Maureen Gildea Therapies & Wellbeing and Flourish & Succeed CIC came together recently to deliver a successful four week Women’s Wellbeing Programme.
Maureen says ‘I was contacted by Michael Fielding (Tosh) from Flourish & Succeed and asked if I could provide some wellbeing sessions for the Women’s Support Group. After a little thought I designed a four week wellbeing programme for them and sent it over’.
The Women’s Support Group meet on a Thursday morning 10.00-12.00 am at The Craig’s Community Centre. The course was promoted on their social media platform and they had a fantastic response to the programme. New people signed up for the course and now attend the women’s support group regularly.
During the programme a range of wellbeing therapies and techniques were delivered that not only helped the women to experience the wellbeing benefits of each therapy and technique but also empowered them as they could use the techniques outside of the programme.
I’m passionate about teaching the concepts and knowledge that underpins the practical techniques. When we understand we are more likely to implement the changes that benefit us.
Quite often we are running on autopilot and unaware of what and how we feel. These therapies and techniques are essential skills for life and improve our emotional, mental and physical wellbeing.
We evaluated the programme and a couple of things that stand out for me from this question. Q. What are the main thing(s) you feel you are taking away from the course?
Responses
‘Sense of self-worth, techniques to help regulate myself’
‘Felt a bit lost in the past and feel like I have re-connected with myself’
‘The course has been so helpful in every way, understanding myself, my actions towards me and others, amazing course’
‘More awareness of energy to feel calmer, I feel like I’ve learnt a lot and how to feel positive energy and calming techniques’
‘Give off positive energy, feel my confidence growing’
‘I feel the session was amazing! I feel more in tune with myself, more relaxed’
‘Learning how to relax and deal with difficult situations’
‘Lots of calming techniques. Love it everything about the course. Thank you’
‘Understanding of my breathing, my body more relaxing, also mindfulness’
The programme built on the truly amazing work that Flourish & Succeed CIC provide and that impacts so many people, in so many different ways. Their participants really do flourish and succeed and the women’s group is so special.
You get a real sense of empathy, support and community when you walk in… always a hug waiting for you.
Thank you so much ladies for the warm welcome, for being open to trying new techniques and for being so wonderful. Remember if you can see it… you can achieve it… that’s why I believe in YOU!
