Meet the wonderful people we work with.

Are you planning on coming to an Absolutely Mindful Retreat Day? Use the bio section below to find out more about the amazing people we work with to give you a truly relaxing day.

Liz Pritchard, Blissful Dragon Therapeutic Sound

Liz runs sound and music workshops in and around Wolverhampton and the Black Country.

A sound bath is like a concert with Himalayan bowls, gongs, crystal singing bowls and ends with various therapeutic percussion instruments. It is a passive activity where you lie down and receive the sounds produced by the instruments. This can produce deep states of relaxation and altered states of consciousness such as when going into a deep meditation. This is quite safe and beneficial for the system – cortisol (stress hormone) levels lower, muscles relax and chemicals such as potassium and sodium balance themselves.

Relaxation with sound has proven to be a powerful tool for stress relief, and it has been shown that the effects last longer than with meditation alone. Lying on a comfortable mat for an hour, drifting away to the sounds of instruments is a truly relaxing experience. Those who have experienced a sound bath report feeling refreshed with energy levels restored. So what do you think? Give it a try at one of Absolutely Mindful’s retreat days, or contact Liz directly to find out more.

Kirsty Mack, House Of Colour

House of Colour

Kirsty is an image consultant with House of Colour, and is based in Stourbridge.

Take a moment to step inside your wardrobe, how does it make you feel? Most of us will start our day by opening our wardrobe doors and choosing something to wear. Is it a positive experience, or does it leave you feeling frustrated and stressed? Do you love what you’ve chosen, does it make you feel fabulous, or is it just easy and familiar? The clothes and colours we wear can instantly change our mood and approach to the day. Key to this is making sure that the clothes we wear are true to our authentic self – that they reflect the person inside.

Everything about personal styling and colour analysis  with House of Colour is focused on the individual. Kirsty is passionate about working with people to find their best colours and develop their own signature style  – giving you all the tools you need to be yourself, with confidence.

Hansa, Hatha Yoga Instructor

Hansa is a hatha yoga teacher, born into a yogic family and was lucky enough to grow up watching her father doing yoga postures and breathing exercises every morning and evening. Yoga had become part of her life, so going to India and training to become a teacher was the next natural step. Rather than “doing” yoga, she leads a satvic yogic lifestyle.

With a real interest in making exercise and body movement available for all ages and body types, Hansa decided to add qualifications in teaching keep fit and dance to her skill set; this has allowed her to teach through a variety of mediums.

After teaching for eleven years, she still finds joy in every class she leads and every student she has the honour to teach.
