Hello one and all

Welcome to my blog.

My name is Jane and I am an accredited life coach and yoga teacher.  As my speciality is health this blog is going to be about the healing circle I run. 

What is a healing circle and why would you want to read about it?  Well a healing circle is a group of people that get together to learn about how to enhance their health and happiness.  Because of the emphasis on 'circle', and my background in coaching it differs from a traditional class/learning environment.  I raise my members' awareness and encourage them to take responsibility for their health and then take action.  I then ask them to share their experiences so that their knowledge is pooled and they become self-supporting.  It's all very informal and a tremendous amount of fun.

But we will save all the details for another time.  You are going to want to know more about me first.  So what got me into this game?  Well I spent many, many years chronically ill with ME and being a normal girl that wanted to get back to life, dancing, music, guys and good food asap I became a bit of a seeker of all things happy and healthy.  You name it I tried it from having people chant over me whilst waving their hands about (long before it was en vogue to be experimental) to walking on fire (honestly!).  After being made aware that my dinner party conversations were turning into mini seminars I realised that I had picked up a thing or two on my health-seeking jaunts and it might be nice to pass this on.  So I here I am, one healing circle and blog later, inviting you to share in our journey, read about our members' successes and my experiences of working with them. 

Adventures are afoot and I say bring it on!

Thanks for reading about us today and do keep checking back to see how we are getting along.

In health and friendship

Jane
