“Oh my God… I’ve just had a meeting, and someone said something to me that made me think… you know what? I need to share this journey with you.”
On the 13th of October, Healing Minds & Hearts CIC will be ONE YEAR OLD. 🥹
And honestly… what a year it has been.
Last October, I was setting up the CIC, opening the bank account, figuring everything out…
Then came the grant applications.
And the rejections.
And more rejections.
And more rejections. 😂
But eventually, I received our first funding from Sport England, and that allowed me to start our somatic exercise and breathwork sessions.
And since then…
94 events.
Yes. Ninety-four.
At Bentley Bridge alone, 534 people booked tickets.
In Bloxwich, another 286 people booked.
And now we’ve got Journey to Me — bringing teenagers and families together, creating a space where children and parents can work on themselves together.
And do you know what makes me the happiest?
I started this CIC because I genuinely believed people weren’t always getting the kind of support they needed.
And I also realised something…
Not everyone wants to sit down and talk about their problems.
Sometimes you don’t need to talk.
Sometimes you just need a safe space, a bit of movement, some breathing, some reflection…
And someone to guide you through it.
And I have seen SO many changes in the people who have come to these sessions.
I get messages afterwards telling me what has changed for them, how they’re feeling, what they’ve realised, what they’re doing differently…
And honestly?
That is why I keep doing this.
What started as an idea has become a community.
And this community is SO much bigger than I ever imagined.
So to every single person who has booked a session, trusted me, shared your experience, brought your child, told a friend, supported the CIC, or simply turned up…
Thank you. ❤️
And we’re only one year in.
So… I want your help.
How should we celebrate the one-year anniversary of Healing Minds & Hearts CIC?
Because apparently, I’m going to have to do something BIG. 😂
Drop your ideas in the comments!
And if you want to join one of our upcoming sessions, send me a message or follow Healing Minds & Hearts CIC on Eventbrite.
Here’s to year TWO. 🥂❤️
