benefits to my child
What changes might I notice in my
child after attending The Healing Feeling?
Different children are affected in
different ways. The aim of the workshop is to bring about positive changes for
the child and therefore for their family as a whole. You should notice that
with time, as the children begin to use the techniques they have learned, that
they will be much calmer, more self confident, less shy in new situations, more
relaxed and more in touch with their emotions. As a result this will help
children to cope with the everyday issues that they face in and out of school.
Remember that parents are invited free on Fridays – just let Usha know you are
going to be there
What happens if I can’t collect my
child on time?
We ask for your support in ensuring
you collect your child on time. We are not insured in the premises after a

This is only done with parental

massage will be given by child to child. Usha is a qualified Massage in schools
