Physical, Mental and Emotional Wellbeing Series

Sleep is one the four ways we can proactively manage how long we live and our quality of life.

Examining the effects of blue light, seasonal change, an optimal sleep routine and foods to eat for the best night’s sleep, we will look at some of the science involved in optimal sleep and how we can manage the chemicals to support regenerating rest and longevity.

We must never accept that we just don’t sleep or get poor sleep even though it can be a huge challenge through different phases of our lives. This session will empower you to take control of a sleep routine, try some new healthier habits and potentially move sleep to a more regenerative state.

Course Content

• The mechanisms and sleep chemicals
• Obstacles to good sleep
• The impact on the body and consequences of poor sleep and conversely the benefits

The gut is now very commonly called our second brain. Imagine a tree. The ultimate wellness of this tree sits in the roots. For humans this is the gut and all our happy chemicals are manufactured here.

Against a backdrop of a rising mental health epidemic particularly in the young, we are empowered to take control of our own mental health in a number of ways. In this session we will examine how what we eat can impact our mental state not only moment to moment, but into older age.

• An understanding of the way the gut works
• A holistic picture of the body as a mass of chemicals working the right, or wrong way
• An understanding of the right foods to eat to help it support positive mental health

Whether we react or respond to incidents, people and situations in our day will dictate where we are at, at any given time in respect of our chemical body – indeed we are all just a mass of chemicals dictating either ‘wellbeing’ or ‘dis-ease’ in our body. You will gain an awareness in this session of how to notice and then regulate your emotional self. A gift to change your ‘Being Well’, your body’s communication and incorporate heart energy.

Energy is everything and everything is Energy! Coach and Wellbeing Speaker Carey Davis-Munro will lead you through an interactive workshop on raising self-awareness of your emotions, thoughts and feelings, understanding the chemical changes they can trigger and how to move them through your body.

Carey will cover how to pace yourself throughout the day, move through your gears and deal with mood hoovers! We will also practice getting out the Head and into the Heart, to help us make appropriate decisions. Bring your water and full emotional self….

Understanding menopause can be difficult whether it impacts us directly, impacts someone we manage, a partner, or a colleague. In this session, we break down any taboos to look at the myriad of symptoms people may experience, some context and why it is more important than ever to create a scaffolding of support.

According to the Faculty of Occupational Medicine (FOM), nearly 8 out of 10 of menopausal women are in work. It goes without saying therefore that organisations need to be ready to talk about this subject, offer support to those going through it, and provide empathetic and compassionate leadership.

Because it has been a taboo subject for so long, many of us knew very little about the far-reaching implications of these hormonal changes for women or in what way women may experience them. This session will break this down and crack this wide open looking at the wide range of symptoms and how to best move through them.

Menopause is not just a physical change. In many ways the mental and emotional impact can be far more difficult to manage. We understand ‘why’ in this session.
