string(2715) "Sensory Mindfulness for People with Intellectual Disabilities
Developed in 2012 and Firmly Established as a beneficial, progressive, engaging, repeatable programme - click here for case studies
Right now, I am facilitating more than 14 groups with weekly / bi weekly 1-hour Sensory Mindfulness and Relaxation Sessions for people with Intellectual Disability (individuals, groups and their staff) in Day Care and Residential settings.
More than 90 people with a wide range of Intellectual Disabilities attend the session with up to 30 members of Supporting Staff taking part each week and Staff rotation in place for participation in some group sessions.
Customised sessions were developed, are firmly established and continue to expand to new groups with Disability Service Providers in the Midlands and South.
Most abilities, mobilities and behavioural challenged Service Users respond positively to the calm relaxing atmosphere.
Senses of smell, touch, taste, hearing and seeing are engaged with a body scan meditation and mindful eating.
Testimonial 1 - The mindfulness classes held in our residential centre by Geraldine are of huge benefit to all our service users. Their impact can be seen for days afterwards. The CD can be used at other times to instantly brings the service user back to a place of calm and is useful in managing difficult behaviours. - Manager in Residential Disability Services.
Testimonial 2 - Geraldine has been doing Mindfulness sessions with us for over 6 years. The benefits and positive outcomes for Service Users has been immense. At the start there was an uneasiness with Service Users and Staff to actively participate but after a few weeks everybody got into it and now everybody looks forward to the weekly session. Everybody participates differently and according to their own needs and comfort levels. Some people sit on a chair and others lie on mats on the floor. Some rest relax or sleep and some repeat phrases that Geraldine uses during the class but whatever way participation occurs is for that hour everybody is there in that space and that is all that is happening at that time. The benefits that can be seen after the class and for longer is that people are more relaxed and calm and often more able to cope in a positive way with the stresses of daily life. - Social Care Practitioner in Disability Services.

Testimonials
"I have been attending Psychology / Kinesiology with Geraldine for over a year now also mindfulness classes. The work which i have done with Geraldine has been brilliant and I have noticed a huge improvement in my overall well-being as a result of the work I have done. My confidence has increased and I have gained better awareness of my own emotions, as well as this my concentration has vastly improved and I have been able to study and pass my college exams. Geraldine’s classes are fantastic and well worth doing if you want to see an improvement in your overall well-being. L.S” 05-May-2015
“Enjoyed and relaxed in classes & found repeat of breathing and relaxation was important and good to establish the habit rather than boring as I would have expected. Felt comfortable as a male in the group & have found it helped to clear my mind. I have been able to let go of past guilt’s with the Psychology/Kinesiology one to one session.

“Thank you Ger for a great Mindfulness morning. Enjoyed it immensely. Have been working on those exercises& following you advice. Feeling more refreshed & enlightened already. Looking forward to next week already. Kind regards, Ann “ 13-Mar-2015
Wanted to say" Thank You" Geraldine. After attending Physiology/Kinesiology treatments sessions with her, for anxiety, low energy and tiredness last year, I felt so much better afterwards.
Geraldine was clear in her communication, uncritical and kind in her response and direction. Her approach to my issues was so perfect for me, a perfect balance of considered directness and gentle encouragement.
I would highly recommend Geraldine as a professional, knowledgeable and caring therapist who was genuinely interested in my situation and recovery.
Bernie
