Rise Young Minds Sanctuary

01/09/2026

We do also have space left for fully funded children’s Reiki sessions that start next week

Referrals are now open for our next group and 1 to 1 Reiki sessions . Please email [email protected] with your contact details and we will send a brief referral form .

Please share with anyone who you think may benefit .

Thanks to the generous funding from Wirral CVSand The Stephen Beard Foundation, we are able to offer this current project completely free of charge, ensuring that finances are not a barrier to support.

This project will offer a safe, non-clinical space at the RISE Young Minds Sanctuary for children and young people aged 8–17 who are struggling with their mental and emotional health.

All appropriate referrals will be offered an initial mental health consultation to ensure the service is suitable. If we do not think our service best meets the young persons needs. Then we will signpost to a more appropriate service. With your consent, if a child is already open to another mental health service, we will consult with that team and where appropriate work alongside side them.

1 to 1 Reiki and Relaxation sessions are held at Positivity Club CIC Hoylake between 10 and 3 Mondays from the 7th of September . Parents remain with the young person ( and usually join in the meditation 🥰 )

Who We Are
Here is a reminder of who is behind Rise Young Minds Sanctuary and the experience we bring. Between us, we have over 40 years’ experience as NHS Mental Health Nurses, primarily within Children and Young Persons Mental Health Services.

Our experience spans a wide range of NHS settings, including clinical leadership roles within acute mental health wards and therapeutic work within community mental health services.

These gentle, non-invasive practices can help reduce anxiety, improve emotional regulation, and build resilience, particularly for young people who may not respond well to traditional talking therapy.

We now have a website: www.risecic.co.uk.

We are very excited and honoured to be offering this work.

Please share with anyone this may resonate with.

These workshops, will enable young people to use skills such as Meditation, Mindfulness, and Energy healing for their own mental and emotional health and well being .

The Reiki I attunement we give to each child are the same as the ones during an adult Reiki 1 Class but more gentle . the teaching and manual is fun and child friendly.

At Rise we our really excited to announce we are planning our first mental health awareness training which will be running in October.

We believe your children’s mental health journey starts at home , and it’s imperative parents / cares are informed how they can best support their children.

This will be a three day course lead by two mental health nurses with over 20 years experience working within children’s and family mental health services . We also have young adults and carers with lived experience as guest speakers talking about their journey and what tools helped them .

I thought I’d share an old post of house Rise was born ❤️

“Behind the scenes this week myself and Jess have been busy setting up Rise Young Minds Sanctuary as a Community Interest company. We want to be able to support the local community, by offering hollistic therapeutic interventions to those who may experience financial barriers or long waiting lists within mental health settings. A sense of community is really important to us and we can not wait to welcome you to ours .

A little more about Rise....
Before we even knew the name , or what we where offering we both agreed that the logo had to include a dragonfly.
Rise was born after I taught Jess ( My friend and NHS colleague of 20 years ) to level 1 Reiki. During the Reiki attunement a beautiful dragon fly came and visited Jess weaving around her . Then every business meeting we had to discuss the birthing of Rise we where honoured to have a dragonfly messenger join us.

Dragonflys symbolise transformation, rebirth, growth , hope, healing and a reminder you are on the right path . These are important messages for us at Rise Young Minds

Aimee and Jess ❤️”

2 years on and how we have risen , and grown ourselves as was as our business.

If you would like to refer your child to fully funded mental health sessions either individual or group please see previous posts for further details .

Some recent wins at Rise 🙏 . During our last group session we received some gorgeous feedback which makes us happy , it’s why we do what we do . A lovely 9 year old boy with ASD, ADHD, and Dsypraxia who had not been able to attend school or groups due to anger , impulsivity and struggling to concentrate joined us. We saw the opposite of anger , yes he struggled to concentrate at times but we get it , he’s got a busy mind , that what busy minds do . He struggled with impulsivity during the first Reiki and meditation but by session 4 he could rest , and fully engage looking so peaceful and relaxed . He asked if he could come back as this was the first time he had ever made friends and felt accepted by a group for being able to be himself. ❤️

Another young boy with similar difficulties who had never been able to attend 1 to 1 sessions or groups due to anxiety and social communication difficulties attended a private Reiki session. It was very difficult for mum to even get him through the door , he wanted to leave . At Rise we have no pressure or targets to meet so we can work at people’s pace . It was obvious this young person had no trust so we worked on that first and their body was so tense there was no way he was going to relax . After just 3 sessions of us building trust , he was able to softern and engage in a short meditation Session. Most neurodivergent kids are very sensitive to the likes of energy and sound so we work differently with shorter sessions. Mums feedback was that he enjoyed it , wanted to come back for more , and had been able to spend time with friends without becoming dysregulated which was a big thing .

At Rise we have over 40 years of working as children and adolescents mental health nurses,so we have vast experience of holding space . This is why what we offer is so unique we combine our nursing experience with holistic therapeutic interventions.

We are open for referrals for both group and individual work , please see previous posts for information how you can refer .
