WELCOME TO THE WELL CIC
A gentle local initiative supporting women through movement, mindset, healthy eating and community connection.
What we do
The Well Initiative CIC creates accessible wellbeing spaces for women who may be feeling isolated, overwhelmed, tired, disconnected from their bodies, or unsure where to begin with looking after themselves.
Movement
Gentle yoga, movement, breathwork and body awareness.
Mindset
Reflection, journaling, confidence, nervous system support and simple tools for steadiness.
Healthy Eating
Practical food education, seasonal recipes, label reading, simple meal-building and food-as-medicine wisdom.
Community Connection
Warm, welcoming spaces where women can gather, be heard, share, learn and feel less alone.
Who it is for
The Well Initiative CIC is for women who may be:
feeling isolated or lonely
living with stress, overwhelm or low confidence
navigating midlife, later life or life transitions
recovering from burnout or long-term caring roles
unsure how to begin with movement or healthy eating
uncomfortable in gyms or traditional wellness spaces
on a low income or unable to access private wellbeing support
looking for gentle community and practical encouragement
Why it matters
Many women carry more than they show. Work, family, caring roles, health changes, financial pressure, grief, ageing and isolation can quietly reduce confidence, energy and connection. The Well Initiative CIC exists to offer a softer entry point into wellbeing — practical, local, non-intimidating and rooted in real life. We are not here to add another thing to women’s lists. We are here to help women feel supported enough to begin again.

About the founder
The Well Initiative CIC was founded by Kym Vincenti, a writer, yoga teacher, wellness practitioner and founder of The Well. Kym’s work brings together movement, mindset, nourishment, seasonal living and community connection, with a particular focus on supporting women in midlife and beyond.
Kym currently teaches gentle yoga locally and has spent many years supporting women through writing, retreats, food wisdom, energy work and wellbeing practices.
Difference between The Well and The Well Initiative CIC
The Well is the paid seasonal wellbeing membership.
The Well Initiative CIC is the community project created to support women who may need more accessible local wellbeing support.
They grow from the same root, but serve women in different ways.
