Wellness Workshops
Why Attend Wellness Workshops?
Many things in life impact our health & wellbeing, either in a helpful way or an unhelpful way and with awareness and understanding we can discern what things are most helpful for us. It is important that we combine our cognitive understanding with what our body is telling us, all too often we have a cognitive knowing and are not listening to the wisdom of the rest of the body.
Ann, who runs Unity Physiotherapy & Wellbeing, offers a variety of wellness workshops to help you compassionately connect to yourself & your body’s wisdom, regulate your nervous system, and explore what nurtures your wellness & helps you to thrive, essentially returning home to yourself and to wholeness. The workshops offered can have many benefits including increased self-awareness, increased self-compassion, increased self-trust, improved nervous system regulation and a deeper connection to your inner wisdom. Ann has developed the workshops she offers from many years of clinical experience as a specialist physiotherapist & integrative somatic practitioner, combined with self-practice/study. Like all of Ann’s work the workshops are offered in a trauma-informed way.
