Family Wellbeing
We offer welcoming sessions for families in West Cumbria with the aim of promoting family wellbeing. Our Juniper Seedlings and Saplings courses include baby massage, music and movement with an emphasis on bonding and spending quality time with your baby. Our classes are held in community spaces, and we offer a chance to learn some beautiful, nurturing skills to support your baby’s emotional, social, sensory, and physical development. Our sessions are all baby-led and relaxed, with a focus of parent and baby mental health.
Juniper Creative Wellbeing
Creativity is very important to us and we are really passionate about developing and facilitating sessions focusing on wellbeing, creativity and community.
We have been working in partnership with Rosehill Theatre in Whitehaven since the summer of 2024 and have since developed a series of creative wellbeing sessions for family carers. We co-created sessions with the aim of offering a welcoming, supportive and inclusive space to promote wellbeing and offer much-needed 'me time' for parent carers. The project initially ran from August 2024 to April 2025 and this has morphed into an exciting new phase, working with some amazing artists. We will launch this at Harbour Fest in Whitehaven in August 2025.
Benefits of being part of the Juniper Community
One of our main focuses is to support family wellbeing, so we offer sessions where parents and primary carers can meet other people going through similar experiences with the aim of developing supportive friendships. We are aware that parenting can be isolating and exhausting, so we offer time at the end of our sessions for people to have a hot drink and a biscuit, and the opportunity to chat with other people within the group. Parents have told us how much they appreciate this time, as it has provided them with a chance to chat and share experiences while having a much-needed cuppa.
