The festive season can fill our diaries quickly, but a special December event at A Blissful Balance in Wellesbourne offers a lovely opportunity to slow down, enjoy a little pampering and support a local cause.

Taking place on Saturday 5 December, from 10.30am to 12.30pm, Christmas at A Blissful Balance will bring together mini treatments, wellness taster sessions and festive refreshments, while raising money for Fosse Foodbank in Wellesbourne.

Visitors can explore the women’s wellness space, meet its practitioners and discover different approaches to supporting body and mind. Live music from Katy Rose Lyrical Memories, alongside mince pies and Bucks Fizz, will add some Christmas cheer, with gift vouchers and stocking fillers available for anyone looking for a thoughtful present.

Discover a space dedicated to women’s wellbeing

Owner Karin Minton opened A Blissful Balance on School Road in August, transforming the former Wellesbourne Parish Council premises into a welcoming wellness venue. The opening marked a significant expansion just 18 months after she started her business.

Since then, Karin has brought together a growing team offering treatments and therapies including massage, reflexology, advanced facials, reiki, lymphatic drainage, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, sound healing, counselling and coaching.

At the Christmas event, visitors can meet Sarah Harris of Reiki Healing by Sarah, mindfulness coach Sarah Hogben, Sarah Jane Etheridge of Beautiful Minds Hypnotherapy, Christine Crowton of Mind, Body, Sole, Maria Forrester of Mama Soul, Louise Lawrence of Tiny Trees Holistic Therapies, health coach Elsa Wye and sound healing practitioner Jen Chalmers. Some practitioners will also offer taster sessions, giving visitors a chance to try something new.

“Christmas is a wonderful opportunity to bring people together, and that’s exactly what we want to do at A Blissful Balance,” said Karin.

“As a dedicated women’s wellness venue, we’re creating a relaxed, festive morning where the local community can explore our space, meet our practitioners and discover everything we offer to support women’s wellbeing.

“With gift vouchers and stocking fillers available too, we hope to create a little Christmas magic for everyone who visits.”

Making women feel seen

At the heart of Karin’s approach is a commitment to welcoming the women she describes as the “Unseen Woman”: those whose needs can so often be overlooked while navigating difficult experiences or significant changes in life.

Her clients include women experiencing bereavement, divorce, perimenopause, menopause, chronic illness and mental health challenges, as well as those recovering from operations or rebuilding their lives after domestic violence. The venue aims to offer a supportive space where women can take time for themselves and explore the services available.

The business has also attracted awards recognition, including finalist places at The Beauty Full Awards, Best Business in the UK Small Business category and The Beauty Awards’ Beauty Excellence category, alongside a Highly Recommended Award from Fresha.
