Local Author: Katie Brown

Join local author Katie Brown as she discusses her children's book, The Relaxation Rainbow: guided visualisations for children.

There’s something magical about rainbows – and especially The Relaxation Rainbow! This is a colourful journey that takes the reader and child on a series of imaginative adventures… evoking a sense of calm and promoting a range of positive emotions – from resilience and hope, through to optimism and empathy. 

Each Guided Relaxation is associated with a colour of the rainbow, using colour therapy, yoga and simple breathwork. This colourful book is a treat for the eyes, mind, body and soul – the ultimate bedtime reading and the perfect way to send your children (and possibly you!) into a beautiful dream-filled sleep.

Enjoy a discussion with Katie, including some guided relaxation and simple yoga moves in this session.
