The NHS is under immense pressure right now. You only have to speak to a nurse, doctor, or frontline worker to feel the weight they’re carrying daily.

Long hours, emotional strain, impossible demand, and still they show up to serve . I have deep respect for the people holding that system together.

At the same time, it highlights something I see every day in my work: the system cannot be the only place people turn when they’re overwhelmed mentally or emotionally. It simply isn’t built for long-term support at the scale that’s now required.

That’s why my focus has always been on giving people practical tools they can use themselves - to regulate their nervous system, process stress, and build emotional resilience over time.

Not as a replacement for medical care, but as a way to reduce dependence on the public systems, and help people regain a sense of ownership over their wellbeing.

When individuals are better equipped to manage their internal world, everyone benefits, families, workplaces, and the wider health care system.

At this time of year, pressure tends to rise quietly.

Deadlines, family dynamics, financial pressure, old memories - the body often carries more than the mind realises.
This short EFT demonstration is designed to help the nervous system settle. Not by forcing calm, but by allowing it to return naturally. When the body feels safe, the mind follows.

EFT is scientifically proven to reduce the stress hormone cortisol by up to 43% within one hour. That shift alone can change how you think, feel, and respond - particularly during emotionally charged periods like Christmas.

Even a few minutes of tapping can interrupt stress patterns held in the body and create space for regulation, clarity, and balance.

If you notice yourself feeling overwhelmed, reactive, or disconnected, consider this a pause. A moment to reset, breathe, and come back into yourself.
There’s nothing to fix here. Just an opportunity to soften, regulate, and restore.

Creating an anchor in NLP is a deeply empowering process. ⚓️

It gives a person the ability to step into their highest state of confidence clarity and personal strength whenever they choose. When we invite someone to surround themselves with their most powerful colour we are guiding them into a space where their mind and body remember exactly what it feels like to be unstoppable.

That colour becomes more than an image. It becomes an experience. As it grows around them they feel their energy rise. Their posture lifts. Their voice settles. Their whole system begins to align with the version of themselves that is capable grounded and fully alive. In that moment when their power is at its peak we connect it to a simple physical action. This becomes their anchor.

From then on the anchor is their doorway back to their strength. Any time they activate it they return to that state of certainty and resilience with ease. It is a reminder that their power is not something they have to search for. It is already within them waiting to be called forward.

This is the true beauty of anchoring. It gives people direct access to the strongest part of themselves and teaches them that their power is always one conscious choice away.

If you’d like to discuss how I can help you be the most confident and empowered version of yourself, please reach out.

In my latest video, I share how I use kinesiology muscle testing to gently uncover the specific year a person may still be holding emotional pain. When the body reacts and the strong muscle becomes weak, it shows us that something from that time is still asking for healing.

Once we find that moment in their timeline, the real transformation begins. I combine the NLP movie technique with EFT tapping and Havening touch. Together, these methods calm the amygdala, release the emotional charge and reduce the client’s ability to relive the trauma in the same painful way.

Clients often describe this process as mind blowing because they feel lighter, clearer and more in control. The memory can remain, but the suffering does not. What once felt overwhelming starts to feel distant, manageable and safe.

This is the work I love. Helping people walk out of the room unable to access the old pain in the way they could when they walked in. It is powerful. It is compassionate. And it works.

Seven Eleven breathing is a simple practice that helps your nervous system come back into a state of balance. It works by slowing your breath in a natural way. You breathe in to the count of seven and breathe out to the count of eleven. The longer out breath sends a message to your brain that you are safe.

When you extend your out breath your body activates the rest and recover response. This softens the fight, flight or freeze response and begins to calm the mind. Your heart rate slows, your muscles release tension and your thoughts become clearer.

This gentle breathing pattern also supports the vagus nerve. When the vagus nerve receives the signal that the body is safe it helps to settle overwhelming feelings and restores emotional steadiness. Over time this practice can help you build a more resilient and settled nervous system.

Seven Eleven breathing is easy to learn, works quickly and can be used any time you want to feel calmer or more grounded. It is a powerful way to guide your body back into regulation and create a sense of inner safety.

Parts integration is a deep NLP process that brings the conscious mind and the subconscious mind back into unity. Sometimes we feel torn because one part of us wants to move forward while another part holds back. These inner parts are not a problem. They are simply different expressions of our mind trying to protect us in their own way.

