For those who have been struggling with the darker evenings, remember that lighter days are coming.

Everybody is different, but spring and summer can be a welcome sight for lots of people.

Over the past 6 months I have been learning my role as an Occupational Therapist within a SEMH school. Trying to understand sensory differences and how best to support the child to access school and lessons. Today, I had a break through. Working with a child who doesn’t understand what their body feels. But they know their head is busy all of the time, they are hypervigilant and cannot sit.

Over a few weeks, we've done sensory circuits, lots of movement, deep pressure. Today we used this 👇, put a peanut ball and small yoga ball in and they rested on a bean bag. Asked for the light to be turned off, mood light turned on and 5 minutes later they were fast asleep.
Safety, containment and deep pressure! Game changer for this dude 🙌.

Great training day at the cotswolds academy. Best thing about a course, is being a client and having the treatment done to yourself 🙌. Very excited to bring this treatment to Balance Therapy 😀

✨️New treatment coming to the therapy room ✨️
Having just experienced this treatment myself, I can say, I'm really looking forward to using this in treatments for others.
As usual my mother will be the guinea pig 🤣! Barbara Hackett

Happy New Year from the balance family!

I wish you all a healthy 2026. Thank you for your support throughout 2025.

This year has been about finding balance. Trying to do what makes me happy. I have taken opportunities that have scared me, and I have been trying to say "no" when something hasn't felt right ( working on this one 😅) . In 2026, I continue to run balance therapy but at a reduced capacity 😊.

Follow your dreams.
Remember you have options.
You only die once ... so live life.
Learn to say no and make time for yourself.

Much love ❤️

🎄Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy 2026🎄

Thank you to everyone who has supported balance therapy this year✨️
It has been a year of change for me; leaving the NHS, starting in a school, children passing their driving tests and applying for university.
Time really does fly by. In 2026, I attempt to live in the moment, be more grateful and take more time out 🥰

✨️Reflecting on this week, it has had it's ups and downs. But one thing I've realised is that we all need to be a little more kind ✨️

Accepting people's personalities and embracing them, even if it is not our "norm". Check in with those people you notice who are struggling.

Kindness is free and actually makes us feel good . 🍁Let that person out of the junction.
🍁Tell that staff member how much you appreciate them and value them.
🍁Tell someone you thought of them.
🍁Text a friend and tell them you 💕 them.
🍁Make someone smile 😃

Thank you to my beautiful friend for being kind and offering football tickets ⚽️ my boys are soo happy.

Thank you to my work colleagues for checking in and making time to listen without judgement.

Thank you to my amazing clients for always being kind ✨️
