A day of wellbeing session has been organised by small businesses on Mamhilad Park Estate.
They’ve teamed up to showcase the variety of support offered to help people unwind, reset and look after their mind and body.
It’s on Sunday 1 March from 11.30am through to 4.30pm (ticket link in comments). The day starts with a welcome, introductions and pastries in Coffi Kitoko.
Food4Growth
Support from Torfaen’s Food4Growth project will put the spotlight on local food businesses on the day- including Cheese Maries and The Cookes Bakery.
- Flourish Art Psychotherapy will offer a gentle, creative wellbeing workshop, giving visitors space to slow down and express themselves through art activities. No artistic experience is needed.
- Wellbeing With Jade will run taster sessions of her sound baths. Using calming tones and vibrations, the sessions aim to ease stress, support emotional balance and encourage deep relaxation.
- The Community Chiropractor will be on hand with posture checks, practical advice and simple strategies to help people move better and stay pain‑free – whether they’re desk workers, parents or fitness enthusiasts.
- Visitors can also learn about float therapy with The Float Haus Wales, whose sessions promise weightlessness, stress relief and improved sleep through a deeply relaxing sensory experience.
- Special guest Kate from Botanic Possessions will lead a nature‑based workshop using herbs, foliage and flowers to help people reconnect with their senses and feel grounded. Her sessions focus on the textures, scents and colours found in the natural world.
Hannah Stead, from Coffi Kitoko, said: “We have always been passionate about our local community, our local producers, and Mamhilad has given us the reason to be passionate about our local businesses.
“Our St David’s Day event gives us the opportunity to showcase what Mamhilad Park Estate has to offer. The business owners on site are our neighbours and are our customers and they’ve now become our friends, so we are really rooting for them and this event and grateful to be a part of it.”
Wellbeing hub
Jade Walker, from Wellbeing With Jade, said: “We’re all coming together because we work in the wellbeing hub. We’re bringing all of our services together to do a big wellbeing event on Sunday 1 March.
“There will be an opportunity to go around the estate and see what the wellbeing hub is all about and what we can offer…Life is so fast-paced, and I think it’s really hard sometimes for people to stop and sit and just be in the present moment, and we need more of that.”
Carly Champion, from Flourish Art Psychotherapy, said: “I think this is a lovely opportunity to bring not only the community together but also everybody that has set up business in Mamhilad from either personal experience or seeing that there’s a real gap in wellbeing within Torfaen.
“Art psychotherapy is a very unique way of working with individuals. It’s really looking at the unconscious and what’s kept below the surface. A lot of us might go around and suppress lots of our emotions and not really show them and we carry on…underneath all that we might be holding a lot and sometimes it’s hard to put the words to that so what we do in art psychotherapy is use the art as a way to express the unconscious and a way to make sense of your itnrnl world thoguht creatiity.”
