I was once sat next to an older lady while we both got our nails done. About five minutes after I sat down to get mine done she starts telling me all about her life. An hour later I knew she’d had a heart attack eight years ago and that’s why she was sweating so much, she has a pacemaker and recently she broke her finger saving a puppy and now can’t feel any pain in that hand –…
This week I went to see the movie, Inside Out 2. 🫶🏻 It was such a fun way to represent to kids and adults how beliefs are formed in the brain and also how you can overcome negative/limiting beliefs.

Didn’t know for the first seven years that it was a bulging disc in my neck causing issues as my main symptom was neck and shoulder pain. Started getting a mad headache on Wednesday which by…
When we met around 2012, Tina and I hit it off massively as friends. Back then, she was working in hospitality, drinking and taking drugs regularly to block out her childhood. Many years later when we were working in sessions together with coaching and healing, her past trauma hit her like a freight train. She realised she was running the unconscious programming that she was “disgusting” which had led to many years of projecting a…
