June is Stress Busting month here at Vitality + and we are holding a series of events and activities to help you get rid of those  unhealthy worries.

Our Chiropractor and Reiki Master, Sara,  is holding a special hour of meditation every Thursday evening during June. Open to everyone, this relaxed session gives you time for you! Sara will guide you through some easy to follow meditation exercises to help you relax and throw off the pressures of work or home. The sessions are just £3 each (inc. refreshments). You are welcome to turn up on the day, but places are limited, so we recommend you book first.

If you are interested in learning more about Reiki for yourself, Sara is also running a Reiki 1 course here at Vitality on Sunday 12th June. On this full day course you will learn how to heal yourself using the energy to heal and balance our mind, body, and spirit. The cost of the day is £85 (inc lunch and refreshments). For More information go to http://www.body-at-ease.com/Reiki_Courses.html 

At the end of the month we are holding a Special Stress and Insomnia Open day. On Saturday  25th June, all our relevant  therapists will be available to discuss the different ways to beat stress  or help you sleep. The herbalists, psychotherapist, counselor and chiropractor can provide advice on a range of treatments and will be offering some free massage tasters to help you de-stress. Why not pop along and talk to us?

Exercise and walking in particular, is a recognised way of dealing with anxiety and stress - so the next day, Sunday 26th June, our qualified botanist and herbalist Tim, will be leading an Aromatic Herbal Walk. Starting with a train ride to Irwell Vale, Tim will follow the river back to Ramsbottom, seeking out wild plants that have a distinctive aroma. Some of them might even help with stress! The walk is around 3 miles and will take about 1-2 hours. The cost is £5 and the train fare is £3.70. Please come along for a relaxing and informative afternoon.

Finally, if your idea of relaxing is being pampered with natural and luxuriant lotions and creams, then we can help there too. During the whole of June we are offering all our Neal's Yard beauty care products at 20% Off. This is to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of  Neal's Yard and help you treat yourself  to a bit of luxury.
