About Us

Relax for Health was founded in 2004 by Gillian Lenane and Marion Howells. We had discovered, as complementary health tutors & practitioners and also long term meditators, how important meditation was to both ourselves and our clients. We distilled and refined our many years of meditation experience into a simple yet profound style, and now have considerable experience of running courses and retreats in the local community.

Our mission and values

At Relax for Health, our mission is to introduce the many benefits of meditation and deep relaxation to individuals and groups through our courses, workshops, retreats and products.

We strongly believe that human beings require a rhythm of rest and action, and that time for contemplation and renewal are essential for our health & well being, and we believe in the infinite potential of the human spirit, regardless of gender, age, race or disability.

We run an inspirational and ethical business, and endeavour to bring the values of truth, integrity, respect, peace, compassion, authenticity and trust into all our business affairs.
