This month, we spoke with Palma Palmer, Founder of HarmonyWell Health to find out about the Core, Balance & Strength Training, Breathing Work Practices, Personal Training, Reiki, Tarot Reading, Confidence, and Nutrition services she can offer to a care home. As a highly skilled and knowledgeable advocate for holistic wellness, we are proud to share HarmonyWell Health’s offerings as our Activity of the Month.
At HarmonyWell Health, Palma, has a mission that goes beyond just fitness and wellbeing. With a holistic approach, she offers bespoke exercises, tailored to individual needs, alongside her extensive knowledge of nutrition, supplements, and healthy sleep habits. Her goal is to create daily commitments that are not only sustainable but also enjoyable.
Palma’s offerings include a variety of services such as Core Strength Balance, Strength Training, Reiki, Massage, and Mindfulness with Sound Bath Therapy. These sessions are designed to be engaging and accessible, with group activities typically lasting an hour. However, recognising that some individuals require a more personalised approach, Palma also provides one-on-one sessions.
Equipped with a comprehensive range of gym equipment, Palma ensures that her clients have everything they need for an effective workout. From light to heavy resistance bands, boxing gloves, free-standing punching bags, Pilates balls, and kettlebells, she brings it all. For her Reiki sessions, she creates a serene environment using a Tibetan singing bowl, KYHK wind chime, lavender spray mist, soothing music, and soft lighting to promote calmness, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep.
Palma’s approach is rooted in the belief that maintaining low inflammation and strong immunity is key to overall well-being. She prioritises building strong connections with her clients, including residents, carers, and family members, often offering free massages and healing sessions to those in need of a little extra care. This emphasis on connection is what sets HarmonyWell Health apart, making clients feel like part of a family.
Working closely with activity leaders in care homes, Palma ensures that each session is thoughtfully planned and executed at the optimal time. Her journey into the care sector began with a personal motivation—caring for her parents who are living with dementia. Inspired by their needs, she introduced Reiki, mindfulness, sound therapy, strength training, and boxing to care settings, starting with Signature Weybridge and Avery Parklands Manor Care Home in Chertsey. The warm reception from these homes encouraged her to continue expanding her reach.
Palma’s services are designed to lift anxiety, de-stress the body, and help individuals find peace, manage pain, and sleep better. Leading by example, she encourages residents to try new things, challenge themselves, and celebrate their progress. At 56, Palma is a source of energy and enthusiasm, often described as the best cheerleader by those she works with.
Seeing a gap in the market, Palma has made it her mission to grow HarmonyWell Health. She is currently seeking funding to expand her team, allowing her to reach more individuals, not only in care settings but also in private homes. Her vision includes launching a senior roadshow podcast, where she can share tips and give seniors a platform to tell their stories, which she believes the world needs to hear.
Palma told us she feels “blessed” to work in the care sector, where giving her energy, knowledge, time, and nurturing is her true purpose. She actively encourages third parties to join her exercise classes, Reiki, and mindfulness sessions, fostering a sense of belonging and trust among participants.
This October, Palma will extend her services to the staff members at the Royal Surrey County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, offering complimentary Reiki, mindfulness, fitness, and nutrition advice. It’s yet another step in her ongoing commitment to enhancing the well-being of those around her.
HarmonyWell Health is more than just a business—it’s a passion project that Palma is devoted to growing, driven by her belief in the transformative power of personalised care and community connection.
