The group is run by Leanne, one of our Social Prescribers, and Mel, one of our Health & Wellbeing Coaches. Within the group sessions, self -care, skincare and makeup tips are shared. Followed by yoga and breathing techniques to end the sessions to aid relaxation.
The sessions are run in blocks, on a term time basis, and are held at the Family Hub Centre, Taye St, Burnley - Wednesday's 10-12. To participate within 'Blissful Balance' a referral must be made due to limited space available.
