Lynn Reader, is qualified as a Reflexologist for almost 6 years ago, offering Reflexology to clients in Huntingdon and surrounding areas, and as a Volunteer with HCCN at the Ellington Drop-in.
She is presenting Reflexology and spreading the word that Reflexology is recognised as a beneficial therapy working alongside standard healthcare, supporting clients at all stages of their cancer diagnosis.
During the presentation, she will introduce the theory behind the therapy, the many benefits which include stress relief, improved sleep and an enhanced sense of well-being.

Recently, Hunts Forum dedicated a Lifetime Achievement Award to our founding Trustee Susan for all the work she had done setting up our charity.
Sadly she had passed away before the awards took place so here we have her lovely husband, Graham, receiving her certificate along with our chair Jan (who is equally as lovely!).

Online Tai Chi Class with Dmitry Sokolik
In the class you are invited to a deeper relaxation, than you are used to. In this state, the body has a chance to recognise that there is no immediate danger, stopping saving energy for the survival and switching off the sympathetic nervous system. This is when the parasympathetic nervous system naturally has a chance. This is when the body can start using the energy for regeneration and healing. The same energy it previously kept for survival. This also facilitates natural immune system strengthening, which is so precious now. And, finally, the sense of wellbeing and inner strength appears naturally as the result of the practice.
Where: In the comfort of your own home via Zoom. Please make sure you have enough clear space to move as necessary.
When: Monday, 22nd March 2020 at 5.45pm – 1 hour
Ability: Standing and Seated, Beginner or Been Before. Please do ensure you have your doctor’s approval before taking part in this activity.
How: You will need Wi-Fi and Zoom with microphone and camera. Comfortable clothes, which do not limit movement and a bottle of water.
