Join us on the 15th March as we discuss Women's Health.

Weight loss tends to be a major focus for many individuals post-festivities at the start of the new year, however often people resort to quick fix solutions and fad diets which are not effective in the long run.

This training facilitates individuals understanding the multi-dimensional components that determine successful long-term weight management - beyond calorie counting and extreme dietary regimens. The session explores mind-body connection, identity and limiting personal narratives - in addition to the practicalities of developing and instilling optimum nutrition and exercise habits as part of daily life.

In recent decades, the extent of nature's therapeutic effects on both body and mind are only beginning to be fully appreciated. Scientists can now quantify with greater accuracy than ever before, the impact of time spent outdoors on all our bodily systems - from hormonal regulation, nerve function and immunity. This translates into significant shifts in mood, cognitive performance and physical health - even after acute bouts of brief exposure. In this session, we will explore some of the emerging research on Blue and Green Exercise, Forest Bathing and Biophilic Design principles that have been shown to significantly boost health and wellbeing.

It's natural to feel sad when we're faced with a difficult situation. But sadness is a temporary emotion and should fade with time - when persistent, sadness can turn into depression.

Allowing ourselves 'not to be ok' at times is essential to our wellbeing. Join our webinar and learn the importance of acknowledging and legitimating your feelings.

With climate change at the fore of global conversation in recent times, there's a surge in public awareness regarding the impact of food production on our environment. As a result, more individuals are making dietary choices, not only based on personal preference and nutritional requirements - but also considering how they might be contributing to the future of the planet.
The rising popularity of plant-based eating and the adoption of a 'plant-forward' diet is a central component of this movement. In this training we explore the many personal health benefits, in addition to the profound environmental value of consuming more plant-based produce.
