Our Wellbeing Sessions are designed for women and people living with Endo (diagnosed or suspected) to share experiences and take part in relaxation, breathing exercises, singing, talking, sharing and movement with the aim of having a positive impact on wellbeing.

What can I expect?

We start the session by introducing ourselves and doing some breathing and relaxation techniques. Issy and Gabrielle will then lead us through the session where we might do some talking, listening, singing and sharing. Each week will be a little different.

Then at 7.15pm (ish) we’ll wrap up, and hang out for any questions. You’ll hopefully leave the session feeling restored and relaxed, and a little lighter than when we came in.

But I can't sing! 

That's ok, we still want you to come along!

Our Wellbeing Sessions are designed to help you feel good about what you can do with your voice and body, whatever that may be -  and the benefits from breathing and singing come from taking part. 

The team...

Liz, Issy and Gabrielle are a friendly, welcoming and non-judgemental bunch who all love working with people through music and creativity. 

Issy is a musician, teacher and workshop leader who has worked with people from all walks of life and will lead our sessions alongside our trainee session leader Gabrielle, a singer-songwriter from east London. Liz is a creative producer and musician who lives with Endo, and has put the Wonder Warriors programme together to help support the Endo community, and will be there helping everything run smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions...

• Do I need to come every week? In short - no, but you are of course welcome to! We know it’s tough committing to things when you have Endo so we’ve designed the sessions so you can dip in and out of them - so you don’t need to come every week but of course you are more than welcome to! We look forward to seeing you whenever you can make it :) 
• What do I need to bring? Yourself and anything to make you feel comfortable. We will be providing cushions, yoga mats and chairs.
• Is it Covid-19 secure? Your safety is of paramount importance and we are following UK Government guidance which means that we will:
  • Limit capacity - the venue has a capacity of 100, but we are limiting this to 10 participants in addition to 3 members of staff.
  • Ensure the room is ventilated
  • Social distancing will be in place
  • Staff or participants showing signs of Covid-19 symptoms, or who have been asked to self-isolate will not be permitted into the building
  • Staff and participants will be required to use PPE (face masks/visors) unless exempt
  • Follow the Government's safe singing guidelines
  • We also ask that all participants adhere to the guidelines.
