Before sessions

I had been getting debilitating pain in both my arms, particularly my wrists and hands to the point I had been for an x ray for suspected arthritis. I was wearing wrist supports and was limited in things I could do. I also had pain in my legs, knees and ankles and my skin can get inflamed and itchy. I had started yoga about a year before finding out about your sessions and been working to improve my health with healthy eating. I had definitely noticed some improvements which I guess opened my mind to trying this and I’m so ridiculously pleased I did.

During the sessions

Sessions were clear, informative, engaging and purposeful, delivered in the perfect mix of a professional and personable manner. I felt so free of judgment and very safe. Each session was followed up with the information covered with clear instructions and information on the new tools learnt, or recordings if appropriate. This was invaluable in allowing me to embed the learning into my life. The mixture of theoretically understating why the pain was happening and tools to help change those connections between brain and body was a perfect balance and I always left the sessions feeling empowered.

After the sessions

I feel like I am a different person. I am now living pretty much pain free. The difference these sessions have made to both my mental and physical health is incredible. I was beginning to think I needed to consider a different job due to my pain, but I am now again fully engaged and happy with my career (which I have spent years working hard to get to where I am, so this is no small thing). When sensations occur, I have tools to manage them, and I know that they will pass. I am using my body more freely than I have in years, I have a healthy understanding and acceptance of what was causing my pain, that it was ok, it was real but I can take control of it and change it. I have the knowledge and tools to do this. I have the power!! I am equipped with daily strategies that are now build into my routines and I have an array of tools to employ any time I need. I am so much happier within my body and mind, we are working together to find our peace.

I would 100% recommend your sessions to anyone who is open to exploring a new way of approaching pain and how to manage it. I can honestly say my life is completely changed. You made me feel completely at ease, safe and understood and I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions.

I’d been struggling with long COVID for almost three years when I met Julie. At that time, things had hugely improved but I was stuck with brain fog, fatigue, sleeping for ten hours a day, having to take naps in the afternoon and generally feeling as if the handbrake was stuck on. I’d been through the NHS Long COVID clinic which advised a good diet, plenty of sleep and gentle exercise. I’d tried various potions and lotions and even sessions in a hyper baric chamber to no avail.

When I met Julie and heard her story it sounded like it could work for me too. In the first session Julie put me at ease and then took me through a presentation explaining what was happening in my mind and body. I could feel myself being led along a path, and then we got to the conclusion. My brain was creating my symptoms, therefore I can fix it by thinking differently. We worked together on suitable affirmations and I set to work.

The change was delightfully quick. I feel like my old self. Since that first session I’ve only had one nap, I am active and clear headed all day, I am running again and able to work as much as I like. The follow up session was more of a ‘Well, that’s you sorted then’ round up, although we are staying in touch to keep me on track and adapting the affirmations to help me reach other life goals.

I recommend having a chat with Julie to see if this course of action could help you with your problems. Chatting over a few possible referrals Julie quickly eliminated the ones it definitely wouldn’t work for and those that were good candidates. Just have an open mind and see what happens!

For the past year and a half I have been having sessions with Julie every fortnight and I would love to write how I experienced these talks and what I have learned from them.
