Online Trauma-informed Mental Health First Aid  (16 hours study)

In 2018 the health and wellness market in the UK was valued at 23 billion euros (Statista) and it is not showing signs of slowing down. Shifts in attitude surrounding mental wellness are at the forefront of personal and corporate cultures; we are embracing infusing well-being techniques into our daily life.  Corporations and organisations are making staff wellness a top priority and working in partnership with well-being professionals to improve health and well-being in the workplace. Four out of five businesses have no staff trained in mental health first aid or work related stress.

Ali Mortimer

Health & Happiness Coach, Heal Yourself Happy

I cannot recommend Gail’s online and attendance learning space she creates highly enough. I have found her approach the perfect balance of factual information and creative thought.  Thanks to her teaching I have taken time to read widely and gained so much more than certificates on my therapy room wall.  I cannot thank her enough for the opportunities for growth her courses provide.

I thoroughly enjoyed learning what Gail shared and it was very interesting.  Thank you so much for offering this course online and your guidance along the way

Meditation Teaching Diploma

I was lucky enough to attend mindfulness training with Gail and it was amazing! Not only did it help to develop my own personal well-being but I was confident enough to deliver some sessions to start back in school and develop a scheme of work to teach my own class
