Phoenix Holistic Health

Phoenix Holistic Health Holistic health service for those wanting an alternative way to heal their mindset and bodies. Hi and thanks for finding out more about my page and me. What?

My name is Lesley Ford and I am the founder of Phoenix Holistic Health UK Ltd. I came into the holistic therapy world in the late 1990's when I was suffering from M.E. (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) within which I had a period of 2 years having to go shopping in a wheelchair as I had no energy to walk long distances, and after my GP told me that there was no specific treatemt for this condition and the only options for me was to go on anti-depressants, I started to investigate how else I could help myself recover. My journey back to full health was a long one (9 years in total) as I was stubborn and would not listen to my body! I suffered from panic attacks, migraines, no or very low energy, attention deifict and I could only focus on looking at pictures, no text, and eventually a friend recommended I see a homeopath. was my reaction! I had no idea what that type of therapy was!! My first experience with my 'homeopath' was something I had never experienced before with any health professional, someone sitting there and listening to me for once, he took my 'full case' and worked out my constitutional remedy and my recovery started. My recovery took about 18 months to 2 years to become what I would say 'being fully back to normal' but each small step was attributed to Homeopathy, and as such, I decided to look for a short course to help my young family at the time whenever they became ill, alas there were none and all I could find was a 4 year part time course to become a Registered Homeopath, so I trained and qualified in 2005, I then went on to study my Post Graduate in Homeoapthy for another 2 years. I worked full time in another business role whilst still practising in a very part time capacity within my practice. It was in 2019, that I was made redundant from my full time business role and I decided that now was the time to launch my dream of my full time practice to help others. Phoenix Holistic Health UK Ltd was set up in December 2019 and I now also have added Coaching to my skillset, covering NLP, (Neuro Linguistic Programming, Law of Attraction, and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique- also known as Tapping. I am happy to say that I now enjoy FULL health and have done so for many years now and am honoured by the fact that I am here to help others heal themsleves. When I was at my lowest health I had to give up my job and had very little finances to cope and having to find more money for holistic treatment seemed daunting at the time, and so, with that in mind, I have set up a monthly payment option for those that want the treatment but with flexibility on payment. BONUS- also included in the monthly payment plan is the basic 18 remedy kit (RRP 29.99) for you to keep at home , and comes to you after the first monthly payment has been received. You can also pay per treatment if you wish. Coaching 1-2-1 and mindset courses are available, please ask for more details, where I explore with you your limiting beliefs and values that are embedded in your subconscious mind and may have been holding you back from achieving your own dreams in your life. Wishing you a wonderful day and thanks for dropping by, if you would like to have an informal chat about how I can help you gain optimum health or a better mindset, then please do contact me for a free chat.

Willpower isn’t weak.
It’s just small — only 5% of the mind.

The other 95% runs on old habits and patterns.

That’s why pushing harder feels exhausting. It’s like driving miles on a spare tyre.

Real change happens when the unconscious is on board.
That’s when life starts to feel lighter.

Let’s talk about something most people get wrong.

Coping and healing aren’t the same thing.
Coping is what we do when we have to hold it together.
It’s getting through the day. Functioning on the outside. Saying “I’m fine” when you’re not.

But real healing — the kind that actually changes how you feel inside — doesn’t always look dramatic.
Sometimes it’s quiet. Subtle.
You just notice your body didn’t flinch the way it used to.
Or that your mind didn’t spiral like it normally does.
And you breathe.

That’s the kind of shift Lesley Logic is about.

In this week’s post, I talk about why we need to stop glorifying coping… and start creating the kind of safety that lets us soften — even just a little.

🟣 If you’ve ever felt like you’ve been “doing fine” for too long… this one might resonate with you.

💬 You don’t have to explain everything. You just need to feel the shift.

Most people don’t wait for their car engine to fail before they service it…
But when it comes to their mind, they wait until breaking point.

Confidence isn’t built by telling yourself to “think positive.”

It’s built when your unconscious learns it’s safe to take action — even when doubt is there.

That’s why trying to force confidence with affirmations feels fake.

Real confidence grows when your nervous system says: “I can handle this.” or "Lets give this a go and see what happens"

Breaking the Cycle of Cravings

Cravings aren’t about lack of strength.

They’re conditioned responses — the brain linking certain moments with comfort, stress relief, or reward.

That’s why sheer willpower rarely works for long.

The real solution is breaking the old association and building a new one — so the craving loses its grip.

The Escape Gremlin is a master of disguise.

