Feeling tired distracted or as though your mind is full
Do you find yourself starting the day with plenty to do, but struggling to find the energy or focus to get going?
Perhaps you move from one thing to another, find it difficult to concentrate or reach the end of the day feeling drained, with little time left for yourself.
When work, family and everyday responsibilities take up so much of our attention, it can be difficult to pause and notice what we need.
Give yourself a morning to step back, refresh and refocus.
Come and join us for our Energy and Focus Workshop with Aromatherapy
A Gentle 2 Hours Just for You
This workshop is perfect for anyone who is feeling:
-
tired or low on energy, with little left for themselves,
-
they find it difficult to concentrate due to brain fog or mental fatigue,
-
their mind feels busy, cluttered or pulled in too many directions,
-
they move between tasks but struggle to focus or finish what they started,
-
they would like a little time to recharge, but find it difficult to pause when there is always something else to do.
This workshop is the perfect way to:
-
pause and give yourself some breathing space,
-
take time out to refresh and reconnect with yourself,
-
explore ways to feel clearer and more focused,
-
notice what drains your energy and what helps you feel replenished,
-
learn simple mindfulness tools to help you bring your attention back during a busy day,
-
create your own personalised aroma stick with fresh, invigorating scents to use at home or on the go.
Step away from that constant mental list.
Give your busy mind a little breathing space.
Actually make time for you when normally you tell yourself you’ll pause once everything is done… But there is always something else.
Work.
Family.
Responsibilities.
Messages.
Decisions.
This morning has been created as a gentle pause.
A little time to recharge.
To reconnect with what you need.
And to return to your day feeling refreshed and ready to refocus.
Want to know what the workshop has in store for you?
What will we explore
Understanding your energy and attention
We’ll take time to notice the everyday demands that leave you feeling mentally tired or pulled in different directions.
You’ll be invited to consider when you feel most focused, what interrupts that focus and where small pauses could fit into your day.
Simple mindfulness tools for everyday life
Gemma will guide you through accessible practices that give you the opportunity to pause, settle and bring your attention back when your mind wanders.
You’ll explore ways to approach a busy day with more awareness, including taking a mindful break and returning to a task with a clearer sense of what needs your attention.
There is no need to empty your mind or get meditation “right”.
Aromatherapy with Shelley Baker
Shelley will introduce essential oils selected for the energy and focus theme, helping you explore fresh, invigorating scents and choose a combination that feels right for you.
You’ll learn how to use your aroma stick and how to include it in a simple daytime ritual — a moment to pause, breathe and refocus.
Create your own personalised aroma stick
With Shelley’s guidance, you’ll create a bespoke aromatherapy inhaler, also known as an aroma stick, using your own choice of essential oils.
Similar in design to the familiar Vicks inhaler, your aroma stick will contain a blend of fresh, inviting scents chosen by you.
Small and easy to carry, you can keep it in your bag or nearby during the day, ready for a moment when you’d welcome a refreshing pause.
It’s a practical way to take a little of the morning home with you — and a gentle reminder to make space for yourself during a busy day.
Your personalised aroma stick and all the materials needed to make it are included in the workshop price.

Not sure if this workshop is for you? Here are what some of our client’s said about their experiences of workshops and meditation
“Thank you for a great session. I have made use of my rollerball at work today.”
I have really enjoyed this first step into Meditation. Life is busy and I didn’t think that I would be able to switch off. Gemma takes time explaining the process.”
“I have generally felt a lot calmer and more positively focused on what I want to achieve this year. I have also found it easier getting to sleep. I also really enjoyed learning about Aromatherapy from Shelley and creating a bespoke rollerball for myself (which I have been using every day).”
“Your aromatherapy session was lovely, I appreciated having practical tools I can actually use.”
