This is special and I am honoured to join their mission. I love the energy and passion that this much needed charity has, giving compassion, hope and support to those struggling with Autoimmune Arthritis π x
Eeek! This is so exciting!!!!
Without Wings The Manx Autoimmune Arthritis Trust are super delighted to officially announce that the wonderful Sarah from Kind Counselling Therapies has agreed to join our mission!! ππ€
Being able to offer you a safe and compassionate counselling space if you're struggling with an autoimmune arthritis diagnosis (or going through diagnosis), was always central to our work.
This is in recognition of how these conditions can impact your overall life, and how crucial it is to have emotional support to:
π Reduce stress, worry, depression and isolation
π Help you stay more in control
π Reduce the negative effects of stress on your immune system
Counselling is therefore especially important if you're struggling with diagnosis, going through a complex flare, or in any other way feeling isolated or vulnerable due to your diagnosis*
SO... to introduce Sarah and welcome her on-board, we thought you'd like to know a little more about her, so let us present... π’π₯π€
π₯π 'Sarah's fun facts Q & A!' β¨οΈ
Favourite colour and why?
'My favourite colour is yellow π I love the sunshine and one of my favourite things to do is watch the sunrise and sunset - reminding you that whatever is going on in the world, every day is new and we can always reset' π
If you could be an animal, what would it be?
'I would be a dog because my dogs have the best life! They live in the moment, stretch, play, eat, exercise, give love, get strokes, tickles and repeat π. They are also the best therapist as they always listen, never judge or tell anyone your secrets, and they give immense comfort.' πΆ
What's you favourite TV show?
'The best thing I watched on TV was Heartstopper. It is super sweet and cute. I loved the characters, the story, how it represented the LGBTQ community - and my amazingly talented nephew starred in it!!!' πβ¨οΈπ
What's your dream job?
'This is a tricky one because I really do love my job π€ However, I've always been keen on photography and I love travelling and being in nature - so I would love to be a travel/ nature photographer.' πΈ
What's your favourite way to exercise?
'My favourite way to exercise is walking and yoga. I love walking all over the Isle of Man, taking in the beautiful countryside and coastline. We are so blessed to live in such a beautiful place and I instantly feel better when I'm out in the fresh air with nature. I'm also a bit of an on-off runner - sometimes I love it, other times I really don't - but I DO always love the feeling I get when I finish a run! πββοΈπ'
