Combine the skin soothing properties of oats with the natural healing and anti-histamine powers of chamomile or marigold. Why not add some lavender or rose to help sooth and de-stress? You can decide your favourite mix to make these simple, but effective and beautiful soothing bath bags. 

1.00p.m. Natural Perfume
Want to make your own special fragrance for yourself or that someone special? This workshop gives you the chance to mix a range of your favourite essential oils in a natural base to make your own unique fragrance.

11:00 a.m.  Rose and Honey Lip Balm
Learn how to make your own lip balm using a pre-prepared infused oil of Rose petals – together with beeswax and Honey to make a beautiful everyday lip balm – an ideal gift for mum or your favourite aunt?

2:00 p.m. Rose and Chocolate Body Butter
I first made this cream for the Ramsbottom Chocolate Festival, and it proved such a hit, I’ve decided to let you have the chance to make your own. Using all natural ingredients, this rich, decedent cream combines the soothing powers of rose with the smoothness of cocoa butter. 

N.B. For the workshops on the 20th November, you will be working in pairs to make your lip balms and creams. 

Hypnobirthing Course

3/11/2010

Dawn Howorth, one of our Psychotherapists will be delivering her highly successful Hypnobirthing course at Vitality + starting in April and run over 5 weeks. 

The Mongan method of HypnoBirthing is a philosophy and technique for achieving a satisfying, relaxing and stress-free birthing. HypnoBirthing teaches you, along with your birthing companion, the art and joy of experiencing birth in a more comfortable manner.

Both the mother and birthing companion attend group antenatal classes once a week for 5 weeks.  Each session is 2½ hours.  These sessions are very supportive, making time for discussion, demonstrations and practice.  Some birthing mothers and companions prefer one-to-one sessions; private sessions are available.

HypnoBirthing Antenatal Classes can…

  • Reduce the Fear-Tension-Pain Syndrome before, during and after birthing
  • Eliminate or greatly reduce the need for chemical painkillers
  • Shorten the first stage of labour by several hours
  • Eliminate fatigue during labour, leaving you fresh and awake
  • Promote family bonding
  • Foster more rapid postnatal recovery
  • Return birthing to the beautiful, peaceful experience nature intended
  • Creates a more integral role for the birthing companion

British Heart Foundation - Heartstart

3/6/2010

 
A big thank you to everyone who attended the two Heartstart courses delivered by The British Heart Foundation at Vitality +. These 2 hour courses are designed to give people emergency life saving skills; they teach CPR, how to help someone who is choking and how to recognise and treat someone having a heart attack . Serious and important stuff indeed, and yet judging by the laughter coming from our training room whilst I've been in the shop, still fun to do! Everyone who attends comes away with a certificate and more importantly, a set of skills that may save someones live one day.  So a big well done to all those who attended.

p.s. And a special thanks to Pat, who with help from the BHF, decorated our window to tie in St Valentines to make February 'Big Heart Month' as Dawn Taylor from Heart Start East Lancs says:  "An inspired combination, and we offer our sincere thanks to Tim and Tracey for the use of the window and for organising not just one, but two training sessions in the treatment rooms over the shop."
