ETR Welcome to ETR. Evolve, Transform, Rejuvenate. I offer an enriching experience of therapeutic techni

My work centres around ways to address stress and anxiety, finding relaxation and
resolution through body, breath and mind. As a Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapist, massage therapist and breathwork practitioner, I
tailor my approach to support clients in a number of ways:
● Menopause support to help manage the profound shifts during this transition,
addressing physical changes and releasing accumulated tension, as well as tackling
emotional and psychological changes such as mood swings, hot flashes, sleep
issues, loss of confidence and feelings of decreased womanliness.
● Stress management at work: Highly pressured environments can take their toll on
behaviour, performance and relationships, causing you to lose sight of who you are. Together, we can take the pressure off, reducing stress and anxiety in a range of
ways to help get your physical and mental health back on track.
● Teenage support to help manage the stress and anxiety of these difficult years. My
approach helps with social anxiety, performance anxiety, exam stress and low self
esteem.
● Empowerment focused support to change negative thoughts into positive beliefs. Through assertiveness training and SMART goal setting, we help you express
yourself effectively and stand up for yourself, addressing performance anxiety and
boosting self esteem for increased confidence and motivation. THERAPEUTIC APPROACH
My approach blends body, breath and mind to offer treatments that address the impact of
modern life on our stress levels. Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH) is a powerful and potent way to address and
overcome many of life’s difficulties, enabling you to challenge unhealthy beliefs, effect
change and to strengthen healthy beliefs. Hypnosis can produce profound behavioural, emotional, cognitive and physiological changes
in a relatively short treatment time. Depending on therapy goals, clients might become
profoundly relaxed, calm and accepting; highly energised and proactive or experience a
deep shift in confidence. BACKGROUND
I am an experienced wellbeing practitioner having worked for over 18 years in yoga,
mindfulness, meditation, relaxation, breathing techniques, Acceptance and Commitment
Therapy (ACT) and massage therapy. Many of my clients came to me with high levels of
stress and anxiety, which prompted me to study for qualifications in Evidence Based
Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

and hypnosis) and Stress Management and Resilience. By drawing on all areas of my
expertise, I can tailor solutions to suit individual clients and their needs.

Real healing doesn’t happen in a weekend.

It happens when the body is given time —
time to settle,
time to soften,
time to remember its own rhythm.

This is what our long, boutique retreats are built around.

Evening practice here isn’t about pushing or perfecting.
It’s about integration.
Surya Namaskar as the sun sets.
Pranayama as the nervous system downshifts.
Quiet sun-gazing — not to look outward, but to reconnect with inner brightness.

For women who have lived for years in mental overdrive,
this kind of space is rare.
The body finally receives a different message:
you don’t need to hold everything together anymore.

Three weeks allows something deeper than rest.
Inflammation eases.
Sleep deepens.
The mind stops racing ahead.
Emotional weight begins to loosen — not because it’s analysed, but because it’s supported.

This is not a holiday.
And it’s not escape.

It’s a carefully held journey — blending therapeutic insight, ancient practices, nervous-system regulation, and the quiet intelligence of nature — designed for women who are ready to heal without force.

Some changes only happen when life slows enough to listen.







24/01/2026

Right now, I’m exploring new locations for the next healing journey,
places that support deep regulation, spaciousness, and genuine restoration.

I move carefully here.
Not chasing beauty, but coherence.
Not looking for luxury alone, but environments that hold people gently when they finally stop pushing.

These journeys aren’t about escape.
They’re about coming back into rhythm
with the body, the mind, and life itself.

Some places whisper.
Some ask you to slow down.
Some feel like they know exactly why you’ve arrived.

This is part of the work.
And the journey continues.





11/01/2026

Wearing a saree here feels like being gently reminded
to slow down…
to listen…
to move with care.

It’s not just clothing.
It’s a way of arriving in the body.

This land has a quiet way of teaching
not through effort,
but through rhythm, texture, and grace.

As I walk this path, I’m remembering
that healing doesn’t ask us to become more.
It invites us to soften back into who we already are.

And that, somehow, is enough. 🌿





09/01/2026

This is how real healing begins quietly, before the day asks anything of you.

Yesterday morning, I watched the sunrise at Kollukumalai, one of the highest tea plantations in India.
Above the clouds.
Before the mind filled with plans.

