Mindset for reinvention
Laura Coleman is the founder of www.bemodernmeditation.com and applies very contemporary Brain Training techniques in her Meditation philosophy. The need for Meditation in the Modern time-poor world we live in has never been more necessary and the Midlife point is a key time to re-group mindset wise to ensure our thoughts are clear and uncluttered.
Often in all the busy-ness of “doing” our life, we lose touch with who we are. Overwhelm can creep in and it can feel hard to know where we’re going. On the outside, often we look fine but inside we don’t feel it, with a mind that never stops thinking. Over time, that nagging sense that something isn’t quite right or that maybe there’s more to life gets louder. That’s where meditation can help. Far from being just a “feel good” activity, meditation has been proven to reduce stress, depression and anxiety and increase immune function, focus and attention. Leaving you more able to handle life and with a renewed sense of who you are and where you want to go. This session will demystify meditation so you can learn not just how to do it but also the science behind how and why it works. You’ll leave with a fresh perspective on meditation and with tools to make it part of your modern, busy life.
Nourishing Children & Female Hormones
Lucinda Miller is founder of www.naturedoc.co.uk and Author of the hugely acclaimed Book "The Good Stuff". As a Functional Medicine specialist, she will be taking talks on two areas; "Nourishing Children" and separately a session on "Female Hormones"
Nourishing Children
Bringing up children can be a rollercoaster ride and this is compounded by the rise in anxiety, behavioural problems, learning difficulties and poor immunity. Recent medical research has found that when you nourish bodies, minds and souls with proper food, you are building the health and resilience which everyone needs to stay happy, focused and well – even when life sends its inevitable challenges. Since a child’s brain and body development continues until they are well into their twenties, what they eat now lays down the foundations of their future health.
Female Hormones
Post-natal depletion and exhaustion followed by the years leading up to the menopause can be challenging, especially when hormones go out of kilter. Mood and energy levels can be the first areas to be affected and can slowly creep up or strike out of the blue. So it’s often difficult to make the connection between mood changes, sleep disturbance and weight gain with pesky hormone deviations. This is a time in your life to prirotise YOU for once - learn to nourish yourself with simple nutrition strategies and start to feel calm, vibrant and energised again.
Resilience Training
Sally Harding of www.sallyhardingcoaching.com is a truly inspirational lady. We felt compelled to bring Sally in to talk about Resilience as we need it more than ever before at the "Midlife Stage".

Holistic Health
Our bodies are innately wired to heal and thrive given the right conditions. The challenge we face within our modern lives is that we are often bombarded with curveballs that affect our our mind, body and spiritual health.
