Women pampering well-being workshop

Women monthly pampering - Floating Counselling

So many women are feeling isolated, alone, unsure if what they feel is normal or acceptable. Women are in need of a time-out, a relaxing, positive atmosphere.

This monthly pampering workshop is aimed at women, not just mothers. It is facilitated by a professional, qualified counsellor who allows the space to be non-judgemental.

A beauty consultant from #BodyshopCelestina is on hand to give a pampering experience, which could either be a facial, foot or nail spa.

Every few months we invite Shari from Sanctuary Of Well-being to come and deliver massage sessions to a raffle winner on the day.

We have also added another support to this event. To allow women who may not know what support is out there for them either physically, emotionally or financially, it could even be due to difficulty filling in forms like the benefit, etc. Techniques to cutting down household expenses is also offered on the day.
