It is better to travel than to arrive

Relaxing Alternatives was founded in May 2004 by founder Karen Wilson. Discovering she was pregnant with her first daughter Olivia and working in a fast paced stressful environment was all the motivation Karen needed to change the direction of her life. She turned a passion into a business and continues to build the Relaxing Alternatives brand with sheer determination and enthusiasm.

With the arrival of her second daughter Megan in August 2006 Karen continues to be inspired and motivated by her children. “Though tired and frazzled at times the girls remind me just how important my health really is. Without a good source of energy and vitality I would never be able to run a business, a home and raise two children. Going to work with that thought helps us create innovative and interesting services for the clients”

When she’s not delivering workshops, writing newsletters and working on new business ideas, Karen can be found stretching her limbs at her yoga class or playing football and feeding ducks in the local park with her family.

As Relaxing Alternatives continues to flourish, life in the office is far from relaxing at times! "We feel the stresses and strains of daily life just as much as everyone else" comments Denise (head of R.A therapy team) "however we all take responisbilty for our own wellbeing. Having learnt how to look after the mind, body and soul we are better able to cope with lifes ups and downs".