There’s something about meeting the morning here that gently resets the nervous system.
No forcing. No fixing.
Just the body remembering its own rhythm.

In India, healing isn’t rushed.
You rise with the sun.
You listen.
You allow the mind to soften in nature’s timing.

This journey isn’t only about Ayurveda, yoga, or therapy.
It’s about stepping out of old patterns — and letting clarity return, naturally.

As the light comes back, so does a sense of inner order.
And sometimes, that is exactly what’s needed.

I’ve just come out of Shirodhara with medicated milk — and my nervous system feels like it’s been gently wrapped in silk.

In Kerala Ayurveda, Shirodhara isn’t just one treatment.
It can be done with oil, buttermilk, herbal decoctions… and today, milk.

Medicated milk Shirodhara is traditionally used when the system needs cooling, nourishing, and deep emotional calming.
For women in perimenopause — like me — it’s especially supportive.

Milk carries herbs deeply into the nervous system, helping to soothe heat, restlessness, anxiety, disturbed sleep, and mental overactivity.

This isn’t about switching the mind off.
It’s about teaching the body that it’s safe to soften.

You can almost feel the thoughts slow…
the hormones settle…
the inner noise quieten.

This is why I return to Kerala again and again.
Because real healing doesn’t need force — it needs rhythm, warmth, and time.

This is how real healing begins.

On the first day of the year, we begin Virechana —
a gentle but powerful Ayurvedic cleansing process.

After yesterday’s Kizhi with steam, the body is prepared to release —
not just physical toxins, but stored heat, inflammation, and long-held overload.

For many women, especially in perimenopause or burnout,
the system has been carrying too much for too long:
chronic stress, hormonal strain, mental fatigue, emotional holding.

Virechana supports the liver, digestion, and hormonal balance —
but just as importantly, it helps the nervous system exhale.

This isn’t about forcing change.
It’s about creating the conditions where the body can do what it already knows how to do:
restore balance.

Starting the year this way feels deeply symbolic —
less resolution, more release.
Less pushing forward, more coming home.

This is the work we do here.
And this is why these journeys matter.

🌿





30/12/2025

This is how real healing starts.
Not by doing more
but by finally allowing the body to rest.

The group arrived yesterday, and our 24-day healing journey has begun.

I’ve been coming to India for nearly twenty years.
Again and again I return — not to escape life,
but to remember what happens when the nervous system is given time, warmth, and simplicity.

In my work in the UK, I support people through CBT, hypnotherapy, stress management, resilience building, and mindfulness.
People who are capable, caring, strong —
and quietly exhausted from holding everything together.

This journey is an extension of that work.

Here, healing happens on many levels:
• the body detoxifies and settles
• inflammation softens
• sleep deepens
• the mind stops racing
• the nervous system remembers safety

Today we move to our first Ayurvedic centre, where purification begins —
not as punishment, but as care.

This isn’t a holiday.
It’s a return to balance.
A chance to exhale.

And for many women, it’s the first time in years they’ve truly stopped.





29/12/2025

Journey to stillness begins long before the retreat does.

I arrived in India a few days early —
not to escape life,
but to prepare space for the women who are coming.

Women who are tired.
Women who have held everything together for years.
Women whose exhaustion isn’t just physical —
but mental, emotional, and deeply ingrained in the nervous system.

This journey isn’t about luxury or indulgence.
It’s about finally allowing the body to exhale.

India has a way of doing that.
Not by pushing change,
but by gently bringing you back into your body.
Back into rhythm.
Back into yourself.

Before the treatments.
Before the routines.
Before the deeper healing begins —
there is this moment of arrival.

Feet on the earth.
Breath slowing down.
The quiet realisation that it’s safe to stop striving.This journey is about creating the conditions where healing can actually happen —
before the treatments,
before the routines,
before the deeper work begins.

A quiet arrival.
A slower breath.
A reminder that it’s safe to stop.

This is why I bring women here.

🌿





27/12/2025

I’m not here to travel.
I’m here to prepare.

While I wait for my group to arrive, I’m visiting healing centres,
meeting doctors,
and feeling into spaces that truly support the nervous system.

This journey is being shaped for women who are tired in a way rest alone doesn’t touch
stress held in the body,
inflammation,
minds that don’t switch off.

This is the quiet work behind the Healing Journey.
And it matters.
