Nutrition for Performance and Wellbeing
With Suzy Walgate
This session can be delivered as a one hour overview or a series of sessions exploring the effects of different food, and drink on our performance and wellbeing.
Our bodies are miraculous machines that are designed to be fuelled and driven by the food we eat. Food is not just calories, it is medicine – some food is full of good energy medicine and some food is SO unhelpful that it actually robs us of energy while the body tries to process it.
As we deal with life’s many challenges – juggling work life with home life, we want to have a spring in our step, feel a zest for life, enthusiastic about our work, look good, slow down the ageing process, and be at the top of our game.
In this talk we will unravel some of the myths and the confusion that has developed around what we should (and shouldn’t) eat and learn some simple principles on eating for health and optimum performance.
Healthy eating does not need to be complicated or dull. You’ll learn how to make the best choices for your lunch box or what to choose in restaurants and cafes during your working day. You’ll also learn how to manage your shopping and fridge for tasty nutritious options at home, which allow for a restful nights sleep, leaving you feeling energised in the morning and ready for the day.
Nutrition is foundational to health, and it’s in our hands. With some simple guidance and a few small changes we’ll help you transform the health of your body and your mind.
Suzy gave a fascinating speech about wellbeing which included effective and fast stress management techniques, nutrition, yoga at the office desk and much more. Everyone was very impressed. Her presentation style was superb, engaging, energetic, and educational, and much of it has been put into practice already!”

SHIATSU
With Matthew Leavey
Shiatsu is Japanese for finger pressure. This powerful treatment involves applying pressure on the meridians (energetic channels that run through all body parts) and working on the musculoskeletal system. The treatments awaken the body’s potential to heal itself. Shiatsu works on a deep and superficial level. Deep work induces a meditative state that encourages relaxation and reduces the effects of long-term stress, whilst superficial focuses on stretching and relaxing muscles, freeing up joints and realigning the spine. Regular sessions make a real difference to quality of life as well as preserving wellbeing and enhancing daily performance.
Shiatsu is available as a 60 min treatment for individuals at our centre in Surrey or as part of a programme for organisations. For the latter, please contact us to discuss.

Presenter Matthew Leavey
Matthew first came to Shiatsu through his 30 years of martial arts training. Having suffered various injuries, he discovered its ability to alleviate pain and this became his directing force towards learning Shiatsu and the healing arts. His early Shiatsu training inspired him to study 24 form Yang Style Tai Chi with Lei Lei Chu and he later returned to study Tai Chi Chuan Qi-Gong, Hsing Yi and Kung Fu with master Peter Warr. Matthew has incredible understanding of the rhythm and density of the human body and his Shiatsu sessions squeeze, bend and stretch the body to expertly work out any blockages, aches and pains that are caused by injury, inactivity, stress or illness. His clients range an entire demographic, from high-profile city bankers to professional athletes, octogenarians to infants. He treats each with vision, energy and empathy. He helped with the delivery of his own son using Shiatsu, tai chi and yoga with special breathing and hypnosis. As well as being extremely well qualified, Matthew works very much on an intuitive level. He specialises in Shiatsu-do, a style of Japanese acu-pressure massage. He holds a Dip BSSD in Shiatsu as well as a Dip BRSRM in Remedial Massage. He is a member of the Shiatsu Society and also has a Cert Ed Teaching Qualification from London’s Metropolitan University. His specialisms are: • Recovery and mobilisation from stress and exertion • Acupressure massage (Shiatsu) • Mind-calming and deep relaxation.
