About Chronic at Christmas (Wellness Workshop)
About the Workshop:
The festive season can feel anything but joyful when you're living with a chronic physical or mental condition. While the world around you glows with festivity, you may feel pressure, isolation, or exhaustion - and you're not alone.

Together, we’ll explore mindful movement, journaling, and rest practices that honour where you are - helping you leave feeling lighter, grounded, and a little more resourced for the season ahead.
