I’m so pleased I was able to make her first experience of hypnotherapy such a positive one!

Dearest dad, you taught me so many things, here are just a few -

- How to catch minnows in the river Windrush.
- How to be fascinated by creepy crawlies, not afraid of them.
- How to make a very satisfying noise by blowing on a blade of grass.
- How to identify garden birds, trees, and nature.
- How many beans make five (1 bean, 2 beans, a bean and a half, and half a bean).
- What’s the difference is between a duck (one of its legs is both the same).

And, when I was old enough
- How to really appreciate a good single malt whisky.

On my journey back home last night I popped into the pub and had a whisky in your honour (Talisker, I’m sure you’d have approved). When someone asked if I was ok, I cried, so they bought me another whisky and the customers toasted you.

Cheers dad, we love you ❤️

No Pilates or coffee shop visits for me today, has been very different!

I’ve spent the day learning lots of new skills to enhance my hypnotherapy, and I’m very much looking forward to putting everything into practice.

I’m passionate about all aspects of women’s health and look forward to welcoming clients to my upcoming hypnobirthing classes.

To find out more about hypnobirthing, or to enquire about working with me during your pregnancy, please get in touch.

Very busy today!

Back into the Pilates studio this morning for an exhilarating class. Pilates is my ultimate self-care, I can’t do high impact exercise so it helps me keep strong, really important now that I’m no longer a spring chicken!

I’ve had a lovely lunch out too, a little excursion to Huddersfield. We love this cafe in the Byram Arcade, the food and coffee is always fabulous.

Have a wonderful weekend and whatever you’re up to make sure you fit in your own self-care 😃

looks a little different today as there are no Pilates classes over the Easter weekend.

I made it over to the café as usual though and it was lovely to see all the regulars.

So beautifully sunny and spring-like today, getting outside for a while and walking round the park was just the self-care I needed. April is and spending time outside in nature can really help lower your stress levels.

Have a lovely Easter weekend and make sure you find time for your own ❤️

Do you want help with easing your anxiety around going to the dentist? Would you like to learn techniques to help you cope when you’re having dental treatment?

I use self hypnosis techniques to help myself when I’m in the dentist’s chair, it really helps me relax. I developed dental anxiety a few years ago after a negative experience, prior to that I had been absolutely fine even when having quite invasive procedures.

I now have a great dentist who I trust, but I still get anxious, that one bad experience caused lasting issues.

By using self hypnosis techniques I am retraining myself to feel calm in the dentist’s chair and will hopefully reach a point where those anxious feelings disappear completely.

If this all sounds familiar, please contact me to see how hypnotherapy might help you

I’m excited to announce that I will soon be launching hypnobirthing classes - look out for further announcements later this month.

What a great I’ve had so far 😃

Despite the grey clouds, the rain kept away so I had a pleasant walk first thing.

It’s always a pleasure to call in for my morning coffee at the cafe and to catch up with the regulars. This morning I was absolutely delighted and touched to receive a little Easter gift from an elderly couple who are there every week. I don’t have a Pilates class next Saturday but I’ve been persuaded that I must come over to the cafe as usual or I’ll be missed - how lovely is that 😊

I really enjoyed Pilates today too, Pilates is a major part of my self care and the studio is somewhere I love to spend time. It’s such a fantastically supportive and empowering place to be, whether I’m exercising, or seeing hypnotherapy clients.

Have a lovely weekend and take some time for yourself no matter how busy you are

A rather blustery day today, I was definitely ready for my Saturday morning coffee by the time I got to the cafe!
started a little earlier than planned this morning - I woke up at 6.30 which gave me the chance to pop a face mask on and listen to some music before getting ready.

This morning saw the final session with my current hypnotherapy for relaxation clients. Some lovely feedback again today, it was great to hear the positive impact my course has had. Look out for future dates if you’d like to book a place on one of my courses, I’d love to welcome you.

I’m planning on putting my feet up with a book this afternoon, sometimes finding time to rest can be the best self-care.

Have a lovely weekend, and find time for your own self-care ❤️

The Connection Between Self-Care and Mental Health Taking care of oneself supports mental health and fitness.

Perhaps you’ve been contemplating how you might make a positive change or two to improve your life?

It can sometimes be daunting to take that first step. Whatever your ultimate goal, try breaking things down into smaller steps - reaching those smaller goals can really motivate you!

