SCHOOL REVIEWS

Our Lady’s Catholic Primary School, Knowsley

“Katie worked with our school throughout the academic year. She provided both after school clubs for the children, as well as a programme of mindfulness for various classes. I cannot recommend the service Katie provides enough. At a time when we are seeing first hand children suffering with various emotional needs, Katie’s programme offers hope for both children and staff. The level of CPD for staff is first class. Over a number of sessions, the children acquired a variety of new skills, from breathing exercises to peer massage. Katie’s enthusiasm is infectious and subsequently I have discovered a real interest in well-being and mindfulness. I have recommended Sunshine Yoga to many colleagues and I will continue to do so. Well done Katie you are an angel”

Our Lady of Good Help primary, Liverpool

“Our mindfulness sessions this year have been amazing. All children have taken part in focused sessions with Katie, this has had a positive impact on teaching and learning, as teachers are also now doing 5 minute meditation with the children too.
Thank you Katie for your hard work and dedication to our children”

Saints Peter and St. Paul primary school, Knowsley

“Many children said the breathing techniques helped them remain calm and focused during test week”

St. Luke’s Primary School, Knowlsey

“Katie started working with us in our school 2 years ago. We value the importance of mental health and felt the need to learn more about how this would look. Katie came into school and worked with the children and staff, sharing mindfulness strategies and yoga techniques. Her sessions were soothing and child friendly. The children responded well to Katie’s calm and encouraging manner. Katie helped us to transform a bland under-used room containing some sensory equipment into a calm, safe, welcoming sensory space where children could find peace and time to think.”

St. Anne’s Primary School, Knowsley

“Katie at ‘Little Sunshine Yoga’ delivered mindfulness sessions to a group of KS2 pupils. Katie was sensitive to the children’s individual and diverse needs and made the sessions fun and enjoyable for all. She was well prepared and professional throughout. The children loved the sessions and I would highly recommend her!”

Whiston Willis primary school, Knowsley

“I just wanted to say a huge thank you for all of your hard work at our school.  The children absolutely loved the self-esteem classes and the mindfulness activities.  I have had amazing feedback from the children themselves and also the parents who were really impressed with your group.  One in particular was amazed that her son who had ASC and never usually tells them anything about school, was coming home and teaching the family breathing techniques.  Parents are happy that the children are so engaged and they are continuing to use the techniques you taught them both at home and in school.  Your yoga club was excellent also and was really beneficial to our year 6 children as they prepared for SATs by helping them to remain calm and focused.  Thank you again for making such a difference to our children and I look forward to working again with you very soon.”

Lord Derby Academy, Knowsley

“I just wanted to say thank you to the provision to our pupils on Wednesday during our enrichment day.  The pupils who took part really enjoyed the sessions and it was brilliant to see them engaging in so many activities”

I’ve learned life-long skills. Thank you Katie”

Look forward to other classes you may offer in the future”

Claire, Liverpool

“I have recently taken part in my first mindfulness 4 week course.  Working in mental health for the NHS, I was aware of the importance of mental well-being.  Completing the course I feel I gained a self-awareness of my own welfare, empowering me with me with transferable skills through all aspects of life.  Katie’s professionalism was paramount throughout the entire course, with a confidential and relaxing environment allowing me to feel at ease within the group.  I would highly recommend the course to other people in the future and would like to thank Katie for her support and guidance and wish her well with her future business plans”

Joan, Liverpool

“Katie what a star! I enjoyed every minute of this 4 week course with my group. I was apprehensive at first and had lots of problems. I didn’t think I could cope, how wrong was I! Katie taught me lots of strategies on how to cope, also how to meditate I have continued to put them into practice. I feel in a much better and happier place. I have encouraged friends and work colleagues to Katie on another of her 4 week classes. If you feel low and think I can’t go by myself because I don’t know anyone there, just DO IT! I DID IT! It was worth the money and Katie was so friendly and professional in delivering new life skills. Well done Katie and good luck with your classes. One very happy customer”

“I had such an amazing experience on my mindfulness course with Sunshine Yoga. I feel that everyone young to old should take this course. We all have busy lives and so much on our mind, things happening day to day. Our minds never rest and we never take time for ourselves. Stress and anxiety.

It’s been a pleasure and life lesson”

The range of meditations were explained clearly, how we should breathe and sound etc. even though it was new to me I felt comfortable having a go and they truly helped me quiet my mind.

Jayne, Liverpool

“I have just completed a 4 week mindfulness course with Katie and I can only describe it as life changing.  With just a few simple changes to perspective and meditation.  I feel as if a big weight has been lifted, I have also found that other people are acting different towards me in a positive way.  I can’t thank you enough Katie see you in the meditations classes”

MINDFULNESS IN THE WORKPLACE

Leading Ladies in Business, Liverpool

“For the past 4 weeks I have attended Katie’s mindfulness business program to support business focus, success, and my own health.  I related to everything that Katie covered coming away with a deeper understanding of myself, others around me and the next steps I need to take in my business.  Katie has taught me how to live more in the present moment.  The more I worry about the past or the future the more time I’m taking away from the moment I’m supposed to be living.  I feel like I have woken up from the autopilot I have been living and I’m the most focused I’ve ever been ready to push my business to the next level.  Thank you so much Katie your work is life changing!”
