About

In a world where we all prioritise, work, family and other commitments over our own being; Equilibrium are proud to re-educate and encourage our clients to put themselves first so the balance in their life can be maintained. Equilibrium – balancing body and mind, focuses on the need for individuals and corporate clients to appreciate the need for balance in their lives. Self care should always come first, but don't let this lead you to think that self-care is selfish. Self-care is equivalent to the air plane mask warning. When emergencies happen and the mask drops from the ceiling, you are supposed to help yourself first and then help others put their mask on. So the analogy goes, spend some time on you and you will be in a better position to help others effectively: "You cannot serve from an empty vessel"

Located in the beautiful Chew Valley – Chew Magna, Equilibrium was founded in 2019, by myself Andrea, the director. After working as a Secondary School teacher (teaching 11–18 year olds) for twenty years and in recent years working with Bristol and Bath Spa universities on their PGCE programme for training teachers, it is fair to say that I have seen the need for self-care: individually and for the student and staff body. I have developed a passion for holistic health and seen the benefits of self-care. It is now my mission to facilitate this culture of caring for ourselves; self-care needs to be celebrated and applauded – no one should ever feel guilty for looking after themselves.

 

Equilibrium is proud to offer a variety of holistic therapies, treatments and aromatherapy. Courses on stress management, meditation/self-care, massage for home use and using essential oils are all examples of the types of short courses available. Courses and treatments offered are of the utmost quality; bespoke to the client’s needs and putting the client first; attention to small details are important to us and we feel once you have encountered “Equilibrium” you will not know what you did before. We make it all about you; you are important, you are valued, and you make a difference! Your time is precious and therefore we will not rush you.

It’s all about self-care; because if we care for ourselves then the rest will remain in balance; the equilibrium.
