Feel better!

BreathTrance is a highly potent blend of two ancient modalities, both research-based and proven over time to allow transformative access to the subconscious mind. Hypnotherapy and Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB) combine to effectively and easily bring your awareness out of your monkey mind and deep into the body, gently activating and releasing stuck patterns, emotions and habits to make lasting change. And it’s also very enjoyable and relaxing too!

SFH is an up to date, research-based and effective way of helping people to feel better about themselves and their lives. It uses a perfectly normal everyday state called ‘trance’ in a deeply relaxing and enjoyable way to create space and clarity, so that you can release more easily into CCB practice under my careful guidance  identifying solutions that are right for you and which will help create lasting change. 

Did you think your conscious thinking mind was making the decisions in your life? In fact, it’s the subconscious mind which makes up 95% of our cognitive function, and it is this unfelt and unheard part of our nervous system which pulls the strings. Until we access this part, we actually have very little say in how we respond and react to life’s experiences. In order to feel better and break free from unhelpful repetitive patterns, emotions and thoughts, we need to work with the subconscious mind on a deep and skilful level to release what’s been trapped there by adverse experiences. The body is the map of the subconscious and where our deepest imprints and patterns are stored. To make lasting positive change in our lives, we need first to access and release these. We do this through CCB, which reaches the body at a deep and powerful level just using the breath. Emotions are the language of the mind, and sensations are the language of the body, so it is essential to work skilfully with both emotion and sensation to effect lasting, positive change. 

CCB is one of the most powerful breathwork methods out there. It accesses aspects of trauma, conditioning and imprinting that talking and thinking cannot reach. Research has shown that this repetitive, connected and conscious breath, when practised with an accredited facilitator, can evoke experiences similar to those experienced with psychedelics, allowing spaciousness, processing and healing of unwanted habits, thought processes, behaviours and perceptions. It promotes feelings of connectedness, insightfulness, deep peace, positive depersonalisation and clarity within a safe and controlled container. CCB can change your biochemistry, reduce activity in the prefrontal cortex and allow transformative access to deeper parts of the brain and body, where we store past memories; where we can access past versions of ourselves; and where we can fully process and integrate the negative experiences and emotions which have held us back and influenced our day-to-day lives for decades. 

BreathTrance uses the natural powers of breath and active imagination to move your system into activation and back out again in gentle and enjoyable increments. This trains the nervous system to learn how to move from stress to relaxation and back again so that we can deal with the demands of life without getting flooded or overwhelmed. Like any muscle, the nervous system improves at moving between states with practice, and you’ll receive hypnotherapy tracks and breathwork exercises to continue this training outside of the session. 

As an experienced hypnotherapist, I have found that we can only go so far into the mind before old programming, imprinting and false beliefs get in the way and stop us making lasting change. Often, we feel better for a short time after talk therapy, but the old patterns soon return because their roots are deep in the body – our tissues hold our issues, and our bodies keep the score. The ideal technique for releasing stuck emotions, making lasting change and regaining our natural energy is one which incorporates both mind and body in an active way, and one where the client is in total control. SFH engages the deeper parts of the mind in advance of the session and during the initial discussion, and CCB practice moves this awareness deep into the body, with my careful guidance accessing and physically releasing the subconscious imprints that have been driving us in unhelpful directions all our lives, without our even being aware of them. 

Rather than teaching you coping skills or breathing exercises for existing conditions, BreathTrance helps dissolve the original deep imprints that created these conditions in the first place, and all we have to do is breathe!

You are always conscious, always in control. Your breath and your body lead, and you can heighten or reduce the experience at any time. You are held in a safe container, and we take everything at a slow and enjoyable pace, and everything is clearly explained in advance.  

In a word, YES! You get to be in your own home with no travelling, and I build a safe and supportive container onscreen.
