You might be wondering what a puffin has to do with stopping va**ng...

In this instance, quite a lot!

Earlier this year, I worked with a client who wanted to stop va**ng. After years of smoking and va**ng, and living with COPD, he knew he needed to make a change if he was going to achieve something important to him.

A trip to Skomer Island with his son.

The island is famous for its puffins and seals, but it also involves a climb of 87 steps. He wanted to give himself the best possible chance of enjoying the day rather than worrying about his breathing.

A few months later, I received a message from him. Attached were these incredible photographs of puffins and seals.

He'd made the trip, achieved his goal, and he was creating memories with his son instead of being held back by an old habit.

One of the things I love most about my work is that change isn't really about what people give up, it's about what becomes possible when they do.

I've written more about his story and why it meant so much to him on my latest blog.

If there's a habit you'd like to change, or a healthier future version of yourself you'd like to move towards, I'd love to help.

I get asked this a lot!

I work with lots of people online - especially referrals for family and friends who live across the UK. But I also work with clients in America, Canada and Europe.

Employee wellness workshops are fantastic online, especially for those who work from home or when employees are out on location in their roles so can access from home in the evening instead.

Some people choose to work online even though they live close to me, due to disability, work or parenting schedules.

Great that it's so accessible! ✨

✨ What a lovely evening at Wimborne Wellness Network! ✨

Last night I had the pleasure of speaking to a wonderful group of local wellness professionals and business owners at the Wimborne Wellness Network, hosted by the amazing Michelle Reade Coaching.

I guided everyone through a visualisation exercise, giving them an opportunity to pause, relax and connect with their goals, intentions and possibilities. It was wonderful to see everyone embracing the experience and sharing their reflections afterwards.

The energy in the room was fantastic, and it was great to make new connections and strengthen existing ones.

A huge thank you to for organising such a welcoming and inspiring event, inspiring us with social media insights, and bringing together passionate people who are all working to support health, wellbeing and personal growth within our local community. and to everyone who attended and took part.

I’m looking forward to seeing where all these new conversations and collaborations lead!

✨ Were you there? I’d love to hear what your biggest takeaway from the evening was.

Clinical solution focused hypnotherapy uses a combination of talk therapy, NLP and clinical hypnosis to directly access the subconscious, shift mindset and make positive change.

That's how clients can often immediately see results from the first session, or even after the free initial consultation.

If talk therapy hasn't worked for you, or you like the idea of future focused, forward looking solutions rather than delving into the past, I can help either in person or online.

9 out of 10 clients (adults and children) working with me feel a shift after the first session.

Take the first step ...what have you got to lose? More importantly, what do you stand to lose if things don't change?
