Charge Nurse and Nurse Training Co-ordinator
Before the workshop I was experiencing a lack of confidence and self-doubt, but the workshop helped to build my confidence and refreshed enthusiasm for the role Nathan was friendly and extremely kind and professional in his delivery.
RN, workshop participant
I enjoyed the whole day and found it very informative. I valued the networking with participants, which enabled me to share my thoughts as well as learn from fellow participants. I recommend this to anyone looking to learn more about self compassion while benefiting from sharing experiences.
Nurse workshop participant
This has been the most interesting and useful online study workshop I have attended in a long time.
Nurse workshop participant
“I found this workshop really useful as it not only allows time to speak to other PNAs but also to work through exercises that will help in the role going forward. I really benefited from learning practical skills which were not taught in my course.
PNA and workshop participant
I attended Nathan's workshop on self-compassion for midwives recently and it was very enlightening. Amongst other things, he did some visualisation techniques with our group which I have found to be really beneficial. He taught us that they can be easily transferable for use with all sorts of situations. I have already felt the benefit of his session and it's amazing how 2.5 hours can have such a positive impact in so many ways instantly.
