Seven Eleven breathing is a simple practice that helps your nervous system come back into a state of balance. It works by slowing your breath in a natural way. You breathe in to the count of seven and breathe out to the count of eleven. The longer out breath sends a message to your brain that you are safe.

When you extend your out breath your body activates the rest and recover response. This softens the fight, flight or freeze response and begins to calm the mind. Your heart rate slows, your muscles release tension and your thoughts become clearer.

This gentle breathing pattern also supports the vagus nerve. When the vagus nerve receives the signal that the body is safe it helps to settle overwhelming feelings and restores emotional steadiness. Over time this practice can help you build a more resilient and settled nervous system.

Seven Eleven breathing is easy to learn, works quickly and can be used any time you want to feel calmer or more grounded. It is a powerful way to guide your body back into regulation and create a sense of inner safety.

Parts integration is a deep NLP process that brings the conscious mind and the subconscious mind back into unity. Sometimes we feel torn because one part of us wants to move forward while another part holds back. These inner parts are not a problem. They are simply different expressions of our mind trying to protect us in their own way.

The conscious mind often focuses on goals progress and the path ahead. The subconscious mind focuses on safety emotional memory and long term patterns. When these two levels of mind send different messages we feel stuck or pulled in two directions.

Parts integration gives both sides a voice. It allows you to uncover the positive intention behind each part release tension between them and guide them toward working together. When the conscious and subconscious mind align you feel powerful clear and centred. Decisions become lighter and your energy flows in one direction again.

This is the moment when inner conflict becomes inner strength.

The Lemon Technique is a simple way to show how strongly the mind and body are connected. When we imagine holding, smelling, or tasting a lemon, the body often reacts automatically maybe a little extra saliva, a tightening in the jaw, or a slight “zing” sensation.

What’s interesting is that nothing real has happened. It’s simply the brain responding to an imagined experience as if it were real. This reminds us that our inner thoughts and images have a powerful influence on how we feel, how our body reacts, and how we move through the world. In NLP, we use this to help people understand that by changing what’s happening internally, we can change our emotional and physical responses too. If you would like me to help you to get you into a healthy mindset then please let me know. ireland

Many of the people I work with come to me carrying addictions that show up in different forms over-eating, drugs, alcohol, smoking, or any behaviour that feels “out of their control.” ⚡️

In my experience, these patterns rarely begin with the addiction itself. They begin with a moment of overwhelm, a trauma, or a memory the nervous system never learned how to release.

The real question is: when did this start, and what was the emotional trigger underneath it?

My work focuses on helping clients uncover that origin point in a safe, grounded way. Using Havening, EFT tapping, and hypnosis, we gently revisit and reshape that early experience. This isn’t about reliving trauma, it’s about re-imagining it so the brain stops treating it as a threat. When the emotional charge dissolves, the dependency it once fuelled loses its grip.

This is how lasting change happens. Not by fighting the addiction, but by transforming the story that gave it power.

Some lovely pressure points for you to work on to bring ease to the body and mind.

💫 Meridiano de la Vesícula Biliar (GB1–GB12) — Armonía, Visión y Liberación de Tensión

El meridiano de la vesícula biliar recorre los lados de la cabeza, el cuello y parte del cuerpo.
Es un canal energético clave para liberar tensión muscular, equilibrar emociones, mejorar la visión y aliviar dolores de cabeza o mandíbula.
Estos puntos (GB1 a GB12) son esenciales en acupuntura y masaje energético para restaurar el flujo libre del Qi (energía vital) en la parte superior del cuerpo.

⚪ 📍Significado de los puntos principales (GB1–GB12)

GB1 – Claridad Visual y Mental 👁️
Ubicado cerca del ángulo externo del ojo.
Ayuda a relajar la vista, aliviar migrañas frontales y despejar la mente.

GB2 – Punto Auditivo 🎧
Situado delante del trago (oreja).
Beneficia la audición, calma el zumbido en los oídos y reduce la tensión mandibular.

GB3 – Armonizador Mandibular 💆‍♀️
Favorece la relajación de la articulación temporomandibular (ATM), útil para el bruxismo y estrés facial.

GB4 – Liberador de Tensión Temporal 🌬️
Ubicado en la sien.
Disminuye cefaleas tensionales y mejora la concentración.

GB5 – Punto de Equilibrio Emocional 🌸
Ayuda a calmar irritabilidad y ansiedad, equilibrando la energía mental.

GB6 – Alivio de Dolores Laterales de Cabeza ⚡
Relaja músculos craneales y mejora el flujo de energía lateral en la cabeza.

