An Important Principle
There are certain beliefs I hold that feel central, not just to how I work, but to how I see change and possible healing. One of the most important is this:
Mind and body are not separate. They are one system.
What affects the body affects the mind. And what affects the mind affects the body.
To some, this may seem self-evident. To others, it can be a radical shift in how they view life, health, and healing processes.
I first came upon this idea nearly 30 years ago and yes, I see the mind-body connection every day. In myself and in others.​
Consider this example.

Has anyone ever spoken to you sharply, and you immediately felt it in your body?
A blush rising to your cheeks…
A skipped heartbeat…
A knot in your stomach…
A breath caught in your chest?​​
Some years ago, during an appointment with a neurologist I asked how that worked, how can a psychological event trigger a physiological response? He didn’t know.
I already knew that psychosomatic illness is a recognised phenomenon.I wondered however if there could also be such a thing as psychosomatic wellness? I’m still exploring, looking for tips, techniques and solutions.
Is it possible that a person’s attitude, beliefs, or emotional state could influence their recovery, resilience, or sense of ease?
A psychological event can contribute to a physiological condition (and vice versa).
This is the principle I start from.
So the question then becomes:
If mind and body are one system, how can we support that system in a way that promotes healing, ease, and wellbeing?
The tools I use, NLP, self-hypnosis, and CBT, are practical, gentle, and designed to help you build a more supportive relationship with your body and your experience.
Together, we explore what’s possible, one breath, one insight, one change at a time.
