A Little Bit About Me

Welcome to Relax Kids Belfast with Sinead York

Hi, I’m Sinead York – founder of Relax Kids Belfast and a fully qualified Relax Kids Coach since 2016. I’m passionate about supporting children's mental health and emotional wellbeing through fun, engaging, and meaningful sessions. Since beginning this journey, I’ve had the privilege of working with over 10,000 children, helping them grow in confidence, emotional resilience, and self-awareness.

Through every session, whether in a classroom, community centre, or     1-1’s in my Ballyhackamore practice I aim to give children tools that last a lifetime. Using the proven Relax Kids 7 Steps to Relaxation, I teach techniques that help young people regulate their emotions, reduce anxiety, and feel more calm, confident, and in control.

Whether I’m working in schools, youth groups, charities, health trusts, or councils, my mission is always the same: to empower the next generation to thrive emotionally, socially, and mentally.

My Story

 

Believe it or not, I started my career in the fast-paced world of TV, film, and broadcasting. After having my two beautiful daughters, I found that the high-pressure environment and long hours no longer fitted with the kind of life I wanted to build for myself or my family. I wanted to make a change that brought more purpose, more balance, and more connection.

My husband, who also worked at broadcasting had retrained as a hypnotherapist and was seeing first-hand the power of mental wellbeing support. His journey, combined with a heartbreaking statistic that 1 in 5 children in Northern Ireland struggles with mental health opened my eyes and pulled at my heart. That’s when I discovered Relax Kids.

In 2016, I trained as a Relax Kids coach and never looked back.

Shortly after, my husband and I opened our wellbeing practice for both our businesses in the heart of Ballyhackamore, East Belfast, a space for children, families and individuals to find calm and support. Today, I’m proud to be the longest-running Relax Kids Coach in Belfast, and even more proud of the thousands of we lives touched through our work.

If you're looking for a safe, joyful, and nurturing space where your child (or your whole family) can build resilience, relax, and shine—you're in the right place.

Let’s help children grow up feeling calm, confident, and capable.
