When it comes to self-care, different activities work for different people. Do you have any to share that work for you? Let us know in the comments. #SelfCareWeek
We are delighted to announce that we are now able to offer Re-Alignment therapy, proven to be a great for relieving stress.
Here is a brief overview but do visit our website for more details.
In these sessions we look at your issue and how it is affecting your ability to live a satisfying and enjoyable life. The sessions are conducted by using both Hypnotherapy and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and are sometimes supported by using Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT or ‘Tapping’ as it is often called). Light Hypnotherapy is used as you will need to communicate with the therapist, which means you are totally aware of your surroundings and your actions at all times.
