🌿 A few more spaces left on our new autumn programme!

We’re super excited about our Nature Nurture a new collaboration between Happy Headwork Community CIC and Penllergare Woodlands Trust.

This free/ donation 5-week programme brings together wellbeing, conservation, and community volunteering helping people feel better while making a real difference to the local environment.
Wellbeing + Conservation = Sustainable Wellbeing

Each week, you’ll:
🌱 Explore a seasonal conservation theme through fun and engaging activities
🧤 Get stuck into meaningful volunteering in the woods and wetlands
🧠 Learn evidence-based psychology to support your mental wellbeing

We’re running two 5-week programmes this autumn:

🪵 Programme One: Woodland Conservation
Mondays | Sept 15 to Oct 13 | 10am–2:30pm

💧 Programme Two: Wetlands & River Conservation
Wednesdays | Oct 8 to Nov 12 (no session Oct 29) | 10am–2:30pm

No experience needed just curiosity, a sense of care, and a willingness to get involved.
Groups are small to ensure full engagement and support, so spaces are limited.

We kindly ask that participants are able to commit to the full 5 weeks.

This project was inspired by the work going on globally towards supporting the Sustainable Development Goals through Inner Development Goals. A symbiotic approach of planetary wellbeing and personal wellbeing! 💚



🌿 GALW AR BOBL ABERTAWE! MAE RHAGLEN NEWYDD AR EI FFORDD!
Rydyn ni’n gyffrous iawn i lansio Nature Nurture, partneriaeth newydd rhwng Happy Headwork Community CIC a Ymddiriedolaeth Coetiroedd Penllergare.

Mae’r rhaglen 5 wythnos am ddim yn cyfuno llesiant, cadwraeth natur, ac gwirfoddoli cymunedol, gan helpu pobl i deimlo’n well wrth wneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol i’r amgylchedd lleol.
Llesiant + Cadwraeth = Llesiant Cynaliadwy

Bob wythnos, byddwch yn:
🌱 Archwilio thema gadwraeth tymhorol drwy weithgareddau difyr a rhyngweithiol
🧤 Cymryd rhan mewn gwaith gwirfoddoli ystyrlon yn y coetiroedd a’r gwlyptiroedd
🧠 Dysgu am seicoleg gadarn ar sail tystiolaeth i gefnogi eich lles meddyliol

Byddwn yn rhedeg dwy rhaglen 5 wythnos yr hydref hwn:

🪵 Rhaglen Un: Cadwraeth Coetir
Dydd Llun | 15 Medi i 13 Hydref | 10yb i 2:30yp

💧 Rhaglen Dau: Gwlyptiroedd ac Afonydd
Dydd Mercher | 8 Hydref i 12 Tachwedd (dim sesiwn 29 Hydref) | 10yb i 2:30yp

Does dim angen unrhyw brofiad. Dim ond chwilfrydedd, gofal, ac awydd i gymryd rhan.
Bydd y grwpiau’n fach er mwyn sicrhau cefnogaeth a chynnwys llawn.
Rydym yn gofyn yn garedig bod cyfranogwyr yn gallu ymrwymo i’r 5 wythnos lawn.

📧 Eisiau gwybod mwy neu ymuno â ni?
Anfonwch e-bost at Alex i drefnu sgwrs gyfeillgar dros y ffôn: Mara@happyheadwork.com

Dewch i wneud rhywbeth da i’n hunain, ein gilydd, a’r blaned. 💚

🌿 Today marks 10 years! 🌿

Exactly 10 years ago today (24/06/25) I qualified as a holistic therapist — and what a journey it’s been.

From those early days of starting out, to building a practice rooted in care, connection and natural healing, I’ve grown so much — not just in skills, but in confidence, clarity and purpose.

To celebrate this milestone, Ymlacio Life is changing to
Helen Cresswell Aromatherapy, Therapies and Training.

This new name truly reflects who I am today and the direction I’m heading — continuing to offer Aromatherapy and my other therapies while beginning to share my knowledge through training, workshops and courses.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who’s supported me over the years. I’m so excited for what’s to come — the next 10 years and beyond. 💚

A huge thank you to for her beautiful logo design and the new website.

Back at Temple Wellness for my second visit, supporting clients with aromatherapy — and today felt especially meaningful. 🌿✨

Being here on the Summer Solstice — the longest, light-filled day of the year — added a beautiful layer of intention and energy to the work. A perfect time for renewal, reflection, and deep connection through scent and stillness. 🌞💛

Grateful for this sacred space and the opportunity to hold space for others on such a powerful day.
