Our previous wellness days...

Guest Feedback... "On the last Wellness Day that I attended we were given a timetable of events throughout the day. There was an exercise section, but dont be put off if you're a stranger to exercise! Jody catered for chair based & floor based exercise. Included in our day were drinks & shakes, a  face pack... with face cloths available to wash it off. There was a mindfulness part too. For those who wanted to after the indoor session had concluded, their was an opportunity to get out in the fresh air for a planned walk which took about an hour. Make sure to dress weather appropriate seeing as it can be temperamental around Derbados!" Helen AW, Derby.

9. Do I need to lie on the floor? No. All sessions are chair based, however if you would prefer to sit or lie on the floor, please bring along a mat or towel.

10. Who will be attending? As I regularly coach mainly women who are looking to lose weight, those are the sort of people who attend, however it is open to everyone.

11. Can I attend if I am physically disabled or have limited mobility. Yes all levels can take part in all our sessions as I have years of experience working with the not so fit.

12. What nutritional information will I be given? The food and drinks provided will all be nutrient dense and show you how you can enjoy a day of food that nourishes your body and mind with all the nutrients it needs. Plus in the goodie bags we provide a meal plan if you need any guidance. I am also available to provide 1:1 coaching outside the days if you require more support.

13. How will the day help me sleep better? The food and drinks provided chemically help stay balanced, plus the physical activities help your body relax and want to rest and recover at night.

14. How will the day help me achieve my goals? Practically we will do all the things involved in a daily healthy lifestyle. Mentally I provide accountability trackers to help you keep on track. I’m also available for 1:1 coaching outside the days if you need someone to regularly check in with you.

15. Do you have an example of the dance fitness class? Yes…

16. Why might we need electrolyte suppliments? To keep our body in balance to help us absorb water and stay hydrated.

17. What’s in the protein shakes? This is the > brand with the ingredients list… 

18. Why do you recommend protein shakes? Although they are processed food, I believe the benefits out weight the negatives and for the short term (a few years) or occasionally long term, they help me and my clients achieve our health and wellness goals.

19. Why huel? I’ve tested every shake on the market, and in balance these are the best for convenience, quality, taste, cost and nutrients. Plus they have the most fibre of all the shakes in the UK. They do contain grains and seed oils, but again, apart from this they are nutritionally complete and don't contain soy or artifical sweeteners like most of the others on the market.

20. Do you have any example of the seated stretch? Yes, however you will sit on a chair not a ball… 

21. Why do you recommend the higher in carb savory meals? Although nutritionally the shakes are low carbs and contain more beneficial nutrients, many people want something savory but with the same convenience as shakes, this is where occasional savory meals can be very useful to help you stick to your health goals.

22. Why is CBD helpful? Many of my clients use “Medical cannabis” products to help them with aches and pains from arthritis, fibromyalgia, etc, plus it helps them relax and sleep. I am being led on this one by my clients results.

23. What does the body scan involve? You can optionally go on my body composition scales which tell you…

To do this you just need to tell me your height and age, plus stand on the fancy scales barefoot for a few seconds. This will be done in a private room. And your results will be sent to you via WhatsApp a few hours after the session.

If you would like to buy your own scales like this so your can monitor your progress regularly, and see on the free app what are your healthy ranges, here is the > link… 

24. What’s in the face masks? Brands we use vary so please check the packaging before use if you are wary of certain ingredients.

25. What is the relaxation session? We usually use a guided audio, here is an > example…

26. What’s in the protein snacks? We use various kinds, usually bars and usually gluten free where possible. They are not as nutritionally beneficial as the shakes, but again my clients report they help they stay on track and get their protein in.

27. Why is magnesium important? Firstly it’s an electrolyte to help you stay well generally. Secondly in a certain strength and quality like in our drinks, they can help you calm down and sleep.
