Nourishing Mind, Body & Gut

As a Master NLP Practitioner, Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapist, and Naturopath I am passionate about the mind, body and gut connection.

Getting an upset stomach during times of stress is an example of the mind-gut connection. Being on high-alert and having a gut imbalance significantly impacts our wellbeing. A gut imbalance has been linked to depression, eating disorders and disordered eating, neurodevelopmental and autoimmune conditions. 

I offer a range of Systematic Kinesiology® techniques to support gut health. I am a HypnoIBS® Practitioner, Certified GAPS Practitioner, and SIBO Doctor approved. I have specialist training in IBD, eating disorders, and neurodiversity. I am also trained in Adaptive Therapy for Autistic Adults®.

With autoimmune conditions the immune system mistakes part of our body as foreign and releases autoantibodies that attack healthy cells.

Often these conditions start sub-clinically, meaning they are not picked up through lab tests because of the narrow measure of what is considered outside the normal range. Systematic Kinesiology® and Naturopathy are wonderful in recognising tell-tale signs early, also easing and reversing conditions. 

As well as targeted Systematic Kinesiology® balancing, I use Eden Energy Medicine techniques for autoimmune conditions and I have specialist training in Hypnotherapy for chronic pain.

I find that a gut imbalance and / or trauma often sits behind many autoimmune conditions, so these are areas I explore with my autoimmune clients to support them in returning to vitality.

Trauma and self-belief are areas I work extensively with. I have added to my NLP and Hypnotherapy background by training in three trauma focused therapies: Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT), Metaphysical Anatomy (MAT®), and Somasense®. I have also completed training with NICABM on the Neurobiology of Trauma and Mastering the Treatment of Trauma.

I often combine my therapies with Systematic Kinesiology® techniques, such as, trauma recall and the Emotional Stress Release (ESR) programme. Donna Eden's chakra healing is also a gentle way to release trauma. I have co-created Soma-Psych Alignment®, which allows the body to do the talking, so sessions can be content free.

I support clients with a lack of confidence, low self-esteem, imposter syndrome,and burnout. I also work with neurodivergent clients and provide targeted support to those who have received a diagnosis later in life.

I work in a neuro-affirmative way to support neurodivergent clients holistically. I have completed specialist training to ensure I understand and meet the needs of a neurodiverse client base, including but not limited to ADHD, dyslexia, autism, and PDA.

Adaptive Therapy for Autistic Adults (ATAA®) is specifically designed to meet the needs of people who have reached adulthood, often with undiagnosed autism, and want support moving forward. ATAA® considers the needs of an autistic person and starts from the point that the world  is processed differently from neurotypical people. 

As an ATAA® Practitioner, I bring my knowledge of autism into my work. This includes ensuring sessions respect sensory needs and communicating in a way that recognises any differences in communication. 

When people used to hear I was a Clinical

Hypnotherapist and Nutritional Therapist they assumed I specialised in weight loss. This is not how I choose to support clients and there is no reference to weight loss on my website. This is because a significant number of my clients are moving away from disordered eating.

In recent years this has been a focus of my training. I have completed the NCFED Practitioner Skills for Eating Disorders; NEDDE Diploma in Eating Disorders, Disordered Eating & Neurodiversity; and a short-course with ION on Helping your Client to Build a Positive Relationship with Food. I also have specialist Hypnotherapy training for eating disorders.

Depending on the type of eating disorder I may be required to work alongside a psychotherapist and / or clinical dietician to provide support.
