Take Ten Workshops

Children's Relaxation Techniques for Home and School in Magherafelt, Cookstown & surrounding areas.

Discover the power of story-based massage to help children manage emotions, reduce stress, and improve focus.

Relax the body, calm the mind

Welcome to Take Ten Workshops, where we bring peace and relaxation to children's busy lives through our school workshops, private group sessions, and our specially designed Take Ten book, ‘Explore the Garden with Wise Owl’.

As a parent with over a decade of experience in childcare, I've witnessed firsthand the challenges children face in navigating their emotions in today's fast-paced world. My time spent working with young children has given me unique insights into the emotional needs of children both in the classroom and at home.

That's why I've created Take Ten – a unique approach to children's relaxation born from my own family's bedtime struggles and triumphs. Whether in the classroom, community groups, or the comfort of your home, our story-based massage techniques offer a gentle yet powerful tool for emotional regulation and bonding.

Our Story

Take Ten Workshops grew from a simple bedtime ritual with my own children. What started as a gentle massage to ease them into sleep became a powerful tool for emotional regulation and bonding.

Combining my background in Early Childhood Studies with specialised training in reflexology, I've developed a programme that's making a difference in homes and schools across Derry/Londonderry and County Tyrone.
