Weekly sessions, including restful meditations and gentle tension releasing movement began in 2019 and with a new award from the Sport England Movement Fund we can get the word out about how much of a boost they are to people who are over fifty, have long term health conditions, are unpaid carers and benefit from a mindful approach to health and wellbeing.

What participants are saying:

“The session is like a peaceful oasis in my week. While I’m here I feel safe, calm and comfortable”.

“Really enjoy the sessions, they have helped me with physical issues, always go home feeling like I’m walking on air!”

“The session is a real focus for the week, a complete rest and rejuvenate. Cath teaches us how to use mindfulness to help with tension, anxiety and pain in our day to day lives.”

“I always feel energised after the session and sleep really well that night. Being in the group helps me be more excepting of my physical difficulties.”

“Wonderful! So relaxing and rewarding, love it”.

Mindfulness for Health

Earlier this year I was awarded a Wigan and Leigh Carers Centre Training Grant (Wigan Council) to run a Breathworks 8-week Mindfulness for Health Course specifically for Carers with WLCC, in a Leigh venue over September and October. I’m thrilled to be teaching this course that I attended as a participant in 2018, thinking that I would give it a try and doubting it would make a difference to my health. It did make a huge difference to my health and wellbeing! I’m so glad Carers registered with WLCC can do this course for FREE!

Places are limited so follow this link for all the information and booking:

See my Mindfulness page for the great feedback Carers gave about the Mindfulness for Stress Course I taught with WLCC earlier this year.
