Local Classes
Do you worry about your child?
Children are experiencing problems with sleep, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem and these are issues I can help with. There are also many children refusing to attend school who I would like to support. I believe that early intervention is important for children’s well-being and may prevent problems from occurring later in life. Relax Kids helps to achieve this, and it is fun!
Schools
Do you have concerns about some of your children’s wellbeing?
Are you looking for someone to help them?
Perhaps you would like to offer support to particular children, maybe those facing exams, SATs or personal issues.
I can offer a tailored service to meet the needs of your group or school. For example, I could create a series of classes for a set of children who are showing heightened anxiety or a set of 4 sessions for one child struggling to settle in class. Some schools are also offering Relax Kids with Karen as an after-school club with selected children receiving funded places.
Some schools use Relax Kids to cover PPA productively.
Every series of classes follows a theme. This theme can be set to enhance a current curriculum subject or a topic of your choice. Alternatively, I can make suggestions to suit the age of the children. I have covered My Monster Emotions, plants, Romans, dragons, Autumn, bread-making, Inside-Out, sports, space and many others.
Groups and Societies
Young people involved with competitive sports and activities benefit from Relax Kids with Karen sessions tailored specifically to their sector and age.
The use of affirmations, breathing techniques and meditations combine powerfully to improve both performance and mental well-being. Games and massage are used to enhance relationships within teams and to build everyone´s self-esteem.
Contact me to discuss how I can support your group.
Private personalised session
Does your child suffer with particular mental or physical health problems? Are they struggling to settle at school or home? Perhaps they are restless, anxious, hyperactive or just want to try something new?
Sometimes, a child needs a little more support and Relax Kids has developed a specific programme for private sessions. This means that your child gets my full attention in sessions that have been tailored to their specific needs.
I am a fully qualified Relax Kids Coach and can help your child connect with their emotions, learn to regulate their responses and to move more confidently. Each time, I follow the 7-step pattern: movement, games, stretching, self-massage, breathing, positive affirmations and deep relaxation/visualisation. This is a system which has been researched and shown to have amazing results for body and mind.
