What are you up to this weekend?

✨ Visiting somewhere new?
😌 Relaxing after a busy week?
💼 Working?
🐾 Enjoying some cuddles with your pets?

Today, my sister and I tried out a different run club… which meant missing the usual park run!

We joined a Sweaty Betty x GAIL’s collaboration run, and it did not disappoint. A change of scenery, a lovely crowd, and a chance to get those feel good chemicals flowing… plus some goodies at the end certainly helped boost the mood! 🎁

Sometimes stepping outside your usual routine is all you need to reset, energise, and reconnect with yourself.

Hope your weekend brings you something that lifts your spirits too ✨

Stressed?

It’s a natural response, your body’s way of helping you deal with challenges. But when we stay stuck in stress for too long, it can start to affect our sleep, mood, focus, and even our physical health.

Hypnotherapy can help you find healthy outlets for stress, calm your mind, and empty that stress bucket before it overflows.

Today I went for a run in the rain 🌧️ not because it was ideal weather, but because the house next door is having renovations, and I could feel myself getting tense. The fresh air and movement helped me reset and let go of that built-up tension.

It’s a reminder that small actions, taken with intention, can make a big difference to how we feel.

✨You Are Enough ✨

Fighting the daily pressures of work, family, pets, and everything else life brings your way?

Feeling overwhelmed?

It’s easy to forget, but you are enough just as you are.

Hypnotherapy can help you quiet the noise, reduce everyday stress, and rediscover a sense of calm and balance.

Great first day yesterday helping out with Gemma - Coaching Through Life weekend retreat! Such a lovely group of people and an inspiring atmosphere already.

Today is our first full day here, and we’re getting ready for a day filled with reflection, connection, and personal growth.

Feeling grateful to be part of something so meaningful 💚

When you’re trying to draw a brain for a hypnotherapy client… but it ends up looking a little too Freudian 😂🧠

On the bright side, laughter actually boosts memory!

When we laugh, our brain releases dopamine the same “feel-good” chemical that strengthens learning and memory connections. So maybe that questionable doodle wasn’t such a bad idea after all…

REVIEW:

I’m so proud of my client! In only a short number of sessions, they made such incredible progress. Hearing how well they did with their scans was truly heart warming.

If you’d like to see how hypnotherapy can help you achieve your goals, I’d love to hear from you.

‘Many thanks to Melissa for helping me with my longstanding claustrophobia, thus enabling me to tolerate the scans necessary during my cancer treatment in a way I couldn’t before. She takes time to explain everything clearly and patiently, and is empathetic and encouraging. I now feel much calmer and more positive, with a better understanding and the tools to be able to deal with daily pressures and stresses with confidence. I wouldn’t hesitate to call upon her again should I need further hypnotherapy.’

☀️ Taking a moment by the sea reminds me how important it is to pause, breathe, and recharge.

When life feels overwhelming, even a few minutes of calm can make a difference. #

👉 What’s your favourite way to relax and reset when things get stressful?

🌧️ Just taking a quiet moment to watch the rain fall before my next hypnotherapy session. Thankful to be warm and cozy inside.

🎨 Painting How I Can Help – Flying Phobia ✈️

Although my painting isn’t perfect… neither is the thought of a holiday when it comes with a dreaded plane flight!

Hypnotherapy can help with phobias such as flying by gently retraining the brain’s response, reducing anxiety, and creating a calmer, more positive mindset.

With a solution-focused approach, we work together to:
✨ Lower the “fight or flight” response
✨ Build confidence and control
✨ Reframe unhelpful thought patterns
✨ Focus on the positive aspects of your journey

So that instead of fear holding you back, you can feel calmer and more in control when taking to the skies. 🌍💙

✨ Finding Me Again ✨

Recently, someone asked me: “What are you doing for you?”

It really stopped me in my tracks. My days were filled with focusing on others:

🐾 Overtime at the vets
🌀 Not giving my hypnotherapy business the attention it deserves
🏃 Training runs that felt more like marathon prep than joy
🏡 Caring for kittens and my boyfriend

I realised I was getting overwhelmed.

That question nudged me to be honest with myself. I began reframing instead of seeing these things as demands from others, I chose to recognise them as things I want to do and things I can do. (Reframing)

And when I shifted my perspective, I realised:
✨ I love helping clients at the vets
✨ I love caring for my kittens (and my partner!)
✨ I love running

But I also needed more me in my life. So I made space for:

🎨 Painting random art in my free time
💌 Messaging friends who light me up
🌱 Focusing on growing my hypnotherapy practice

Now that I’m back to finding myself again, I can show up as my best self for me, and for you. 💙

Don’t be scared to ask yourself the question too.

What are you doing for you?

Where have I been?

It’s been a little quiet on here lately but I promise I’m still very much around and available for hypnotherapy sessions 💚

A few little updates:
🏃‍♀️ Training for a half marathon raising money for CALM (wish me luck!)
🧠 Had a great supervision session that’s keeping skills fresh and ideas flowing
🌐 My website is having a little downtime, but you can still reach me directly
🍫 Balancing runs with a generous slice (or two) of chocolate cake
🐾 Spending plenty of time with furry friends, of course
🕒 Clocking the odd bit of overtime at the vets too
💍 Went to a beautiful wedding
⛰️ Hiked up Snowdon!

Thanks for bearing with me! I’m looking forward to sharing more with you again soon.
