If you’re at the very beginning of your wellbeing journey… welcome. 
This guide was written with you in mind. 

Holistic wellbeing doesn’t mean being “spiritual” or “perfect” 

It simply means taking care of yourself in a way that considers the whole of you: 

• your emotions 

• your thoughts 

• your physical body 

• your stress levels 

• your energy 

• your surroundings 

• your life experiences 

It’s about slow, gentle, sustainable nurturing. 

Where to begin when you have no idea where to begin 

Start with one practice that sparks curiosity. 

Some beginner-friendly options in the HEY region include: 

• Mindfulness or meditation 

• Reiki 

• Gentle yoga classes 

• Sound baths 

• Relaxation massage 

• Coaching sessions 

Many practitioners offer taster sessions, beginner-friendly classes or easy ways to ease into things. 

A few reminders if you’re starting out: 

You don’t have to be flexible. 
You don’t have to know any terminology. 
You don’t have to believe in anything. 
You don’t have to “get it right.” 
You just have to start.
