Workshops For Schools.

When I left advertising in the early 90’s my choice in my future career came down to following my passion in health and wellness or the joy of becoming a teacher in schools. My friends in education advised me that given I was leaving advertising partly down to burn-out I probably wouldn’t cope with the stress of being a teacher. So, I sold my house to pay for my Osteopathy training but my desire to make a difference in the emotional and physical wellbeing, and to educate and inspire remains. Hence all workshops for schools are free of charge.

Workshop content

There are specific workshops for key stage 1, key stage 2, or different age groups at secondary schools, and for parents and teachers too. The core content of the workshops contains education about sleep, food, and exercise. For primary schools, the communication is bite-sized and easy to understand. For secondary schools, parents, and teachers the workshops include the latest sleep research and cover how to balance study and wellness needs including developing resilience to manage stress. All workshops can include practicing breathing exercises, meditation, and relaxation techniques

Here’s what teachers have said about this workshop

Richard White *Director of Sixth Form South Hampstead High School*

Dave gave a great talk to our Lower Sixth about sleep. The girls were engaged throughout and enjoyed how knowledgeable Dave was and the detailed scientific approach he took to explaining their patterns, why they want to behave as they do and what they can do to try and improve their sleep. We are already looking forward to having Dave back with us again next year.
