Sessions will run for one hour and Carers can enjoy light refreshments and something to eat post session; which can either be enjoyed onsite or you can take away with you.

You are welcome to book for multiple sessions, please only book one ticket (two if you are bringing your Care recipients) our staff will be in touch with you to check how many sessions you would like to attend including your time preference each week. We will do our best to accommodate the time you would like; sessions will be running on the hour from 10am to 3pm.

Type of Event: 

Carers and Care recipients'. We encourage you to bring your Care recipient to enjoy the healing benefits of this wonderful modality.

Please wear comfortable non restrictive clothing i.e. track pants, gym wear, t shirt, etc.

You are welcome to stay by the Carers bedside for the duration of their session. If you are booking for both your self and your Care recipient please note this on the order form in space provided, thank you.
