The Soulful Wellness Fair 2nd edition: Akua Paintsil
The Soulful Wellness Fair is thrilled to introduce Akua Paintsil, a multifaceted soul-preneur who wears many hats – a qualified social worker, a travel business owner specialising in wellness retreats & venues, Movement & Music is Medicine (MIM) instructor, and a passionate advocate for holistic well-being.
More Than One Kind of Magic:
Akua's life journey is a testament to the power of embracing diverse passions and turning them into tools for personal and communal growth. As a social worker, she directly helps people thrive by providing professional support. This dedication extends beyond her profession, as she curates transformative travel experiences focused on wellness retreats. Here, she caters to individuals seeking a deeper connection to themselves and the world around them.
Movement & Music: A Lifelong Love Story:
But Akua's true magic lies in her ability to blend her lifelong love for music and movement into the practice of MIM. Music has always been her anchor, from childhood memories filled with the vibrant rhythms of Drum & Bass and jungle, to formal training on instruments like the cello and violin. Notably, music was the only subject that truly resonated with her, a testament to its profound impact on her soul.
From Disconnection to Discovery:
Life's challenges, particularly childhood trauma, took Akua away from the joy of music. In her late 30s, chronic stress and exhaustion took their toll, disconnecting her from the very source of her well-being. It was during this low point that she rediscovered music and movement through the work of Emma, the founder of MIM.
Healing from Within & Sharing the Gift:
Akua trained as an MIM instructor, initially to heal herself. Learning how to manage stress, regulate her nervous system, and reconnect with the power of movement and music proved to be a transformative experience. Today, her mission is to share this gift with others.
Why Movement & Music Matter:
Stress is a ubiquitous force, wreaking havoc on our health and well-being. Akua believes in education and empowerment. By equipping individuals with stress management tools and the powerful practices of movement and music, she aims to help them cultivate overall well-being and reclaim their inner spark.
