💛***World Mental Health Day***💛
It’s a long post today - but I PROMISE you, it’s worth the read 💜

At Kalma Life our focus is physical and mental health and well-being. Not only for babies, toddlers and the hundreds of school children we see each month, but of their parents too.

Coming to a class with other parents, having a chat, having a rest while your toddler is fully occupied, bonding with your little one and even enjoying some relaxation time at the end of class could make the world of difference to someone. I know that every time “being mum” has felt overwhelmingly - I’ve always come out of class feeling lighter 💜

💛Therefore, for the week beginning 10th October, ANYONE WHO NEEDS IT, can attend a 💛FREE💛 session in any class that has a space.

WHY? Because we want to get rid of the barriers....

1. If you have never been to a baby/toddler class before and don’t know if you’ll enjoy it - it’s a one off ... Give it a go 😊

2. Financial - I don’t think I need to say more about this, except that we are working with local charities to make regular very low cost classes for those who really need it and may not get that bonding time with baby otherwise.

3. Walking into class on your own. ***CALLING CURRENT PARENTS*** if you wouldn’t mind a new parent dropping you a message, to chat and meet up outside a venue and walk in together, please drop a comment below with which class you attend so that someone new to class could get in touch.

💜 Final note. We don’t mind if you decide not to come again. If you try the class and that helps you to feel happy to try other local classes, then that’s fantastic! If you come once, feel good and connect with other parents, that’s great 😊

If you aren’t attending any baby or toddler classes at the moment and feel like you’d like to come and give it a try, drop us a message and we’ll get you booked in to a session that works for you 💜

(If any other class organisers in the area read this and want to offer the same please drop me a message so I can add you to this post 😊)
