A care professional from local home care company Home Instead Warrington and Lymm has proved the benefits of drawing on her background in yoga and meditation to enhance the wellbeing of her clients in helping them to relax and stay calm.
When she started working at Home Instead Warrington and Lymm in November, Kerry had a bright idea to draw on the techniques and her passion for yoga into her role as a Care Professional. Combing both of her passions has given her an increased sense of purpose and fulfilment, and it’s safe to say that clients have benefited from it hugely.
Having practiced yoga for over two decades, Kerry knows full well the benefits that such a holistic approach can have on people’s physical and mental health.
Kerry said, “I am hoping to introduce some of aspects of my background to many more of my client. There has been an incredible improvement in my clients’ physical and mental health since I started helping them with the basic principles behind yoga during care visits.
“The deep breathing techniques help the clients to be more present, helping them to let go of the past and not to worry about the future. I enjoy working with individuals because I love connecting with my clients on a deeper level. I can’t even put into words how privileged I feel to be able to spend time with my clients; they have taught me so much! I love hearing their stories and no two days are the same!”
A Home Instead Warrington and Lymm client commented, “I love it when Kerry comes round. Kerry’s breathing techniques have helped me feel more calm and less anxious. She has really helped me cultivate peace and has taught me how to accept anything that life throws at me. I can’t praise her enough. I hope that other people like myself adopt this approach: they won’t regret it!”
