Introducing Dylan Zack
Guided relaxation teacher

Call it meditation, relaxation, or disconnection, it all really revolves around being able to remove yourself from our busy lives, stresses, and looping thought patterns for a brief time.
I have practiced this personally for years, and it has been extremely helpful in dealing with all the things in life that can wear one down; this practice allows you to reset and give you a break from yourself and all your swirling thoughts.

Introducing Saffron Ritzmann
Stretch Teacher

As an experienced remedial massage therapist, Saffron has learnt that mental stress, fatigue and exhaustion lead to tension in the muscles, joints and connective tissue. Once clients become aware of the pain, tightness, and stiffness in their bodies, mindful stretching can help clients focus on releasing their restrictions in a safe and supportive way. This connection between the mind and the body needs to be in balance so we can feel healthy, stable and centred. This stability can benefit us in many areas of our lives.

Welcome to the LIFT ME UP program!
The LIFT ME UP community program is designed to help people who are struggling with mental health concerns, to provide a service and environment where they feel safe, cared for and have the opportunity to share their experiences with others.

The program includes a support group to address the participants concerns, followed by a gentle mindful stretch class to release tension from the body. Then a guided relaxation to bring the mind and body back to equilibrium. The participants are guided by three experienced practitioners.
