Yesterday I completed my Level 1 certification in Egyptian Sekhem Energy Healing and I am so excited!! ✨

Some of you may or may not know that I started with Reiki 14 years ago and completed the 3 levels. At the time I was employed full time and and despite loving it, I didn’t progress beyond treatments for friends and family and self care, and have continued to do this. 3 years ago after training in hypnotherapy and leaving my long term career I set up my Coda Hypnotherapy business and love working with clients and seeing their positive changes with many diverse issues.

Recently I have been looking at how to include Reiki as an additional offering in my business so more people can benefit from this wonderful energy healing system. In doing so, I discovered that there is a little known energy healing system ‘Egyptian Sekhem energy’ which includes frequencies of the ‘traditional’ Usui Reiki but has additional vibrational frequencies to help with deeper healing. I knew I had to find out more and as soon as I could I was booked to do my level 1 certification!

Wow ! I had the most incredible day with Claire at The Knotted Tree - Sports & Holistic Therapies in Telford to start this journey. I am planning to progress to level 2, when I am ready, complete the training days and required case studies and then offer both Reiki or also Egyptian Sekhem energy healing for those who are interested!

There are so many questions and thoughts buzzing around my head! This feels like the start of something incredible. ✨

I’d love to know if you have experienced Reiki or would be interested in trying this or Sekhem when I start introducing it.⚡️

I like to be positive about having my birthday in the first week of the year! ❄️
We have had Christmas and then New Year and so many feel a little ‘done’, have over indulged or feeling flat going back to work and normality. There may be expectation of a big change or goals to achieve, when resting and hibernating may be more realistic!

I reframe the potential of feeling 'cheated' about a birthday this week & count myself very lucky! It’s a time for reflection and renewal and having the snow arrive allows for some precious time with a heated blanket, good coffee and a new book. The pubs are usually quiet too with great food offers!!

6th January is actually a special day - the 12th day of Christmas ‘The feast of the Epiphany’ or ‘Three Kings’ Day’ is a national holiday in many countries such as Italy and Spain.✨

In Ireland - another of my favourite counties, it is ‘A Women’s Christmas’ - Nollaig na mBan. This day is for the women, who traditionally work so hard over the festive period, to kick back and have fun - often getting together or relaxing and having a break from household chores. I met up with a good friend and had my birthday as a great excuse to not do housework, not do too much work but have my own little ‘Women’s Christmas’!

Maybe one year I need to be more organised to experience the full on celebrations of 'Three Kings' Day' or a 'Women's Christmas!'. ✨

The incredible painting below is the ‘Adoration of the Magi’ by Artemisia Gentileschi. It is such a beautiful painting but also it was by one of the few Italian Renaissance artists who was a woman. It is truly a wonderful piece of art.✨

Happy New Year 2026 and a wonderful first day of January!✨

At this time of year there can be pressure to set new resolutions and goals. If you want change it needs to be at a time when you want and you feel you can be successful.

Hypnotherapy can help with ‘resolution’ issues such as weight management, stopping smoking or va**ng or reducing alcohol. However If you would like to feel less anxious and reduce negative thinking, sleep better, manage stress, overcome fears or phobias or cope with IBS, these and many more are areas I can help you with. I see many clients who have tried other therapies or processes and find that it is hypnotherapy that has had the most positive impact.✨

Hypnotherapy can help by changing your thoughts in a natural and relaxing way, allowing you to take back control through this positive process.

If for you it helps to start at beginning of the year that’s great - but it can be useful to know there is support available whenever you are ready.

I help adults and children from my local dedicated therapy room above JTO Vintage & The Old Bank Tea Rooms Helsby ( the cafe is shut for a well deserved break in January for the staff but I am still open). I also hold sessions on line if you live further away or prefer to have sessions in your own familiar space.

If you are interested to find out more, please give me a call for a no obligation chat, send me a DM or an email. There is lots more information on my Coda Hypnotherapy website which also includes many testimonials from happy clients.

It is important that you find someone who you would be happy to work with you or your child so I welcome any questions you may have before deciding to book in for an initial consultation✨

Huge congratulations to the wonderful students who have just qualified this weekend with CPHT Manchester Hypnotherapy Training in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy.
It has been an amazing 10 months and I have loved being a Senior lecturer, seeing the skills and confidence grow each month for all of these hypnotherapists now starting out in their new careers! ✨

I was delighted to have a chat with Helen Ranson of The Busy Women Club about hypnotherapy. We discussed the gentle support of hypnotherapy to help with anxiety, loss and much more for adults and children. It was a lovely conversation where I shared my journey from industry and why I changed direction to train as a hypnotherapist, life, family and why I love what I am doing in my business now.✨
If you would like to know more about what I can help with please contact by phone or email for a no obligation call or to book an initial consultation. I can also be contacted through my Coda Hypnotherapy website.

December and the winter months can be tough to navigate. There's the pressure of the festive season, fun for many but can be difficult for others. You may be feeling overwhelmed by the preparations to get ready for and the expectations of the 'Big day'. This time of year may be particularly difficult if you are missing someone special and the cold and dark don't help either. All these stresses can add up and you find yourself looking for a way to feel calmer, more relaxed and to feel 'like you'.

The New year can bring its own challenges too, of what you meant to get on top of or change or wanting to feel less stressed and be in control.

Even if you don't know what could help, you just know that it should be different.

I've been helping lots of people to take back control in their lives, to feel calmer, sleep better and be themselves again. I can see you in my dedicated therapy room in the heart of Helsby, Cheshire above JTO Vintage & The Old Bank Tea Rooms or on line. ✨

Small changes and taking action to move forward can make a difference. Habits can rewire our brain and consistency becomes easier.

I speak with my hypnotherapy clients about this so it was great to recognise a milestone for myself that popped up on my 'smart watch' yesterday.

I have beaten my 'Move' goal for the last 365 days 🚶‍♀️. That's a whole year of making sure I was showing up for myself, sometimes when I may have not felt like it! ✨

I know I need to keep it going - I feel so much better making some activity part of each day. I have found that using technology has kept me accountable. Do you have any tips about what helps you?
