Helping Build A Better And Stronger You

There’s no more an important time to ensure you are helping your employees manage their stress levels.  The changes from the pandemic in 2020 have changed many peoples working and personal lives dramatically.  Mindfulness is a simple tool to learn and practise daily to help you keep more focused in the here and now.  To not be ruminating over the past and to stop worrying about the future.  It is known to lower stress, improve your relationships, help people grown with empathy and also help you to recognise the importance of gratitude from simple things in life.

Sessions last around 30 minutes and can be carried out on ZOOM or TEAMS.  Employees will learn techniques to practice daily that help them to breathe better and relax the body and mind.  

Current clients include South Lanarkshire Council, Citizens Advice Bureau and Neighbourhood Networks.

Julie offers a range of services for the individual and also for Workplaces.

If you are in need of support to help with stress, anxiety and depression contact Julie to discuss what would best help you start to lower stress in a natural way.  See also pages on CBT, Yoga, Mindfulness, Nutrition, Personal Training and Reiki.

Workplaces need to ensure they are lowering the risk of added stress at work through working demands, relationships, lack or support or low levels of control.  

It is crucial that Managers and Employees understand their ‘stressors’ in life and how to manage and cope with these both at home and work.  

Workplace sessions can take the following format:

1. Stress Management Training for Managers (full day session)

2. Stress Awareness sessions for Employees (2 hour session)

3. Relaxation or mindfulness sessions (30min – 1 hour session)

4. CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) on a 1-2-1 basis, referred by a Manager

5. Yoga sessions (30min – 1 hour)

We offer a range of approaches that will assist you in managing your weight. The ethos of Absolute Wellness is to really uncover what is causing you to either over-eat, under-eat or make the wrong food choices.

My mum and I two 2 hour workshops with Julie. The first one focused on nutrition, weight management and yoga nidra, the next one focused on yoga and CBT for weight management for me and anxiety for my mum. I cannot tell you the difference I felt personally after the first workshop. I have 3 young children, one of them is on the spectrum and for the past year I have had a constant battle with my weight and I have felt like I have no control of how much I was eating. 

I felt Julie waved a magic wand and something just clicked. I did not dive into a super strict eating plan even though Julie's plan isn't actually too strick at all. I haven't restricted myself I have simply changed my eating habits and introduced exercise into my life. I have lost just over half a stone in 3-4 weeks without doing anything dramatic. It's not all about weight loss, I fell so much healthier/fitter and much more positive and happy. I don't feel as stressed and feel for the first time in a long time that I have control over my eating and stress levels.

I would highly recommend contacting Julie and seeing her different services which could help you. I look forward to more sessions. I could honestly write so much more, I can't thank Julie enough. 

When life becomes overwhelming, or with too many changes, heartache and loss, our minds and body start to suffer.  We may experience intense anxiety, depression, pain and also insomnia.  Recurring negative automatic thoughts can lead you down a spiralling set of outcomes that can affect your relationships, are self-limiting, destructive and affect how you see yourself. 

CBT sessions normally are run over 6 weeks, each lasting an hour and involve you doing some ‘homework’ on yourself.  Each week we set goals and challenge your thoughts and behaviour to change any irrational or unhelpful core beliefs you may have picked up in your life experiences.

Testimonial - Kirsty Fox

I first met Julie at a yoga and stress workshop in early 2020 and decided to continue with her for one to one CBT sessions to help with anxiety and worry. Little did we know that the pandemic would hit a matter of weeks later and all our session would take place virtually! My journey with CBT came at just the right time with so much uncertainty in the world and as someone with health anxiety, learning to rationalise my fears and worry, so it didn't take over, with CBT techniques was such a help. I always felt so much more positive following my hour with Julie each week and the techniques you learn through CBT are really easy to keep going yourself in moments of anxious or stressful times.
