And you'll be pleased to know Healing Ancestral Patterns is now live!
This is delivered in a combination of recordings and practical live online sessions and creates an opportunity for you to look at your ancestral patterns and how they affect your life and behaviour.
It's a combination of spiritual self development, psychology theory, and good old fashioned creativity.
Would you know more?

This year's Ancestor course has some important changes. It will be live middle of next week!

Just a quick note to explain what's happening with this year's ancestor course

I don't have a lot of clutter in my therapy space, partly because I'm planning on renting it out on the days I'm not using it, but also because I really like keeping a clear workspace.
My home is quite another matter however! That's full of clutter!
Although I try and keep my therapy room clutter free I do keep this hare sitting on my bookshelf reminding me of the power of transformation.

Hypnotherapy is a great way to work with anxiety, so many of my clients like to have support from friends or family to help them get to the appointment.
We're lucky to have a beautiful park right on the doorstep, along with beaches and plenty of cafes (including a great vegan one!) nearby to entertain support people whilst they wait.
But as the weather turns rainier and snowier you might be glad to know I have a small waiting area seperate to the main therapy room your support person can use during your appointment whilst still keeping your privacy.
(I still recommend the vegan chocolate brownie at Wallflowers on sunny days though!)

September is a great time to start thinking about new routines. For those of us who struggle with being out of routine over the summer (me included) it can also feel like a time for relaxation and self care as we embrace the cooler weather.
If your job isn't where you want to be that self care can be even more important.
Changing careers was the best gift I ever gave myself. But it took a lot of self work to reach the point where I realised I could.

Finding the perfect space for hypnotherapy isn't easy. Whilst you don't need complete silence (you'd be surprised what you don't hear or notice whilst in trance) the room does need to be quieter than it would for talking therapies.
It also really benefits from being cosy and creating a sense of comfort and safety that's harder to find in more clinical spaces.

Due to the upcoming closure of the building I was working from in Sandwich I've now moved to my own therapy space in Herne Bay.
During the summer there will only be a limited number of appointments available (face to face and online) but will be back with plenty of space in September.

What a busy time it's been! The first quarter of the year is often busier for hypnotherapists, but this year I've found a lot of my time has been also taken up with helping my clients work with ancestral patterns.
I'm a firm believer in the right clients finding you when they need you, but with my ancestor work this has almost taken this to extremes as I haven't marketed it and yet it's been keeping me busy!
To help me with this work, I asked Esther of River Swan Creations (who I can't seem to tag as she's as hard to find as I am sometimes!) to create some dolls to represent ancestors in constellation style workings.
And she completely surpassed all my expectations and then some! So I'm now looking forward to working with these.

I've lost count a bit on how many times we've run this version of the course now, this is the 3rd or 4th maybe, but I love teaching it every time.
It's also really good to see people from previous cohorts being a big part of the end of course rite and more importantly, going out and doing lots of exciting seidr related things in their own spaces.
Starts Monday - online for 4 weeks then optional in person rite.

For World Sound Healing day I chatted to Maggie Rose Cunningham, Kay Gillard and Laura Daligan about working with sound to heal.

I brought together 3 magical women and asked them 3 simple questions:1. How did you discover sound healing? 2. What is your favourite sound healing practice?...

Step two of the Giving it up in six steps self help video series is
EMBRACE
When we approach all our behaviours with compassion and assume they started with positive intent we can truly meet them and work with them.
Love and acceptance is much better negotiation than repression and banishment when asking the subconscious to give up a habit!

This time of year I always feel like I want to work with the Disir, the Norse concept of female ancestral protective spirits.
Here's a brief introduction to the Disir followed by a guided meditation to meet them.

Step One of giving up your habit in six steps.
And the first step is taking the time to understand your habit in more detail, recognising what it brings you.
Often we focus on the reasons we NEED to give up, but I believe everything starts with a positive intent, and understanding and accepting the benefits makes it much easier to replace them with something healthier in the long run.

How did you get on with your new year's resolutions this year?
You may not be surprised to hear that February is often pretty busy for us hypnotherapists because giving things up and making life changes is HARD. If it wasn't you'd have given it up a long time ago.
But it's not impossible. And like many things in life, getting help from a professional can improve your chances!
I've also put together this six step video series to help you.