GB7 – Conexión Cerebral 🧠
Estimula la oxigenación cerebral, mejora la memoria y claridad mental.

GB8 – Punto de Migrañas 🌿
Muy utilizado en acupresión para aliviar migrañas y mareos por tensión.

GB9 – Tranquilidad Interna 💫

GB12 – Liberación Profunda del Estrés 🌙
Punto final en la base del cráneo.
Favorece el sueño, calma nerviosismo y relaja la nuca. Ideal en masajes relajantes.

💆‍♀️🌿 El meridiano de la vesícula biliar es un puente entre la mente y el cuerpo. Sus puntos distribuidos por la cabeza y el cuello liberan la tensión acumulada, mejoran la circulación energética y aportan una sensación inmediata de ligereza.

Cada punto actúa como una válvula que libera presión, alivia dolores de cabeza, calma emociones y mejora la concentración. En acupresión o masaje terapéutico, estimular esta línea favorece la claridad mental, reduce el cansancio ocular y libera bloqueos de estrés que se concentran en la mandíbula, las sienes y el cuello.

🌬️✨ Cuando la energía del meridiano fluye libremente, la mente se despeja, la vista se relaja y la postura se alinea. Este equilibrio permite que el cuerpo se sienta más liviano y la mente más serena.

💛 Dedica unos minutos a respirar profundo y presionar suavemente cada punto con los dedos. Sentirás cómo la energía se mueve y el bienestar se restablece de forma natural.

I can help you delink the painful trauma stored in your amygdala by carrying out different techniques that I am trained in.

Please reach out if this relates to you.

Trauma is not only in your memories. It lives in your body too. In your breath, your heartbeat, your posture, and the way you react before you can even think. When something overwhelming happens, your brain does not always turn it into words. Sometimes it gets stored as tension, tight muscles, racing thoughts, or a sudden wave of fear. This is not weakness. It is your nervous system trying to protect you.

Scientists call this somatic memory. The body remembers what the mind tries to move past. You might notice your shoulders tighten when someone raises their voice. Your stomach knot during conflict. Your breath get shallow in stressful moments at work. These reactions are your body saying something once felt unsafe.

And here is why it matters in your work. Jobs come with pressure, deadlines, uncertainty, and difficult conversations. If you do not understand how trauma lives in your body, you might think you are failing or not confident when really your system is in survival mode. And if you lead others, this awareness builds empathy. It helps you support people instead of judging them for stress responses they may not control.

Healing does not always start in the mind. Sometimes it starts with breath, grounding, stretching, pausing, and giving your body safety so your thoughts can follow. Your body remembers. But it can also relearn safety, strength, and calm. Treating yourself gently is not weakness. It is how you build resilience for your future.

Many people are turning to weight-loss jabs right now, hoping for a quick fix. 💉

But if trauma, stress or emotional triggers have contributed to weight gain, the real healing often needs to happen at a deeper level.

Lee shared how working together using NLP, Havening, and Hypnosis helped them regain control of his health and lose 21lbs in just 6 weeks, not through restriction, but through resetting his mindset and releasing old emotional patterns.

Sustainable change happens when we address both the mind and the body.

24 years ago I began working with those with sports injuries - back pain and other physical ailments through deep tissue massage. 🙌

I went on to train at the London School of Osteopathic Medicine in Marylebone. I’ve worked with hundreds of clients using osteopathy and chiropractic techniques to help release what the body holds on to - whether that’s pain, stress, or old trauma.

Here in Belfast, I am well known for finding solutions, and patients are often sent to me after they have been unable to resolve their pain with tablets, rest and even years of therapy. But when the body is still carrying tension, the mind can’t fully let go. By gently restoring balance through the body, we can bring relief not just physically, but psychologically too.

True healing often begins when both the body and the mind are given the chance to move freely again.

Over the past three decades, I’ve had the privilege of helping people move beyond the patterns and beliefs that once defined them. My work has always been guided by a deep passion to keep learning, refining, and expanding how I can best serve each person who walks through my door.

One of the most impactful experiences in that journey was training with Kath Temple of The Happiness Foundation. Completing my NLP Master Practitioner training with Kath fundamentally changed how I work. It’s helped me support clients in overcoming long-term struggles - addiction, anxiety, weight issues, and the effects of trauma—by helping them reconnect with their own sense of choice, strength, and calm.

That training continues to shape every session I deliver today, bringing both compassion and proven tools to help people create real, sustainable change.

Thank you Kath. I am forever grateful.

When people go to the effort of leaving such lovely reviews I think it’s good manners to share them. I loved working with Maria and love seeing her step into the best version of herself. She’s got this, and I’m excited to see her reach her target for Christmas and beyond.
