Embracing Autumn: Wellbeing, Community & Cozy Moments This October

As the leaves turn golden and the evenings draw in, October invites us to slow down, reflect, and wrap ourselves in warmth. At Empathy Holistics, we believe that autumn is the perfect time for self-care — both for mums and families, and for the community as a whole.

Autumnal Self-Care

As the season changes, many of us feel the shift in our mood and energy. Here are some gentle autumn self-care practices you can try:

• Wrap up warm and take mindful walks among the leaves.
• Create a cosy corner at home with blankets, candles, and a favourite book.
• Enjoy seasonal treats like pumpkin soup or spiced teas as an act of nourishment.
• Journal your thoughts as the year winds down — what are you grateful for this season?

This October, whether you’re joining us at an event, pausing with Calm For You online, or popping a token in at Tesco, you’re part of something bigger: a community rooted in care, connection, and calm.
