What I love most about Relax Kids is that it does not only focus on the mind or only on the body. It is a holistic approach to healing and wellbeing for the brain, mind and body. And there is plenty of studies and evidence to support the positive results it has in ourselves and children. 

Relax Kids uses a unique method to take children from high energy and stress levels to a state of relaxation that has been shown to have a positive impact on children’s mental and emotional health and wellbeing. The process involves movement exercises, social games, stretching, peer or self massage, breathing exercises, affirmations and relaxations including visualisations, mindful and autogenic exercises, all elements of which are evidence-based and play an important part in self-regulation. Sessions are fun, interactive and inclusive and enable the child to engage and to fully experience the change for themselves. The 7 steps have been shown to have a positive affect on children’s mental and emotional health and wellbeing.

The Relax Kids 7 steps are laid out in a certain order to work with children’s natural energy systems. The movement and games stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, stretching exercises encourages their muscles to stretch and stimulates the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Massage helps release oxytocin and ‘happy chemicals’ such as serotonin and dopamine and breathing exercises stimulate the vagus nerve and lowers the stress responses. Positive affirmations further encourages the release of endorphins as children think and speak positively and finally the relaxation and visualisation exercises at the end, allow children to calm their inner alarm system and get into a state of deep relaxation.

Relax Kids aims to give children access to a variety of simple, yet effective techniques for relaxation, mindfulness and stress management that are developed and delivered in a fun and creative way. I believe that relaxation, mindfulness and a positive outlook are the keys to good mental health, self-esteem and emotional resilience. 

My mission is to give children and young people the support and tools they need to help them manage stress and anxiety and to be more resourceful when facing the challenges of daily life.
