Therapies Update August 2026

Thank you to new clients who approach me for massage sessions, I do appreciate that you find me and would like a treatment. Recently I am saying that I am not taking on new massage clients until after mid-October 2026, this is because I am only taking oncology massage case studies, while and until I complete this qualification. I do still need two more oncology case studies if you know of anyone with cancer at whatever stage, or anyone who has received a diagnosis within two years. Thank you.

Do continue to get in touch to register your interest, and let me know your name if you do so by text or WhatsApp. I hope to focus more on The Healing InSight Method for Belief Change towards the end of this year, as I feel this a fantastic way to clear old beliefs and to ground new ones, making way for more of what you wish to manifest in your life.

My recent limiting belief that I am choosing to work on, has been along the lines of “feeling under-valued, patronised and under-utilised” in some areas of my life – not in my therapeutic life I might add. I am working through this on the new Healing InSight Method for Belief Change app! Brand new, I am one of the first 100 to use it, and so far so good. While I don’t think it eliminates totally the need, if you prefer, to being guided through the method my a real-life human therapist! (like moi), it does make the method more accessible. Congratulations to its creators Nikki & Robbie Gresham-Record!

Thank you for reading and have a wonderful rest of your Summer.

Holiday reflections, that continue into my everyday life ... so easily!

Peace is not a luxury. In Peaceful moments, what do you hear? What can your clear?

Emptiness really is a useful way to bring us back to ourselves. Self-care, massage, travel and meditation are my best ways to bring me back to my centre. I spent the last 10 days on a meditative retreat full of SUN! & the salty ocean, in which I have been able to notice my “head noise” … the thoughts and old beliefs that have left an impression on me and that I need to work on to release. People and friendships that don’t seem to serve me; yet in my mind I cannot let go of thoughts of them. Yet. Because right now I have something to learn from these attachments, I’m going to find the best way to free myself of them. Our challenges are our opportunities to GROW!!!

… The dominant thought I had towards the end of my break is unconditional love, which is why we’re here and what we all deserve. In peaceful moments, perhaps in nature, we can best listen to and hear our heart. So how do you best care for yourself? What is it that you need to re-balance yourself? What and who do you love unconditionally?

And listen for the wonderful thoughts that arise in your peaceful moments. Whether on holiday, during a Reiki treatment – on the bus – wherever. Somehow Shakespeare’s Sonnet 29 entered my mind when I was resting … a sonnet that I leant on when I was a stressed 17 year old, studying for my A-Levels …“Like to the lark at break of day arising … From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate” … Just beautiful.

Remember what you focus on grows. SO FOCUS ON YOURSELF! So that you can best serve others. You are the best and most reliable person for YOU … You initiate your own health and healing. You are the beginning of your healing journey in every moment! Every moment we can choose our responses, and how we interact with the world UNLESS WE LACK SELF-CARE (in which case we may be responding quickly, perhaps thoughtlessly, perhaps with anger & impatience – we’re all human … ) So if you’re busy thinking about old ideas; focus on new ones. If you need to take time for you … ask others around you if you must to help you to take this time to balance yourself. You know what you need. Sometimes we must learn to say “no” to work so we can take time-out to better ourselves. This takes discipline. Or it does for me, as I love my work.

Clinical Hypnotherapy is just one therapy that can help us “clear up” old limiting beliefs, to clear the way for more of what we DO want in our lives. How much are you prepared to risk, grow and compromise to get the life that you desire? What does your ideal day look like? You may start by writing these things down. Take small steps, one step at a time. Because everything that you create starts with an idea!

Happy clearing, healing and manifesting.

If you need me to facilitate your healing, I’m here.

Shakespeare Sonnet 29

When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts my self almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
   For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
   That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
