Tattoos – please think twice before getting one.

As a hypnotherapist, my mission is to promote wellbeing for the mind and body. It could be exercise, diet, gratitude, or simple breathing advice.

However, sometimes it’s lifestyle guidance. Stop smoking, get control of destructive behaviour, or break addictions.

Over 25 years ago a friend who is a specialist in reconstructive surgery advised me to “never ever get a tattoo, as you are harming more than your skin”. I never wanted one so no big deal, but as time passed, it became “art and fashionable”, and several friends children were getting them.

You might still consider it art, but I beg you to consider the physical consequences to your body. There is scientific evidence to prove tattoo ink collects in your lymph nodes and interferes with the immune system. This can potentially cause lifelong changes to the body’s defences system. Scientist have found ink in lymph nodes up to two years after tattooing. You can’t see it, but the ink develops a serious inflammation in the nodes which, in some cases, creates a cycle of chronic inflammation. The point simply, this can interfere with vaccinates being effective within the body, like Covid-19.

Think about it, “Would you rather have a tattoo or an efficient immune system?” If you really want one, get the temporary tattoo or Heleena tattoo. Your body will thank you.

Potential Risks & Skin Effects Summary:
• Allergic Reactions can appear weeks, months, or even years after getting the tattoo, particularly with red ink.
• Infections: Bacterial infections can occur if instruments are not properly sterilized or during the healing process.
• Skin Changes: Potential for granulomas (small bumps) or keloids (thickened, scarred skin)
• Long-term Health Risks: Some studies suggest a potential association between tattoo ink, chronic inflammation, and an increased risk of certain cancers. Be aware that those with compromised immune systems or certain skin conditions, are at higher risk
• Masking Skin Conditions: Tattoos can cover up moles, making it difficult to detect changes that could indicate skin cancer.
• MRI Complications from swelling or burning during scan.

Relationship in Trouble? How to tell.

A psychotherapist hypnotherapist reveals the very quiet, innocent-looking behaviours of your partner that signal your relationship is in trouble – and what they really mean

Please see below homepage coverage in Daily Mail.

Your Body is Gossiping: The Secret Language of Longevity

Beneath your skin, a high-speed dialogue is happening 24/7. It’s a sophisticated network of "cross-talk" where your organs, bones, and even your fat cells are constantly whispering to one another.

When this conversation is clear, you feel vibrant. When it’s interrupted, your health begins to fade. Here is what your body is trying to tell you.

1. Your Skeleton is More Than Just Scaffolding
Did you know your bones are actually part of your hormonal (endocrine) system? They aren't just there for structural support; they release a powerful protein called osteocalcin. This messenger influences everything from your brain health and insulin secretion to your physical endurance.

2. Your Fat is a Messenger
We often think of fat as "stored energy," but it’s actually an active communicator. Your adipose tissue (fat) talks directly to your brain to regulate your metabolism and, most importantly, to dictate the biological speed at which you age.

3. Toxicity "Mutes" the Conversation
When we overload on sugar, alcohol, or processed toxins, we create internal "static." This noise jams the signals, preventing your organs from communicating effectively. The result?

Stalled tissue regeneration.
Irreversible muscle loss.
Increased risk of pulmonary disease and cancer.
The Mental Connection

This internal chatter doesn’t just affect your physical frame; it dictates your mood, energy, and mental clarity. When your internal signals are jammed, your mental health and total lifespan pay the ultimate price.

How to Restore the Connection

Your body is a masterpiece of biological communication. It deserves your respect, and you deserve the vitality that comes from honoring it. To clear the "static" and start healing, focus on these four pillars:

Fuel Wisely: Give your organs the clean nutrients they need to "speak" clearly.

Move Daily: Physical activity keeps your skeletal and muscular signals strong and resonant.

Rest Deeply: Sleep is the "system reboot" that allows your body to recalibrate and repair.

Connect Often: Love, laughter, and community are the external signals that harmonize your internal world.

Heal thyself. Do it today—for the life you have yet to live.

The Paper Trail of Inefficiency

I’ve never been a fan of wasting paper. When a physical copy is unavoidable, I make sure it lives a full life: the blank side becomes a notepad, and the rest is scrunched into a ball for my cat. It’s important to me that every sheet gets at least two extra "lives" before hitting the bin.

My real frustration lies with "the bombardment." Whether it’s endless campaign flyers or local councils spending vast sums on non-urgent "updates," the lack of logic is staggering.

While I recognize that digital poverty is real and some people lack internet access, there are smarter, communal ways to bridge that gap. Why not utilize existing hubs? It's mainly only relevant to the local community so use information boards at supermarkets and shopping centres, or GP surgeries and libraries.

