Struggling to Switch Off at Night?
Feeling exhausted but your mind keeps racing?
Do you:
– overthink at bedtime?
– struggle to properly relax?
– wake feeling tired?
– feel mentally “on” all the time?
– find it difficult to quieten thoughts and switch off?
Come and join us for our Sleep Better Workshop with Aromatherapy
You’re not alone.
So many people feel physically drained but mentally “stuck on,” especially when stress, overwhelm, anxiety, busy lifestyles, or emotional pressure have built up over time.
That’s why we’ve created this gentle and supportive Sleep Better Workshop.
This calming workshop combines mindfulness meditation, relaxation techniques, guided practices, and aromatherapy to help settle both mind and body — creating better conditions for rest, relaxation, and sleep.
A Gentle 2 Hours Just for You
This workshop is perfect for anyone who is feeling:
- struggles to switch their mind off at night,
- experiences overthinking, worry, or racing thoughts,
- feels stressed, anxious, or mentally overwhelmed,
- wakes feeling tired and unrested,
- finds it difficult to properly relax,
- wants practical tools to help calm the mind and body,
- wants to feel calmer, more settled, and more rested.
This workshop is the perfect way to:
- switch off (especially if you find relaxing difficult),
- relax and take time out for you,
- feel calmer and more relaxed,
- feel less stressed, anxious or worried,
- Gain tools to help you navigate a better nights sleep so you wake refreshed,
- Create a tool box using aromatherapy to support you when you need it at home,
Give Yourself Permission to Pause
Sometimes sleep difficulties aren’t just about sleep.
Sometimes the body has simply forgotten how to fully relax.
This workshop is an opportunity to step away from the busyness of life for a few hours and give your nervous system the chance to slow down, reset, and rest.
Create Your Own Sleep Pillow Spray
As part of the workshop, you’ll create your own calming aromatherapy sleep pillow spray blend to take home. Guided by Shelley you will learn about the different uses of essential oils and how they can help you.
Using essential oils that you are naturally drawn to and feel may help support you best — whether that’s helping you feel calmer, more relaxed, grounded, comforted, or able to switch off more easily before sleep.
Your spray can then become part of your evening routine at home, helping create a gentle moment of pause and relaxation before bed.
A simple but powerful way to continue the relaxation beyond the workshop itself.
Want to know what the workshop has in store for you? Here is our plan for the morning:

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.”
