The idea of having a baby is a beautiful dream for most couples, but the reality of having children can be really HARD.
Children trigger our deep childhood hurts and that image of yourself as a perfect parent might have turned ugly!
You don’t have to keep doing that to yourself, your partner or your children.
If you’re struggling with any area of your life as a parent and want to shift it to be a better mother, father or partner, why wait? Sort your stuff out now and enjoy a happier life. It’s a gift to your kids. It really is a simple process.
I do RTT hypnotherapy and counselling. My clients feel better after one session. You’ll find the answers and learn how to move forward. You can trust me to hear you, nurture you, guide you. It’s affordable and simple.
If this has touched something in you and you want to know more, I’m happy to chat or answer all your questions in a DM. You have nothing to lose and a happy life to gain. I can’t wait to hear from you. 💕💕 Karen

Hi lovely 💗 I'm still here to help you prepare for your baby's birth, but I'm also helping people change their lives. Here's how:
WHAT IS A THERAPEUTIC COACH?
Someone who’s close enough to care, but far enough away from your problem to help you look at it with different eyes.
NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO? WANT SOMEONE TO LISTEN TO YOU?
I’m here for you. Get the confusion out of your head. Talk through your issues. Make sense of what’s happening in your life. Find a way to move forward.
THIS IS OFTEN ENOUGH TO LEAVE YOU FEELING RELIEVED, LIGHT AND FREE.
All sessions are completely confidential. If you want guidance I’ll give you some ideas. If you just want to talk, just talk and I’ll listen. If you’d like a recording to listen to so that the changes can be programmed in, I’ll make one for your specific issue. 1 ½ hour sessions online or in person.
WANT TO EXPLORE THE ROOT CAUSE OF YOUR ISSUE?
The deep seated reason why you do the things you do can be found using hypnotherapy, and once you understand WHY and WHEN it began, you can let it go and replace it with better thoughts and beliefs. RTT Hypnotherapy 30 day program online or in person.
Let me know if I can help you or someone you know sort out your stuff and live a happier life. I'm here for you 🥰

Hi gorgeous. Is 2025 your time to shine? If you have bad habits, old beliefs, pain or lack in your life, how much longer are you going to put up with them?
In the past month I've spoken to people with these issues:
monthly migraines
unable to set boundaries with their family
afraid to swim at the beach
terrible sleep for 35 years
ongoing anxiety which prevents them from doing the sport they love
fear of driving
unexplained aching feet
feeling lonely even in a crowd
awful menopausal symptoms
Using RTT hypnotherapy, I can help with all these problems. Imagine a life where your problem is completely gone and you are free to thrive?
Hypnotherapy is not scary. You are in complete control. You relax and we have a conversation to find the root cause of your problems.
People are amazed at how simple RTT is. It's not expensive. It's safe and relaxing and can even be fun! It's free to find out more so if you're ready to feel different by Easter, give me a call. There's no obligation if it doesn't feel right to you.
RTT has made a huge difference to my life and I'd love to help you change yours for the better.
What are you waiting for? Could this be the answer to your problems?

A confident partner who knows what to do when you're in labour will make all the difference to your birth. Is your partner ready? Have they learned and practiced simple but powerful tools to make you feel safe and supported during contractions? Do they know how to ask questions and what their role is when you go to Labourland and can't speak up?
Join me for a small, fun 3 hour birth class with your partner to fill in all the gaps and prepare you both for a positive, confident and empowered birth of your precious baby. You'll both love it!
