✨ Today at our Family Wellbeing Workshop ✨

Today we got creative and made our own stress-relieving bath bombs 🛁💜

It was such a lovely session filled with laughter, creativity, and a chance for families to slow down and spend quality time together. Everyone chose their own colours and scents to create a calming bath treat to take home and enjoy.

Workshops like this are all about supporting wellbeing, building connections, and learning simple ways to relax and look after ourselves.

We can’t wait for the next one! 🌙✨

🥋✨ Last night’s self-defence session was next level ✨🥋

We focused on floor work — learning how to stay safe, stay strong, and take control even when you’re down on the ground 💪

Because real confidence isn’t just about standing tall… it’s about knowing you can handle yourself in any situation 👊

The room was full of focus, courage, and determination 🔥

And to finish? We switched it up with a game of Bulldog 🐶💨

Lots of laughs, lots of energy, and plenty of teamwork — the perfect way to end the session 😄✨

So proud of everyone who showed up, pushed themselves, and stepped outside their comfort zone 💛

This is what empowerment looks like 💫

As the mid point of the year approaches I wanted to share some of the work we have been involved in 🔥

From delivering boxing and self defence at schools, community events, youth clubs and our very own self defence free teens class this last 6 months has been incredible.

We have engaged with over 175 young people and delivered in excess of 30 sessions!

I could not be more proud of the growth I have had the pleasure of witnessing.

To all the young people I have encountered thank you for being you and bringing your enthusiasm. I have loved every minute 🥰

Thank you to friends and business’ for your help and trusting me.

Let’s keep the momentum going as we head into the second half of the year 🥳🥳

New projects coming up:

💫 Aura project - featuring crystals, journaling, essential oils, herbs, soap, candles, cream making workshops and much more ❤️

🔥 ADHD Research project- we are looking for 5 more young people 11+ to join us for 6 weeks where will look into how sport, massage, Nada, reflexology and Indian head massage helps or not with ADHD. If interested please message for details.
