You asked. We listened. ❤️

This month is Pain Awareness Month, so it feels like the perfect time to share something we've been working on.

When we ran our Pain Reframe webinar, we had people tell us they would love to join us our in person retreat but couldn't manage the travel or a whole day away from home.

So you asked if we could offer an online option…

We listened.

The Pain Reframe Morning Retreat

Wednesday 7th October | 10am–1pm | Live on Zoom

A shorter, focused version of our in-person retreat, bringing together:

🧠 Dr Sue Peacock – Health Psychologist
💬 Jacq Emkes – Patient Advocate
🏃‍♀️ Larissa Clarke – Movement & Exercise Specialist

We'll explore persistent pain from different perspectives, with a particular focus on understanding your pain, building confidence in your body and finding ways to move that help you get more of your life back.

No pushing through pain.
No “just think positively”.
No waiting for your pain to disappear before you start living.

Just understanding, movement, practical ideas and support.

We're keeping the group small so that it feels personal, supportive and interactive.

£99 for the first 5 places, then £129.

If distance, energy or a full day has stopped you joining us before, this could be your opportunity to take part.

More details and booking coming soon. ❤️

This…… 💚

I am delighted 😃 that due to the continuing growth of our Active Wellbeing groups we have outgrown our Thursday room! 💥

The Active Wellbeing sessions are strength and conditioning training for any adult living with long term health conditions.

These classes are an absolute joy for me to teach and the success of them is a direct result of people genuinely feeling and recognising what a difference being active and getting stronger makes to their daily lives 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

That and the amazing determined bunch they are, offering a warm welcome to anyone joining us and a super sense of fun and camaraderie 💚🙌🏻

So to ensure we can keep growing and extending the value of these classes to more of the community we have a BIGGER room!

A big thank you to the Bedford Borough Council, Sports Development Unit and the Better team at Bedford International Athletic Stadium for supporting these sessions 🙏

Next venue an arena 😂

A fab initiative 💚 🚲

Life on 2 wheels is so freeing, relaxing and a great way to get outdoors.

You've heard of Couch to 5k, but have you heard of Sofa to Saddle?

British Cycling's new app offers a fun and free way to help you to start riding your bike more often, with confidence and enjoyment.

You can take it outdoors or even do it indoors, whatever works for you!
