Lavinia’s workshop on self-care and managing stress for Oxford Women in Business was one of the most informative, honest and open sessions I’ve been to! It felt genuine right from the start as Lavinia opened by sharing her own experiences on dealing with anxiety and student-life pressures. This ensured the entire group felt comfortable to talk about the personal problems they face and we discussed practical ways to acknowledge our feelings and deal with them in a mature way. I particularly loved learning how simple these could be (such as spending time in Nature and breathing consciously) and how they can have such positive effects on our minds and bodies. Thank you for sharing ways in which self-care tools can be applied in our daily lives in order to maintain our physical, emotional and mental health!

Lavinia’s workshop on ‘4 Simple Steps To Maintain Your Energy Levels & Emotional Sanity As A Professional Parent’ was a true revelation. Her style is engaging and the tips that she shared were simple and effective. At the end of the 40-minute session I realised that acceptance and self-forgiveness (for making time for myself) are not acts of selfishness but can actually lead to positive change. And that I am not alone on this journey of trying to become a better person/wife/parent/worker. Thank you Lavinia.
