Workshops
The MIND Less FULL
Learning to manage stress can be beneficial to both physical and mental health, as well as help to improve sleep and overall wellbeing. In this interactive workshop staff will gain a better understanding of stress as well as exploring their own stress response. The workshop also includes an opportunity to learn practical ways to reduce stress and improve wellbeing through the exploration of simple but powerful mindfulness exercises. This session is suitable for all staff and anyone who has found themselves trying to remain calm amidst the chaos.
Power of Rest
Rest isn’t something that should just happen during school holidays. Nor should it be something we try to cram into a hectic Sunday before the school week begins again. Dedicated downtime is vital to human health. In this workshop, we focus on rest and the essential role it plays in our overall wellbeing, spotlighting its ability to improve concentration, creativity and productivity. We’ll learn about different types of rest, rest deficits and ways to achieve more of it (even on a work day.) We’ll also take a closer look at sleep and ways to get a better night’s sleep.
Menopause Mindfulness
Combining specific elements from our mindfulness and menopause awareness workshops, we’ve created Mindfulness for Menopause. Because there’s stress, and then there’s menopausal stress! Menopause transition puts stress on the body because of all the hormonal changes which are naturally occurring. The good news is, learning to manage your stress really can make a difference. This workshop will offer specific tools to help women reframe their approach to menopause and, ultimately, equip them to better deal with the stress and other symptoms that menopause can bring.
Menopause Awareness
75% of the teaching workforce in the UK is female, which means understanding menopause - a natural transition in a woman’s life - is vitally important to the education sector. According to The Menopause Charity, 10% of women leave the workforce as a result of menopause. In this awareness workshop, we offer a deeper understanding of menopause, including when it can affect women, how it can affect them and routes to managing symptoms both in and out of the workplace. Our aim is to normalise discussions around menopause, empowering women to take control of their health and making sure that the right support is in place that enables them to thrive in the workplace.

Testimonials
“I worked with Julie to co-present a workshop on Menopause Mindfulness. It was so well received by the attendees that I am planning to do many more. Julie delivers methods of using mindfulness practice in menopause in such a practical way, providing helpful and easy-to-remember tools. She is a great asset to the menopause conversation, and her workshops are fun, engaging and so very useful.”

"Julie ran a virtual 'Menopause Mindfulness' workshop for us and it was great to see people in deep discussion and sharing their personal stories. It was so helpful for these women to realise there were so many other people going through the same experiences. I would highly recommend this workshop."
