Yesterday I visited Shefford Baptist Church shared space.
I immediately felt welcomed as soon as I stepped inside.
What a wonderful place to connect with friendly people in a comforting and relaxing setting.
I would encourage anyone to go along in the area, to socialise and feel supported.
There is also a social prescriber present, offering guidance and support in your community to make positive changes to your wellbeing and improve your health.
To find out if there is something similar in your area, search for shared spaces through your local council website.

Today we discovered an unknown talent. After collecting flowers from the garden together, the lady I support, took each stem and carefully placed it into the oasis (from an old display she'd been given). She was thrilled after completing the arrangment and called out for her son to have a look. She couldn't stop smiling at her creation. It made my day 😊💐🌸🌹

🌼Many people don't know where to turn when looking for support and care at home.
The thought of having a 'carer' can be quite daunting and it's something that many people might not be prepared for. The idea of having several people visiting at home might not be accepted.

🌼Family carers often struggle with helping support loved ones alongside other commitments. This can be a challenging role. It also takes away the quality time spent with parents, family and partners.

🌼Working in my care role over the past 25 years (in varous settings), I recognised a need to set up my own service, operating on my own. I am passionate about providing a good quality service to support every person, with a focus on well-being, independence and safety.

🌼I offer home visits to adults, encouraging independence without over or under supporting. It is important for me to build trust and confidence in my proffesional role and have an understanding of every person's needs. With this is mind, I create care plans with each person choosing the right support for them. Supporting and liaising with family and health professionals is given where permitted.

🌼With a different approach for every individual, it is important for me to gain an understanding of every person's needs and responses. Laughter can be a great tool as can a gentle approach.

🌼 I offer a wide range of support which can provided in one visit or spread throughout the week.
Perhaps a friendly face and a chat on a regular basis is enough.
A little support with more challenging tasks might make the day a little easier.
A trip to the pub or shops to get out, might make a difference and something to look forward to.
A holistic therapy or some help with exercise may
benefit overall well-being.

🌼I can offer carer breaks, spending time with loved ones and using the time of benefit to offer my support with companionship, activities, home help or therapies.

If you would like to find out more about what I do or how I can help you, please get in touch.

* I am a registered micro provider, operating on my own (non agency). I am unable to visit anyone who is completely reliant on my visit.
* I offer more affordable and reduced rates.
* The first visit is free of charge, which will include a consultation and assessment.

'Caring for everyone as a whole,
Mind, Body and Soul'.

Out and about in Letchworth Garden City 🌳

Although I've not posted on here for a while, I'm still actively busy, supporting people to keep independent and safe in their home and local area.

With a focus on well-being, I encourage the people I support to get out and about where possible
🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

I discovered this park recently and it's become a firm favourite for the lady I support, whilst her family member has a carer's break🌻🌳

Getting outdoors is so beneficial. There's equipment here for many abilities but if using it isn't possible, getting out in nature is a wonderful benefit. Watching the dogs on their walks, children playing or looking at the wildlife is always enjoyed 🐕🌤

There is plenty of free parking here and places nearby to have a drink or something to eat☕️🍰

Today I am trying out Aquapaint from Relish with my service user. This is such a wonderful idea. I'm really impressed. The added bonus is that the sheets can be used again and again. This has been a fun activity which has brought a lot of smiles and some much needed calm. I will definitely be looking at the other products to try.

Details of my new treatment, now available -
Orthopedic Reflexology 👣
Taught by Spiros Dimatrakoulos, the founder of Orthopedic Reflexology.

🌸My new treatment is available to all adults at home with a care need, and those with a physical or mental health issue.

🌸Orthopedic Reflexology is based on the teachings of Hippocrates and Galen's. Translating as "Ortho" - to stand, "Pedis" - feet, or to bind and stand.

🌸After an assessment of the foot's tissues and reflex areas, the feet are treated by using rubbing techniques (Antrapis), massage and mobilising the joints, using the correct amount of pressure and time. Foot conditions can be treated to alleviate symptoms, such as:
Bunions, hammer toes and plantar fasciitis.

🌸 The training is an in depth course, teaching anatomy of the feet, looking at the skeletal structure, muscle layers, connective tissue, nerves and tendons.

🌸This practice is a welcome addition to my existing treatments, enabling me to treat my patients in a holistic manner. Treatments can be carried out on the couch, reclining chair or in a suitable armchair with footstool.

Please see my website for more information.