If you’re struggling with motivating yourself why not contact me to see if hypnotherapy could help?

What a change in the weather from last Saturday - no snow and feeling properly spring like on this

Lots of beautiful daffodils to be seen on my walk this morning, it really feels like winter has finally gone.

Another fabulous morning in the Pilates studio, if I look a bit warm in the photo it was straight after class!

Taking my clients through their hypnotherapy relaxation session was so rewarding today. I love hearing how the ladies in the group are really noticing the benefits.

After all this activity it was lovely to be treated to a delicious lunch by one of my daughters, so thoughtful of her and very much appreciated 🥰

What is hypnobirthing?

Hypnobirthing uses antenatal education, self-hypnosis, relaxation, massage and breathing techniques to help release any fear or tension you may have around giving birth to your baby.

Discover how the mind and body can work together to help you gain control over your own labour. These methods can be used to help you achieve a calm, natural and often drug free birth.

Hypnobirthing can be used to achieve a positive birth experience in hospital or at a homebirth.

We had a LOT of snow yesterday but thankfully the sunshine has cleared it enough to make getting around easier today.

After a busy week it was great to get back to the Pilates studio and onto the mat.

After finishing my exercise class I had the pleasure of taking my group hypnotherapy clients through their relaxation session, this was week three and there was some fabulous feedback!

I’m about to do a bit of reading and preparation for another day in the classroom tomorrow, I’m studying for a counselling qualification.

However busy your Saturday has been, I hope you’ve managed to fit in some self-care too

Happy

After an extremely busy week I was definitely ready for some self-care today!

Pilates this morning was an enjoyable challenge, we also did one of my favourite exercises during today’s class so I was in a great mood by the end.

The clients in my group hypnotherapy gave me some lovely feedback today too and seeing them so relaxed during the session was fantastic.

Hypnotherapy is such a fabulous tool to aid relaxation, if you’d like to find out more then take a look at my website (link in bio).

This week is Eating Disorders Awareness Week

If you are suffering, please speak to someone, you deserve help and support ❤️

Please don’t wait to seek help if you think a friend or family member may have an eating disorder. The person themselves may not recognise that they are ill because eating disorders can cause distorted thinking.

Support from friends and family can be life saving.

Busy again today!

Saturday mornings are something I look forward to all week - Beginning with a walk, pause for a coffee and then off to my usual Pilates class.

This morning I got to meet the latest lovely group of hypnotherapy clients who I’ll be working with over the next five weeks, taking them through a calming hypnotherapy session.

Essay writing this afternoon, not quite so enjoyable! I don’t think I’ll ever tire of learning, or complaining about writing essays 😂

What a lovely surprise - being given some beautiful tulips ‘just because’

Come and join me 😃

It was a bit windy on my walk this morning so I felt rather like I’d been dragged through a hedge backwards by the time I got to Pilates!

Lovely to see lots of crocuses and snowdrops in the park, I’m definitely ready for spring to arrive so seeing all those little flowers helped boost my mood.

Beautiful tulips in the cafe too, flowers everywhere today it seems 💐

Have a great weekend and don’t forget your own self-care

Whatever it may be, make time to do more of the things that bring you joy

I’m really looking forward to meeting my next class of clients!

We only have a few places left so don’t miss out - come and join me to discover for yourself how hypnotherapy can help you to relax and reconnect with your own inner strengths.

If you’d like to book a place on this course, or to find out more, please visit my website (link in bio)

As it’s Valentine’s Day tomorrow I thought it might be a good idea to think about the importance of loving yourself.

We’re generally not very good at self praise so try this little exercise -

Take a few moments to think about all your good qualities, your uniqueness and the words your friends would use to describe you. Allow yourself to feel proud of all you’ve achieved.

Above all, love yourself first ❤️

I’m very pleased to announce the dates for my next hypnotherapy relaxation course.

Running for five consecutive Saturdays, 10.35-11.25, beginning 25th of February.

Limited to seven spaces, this popular course will introduce you to the benefits of hypnotherapy as an aid to relaxation. I use a variety of hypnotherapy techniques and clients have found these sessions to be a welcome oasis of calm.

Incorporating therapeutic suggestions to boost self-confidence as well as promoting deep relaxation,
come and join me at Prominence Pilates Studios Cleckheaton - you deserve it!
