Ok so these are VERY old pics and my hair is a lot less blonde and a lot more grey now, but I spent A LOT of my twenties in smart suits… Ha, I know you wouldn’t believe that now, when I’m barely ever out of leggings (KWW work uniform), but I do still have the suits! Back in the 2000s, working in PR and communications for environmental charities between London and Oxfordshire, engaging with CEOs, Directors, Ministers and SPADS (Special Advisors) at Defra, I ran programmes on recycling, waste management, climate change and agriculture. In those days, I spoke at conferences on a regular basis and spent my evenings attending lectures at the Farmers Club in London… suits and pearls were de rigueur! In fact, here I am talking about greenhouse gas emissions way back in 2008!

My point is, I know how to engage at all levels through an organisation. You can safely put me infront of your CEO and know I won’t spout wellbeing rubbish at them, but back up what I’m saying with research on neuroscience, and use proven techniques to help improve concentration and focus in the workplace as well as flow-state and creativity. All this also helps to reduce stress, improve staff morale and retention and team building.

I offer bespoke packages which can include all or any of the following, from 30 minutes to 2 hours. I will teach techniques which you can choose to repeat again and again, having a lasting effect on the general health and wellbeing of your team:

From 10th December 2025: Office yoga: you don’t need to leave your desk, we can do the whole session seated and you certainly don’t need a mat. Reduce backache, headaches, tech-neck, stress, RSI, general aches and pains and support your team’s overall mental health and wellbeing.

Nutrition: nourish yourself more deeply for better energy and concentration throughout the day: reduce that mid afternoon energy slump

Yoga nidra deep rest: replenish energy levels, improve focus and creativity, reduce stress, promote wellbeing and do something different to bond your team

Self-massage techniques: reduce stress, headaches, RSI and improve general wellbeing

Get in touch to discuss the needs of your team: katie@katiewheaterwellbeing.co.uk and I can put a plan together for you. These sessions work as a lovely Christmas/treat/wellbeing for work day or just as a January re-set. If necessary, we can do this on zoom, but in general I find it much more effective in person. I can also provide additional resources and goodie bags should these be helpful.

If you were around Oxford/shire 2003 – 2005 ish, you might have seen this advertising campaign to help improve recycling and reuse across the county – that was me! Here I am on the campaign launch day, outside the Said Business School.

What does the woman in your life really want for Christmas? Really, really, truly? I bet it’s not a scarf, or pair of socks, probably not perfume or a plant. Maybe it is a really good book, a beautiful candle or is it actually that she wants time? Time for herself to rest and replenish herself? I’ll bet she also wants everyone to be kind and nice to each other in the home…. and maybe to help with that, she also needs some time out, to re-set her nervous system. (Note: that doesn’t mean the kids should continue arguing and she will ignore it!). Give the gift of time, a pause, a chance to reset and replenish her with a massage in Oxford, deep rest in Oxford or yoga in Oxford. All the above available as gift vouchers, ranging from £10 – £150 – all the options and details here.

Did you know I work with couples of all descriptions? Husbands and wives, partners, mothers and daughters, fathers and daughters, mothers and sons, mothers and grandmothers, friends, colleagues…. all are welcome to book a couples deep rest session. These are some of my favourite sessions to run because people bond by shared experience, shared energy, with no need to exchange words. They feel closer, kinder to each other and cherish each other more deeply afterwards.

How it works and what to expect:

Get in touch for a chat and let me know your needs. You can choose from a theme (self compassion, resilience, balance, seasonal themes and many many others) or I can create something specific for your needs on the day.

We begin with a warm foot-bath and time to arrive in the space, settling you in in body and mind, creating space for the experience. You then find a comfortable seat or lying down position and I ensure you are as warm and comfortable as possible with so many props to help you snuggle in and also stay present during the session. You can choose to hold hands or not, whatever feels best for you on the day.

During the deep rest yoga nidra, I will guide you through breathwork, body scans and sometimes a visualisation to help you deepen your experience. Afterwards, you enjoy a herbal tea and foot massage and take home lots of resources to help you deepen your experience, as well as receive a recording to listen to as often as you like.

£50 for two people for 60 minutes. A lovely treat and cheaper than most meals out! Gift yourself and someone special a beautiful nurturing bonding experience that lasts beyond the hour as you listen again and again to your recording and refer back to your take home resources.

Get in touch with any questions or to book your session today. This experience can also be bought as a gift voucher for Christmas or birthday or for any/no reason at all!

A little hello as we enter November and an invitation to check in with yourself. How are you finding a balance between the busy days and weeks, meeting the needs of family, friends, community and work – AND looking after yourself, preparing for the lovely – and sometimes frenetic- weeks ahead? Have you got something/s in the diary to look forward to, something just for you, to nourish you deeply, enabling your patience and calm to deepen and last longer?

Practising what I preach, I love my weekly yin yoga class, candle-lit hot baths, foot massages (instructions for a self-foot massage here), meditation and the soft quietude of my morning coffee in the dark of my garden: my little ritual before the rest of the house is awake.  Also, super important is balancing the stillness and cosiness of my work, with “good stress”, higher energy and the rawness of the elements, building strength, discipline and resilience in body and mind. A (school) run in the rain, strength work out or HIIT class (check out awesome local instructor Jen here). My aim is to mix up the energy AND the calm, seeking a level of harmony for my nervous system, helping return me back to myself. How are you tending to yourself this month, finding harmony in body and mind? Balancing your energy? Is there enough down-regulation of your nervous system, to meet all of the go, go, go? If you think you’re too busy for this…. this is exactly the time you need to think about it! I offer you two simple solutions: a massage or a deep rest class to help you relax in Oxford. Read all about both here and book by email or message me on 07739 460676.
