Today is World Su***de Prevention Day 🕊️
A reminder that every life matters, every voice matters, and every struggle matters. 💛

You are not alone.
You are not a burden.
Your story is still unfolding, and your presence in this world makes it brighter. 🌍✨

Let’s break the stigma around mental health and create space for compassion, listening, and hope.
Reach out to a friend. Check in on someone. Share kindness—you never know whose life it may touch. 💬🤝

✨ First week back at school ✨

New routines.
New teachers.
New people.
New smells, sounds & textures.

It can feel exciting… but also a little overwhelming. 🦋

This week, let’s remember:
💛 It’s okay to feel nervous.
💛 Everyone is adjusting in their own way.
💛 A little kindness – to others and to yourself – goes a long way.

To all of you from all of us at Dragonflies Multi-Sensory Therapy: You’ve got this. 🌈

✨ 1-to-1 sessions in another care home today ✨
What a truly lovely experience – surrounded by soft lights, calming scents, soothing music, and gentle massage. 🌸🎶💆‍♀️

The atmosphere was so peaceful and relaxing that one client drifted off into a little nap 💤 – the perfect sign of deep relaxation and comfort. 💖

Always a joy to bring moments of calm, happiness, and wellbeing to the people we care for. 🌟

🌟 Multi-Sensory Therapy in care homes doesn’t always have to be calm and quiet… and that’s the beauty of it!

One of today’s 1:1 sessions turned out to be a little noisier and livelier than usual. The client (non-verbal) was full of energy and in a very active mood, so instead of resisting it, we embraced it. 🎶✨

We turned up the music, brightened the lights, and had a good dance and shout together — letting that energy shine! Afterwards, we gently slowed things down with some soothing light massage and calming relaxation, helping them settle for the rest of the day. 🌈

Person-centred sessions really are the best — meeting people exactly where they are and making every moment meaningful. 💜

📦 Wigan friends - we need a bit of help!

When I started Let’s SHAPE Our Creativity, I used to store things on one shelf in my garage. Now… it’s exploded out of there, has its own large shed, completely taken over my office, my utility room, dining room and working its way on my living room🙈

I love what I do, but at the moment I’m living in a craft shop – and not in a good way! I’m looking for a small, safe, dry space locally to keep some of our things between sessions.

It could be a cupboard in a hall, a corner in a church, a bit of a community centre, open to suggestions. Affordable or community-friendly rates would be amazing.

If you know anywhere who might be able to help me rescue my home from the craft invasion, please drop me a message or tag them below 💛

Thanks in advance.

Good to be back after a wonderfully relaxing two-week break! 🌿✨
With schools still out, today we focused on sensory sessions in care homes — and what a joy it was. 💛 Lots of smiles, lovely catch-ups, and meaningful moments.

Our 1-to-1 sessions included gentle light massage, exploring different textures, calming relaxation and meditation, and enchanting light shows. A truly soothing day for everyone involved. 🌸💫
