About Avalon Wellness Community

Hi I'm Lindsay and I'm a qualified Cognitive Hypnotherapist. I started the Avalon Wellness Community (AWC) networking group in June 2024 because I couldn't find a networking group local to mid Somerset just for the health and wellbeing industry. I did find some groups in Taunton and Bristol, but it would have meant taking most of a day to travel and network and potentially not make any connections.

It's a FREE event which is helpful for so many people in this economic climate and for new start ups or growing businesses like myself. The group has a social media presence on Facebook and Instagram, so why don't you give us a follow to keep up to date.

A bit about why I set up the group

Find out about the ethos and aims of the group.

In my previous career I have been to many networking events where it was just swapping business cards and nothing coming of it. I always felt out of my depth and a total imposter.

Local to Street in Somerset, I saw many practitioners from Drama therapists, Counsellors, Hypnotherapists, Hairdressers, Skin therapists, Yoga teachers, Pilates teachers and thought that if they were like me, a buisness of one then they might feel the same. Lonely.

I have never set up a networking group before so I met Camilla who was running a general networking group and asked her to help me set this one up. Thankfully she said yes! Unfortunately her work commitments changed and she had to step back and I did consider not doing it any longer but I thought "what could go wrong?". I might as well try and see what happens.

Here we are in 2025 with a collaboration with the Street and Glastonbury Chamber of Commerce and going from strength to strength. I have met some amazing people in the 2024 and we now have regulars that love the community so much they keep coming back!

The ethos and aim for the group:

  • A safe space
  • Non judgemental
  • Friendly
  • Fun
  • Signposting
  • Community spirit
  • Friendship
  • Sounding board for any business issues