The conscious mind often focuses on goals progress and the path ahead. The subconscious mind focuses on safety emotional memory and long term patterns. When these two levels of mind send different messages we feel stuck or pulled in two directions.

Parts integration gives both sides a voice. It allows you to uncover the positive intention behind each part release tension between them and guide them toward working together. When the conscious and subconscious mind align you feel powerful clear and centred. Decisions become lighter and your energy flows in one direction again.

This is the moment when inner conflict becomes inner strength.

The Lemon Technique is a simple way to show how strongly the mind and body are connected. When we imagine holding, smelling, or tasting a lemon, the body often reacts automatically maybe a little extra saliva, a tightening in the jaw, or a slight “zing” sensation.

What’s interesting is that nothing real has happened. It’s simply the brain responding to an imagined experience as if it were real. This reminds us that our inner thoughts and images have a powerful influence on how we feel, how our body reacts, and how we move through the world. In NLP, we use this to help people understand that by changing what’s happening internally, we can change our emotional and physical responses too. If you would like me to help you to get you into a healthy mindset then please let me know. ireland

Many of the people I work with come to me carrying addictions that show up in different forms over-eating, drugs, alcohol, smoking, or any behaviour that feels “out of their control.” ⚡️

In my experience, these patterns rarely begin with the addiction itself. They begin with a moment of overwhelm, a trauma, or a memory the nervous system never learned how to release.

The real question is: when did this start, and what was the emotional trigger underneath it?

My work focuses on helping clients uncover that origin point in a safe, grounded way. Using Havening, EFT tapping, and hypnosis, we gently revisit and reshape that early experience. This isn’t about reliving trauma, it’s about re-imagining it so the brain stops treating it as a threat. When the emotional charge dissolves, the dependency it once fuelled loses its grip.

This is how lasting change happens. Not by fighting the addiction, but by transforming the story that gave it power.

💫 Meridiano de la Vesícula Biliar (GB1–GB12) — Armonía, Visión y Liberación de Tensión

El meridiano de la vesícula biliar recorre los lados de la cabeza, el cuello y parte del cuerpo.
Es un canal energético clave para liberar tensión muscular, equilibrar emociones, mejorar la visión y aliviar dolores de cabeza o mandíbula.

💆‍♀️🌿 El meridiano de la vesícula biliar es un puente entre la mente y el cuerpo. Sus puntos distribuidos por la cabeza y el cuello liberan la tensión acumulada, mejoran la circulación energética y aportan una sensación inmediata de ligereza.

Cada punto actúa como una válvula que libera presión, alivia dolores de cabeza, calma emociones y mejora la concentración. En acupresión o masaje terapéutico, estimular esta línea favorece la claridad mental, reduce el cansancio ocular y libera bloqueos de estrés que se concentran en la mandíbula, las sienes y el cuello.

🌬️✨ Cuando la energía del meridiano fluye libremente, la mente se despeja, la vista se relaja y la postura se alinea. Este equilibrio permite que el cuerpo se sienta más liviano y la mente más serena.

💛 Dedica unos minutos a respirar profundo y presionar suavemente cada punto con los dedos. Sentirás cómo la energía se mueve y el bienestar se restablece de forma natural.

I can help you delink the painful trauma stored in your amygdala by carrying out different techniques that I am trained in.

Please reach out if this relates to you.

Trauma is not only in your memories. It lives in your body too. In your breath, your heartbeat, your posture, and the way you react before you can even think. When something overwhelming happens, your brain does not always turn it into words. Sometimes it gets stored as tension, tight muscles, racing thoughts, or a sudden wave of fear. This is not weakness. It is your nervous system trying to protect you.

Scientists call this somatic memory. The body remembers what the mind tries to move past. You might notice your shoulders tighten when someone raises their voice. Your stomach knot during conflict. Your breath get shallow in stressful moments at work. These reactions are your body saying something once felt unsafe.

And here is why it matters in your work. Jobs come with pressure, deadlines, uncertainty, and difficult conversations. If you do not understand how trauma lives in your body, you might think you are failing or not confident when really your system is in survival mode. And if you lead others, this awareness builds empathy. It helps you support people instead of judging them for stress responses they may not control.

Healing does not always start in the mind. Sometimes it starts with breath, grounding, stretching, pausing, and giving your body safety so your thoughts can follow. Your body remembers. But it can also relearn safety, strength, and calm. Treating yourself gently is not weakness. It is how you build resilience for your future.
