LATEST NEWS...
There is space at the Table for YOU
Connect with Beyond the Storm Community at our wellness collective session who meet monthly.
What is “Beyond the Storm Wellness Collective”?
It is a new initiative to connect hope-filled, spiritually curious individuals who are seeking more than what the world demands of us. It is a safe space to explore wellness and spirituality with a different theme each month e.g. Rest, Growth, Choice, Boundaries.
Who are the sessions led by?
The sessions are led by Rachel Baxter who is passionate about faith, wellness and community. She is an advocate for people living with chronic health conditions, not just because of her professional background in healthcare and faith leadership, but also because she understands from a personal perspective the importance of recovery support from Burnout, trauma injury and management of long-term conditions.
Rachel has found that being around people who are open to new possibilities and have a hunger for living life to the full. Are we connecting with hope-filled people? The people we engage with are vital to our well-being, and having pockets of time with people who welcome peace, joy and love is sacred.
We all have a story to tell; however, we must recognise that we have a choice in how our story continues. Our previous chapters do not define us; how we approach the next chapter is influenced by our belief system. We encourage an open heart and mind which allows us to be gently shaped into who God originally designed us to be.
What can I expect from the sessions?
The sessions aim to be a place where we fill our cup with love, peace, hope and joy. We encourage personal growth through exploring individual gifts/talents and enrich our community through optional collaborative engagement.
Join Rachel as she leads the group in a safe space, encouraging connection, firstly with ourselves through a grounding exercise, but more importantly helping us meditate on God's word and pause in God's presence through meditative prayer. We use the spiritual practice of Lectio Divina through a devotional resource called Lectio 365 which helps us to find a deeper, more fulfilling and more fruitful relationship with God.
Check out the link below to find out how you can use this devotional resource.
This rhythm of meditative prayer has helped transform Rachel's mind, body and soul and when we find something that works for us, we naturally want to share it with others. The devotional follows the format P.R.A.Y - Pause.
- Reflect.
- Ask.
- Yield.
This rhythm helps us to slow down and connect with God.
As we enter prayer, we PAUSE to be still, to breathe slowly, to re-center our scattered senses upon the presence of God. We use the time to thoughtfully REFLECT on Scripture before bringing our needs and the needs of others before God, ASKING Him to guide and help us. And finally (and probably most importantly!) we YIELD to God, surrendering to God's will, listening for His voice and committing to follow His lead.
The purpose of the session is to come together in prayer, inviting the Holy Spirit to guide and encourage us, before we explore what comes up for us through a mindful creative activity.
There is absolutely no expectation for anyone to participate in the activity if just being present and sitting quietly is enough.
I am not religious, I would describe myself as spiritual. Is this group for me?
You are most welcome to come as you are, with faith or no belief, spiritually curious or not quite sure where you are in your spiritual journey. You may just know that you have a real thirst for peace, joy and hope in your life and you have found yourself here. This is a safe space to explore our own understanding of life and purpose, there is no place for judgement within our group, and we kindly ask for respect when we listen to others who may be coming at faith from a different angle than our own.
We encourage wellness and spiritual growth whilst respecting individual beliefs, values and faith. We are saving a seat for you!
How much do the sessions cost?
The sessions are FREE however if you would like to contribute towards the cost of room hire, refreshments and materials there is a donation box available.
The purpose of this group is to reach everyone, whatever our circumstances; therefore, if you are not in a position to contribute financially at the moment, please do not feel obliged to do so. Alternatively, if you are in a position to 'pay it forward' for people who aren't able to pay, this is also an option to help sustain future sessions.
We can achieve more when we gather together. I look forward to seeing you there.
You are always welcome, whether it's just for one session or a regular monthly protected time in your diary.

SEASONAL RETREATS...
DAY RETREATS
In 2025 we enjoyed a day of RENEWAL starting with an awakening of our body with mindful movement, deep rest and gentle healing in the morning with local Yoga Instructor 'Zen with Paula'.
Followed with a nutritious lunch cooked for us by The Energised Woman- Jo Bibby (Wellness Coach and Podcaster who specialises in Nutrition and Menopause).
Fired up from lunch we gave our body a rest and allow the meal to digest whilst we exercise our mind and spirit. We explored deeper meanings of 'Renewal' and what it means for us individually through a creative activity which allowed space to reflect and set intentions for the season ahead.
Our senses were uplifted as we gifted a specially crafted DoTerra essential oil blend created especially for our RENEW retreat by Cynthia Alcantara Casillas - South Yorkshire's DoTerra Wellness Consultant.
We closed the day with reflection, gratitude for the present and intention for the season ahead. It was such a pleasure to share this special day with such beautiful souls. I am already looking forward to our next retreat. Watch this space for further details.

Discover Beyond the Storm
Is it for me?
Discover tailored Coaching and Personal Assistance Plans at Beyond the Storm that meet your individual needs.
The Coaching element helps you navigate your life path and the Personal Assistance service (if needed) can support you in achieving the goals you set.
For example, you may identify in your coaching sessions that it is your social limitations that is holding you back from flourishing and this is where the Personal Assistance service can help you take those first steps. We have experience of working with people who have:-
- Additional Learning Needs
- Generalised Anxiety Disorder
- Low self-esteem and confidence
- Neurodiversity
- Physical injury and recovery.
Holistic Approach
Our holistic approach ensures that every aspect of your life is considered. We integrate emotional, physical, mental and spiritual well-being into our Personal Assistance and Coaching sessions.
We understand that it is often difficult to talk about life challenges therefore we offer a variety of settings to connect with you.
- Do you need a quiet confidential space? You are best suited to the traditional coaching environment - Beyond the Storm Home Studio based in Worksop.
- Prefer to be out and about? Let's meet in a local cafe, garden centre, library or wellbeing centre.
- Not quite ready for either of the above? We can arrange home visits short term (within 10 mile radius of Worksop, Nottinghamshire).
Community Support
It may be that you just need some temporary support at home to rebuild your independence and confidence with activities of daily living. For example; help with setting up a online shop food delivery or being there to support you in receiving it and putting it away when it is delivered, cooking a meal etc.
Get in touch to see how we can support you to regain your independence.
Group Activities
Maybe your life circumstances have changed and you would like to try something new, meet like-minded people and reignite your spark for life again. Then our group activity sessions are for you.
It is proven that quality connection with others, sharing experiences and learning from one another improves many aspects of our health and well-being.
Join our engaging group activities designed to foster community and support. Together, we explore various techniques to help you unlock your inner joy and potential.
