Nutrition and Mindfulness

Our Nutritional Advisor and Coach provide information about the science of food to help people make better choices. The aim is to promote good health and prevent diseases such as type 2 diabetes, obesity and heart disease.

HEALTH is like a bank account, what we put in today we will collect later in life. From what we eat, what we do and how we think, it’s all connected.

Mindfulness Facilitators

Here at Catholic Care we have two Mindfulness Facilitators. Mindfulness is a great tool to learn how to cope with anxiety, stress, mental load, over/under eating, anger, sleeplessness. This is just to name a few. The benefits are endless.

You learn how to be present in the moment and to take time for yourself. You can learn how to shift your mindset to be able to work more effectively and cope with various scenarios. It is about being in the moment and present. We currently offer this service to our staff and service users.
