Pamper
Day at the Crew Club
21st November from 10am to 3pm
The
Crew Club, run by MBE award-winning winner youth
team, Darren and Lorraine Snow, offered a space
for the Active LightWorks therapists, who introduced
therapies and provided free treatments for young
parents of the area. The therapies will include
Aromatherapy, Indian Head Massage, Reflexology,
Energy therapy and Shiatsu.
Below
is the feedback for the day which was very clearly
a success!
It
went very well. After a slow start, plenty of people
came in the end...
The
team did around 38 treatments, possibly more because
when some of the women had several, they sometimes
just recorded the first one alone and not the others.
Clara, Barbara, Elena, Veronica, Jerusa and Claire
were totally brilliant, worked really, really hard,
and were a fantastic group to be with. I stayed
all through the day too in the end, not doing any
treatments apart from one visualisation, but listening
to lots of people, explaining about the treatments,
introducing them to the therapists, and making cups
of tea etc.
All the women loved every single one of
their treatments.
* Several of the Crew Club mothers had never had
a complementary therapy treatment before;
* Some had never heard of any of the therapies -
and many others, if they had heard of them vaguely,
did not know what they were.
* Over half were single parents
* Many had long-standing health problems, or were
long term (very) stressed.
What next?
E-mailing Lorraine tonight, and summarising the
Feedback forms’; information, though she has
the originals she is so busy this may be useful
to her. She wants to meet with us next week to discuss
where to go from here, but seemed v pleased with
the day and had a great shiatsu treatment
herself with Clare, after which she looked a lot
less tired!
Summary from 38 feedback forms
Which
therapies were most popular at Crew Club?
Many of the women had more than one treatment, some
had as many as 3.
Ist....Head & Shoulder Massage (11)
(Clara did this all day, Veronica very kindly did
several too even though she was really there to
do Reiki - thank you Veronica! - and Barbara did
some back and shoulder massage for two guys who
had been waiting a while....many thanks)
2nd ......Reiki / Energy Therapy (8)
3rd....Reflexology (7)
4th.... Aromatherapy (6)
4th....equal...Shiatsu (6)
Do
the women who came to Crew Club want ALW to do regular
sessions?
They all said Yes.
How often?
* Weekly (12)
* Every month (9)
* Fortnightly (8)
* Want regular session AND some big all-day Peace
& Pamper Days too (8)
On which days?
* Any day is fine (11)
* Mondays (‘Start the Week’) (12)
* Fridays (10)
Other days eg Wednesdays or no preference given
(5)
So add ‘any day’ score to Mondays’
score and it looks like Mondays would suit
the most
What time of day is best?
* Anytime (9)
* Mornings (12)
* Afternoons (7)
No preference (9)
So seems mornings would suit the greatest number.
Note: Suggest a good time may be10.30am to lunchtime
1.30pm as mothers usually need to go home first
after dropping children at school so they can sort
the house out a bit after the weekend - then
they will come on in.
How long for a treatment?
“ 30 mins (17)
* 60 mins (7)
* No preference given (14)
