Opening Up a World of Possibilities

Free Health & Wellbeing Day

Saturday 22 July: 10am to 5pm

St Thomas’s Church Centre

Words: Suzanne Smith

At Chatsworth Wellbeing Centre we believe that everyone should have an opportunity to find ways to support their health and wellbeing. There is a vibrant community of practitioners, businesses, and specialists in Chesterfield who have the skills and services that can support you to Feel Great This Summer!

What better way to open up your world of possibilities than to come along to our Chesterfield Health & Wellbeing Day on 22 July 2023!

Our “Feel Great This Summer” event is free and open to all. A chance to find out more about what’s on offer locally, to try different therapies and skills, as well as meet specialists in their field.

St Thomas’s Church Centre, Chatsworth Road is our beautiful home for the day from 10am to 5pm.

Our desire to bring all of these people together has been fuelled by an awareness that many people have heard about different therapies, treatments, or activities but haven’t known who to contact or have been nervous about reaching out, especially true if your in the midst of a health challenge.

So, we’ve got you covered if you're curious about ways to improve your health & wellbeing with:

• Complementary therapies to work alongside your medical support or alternative, non-medical options to support you in you want to be supported.

• Ways to improve your general health and fitness, train with a specific goal in mind, rehab an injury or change the things in your life that are causing frustration, resentment, anxiety an unhappiness.

• New skills to support yourself and share with others who are close to you.

• The chance to meet new people and exploring new options.

It’s been our experience that many businesses in the health & wellbeing world exist because their owners want to share the benefits they have experienced with as many people as possible. Not only are these specialists passionate about the changes that they can help others to achieve, they are also extremely well qualified and experienced in their line of work.

We wanted a way to give our health & wellbeing specialists a space to share their knowledge and give you a chance to learn, participate and enjoy. Throughout the day you can join workshop talks on topics including:

• 3 Top Tips to Improve Your Sleep

• Handling trauma

• Connect with Laughter

• Healing Women Through Connection

• Boost Your Energy with Tapping

• The Ripple Effect: How Your Wellbeing Choices Reshape Our Community's Mental Landscape

• Practical Techniques for Managing Anxiety

• Putting Your Boundaries in Place

• Nutrition

In between the workshops you can have a chat with local health & wellbeing businesses sharing their products and services with 20 stands and stalls in the main hall. Full details of who is attending can be found by following the QR code below but here’s a little selection of attendees.

We’ve got beautiful soaps created by Elsie Moss Botanical, sparkling crystals by Jeaneil, Health Affirmation cards for Reconnecting You, handcrafted products made by Lotti as well as personal fitness with Hannah Kendall, health and safety expertise from Pochat Training, mental health awareness with You Are Not Alone, support and guidance for survivors of abuse from The Maggie Oliver Foundation.

You can also have Temple Spa mini facials and hand treatments or eyebrow shaping and mini make overs from Face2Face Beauty Academy happening in the hall.

And if that’s not enough, we thought that it would be great to give you a way to try out different health & wellbeing treatments. It can be a big decision to go for a full session of a treatment or therapy you’ve never experienced before, especially if you're not sure exactly what's going to happen or how it might help you. This is a gentle way to explore different treatments that’s not going to cost a lot and will only take up to 30 minutes of your time.

Our therapists are offering a range of taster sessions for between £5 to £15 each. The mini treatments will include different massage techniques such as hot bamboo, fire cupping, deep tissue, thai stretch massage and reflexology mini treatments.

Also joining us on the day to bring their enthusiasm and joy are Row Spencer of Derbyshire Outdoors who will be running Forest School activities in the grounds and Andre Brevett of Introverted Moves who will be demonstrating his skills as a juggler. You never know, you might even fancy a go yourself!
