Company information

Aventurine Therapies offers uplifting group workshops and intensive 1:1 sessions for the relief of physical, emotional and mental conditions that are rooted in the spiritual epicentre.

Good care professionals tend to be empaths – a superpower that is both a blessing and a curse, as it often causes emotional exhaustion if you don’t practice proper self-care.

The past few years has placed enormous pressure on social care, leaving the workforce drained of their caring superpowers and depleted of their vital resources. Now it’s time to care for our carers. Not only will this create a brighter and more motivated care workforce, but also impact the quality of care they give to clients and residents.

In our workshops we discover the magical energetic potential of our thoughts and feelings and how this impacts our ability to care and support others. Through mindfulness, breath work, dance movement therapy and EFT tapping we will unlock our innate healing powers.
