"Really enjoyed the course and would recommend it to anyone looking for an introduction to positive psychology. helped develop skills to use in every day life when feeling stressed, anxious or with sleep problems."
"The information as at times surprising and I am left with the feeling that changes are very possible. I take away the feeling that lots of small changes could make a very big difference in the lives of many people."
"The Positive Psychology has helped me to move forward. I was feeling stuck in my life and in a negative frame of mind."
"I found the course enjyable and informative. It has helped me to focus on relaxation and the Headspace app for meditation. I feel a lot calmer. The character strengths were interesting to find out about myself hich I have used to help me move forward."

Healthy Mind, Happy Body
New Year’s resolutions are often about losing weight but many of us fail to lose weight, or keep it off long-term.
Upward Spirals (US) has developed a unique approach: looking at the whole picture – mind and body – and discovering what works well for each individual rather than a one-size-fits-all solution (that doesn’t work for many).
You don’t have to be struggling with weight issues to come as this is also a ‘preventative’ workshop to help you and those you love regain or maintain a healthy weight!
Saturday 10am-4.30pm: Dates available according to interest. Special introductory rate: £45 (£40 early bird rate) - ambassadors 10% discount
