The mind and body are not separate.

The ancient Chinese practice of Tai Chi recognises this connection and promotes both physical and mental health, through specific exercises, movements, meditation and mental focus. An excellent way to maintain overall health and fitness, and my classes are listed on the Tai Chi page.

However, sometimes we can benefit from some specific help to deal with the challenges of life.

Problems arise when we develop negative beliefs about ourselves or about the world. This will then affect the way we feel and behave.  We can generate anxiety and fear, or lose our self esteem or confidence; this blocks our happiness and prevents us from being fulfilled. 

My skills and abilities constitute a gentle and effective 'talking' therapy, drawn from hypnosis and 'block clearance' psychotherapy. My aim is to help you to turn negative experiences into positive learning, so you become stronger and more empowered to deal with your life. 

Where there is anxiety or fear, we can use deep relaxation techniques to relieve the symptoms and gain control of the physiological reaction.

We may also use a process of guided visualization to connect with the events and experiences that created our negative beliefs.  This provides an objective understanding of our challenges, which then enables us to find more positive and constructive solutions and resources to deal with them.

There are times when we may simply need support and the space to allow ourselves to heal.  Not every problem needs to be confronted.  Reiki is a 'hands-on healing' technique whereby universal energy is channelled to the recipient, thought to enhance the body's natural healing ability, and helping to restore inner strength.
