from one of today's clients? (Especially when they put it all together with an image of our work space!) 🌞

ONLINE MEDITATION

I know some of you are all over and done with the online zoom 'thing' and I totally understand!

However we always have such good feedback from our online guided meditations that we've decided to continue with them!

* You don't need to engage with anyone and can protect your energies.

* You can make a super comfy, nest space to unwind and you don't need to leave it once the session finishes!

If you take a look at your circle, are you surrounding yourself with people who uplift and support you, who celebrate your successes and offer a shoulder during tough times? 

If it's a 'yes' then fantastic! Do you let those people know how much they mean to you? Maybe take a moment to reflect on those people and why they are around you. What do you mean to each other? 

If your answer was 'No', can you reflect on how that impacts you? How does your circle impact how you feel about yourself? Do you need to make some changes?

You deserve Love, Respect and Support.

You don't have to tackle these things alone. If you need support then please reach out. Sessions are available in person and via Zoom.

SAFE SPACE | For my clients, this is their safe space.

A space they can open up and be themselves.

A space to talk freely

A space to be heard without judgement.

A place to explore themselves

A place to be vulnerable

A place to heal

A place to get their sh*t together!

It means different things to each of them.

What could it mean to you?

A great way to see if yoga is for you ❤️

**FREE** taster Yoga class throughout February

You are invited to come a try one of my Vinyasa yoga classes on a Monday at Prested Hall 9.30-10.30am for **FREE** in February.
Booking is required. Please email: info@bodytrainingsolutions.com

Our class starts with a moment of mindfulness to help settle our minds, letting go of any to do lists or worries, ready to focus on the class. There is then a short breathing exercise to help our minds and bodies to relax.
Each week our class is themed e.g. twists, back bends, deep stretch. Vinyasa Yoga is comprised of a flowing sequence of postures moving between standing and the floor. There is the option for hands on adjustments to help you obtain a better alignment.
Towards the end of our class there will be some stretches to prepare the body to relax as we enter a short meditation. This maybe a guided visualisation story or a listening meditation of our surroundings.
This class will strengthen your muscles and will improve your flexibility, mobility and posture. It will allow your mind to take time out and you will leave feeling relaxed and re-energised.
This is a mixed ability class and is set to gentle music.
There will be no chanting in this class or spiritual aspect.

If you would like to book your space,
please email Sarah: info@bodytrainingsolutions.com

Could my smile be any bigger?!

Happy Sunday from the spa!

Investing in yourself and wellbeing is always a good idea.

Telling ourselves this is a very serious work trip...

This sunshine is giving me all the happy vibes! When it's sun + wind I always fancy a trip to the beach!

When was the last time you went for a walk to blow out the cobwebs?

Getting out in the fresh air for a walk can help improve:

🚶🏼‍♀️Sleep
🚶🏼‍♀️Energy levels
🚶🏼‍♀️Mood
🚶🏼‍♀️Fitness
🚶🏼‍♀️Stress levels

Also if you're working from home that sense of space and physical movement away from sitting in one space, is sooo refreshing.
