Mindfulness

Thank you. I’ve felt like I’ve learned a life skill that will help me realise my personal and professional goals. I envisage carrying this experience with me throughout my life – so thank you so much for that.

I totally recommend this class if you are worried about your childs emotions around the 11+. My son is not panicing about the exam but definitely has some anxiety along with his hormone surges not helping the situation. He really enjoyed the class. He bounced out full of beans, eager to teach me the breathing exercises he had learnt. It has given him simple tools & tips to be in control of his own feelings and boosted his confidence to give it his best shot. Seeing the work sheets he did has given me an insight into how he feels about the exam which is a tremendous help as he has not been willing to talk to me about it. Thanks Natalie, job well done!

Last Thursday my son attended a mindfulness class at Do It Like A Mother HQ. A normally outgoing cheeky boy, he has suffered from anxiety that gives him crippling migraines for the last year. As a mother it’s been tough to witness and be so helpless as we never know when a situation might trigger them and between the family, school, GP and friends we have tried every remedy and fix going. He came out of the class chirpy and the very next day I saw him putting what he had been taught into action…and for the first time in months he managed the anxiety headache and wasn’t sick…he was amazed, I was amazed and thankful to Charli Davies at DILAM for flagging the course to me, and for Natalie the course leader for her ‘magic’. The course was titled to be around 11+ , his anxiety isn’t necessarily 11+ related so I urge anyone with an anxious child to sign them up. Could be the best 1.5 hours you’ve spent all Summer. The next one is on Tuesday I believe.
