How can I help you?

 

 

My Theory

Everything I do is based on biological facts. Over the years I’ve developed my own theory, which you can read about fully in my book.

The basis

The human body is an extraordinary piece of engineering. We are made of trillions of cells, all carrying out their individual roles without you ever being aware of it.

Every second, your autonomic nervous system is triggering thousands of chemical reactions throughout your body.

Which chemicals are produced at any given moment is largely influenced by your thoughts and belief system. Those chemicals then influence how your body feels and how it behaves.

Much of our behaviour is unconscious and automatic. We respond to situations based on what we believe is happening and what we believe we should do.

Most of the time, we are simply reacting to our internal programming. When x happens, I do Y. A pattern response.

In that sense, there is no free will.

But once you understand the programme, you can start to change it.

And that’s where real free will begins!

 

Life coaching

 

I qualified as a life coach, hypnotherapist, and NLP practitioner in 2004. I also hold a diploma in counselling, although counselling itself isn’t the approach I prefer.

Counselling often focuses on revisiting the past in great detail — remembering, analysing, and usually reliving painful experiences. The brain doesn't know the difference between what is actually happening and what you are recalling.
When you relive those moments, your body can run the same emotional and chemical responses as when the event first happened. This can cause you great distress!
You already know what happened to you. You don’t need to relive it, to let go of it.
The past has gone, but the effects of the past still shape how you feel today. Maybe that shows up as low self-esteem, anxiety, anger, or a feeling of being stuck.
That’s the part that needs addressing!
You can’t change the past — but you can change your now, and therefore your future.
We will talk about your past, but the focus is on the problem you’re experiencing today. Often what keeps people stuck is a belief or behaviour pattern that once felt useful or protective.
By zooming out and looking at that belief from a different perspective, you can begin to see it differently, and when the belief changes, the behaviour patterns change too.
If you want fast results without years of therapy, get in touch today and discover how you could start feeling better from your very first session.

Trauma Release

It is sad how many of us have suffered traumatic experiences. Probably everyone on the planet to some extent or another! Even a one off encounter can shape a response within you. Your autonomic response system can hear a noise, smell a smell, taste something that elicits a response. An unconscious memory.

What happens when you have lived with traumatic experiences? It shapes you. Your belief systems, the chemicals that run your body, the way you behave towards the world. There is rarely a conscious choice to how you behave.

Trauma is ingrained within every part of you. Your body is made of trillions of cells. All making up different parts of you -bones, organs, muscles, nerves.

Outside of all the bits we have, we have connective tissue called fascia. Fascia is like our bubble wrap. It fills up all the space within our body holding everything in place. Helping things to move freely and protecting it from harm.

If you have lived with trauma, your fascia is used to tensing. Every time you tense, your fascia tenses.  Cortisol, the stress hormone, dehydrates the  fascia and makes it sticky causing fascial adhesions. Fascia thickens making movements harder. Each microcontraction you make defensively can make fascia tighter or it sticks together making movement restricted and imprints a somatic memory of traumatic events. 

There are a number of ways to release trauma from the body. These are what I offer

Talking therapy:

Sharing is caring right? Talking about your experience enables you to zoom out from the situation. Looking at it from different perspectives. Seeing it differently. Once you see things differently you don’t necessarily feel completely healed. That fascia is still locked. Your nervous system is still responding.

Meditation/ Hypnotherapy:

Guided meditations, relaxation, hypnotherapy. Releasing your body from responding to the past trauma as though it was still continuing.

Energy therapy:

Another meditation but more powerful. We are made up of energy. It’s a scientific fact that energy vibrates. When trauma is stuck in the body it causes energy blockage. By going into deep relaxation we focus on the energy moving it around the body until you come to a blockage, During the meditation we break down the blockage, washing it away. Releasing the trauma from the body.

Yoga:

Yoga strengthens and stretches not only muscles but it stretches the fascia as well. Where once there was tightness, yoga releases. Where there is injury, yoga stretches. There is often a lot of trauma and emotions stuck around the hips. A yoga flow designed to release trauma, help you open your chest and use your voice more. It’s a beautiful flow that helps release you from trauma and build a better you.