We are seeing small victories like double-sided printing and QR codes replacing bulky, outdated booklets—but the mindset needs to shift further. We should all be asking: "Do I really need to print this, or can I just snap a photo and delete it later?"

A Resource Worth Sharing

In the spirit of being "one-and-done" with paper, I’m sharing the details from the NHS Lung Cancer Screening initiative. For smokers, va**rs, or those living with conditions like asthma, this information is vital.

I’ve digitized it here to save the ink, the paper, and the cost. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a cat toy to manufacture.

Last weekend I went to Fulham Pier to listen to free Jazz. My son and I sat having a hot beverage. We were laughing so hard about something that made us cry, and then he went off to video the musicians. I was still wiping my eyes as he walked away. At the next moment, I was filled with a “it’s a wonderful world” moment. Instead of seeing “trees of green and red roses too”, I was filled with a simple happiness from all that surrounded me.

The music, laughing, my chia latte, the love of my son, people smiling and enjoying themselves, the positive vibe, the weather (not raining), and on and on my train of thought jumped from one thought to another. My brain shouted out a few other things of gratitude like it was a timed game, “name as many happy things as you can in one minute to win a prise." Health, walking here, freedom, the photos I took of the quartet to send to several friends who would enjoy the Jazz, their replies and that I have so many good friends, etc…

The thought of a timed game was even fun. Try it. Set your watch and enjoy a minute of appreciating all that you have. Your day will be brighter in 60 seconds.

Thoughts that flowed into my mind of so many things. The mere thought of the "timed game" was an injection of pure joy. It turns out, happiness doesn't have to be a slow burn; it can be a sprint.

Try it yourself. Set your watch. Give the world sixty seconds to prove how good it can be. I promise your day will look different when the timer goes off.

Though this was really powerful from various perspectives. It's worth the watch.

Happy New Year!

It’s almost halfway point for January and so far, so good.

I set my action plan for 2026 back in November - December so I’m already on track for my goals. This halfway point is a good time to get started. You are not in the category of failing resolutions and you are past the “getting back into work mode”, so take action now.

As previously advised, a life wheel can help you focus. Just make sure you only choose 4-5 areas to work on at a time and get a calendar to plan in your action steps.

My example.
1. Taking an Italian Class
2. Starting project for back of living room. Clear out
3. Video and Voice recordings project for Hypnosis
4. Book in things I want to do for 2026, 1 holiday, 2 concerts, 3 shows and 1 networking event. To get started.

It’s fun and exciting to have things to look forward to, even for the work events. I use the word “networking” but for me it’s more fun to use “connecting”.

Play with the words and see how it makes you feel.

Networking – Connecting
Nervous – Excited (same response as far as our fear or flight response)
Difficult - New Challenge
Risk - Opportunity
Can’t – Can

Keep changing, keep evolving, keep exploring, keep learning, keep taking care of yourself and your future.

It’s going to be an exciting year. Go start planning it now, I mean immediately!

Yeah for me!!!

Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist Marygrace Anderson reveals five daily habits to keep it young

16/12/2025

I am so thankful to my clients for leaving reviews, and this one is so important because she uses the word “skeptical” (US). I too was sceptical when I went to see a hypnotherapist for the first time over 20 years ago. You couldn’t even Google “Hypnotherapist”!

This doesn’t apply just to hypnotherapy. I think we are sceptical about a lot of things we don’t know about until we research it or experience it. Hypnotherapy often still has a mystery of the unknown about it from movies portraying “you lose all control and can be made to do things against your will”.

Honestly? It’s almost 2026 and if anyone still believes that, then they believe aliens are controlling us all from outer space.

Hypnotherapy is a highly effective and wonderful too.
Now if you ask Google what is “Hypnotherapy”, the answer is

“Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation, focused attention, and suggestion to help you enter a trance-like state, accessing your subconscious to create positive changes in habits, thoughts, and feelings for issues like stress, phobias, or pain. It's a collaborative therapy, not mind control, where you remain in control and work with a therapist to reach goals, unlike stage hypnosis”.

Googles moved on, so can you. If you want to know more, call me.

How it works
• Relaxation:
You're guided into a deeply relaxed, focused state, often through breathing or visualization.
• Focused Attention:
Your attention narrows, blocking distractions and increasing your responsiveness to helpful suggestions.
• Subconscious Access:
This state allows you to reframe negative patterns or beliefs stored in your subconscious mind.
• Therapeutic Suggestions:
The therapist uses tailored verbal prompts to help you overcome challenges, build skills, and achieve goals.
