I first became aware of Journey Therapy in 2004 when I was given Brandon Bays 'The Journey' to read. It describes Brandon's healing journey from being diagnosed with a football sized tumour, which cleared completely within 6 1/2 weeks! The book then explains how Brandon took the physical and emotional Journey that she experienced and developed it into a simple process that other people could undergo to bring themselves to greater healing and wholeness. It is one of the most powerful and transformative techniques that I have come across.

Parents with their baby can attend sessions where they will be guided through a series of massage strokes. They can use these strokes on their baby to calm them and help their muscles relax into a more stretched out and lengthened posture after their early curled up position.
Baby massage tuition is also a wonderful way to help parents bond more fully with their baby, helping their baby gain a sense of self in the world it has entered.

What is EFT?
EFT is a powerful yet simple self-help acupressure method used to balance energy in the body. Research shows that stress, tension and emotional trauma contribute greatly to disease. EFT is able to rapidly reduce tension and the impact of memories that trigger emotional distress.

When EFT is properly applied, over 80% of clients achieve noticeable improvement or complete cessation of the problem.EFT has been shown to be effective in thousands of cases treating a wide range of emotional or physical issues for example;
- stress and anxiety
- fears and phobias
- depression
- children’s issues
- physical symptoms including headaches and retained pain

Hypnosis is a state of deep relaxation and focus where our conscious mind relaxes and is more able to communicate with our subconscious mind. This state of mind may be brought about either by oneself, unaided (self-hypnosis) or with the help of another person. You remain in charge throughout. As you can go into this deeply relaxed state, so you can come out of it whenever you want.
A professional hypnotherapist uses hypnosis to encourage beneficial change.
