YOU DON’T REALISE JUST HOW MUCH MORE YOUR RESEARCH COULD BE TELLING YOU❗

Your family history holds valuable insights to why you are the way you are: your personality, habits, and ways of communicating. The experiences of past generations may still be influencing you today.
• Why you react in certain ways?
• Why you have habits you can't break?
• Why you feel naturally happy or sad?

Whether you struggle through life or sail through it, hide your feelings or wear your heart on your sleeve. ❤

Whether you are comfortable in company, or prefer solitude, and whether there are things you would like to change about yourself or not. You family history can provide answers to things you have wondered about or are struggling with.

Your family history shapes you - not just through your DNA but through the family who raised you, and the generations who, in turn, raised them. The lives of your ancestors still influence who you are today, in the 21st century and these inherited mindsets, and emotional patterns can bridge centuries. 🌳

Exploring your heritage from a new perspective and understanding how your mind works can lead you better understand yourself and resolve family relationship issues.

Whether you are just curious or dealing with anxiety, anger, indecision, or low self-esteem, Reframing Roots is a new approach to your research, offering insights, clarity and potential resolutions via psychological insights and understanding. 🧩

My next intake kicks off Tuesday 26 March 2025 at 6pm via Zoom. You will work with me in a small group across 9 fortnightly group sessions, 6 private 1-1 sessions over the course of several months. Each session is recorded in case you can’t make it live.

Are you struggling to understand yourself or your relationships?
🤔💭

Or just curious about why you are the way you are and where it all comes from?

Your family history may hold the key! 🔑✨ Beyond names and dates, your family tree is filled with hidden clues that shape your thoughts, behaviours, and emotions. Even expert genealogists may miss the psychological patterns woven into their research.
Many of us inherit emotional patterns through generations. These can be hard to recognise and even harder to break. Without understanding the root causes, we can feel stuck in the same cycles of conflict, behaviour, or struggle.

🔍 Have you ever wondered why you react a certain way?
💬 Why some relationships feel more challenging than others?
Following the success of Mind and Roots, I’m excited to introduce the next chapter: Reframing Roots, starting Tuesday 26 March. This enhanced course offers:

✨ A longer programme for deeper exploration
👥 More group sessions for shared insights
💡 Personalised 1:1 guidance to help you uncover and understand your patterns

If you're looking to:
✔️ Improve family relationships 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
✔️ Understand inherited traits and behaviours 🧬
✔️ Gain a fresh perspective on your genealogy research 📜.. then Reframing Roots is for you! 🌱

📅 Places are limited to just 8 people – don’t leave it too late to book!

Wow! I am thrilled and excited to have (unbeknown to me) been nominated twice for the Rising Star Award in the Women's' Business Networking Awards for 2025! I don't know what to say so am pasted the kind words I received below. Thank you to everyone who has supported me through the ups and down of recent life and in my onwards path!

Following life changing events, Celia re-trained to become a healing and holistic mind coach and therapist - she has a passion for family history and during this last year has realised how by understanding the past can help us understand who we are in the present!

She has changed her business, reacted to feedback, run taster courses and I know that 2025 is going to be her year! She has overcome so much to set up her path and her business for this next year - she truly is a rising star!

🌿 Discover the Power of Family History and Self-Understanding 🌿

For over 40 years, I’ve been deeply involved in family history research, with nearly 20 years as a professional genealogist. My journey has taken me across the globe, conducting research, lecturing internationally, and writing three books on the subject.

Seven years ago, my life took a challenging turn—experiences I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Yet through those tough times, I found new purpose. I retrained as a therapist and began a journey of personal growth, discovering who I truly am and learning to embrace that person.

As I started working with therapy clients, one thing became strikingly clear—almost every conversation circled back to family. Clients shared their thoughts and emotions about their relatives, and we often delved into their family history to better understand their present challenges.

It became evident that to understand ourselves, we must look at where we come from—our DNA, our upbringing, and the generations before us. The experiences, emotions, and stories of our ancestors shape the patterns we carry today—both the helpful and the limiting.

✨ That’s how Mind and Roots was born. ✨

Through this unique method, I help individuals connect their family history with their current thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Whether you’re curious about the connection between your ancestry and psychology or seeking to break free from repeating emotional patterns, Mind and Roots offers a personalized experience just for you.

Let’s explore your personal story together, weaving in family history, psychology, and self-discovery. Whether you’re new to genealogy or a seasoned researcher, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
