I’m forever blowing bubblesI had a reminder come up on Facebook about my grandson playing with a bubble machine. He had been so excited and desperate to get outside with it at 7.30 am that morning. He sat for ages watching the bubbles and running around trying to pop them all. He absolutely loved it when he popped one and made it disappear or when one just floated off into the distance before popping itself. It got me thinking. Visualisation is something that I often use during sessions when dealing with clients anxiety. Just imagine you have your own bubble machine and each bubble that comes out is filled with your worries, whether it’s worries about work, family, relationships or anything else that worries you, that makes you feel anxious. Now imagine those bubbles floating away up into the sky and taking them away, watch as each one pops and disappears along with those worries. Or perhaps you can visualise yourself prodding the bubbles and popping them to make sure those thoughts, worries and anxiety disappear. Why not take a few moments and close your eyes and visualise yourself doing that now. Marina

For years I suffered from depression. It started as post natal depression but it just grew from there because of the relationship I was in at the time. I would always put on a mask, (metaphorically) as I didn’t want people to know that I was struggling with life. I thought they’d think badly of me, think I couldn’t cope with looking after my kids. People thought I was really confident, only those close to me knew the truth. Behind closed doors I struggled with day to day life, letting things get on top of me all the time, taking it out on the ones I loved. After years of anti depressants I decided enough was enough I didn’t want to keep doing what I was doing. I wanted to get back to the person I was before having kids. The first step was coming of my meds, under supervision of my doctor of course. Then after seeing what Barry had achieved doing his NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) Training, I thought ok let’s give this stuff a go, let’s see if I can use it to change my mindset. It did, the first workshop I did was a Change Your Life in 3 Days and it did. I started to see more progress. It grew from there when I decided to become a hypnotherapist and is still changing as I continue to learn more. That’s why I know what I do works, why I understand what you’re going through. It’s not something I do to you, you have to want to make the change. So if you live your life using filters to hide the real you because you’re worried what people will think, let me tell you, it doesn’t matter what they think, it’s what you think that matters, it’s your thinking that you have to change and I’m here to help you do that, now, just get in touch. Keep the filters for having fun not to hide behind. This was me using one on TikTok for the purpose of this post and at the same time using the camera on my laptop. For your FREE consultation simply book here bit.ly/book_marina and let those you care about know. MarinaPs why do I look like someone in drag? 🤣.

Common questions People with anxiety are often unsure what to expect when they come to me for a session. “Will I have my eyes closed all the time?”“What if I can’t be hypnotised?”“Will I do anything I don’t want to do. Can I still be in control?”“What does it involve?”Let me help you ease those worries. Not all sessions involve hypnosis, so no your eyes won’t be closed all the time. You will always be in control, you will simply be more relaxed and as much as I like to entertain friends & family with fun hypnosis I NEVER take it into the session. If you feel you can’t be hypnotised that’s ok because a lot of the work I do is with your eyes open, or with them closed but you are relaxed. So what’s involved!Imagine those feelings you have inside you, the ones that cause you pain, whether they’re emotional or physical, you can be aware of where they are in your body and can perhaps feel them moving. Like butterflies in your tummy when you’re excited or nervous. Now imagine if I was able to pull those unwanted feelings out, or make them move in a different way, in a way that made them feel better, making you feel more relaxed and calm. Now imagine the happiest time in your life, perhaps it was a holiday, when your kids were born, whatever it is that makes you happy, and what I do is replace those old feelings with THOSE feelings. The ones that make you feel good, so that when you think about your issue it no longer has that effect on you, all you will feel is the love, the joy and the happiness that comes from those happy thoughts. Once a client has been to me the say things like “why didn’t I do this sooner” “I can’t get those old feelings back, where are they?”“I can’t believe how different I feel”“I feel so much happier now, it’s like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders” As much as all the little techniques I give you can help at that moment, working on whatever is the underlying issue is where the real change happens and this is done in a 1-1 situation, just you and me.If you’re ready to let those old unwanted feelings go, ready to have those wonderful feelings spinning around in your mind and body, then either drop me a message or give me a call.

And relax…My daughters car broke down last week and she’s been without one until yesterday, which has meant I’ve had to pick up my granddaughter and take her to school, drop her at her friends and on some days I’ve had to also take my grandson to school and also pick her up from school. I’ve had to take my daughter and her dog to the vets, take her to look for a new car, take her & the family to pick up said new car, I’ve taken my other grandchild out to get last minute shopping before she goes away on Tuesday. I feel like I’ve lived in my car 🚗 😂. In between that I’ve seen clients, met up with my sister in law for lunch and my friend for dinner. Today I’ve cleaned the house from top to bottom, then popped to the shops so thought I’d treat myself to some time to people watch and do nothing. I wouldn’t normally go into a coffee shop on my own, but I thought f*** it, why not, I get others to push themselves out their comfort zone, so I’m practicing what I preach. Is there something you feel comfortable doing on your own, have you done something lately to step out your comfort zone?Marina

BreathpowerEveryone breathes, but not everyone breathes fully & completely.Our next breath work session will be a multi sensory experience. Experiencing breathwork delivered in this way, takes the conscious mind to places not normally accessible. This opens the gateway to acknowledging the anchors that weigh us down and hold us back, and in doing so creates the ideal conditions to let them go… once and for all.We all have baggage from our life experiences, some we may not even be aware is still being carried, and some we are all too aware of. The experience creates an opportunity to identify, process and let go of the things we hold on to, even when we know better!Breathing has been used as a way of focusing the mind and managing states of consciousness for centuries, and in the past few decades, a far superior understanding of the underlying science has developed, but the insights and understandings that individuals can experience transcend what science can explain.No previous experience or knowledge of breathwork is required, as everything you need to know will be explained on the day.There are still a few spaces left for this session next week.