It whispers:
“Just one more episode.”
“Scroll a bit longer.”
“Don’t deal with it today.”

It pretends to be rest. But it’s not. It’s avoidance. And it leaves you feeling just as drained, only with less time and more regret.

Real rest restores you. The Escape Gremlin robs you.

At Phoenix Hypnotherapy in Cheltenham, Gloucester, and surrounding areas, I help people retrain the Escape Gremlin — so downtime becomes genuine recovery, not just numbing.

The story you repeat
Your mind believes what you tell it.
Repeat a story of doubt and you’ll shrink.
Repeat a story of strength and you’ll rise.
What story are you choosing today?

Have you ever had a thought that hit you like a fact?
“I’ll never lose weight.”
“I can’t cope.”

It feels convincing because it’s familiar.
But here’s the logic: familiar doesn’t mean true.

Your conscious mind runs about 5% of your behaviour.
The other 95% comes from the unconscious — old wiring, old patterns.

Hypnotherapy doesn’t erase thoughts. It changes how your mind responds.
So instead of being pulled into them, you start to get space.

That’s the shift: so those troublesomethoughts stop running the show.

Lesley Logic -Speed Bumps..........
Healing isn’t a straight line — but it doesn’t have to feel chaotic or overwhelming.

Think of it like driving around Cheltenham’s roads.
Some streets are smooth.
Others have speed bumps.
Some bumps are small — you barely notice them.
Others are bigger — you slow down, maybe change gear, so you glide over them without a jolt.

Emotions work the same way.

Some days bring gentle ripples.
Other days stir up old worries, memories, or feelings you thought were behind you.

But hitting a bump doesn’t mean you’re back to square one.
It just means your nervous system is still learning the road ahead is safe.

That’s where hypnotherapy comes in.
In my practice here in Cheltenham, I help clients navigate these bumps more smoothly.
Instead of feeling thrown off course by every wave of emotion,
your mind and body learn to stay calm, steady, and in control.

So even if healing isn’t a perfectly flat road…
It can become a journey where you trust yourself behind the wheel —
ready for whatever comes next.

Comparison trap

Someone else’s chapter 20 will never look like your chapter 2.

When you compare your progress to theirs, you forget the unique path you’re on.

Comparison steals energy that could be building your own story. Focus on your journey — it’s the only one that matters.

About

My name is Lesley Ford and I am the founder of Phoenix Holistic Health UK Ltd. I came into the Holistic therapy world in the late 1990’s when I was suffering from ME (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) with a period of 2 years having to go shopping in a wheelchair as I had no energy to walk long distances, and after my GP telling me that there was no specific treatment for this condition and the only option for me was anti-depressants I started to investigate how else I could help myself recover. My journey to full health was a long one (9 years) as I was stubborn and would not listen to my body! I suffered from panic attacks, migraines, no or low energy, attention deficit and could only focus on looking at pictures - no text and eventually I was told by a friend to visit a homeopath- (What? who is that was my reaction) My first experience with my ‘homeopath’ I realised later was nothing more than a prescription for vitamins! But undeterred I found another homeopath and he took a ‘full case’ and my recovery started.

My recovery took about 18 months to 2 years to become ‘back to normal’ but each small step was attributed to homeopathy, and as such I decided to look for a short course to help my young family at the time whenever they became ill, alas there were none and all I could find was a 4 year part time course to become a Registered Homeopath, so I trained and qualified in 2005, I then went on to do my Post Graduate qualification for another 2 years.

Phoenix Holistic Health UK Ltd was set up in December 2019 and I now have Angelic Reiki therapy to add to my skills as a Homeopath and the wonders of healing.

I have am now also a practitioner of Gamma Mindset Technique, one of the first in the UK this helps an individual retrain their Gamma brain waves that controls the sub-conscious side of our minds. Our sub-conscious actually over-rides our conscious states, and this can be the reason people find themselves self-sabotaging their efforts on a daily basis. A good example of this that I use is when we go on a diet and we do well on it for about 6 weeks or so and when we can actually see a difference in our body shape, we start to make short cuts on the diet and don’t stick to the diet rules etc, this is self sabotaging as deep down you may have a belief that is stopping you attain what your conscious state wants, a belief that has been there for possibly many years. The Gamma Mindset Technique teaches you how to CHANGE this belief in a short mind exercise and allow you to achieve anything you want. It is a powerful technique and now endorsed by top brain surgeons and also Bruce Lipton - a top rated scientist and author.
