TIP - the templates and lists referred to in the body of the book are in the appendices so use the menu system to navigate. It's easier in the hard copy of the book but you could always print it out yourself! For anyone wanting a hardcopy I have some for purchase, just send me a message.

Enjoy - and please share, one of the reasons I wrote this book was to help people get the most from life.

There are times during our life when we need to change direction. Life can feel out of control, and it can be difficult to decide where to head to next. Maybe it’s redundancy, retirement, a relationship break-up or an injury; maybe just a niggling feeling that there has to be more to life, but ...

Something I talk about a lot. When you have strong feeling, good or bad, label it. The Feelings Wheel, created by Dr Gloria Willcox helps clarify what you are feeling. Breathe into the feeling and know, just like the weather, it will change.

5 Techniques for Combating Stress

The other day, someone told me they felt hypnotherapy didn’t fit with their Christian beliefs. They shared that their faith is in Jesus, not in themselves — and it really made me pause and reflect.

I deeply respect all faiths and belief systems. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with people from many different backgrounds.

For me, hypnotherapy is simply a gentle way of helping people work with their own mind and body to create the changes they want in life. It’s another set of tools — much like what you might receive from any other health and well-being practitioner be it a counselor, physio or doctor for example.

It never replaces a person’s beliefs or faith. In fact, it can often complement them by helping quiet the mind, bring focus, and support people in connecting with what truly matters to them - be it more calmness, hope for the future, releasing an addiction or increasing their self-confidence or even their personal beliefs.

What do you think, how would you respond? I'm curious to find out!
