Residents recently enjoyed a wellbeing session led by Sophie who created a serene and rejuvenating atmosphere, where she introduced them to a variety of therapeutic musical equipment. The room was filled with the gentle hums of Tibetan singing bowls which support residents to let go of their stresses and promote their inner wellbeing and health.
