My name is Sarah, and I’m an aromatherapist and Special Yoga practitioner based in Chippenham, Wiltshire. I use a combination of
Special Yoga and massage to help children with additional needs become calm and still, and cope with anything they find overwhelming.
As you can see on my Touch page,
hugging and touch lead to many benefits, and can do so much for children with additional needs, so my overall aim is for your child to become
desensitised and more touch tolerant.
SELF-SOOTH
Not only will this help them become more comfortable letting someone else – especially yourself – touch them, but I will also help them develop the skills needed to be able to
self-soothe or self-regulate
their emotions.
Being able to self-soothe, become relaxed and produce
an inner calm
by themselves is
empowering for your child,
which will
increase their confidence,
and means that they won’t always have to rely on other people to help them when they need it.
I relish helping children such as yours, and watching how they respond and develop is so incredibly heart-warming. I very much enjoy seeing and celebrating with them/you any changes, however small.
I feel incredibly lucky to be able to call this my work, and to be able to make such an important difference in so many lives.
