Workshop: Your body’s potential - a 10/20 year vision
2 days, 2 locations, 14 workshops to over 150 employees
It was a privilege be part of this diverse programme and audience at Glidevale Protect/Building Product Design Limited’s annual Health and Safety days.
Our contribution "YOUR BODY'S POTENTIAL : A 10/20 YEAR VISION" focussed on YOU recognising a future where your body/health is thriving.
With the importance of taking things back to basics, this interactive workshop covered strategies for optimal health with an emphasis on:
- real food;
- ways to move more to bring mobility, balance, strength and energy back to your mind and body; plus
- understanding the incredible benefits that 'play' brings to social connection, stress reduction, mindfulness and enjoyment of life.
Great learnings throughout the day from the audience interaction, sharing and contribution in all 14 sessions.

Workshop: PRINCIPLES OF A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
On 18th July, 2023, I delivered an online Government department workshop to over 100+ people.
I had everything prepared, confident with content relevance, plenty of interesting anecdotes and ready for anything the Q&A would throw at me. I was ready, but...the high security of the organisation and internet misbehaving meant the calm start I'd been hoping for divebombed as I couldn't control the slides from my end.
It could have been embarrassing and really thrown me off my stride.
However, I had fortunately sent a draft of the presentation through the week before and, although it wasn't most up to date version, it meant that it could be shown from the organisation's side and I just had to say 'next slide' when appropriate.
Not ideal, but actually I had turned up a few minutes early, knew my subject inside out and appreciated I just had to laugh it off and do my 'thing'.
What I found is, having done so much prep in advance, that I was able to laugh through the technical blip, adlib and deliver value in what could have been a nightmare.
Goes to show, as the Girl Guide motto would say 'be prepared'!
"Feedback in the comments, among many thank yous and requests for the cookbook:

Workshop: LOOKING AFTER No. 1 (agency local)
Sheila has been remarkable! I called on her expertise at very short notice for a focus on Wellbeing. Sheila is an expert on Wellbeing - with her Primal Zone principals taking things back to basics.
She provided expert and thought provoking content for the topic - and then ran a wonderful workshop which got everyone thinking and going away with new actions to start to look after themselves. Thank you Sheila.
I can highly recommend Sheila - knowledgeable - focused and a joy to work with.

“SHEILA IS AMAZING. SHE HAS TRANSFORMED THE LIVES OF PATIENTS”
Sheila is amazing. She has transformed the lives of some of my patients, through empowering, inspiring and educating. She is passionate about what she does and this shines through in the sessions, helping to motivate individuals in the group setting. She researches thoroughly, before passing on this knowledge in a kind, sensitive and often humorous and light-hearted way!
Not only have my patients lost weight through this real food lower carb approach, but they have come off anti-inflammatory and pain killing medication, started to enjoy daily movement, and have developed a social network of like-minded individuals who all support each other in their journey to better health.
Indeed, some of my patients have started (and are enjoying!) ParkRun, wild swimming, and sharing a sense of achievement through the group, and under Sheila expert guidance.
We are looking forward to setting up more groups who can also benefit from Sheila approach.
ARE YOUR LIFESTYLE CHOICES MAKING YOU SICK?
THE ROYAL LATIN SCHOOL AND THE LILLINGSTONE TRUST
Sheila delivered a workshop for our community event in March 2023. Titled ‘Are Your Lifestyle Choices Making You Sick’.
Not only sharing her very own personal health transformation, Sheila guided us through just some of our lifestyle choices that may be making us sick with a focus on nutrition, digital overwhelm and the importance of play.
Very interactive, lots of laughter and conversation and plenty of food for thought. A huge thank you for an amazing presentation, we received a lot of really positive feedback. Nicky Bereit
child bereavement uk
Was again honoured and delighted to support Child Bereavement UK and the incredible work they do last week (June 2022), but this time we were 'in person', which gave a whole new buzz to the day.
I presented an interactive workshop to 60 of the CBUK team which was all about 'how to live awesomely' and gave a taster session of the following:
- Nutrition
- Movement
- Sleep
- Play
- Sunlight
- Brain use
Plus = Avoiding making stupid mistakes
Would like to thank Chief Executive, Ann Chalmers, again for inviting me to share how we can reduce the impact of lifestyle based diseases; the fantastic interaction from the audience; the movement volunteers and the excitable group that were found sprinting barefoot in the grass during the coffee break (made my day!).
