I originally trained as a Hypnotherapist in 2006 with Bernard Barden. He was a fantastic and engaging tutor who inspired me to completely transform my life. During my training I applied the techniques I learned to overcome much of my childhood trauma. Previously, I had quite severe social anxiety and was constantly in a state of stress, worrying about everything to excess. My training helped me to realise what was happening and to change it – getting rid of my fears and my belief that I wasn’t good enough or as worthy as others. Since then I have followed my dreams and adapted them along the way, always learning and developing my skills to help myself and those around me.In 2008 I discovered EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), taking Level 1 with Irene Lambert from the Willow Therapy Clinic. Since then, I have grown to love it more and more, using it every day in my life to keep my positive energy levels up and my stress levels down. I have never come across anything else that can take you from extremely stressed to completely calm within a couple of minutes! It is such a transformative technique and it’s so quick and easy to do. I use it for almost anything you can think of – migraines, pain, motivation, sadness and stress to name a few.Not long after I became an EFT Practitioner (Level 2) in 2010, I had my third miscarriage. I didn’t have any children and didn’t know if I ever could so when this happened for the third time I decided to stop trying for a while. I couldn’t face going through that again. So I spent about three months grieving and didn’t really use EFT at all. But one day, in January, I had a realisation that I was ready to make changes in my life and get back on track with me and my passion; my therapy work. So I started to use EFT every day. Firstly, I was able to safely release the pain and the trauma that had become stuck and was making me relive the feelings of loss every time I saw my best friend’s daughter, or a friend of mind got pregnant, or I saw the advert for the pregnancy tester (or any other ‘baby’ triggers). Once that was cleared, my mind was clear and I felt determined to restore balance to my body (which I had not been looking after) so that I would have the best chance of conceiving later on. I used a technique I developed from EFT (Intention Tapping) to help me to focus my mind on my goals and I soon became healthy inside and out; exercising regularly, enjoying my food and getting rid of about a stone and a half along the way. Nine months later I was ready to try again and I am now blessed with a beautiful daughter.Irene Lambert has been an amazing teacher; like Bernard, she has helped to inspire me to be my best and to find new ways of helping others. I took my Advanced Practitioner training (Level 3) when I was seven months pregnant and in 2013 I was inspired to become a trainer so I could use my skills, knowledge and experience to help inspire others and to raise the profile of EFT as a companion to health care in the UK.
