Wellbeing at School
Schools are a place of friendship, laughter and creativity - however too often than not they are also a place of stress, anxiety and mis-understanding.
I specialise in bringing calm to a variety of settings and work with both individuals and groups to help them regain control of their anxiety and stress. I teach about the body as well as moving it, help young people to understand how they can feel calmer in their bodies by using simple techniques to centre them and also bring valuable movement where required to help those young people who maybe aren't engaged with other physical activities.
Packages
All sessions to take place within the school - currently serving NG and DE postcodes.
Individual Sessions
These will normally be targeted at pupils who need extra support and are struggling in the system.
My support will help them to:
-
find their calm more quickly and remain there
-
understand how their own body can both hinder and help them with their mental health
-
find the space to regain focus
These sessions will always be tailored to the young person's needs after an initial consultation.
Small Group Sessions
These could be a one-off or regular session with a small group (up to 8 young people), usually lasting for 50-60 minutes to fit with the timetable.
Normally targeted at those who need extra support or are going through exam periods and need to release some tension.
We will do movement tailored to the group, along with breathing techniques to teach the young people how they can centre themselves more quickly
Pupil workshops
With a slightly larger group - up to 30 young people, workshops will last around 90 minutes.
The young people will learn to:
-
use their breath to both focus and bring calm
-
stretch their body in a way that works with their nervous system to allow better mobility, balance and strength
-
be more aware of the ways in which the systems of their body & mind work together
Time for Teachers
A 50-60 minute session for teachers which can be arranged either during school hours or after school.
The tension teachers carry to help keep the school running smoothly can impact the whole environment if it is not managed well. This is a space for the teachers to let go a little and come together, improving staff relationships, reducing absenteeism and boosting creativity and understanding.
