Meet Sue Barlow

 

"Motivation & Co. Reading was launched in September 2008 following the opportunity given to me by an inheritance from my great aunt. Her care, attention, love, and laughter featured largely in my life while I was growing up, and this franchise is an expression of my thanks."

 

"My HR training, sales and admin skills, together with voluntary work experience with the elderly and people with learning disabilities, make this the ideal business for me especiallly as I have a keen interest in health and fitness too."

 

"I have built the business up over the last two and a half years and now deliver Motivation & Co. classes in 30 care homes in and around Reading, Bracknell, Basingstoke, Newbury and Henley. It is deeply satisfying to see continued and growing interest in Motivation & Co. Reading with no loss of business in the present economic climate."

 

"The classes are great fun but particularly noteworthy is the unique structure of the Motivation & Co. class which has a striking effect on residents with Dementia."

 

 

 

Testimonials

 

>>Carolyn Padwick, Deputy Manager, Jasmine House, Reading

 

"Sue's Motivation Class is very enjoyable, and everyone benefits in their own way; if not from the mental stimulation section then from the exercises, games, and music. Sue takes the time to develop a rapport with each resident so that she becomes a familiar and reassuring person visiting the home. "

 

>>Premila Juggurnauth, Deputy Manager, The Boltons, Reading

 

"Sue's Motivation Classes are a lot of fun. The residents are sleepy when Sue arrives but soon in a party mood and wide awake by the time she leaves. The classes encourage good group interaction. "

 

>>Fiona Honeyman, Manager, Lovat House, Wokingham

 

"The residents really look forward to Sue's Motivation Classes. Sue's approach to the residents, and her knowledge of their individual needs is excellent. "
