The Balance Sessions

Brunch - Beats - Better Health

Bringing you a relaxed atmosphere and Ibiza vibes alongside evidence-based women’s health talks and a room full of women who get it (and who still want to be able to let their hair down now and again)!

For the woman who’s great at her job, looking after the family, being there for everyone, but somewhere along the way, became the last thing on her own list.

You know you should sleep more, move more, understand what's actually happening with your hormones and your energy but between everything else, there's never the headspace to work out what's actually true, let alone act on it.

And somewhere along the way, you lost the fun too. The nights out, the dancing, the feeling of being properly present with no one needing anything from you, it all got deprioritised.

That’s why I created The Balance Sessions, built entirely around bringing all of it back!

The first session will be held on Friday 18th Sept 11am - 1pm at West Village, Wellington Street, Leeds LS1 1BA and it’s completely free thanks to the generous support of Bruntwood SciTech

Sounds Cool, But What Actually Happens At The Balance Sessions?

  • A DJ set that brings the fun - this is not just background music, this is the part where you remember what it feels like to let your hair down, surrounded by women who are doing exactly the same. Expect dancing!

  • An expert-led talk - grounded in science with practical takeaways that you and use from the moment you leave the room.

  • Relaxed atmosphere with like minded women - no cringy networking, or sales pitches, just good conversations with women who understand exactly where you're at.

  • A proper brunch - good food, good coffee, because a good morning starts with being properly fuelled.

  • A feeling you get to keep - you'll leave with more than just a better understanding of your health and how to take control of it, you leave feeling lighter and more confident, having given yourself permission to do something for you and you get to carry that feeling into the rest of your day.

Who’s Running The Balance Sessions?

Me! I’m Dr Louise Guilfoyle and if we’ve not met, I’m a busy mum of 2, passionate about health, nutrition and exercise. I have a BSc in Biomedical Science and a PhD, and spent 20 years leading clinical health research in academia and the charity sector before founding The Balance Health Coaching. Now I help busy professionals understand the science of health in a way that fits with their busy lives and doesn’t add to the stress and overwhelm.

I Have Questions!

Will I know anyone? Most women come solo, but hopefully you'll leave with new connections, not just new knowledge.

Why is it application-based if it's free? Spaces are limited and the aim is to have a group of like-minded women who genuinely want to be there and will get value from the morning and from each other. The short form takes two minutes.

What if I can't come to this one? Join the waiting list anyway, this is just the beginning, so you'll be the first to hear about the next event and all future sessions.

Why a Friday, not a weekend? For many women, weekends mean childcare to sort, plans to shuffle, one more thing to organise before you can even get out the door. A Friday brunch means you can come as you are, without the admin. Just 2 hours out of your morning and you can go back to your day feeling completely different.
