Restoring a little balance
Let’s turn the page together
Start a new journey, watch a sunset?
It’s been three weeks now with me teaching online classes and 1-1 hypnotherapy and coaching sessions and I weirdly feel more connected to you all during these live video classes, maybe it’s the sweet ness of me being in your homes and seeing you in your self made nests just makes me all wiggly with delight and softness for you all. Normally I run about lighting candles, picking up fluff off the floor, making sure plants look healthy and alive and generally making your therapy space as safe, beautiful and inviting as I can.
Instead I find myself able to use that energy in the creative process of making your time with me extra extra special, like righting poems to read or exploring some new ways to teach you or share with you and I am delighting in the time to really only focus on you during your session.
On an average week I see approx 50 clients and teach 5 yoga classes/sessions and naturally that has reduced being that I do not work from the usual clinic venue at the moment. This initially left me feeling lost and spinning on the spot for which way to turn and what to focus my energy on…. Do I just pause and let time pass….Do I immediately build a weekly online schedule to offer clients? Do I promote my online courses, record more downloads or apply to help out the NHS?
I noticed a panic rising so I spent 5 long days and nights getting myself into a right tizz and creating and building and thinking and promoting and researching and learning to the point that at night I would often get into bed gone 2am and lay they pulsing and shaking with over stimulation and worry and then bang.. a migraine showed up and stopped me in my tracks and the following 3 days I was out, couldn’t look at light, couldn’t walk, look at a screen, talk on the phone, exercise or eat without nausea. So I went to bed…..Slept, was still……….and finally…… let go of control.
It was in the tenderness of recovering from the worst migraine I had ever experienced that things started flowing… naturally….without effort….
You may or may not feel this way after a migraine but for me my brain feels bruised and it can take me a good week to recover fully from a migraine so I had no choice but to slowly slowly achieve things at a different pace.
When I was finally able to resume the busy task of living and running a business I noticed that my online bookings had tripled and more and more requests and bookings came flooding in over the following days. This I feel was a lesson in trust, learning to be in the creative flow and not pushing everything all the time….
In the past and certainly in my 20’s I was into it all, I had my own youtube channel, Radio interviews, paper stories, as well as thousands of students internationally that I would teach and share with.
BUT
NOW in the sweet maturity of owning a business since I was 21 wow 20 years, I enjoy the ebb and flow of life much more, I am able to decide how I would like to be of service to the world and the offer it out and from this energy never once has it failed to fuel my life. Our time online together really feels intimate, profound and like I really am able to serve you all, knowing that you’ve not got to dash out or drive here there and everywhere after session you know. I am able to let the clock pause and give more when you need it. Especially when it comes to trauma/grief coaching or hypnotherapy sessions, its important to take the time to let things be explored organically and stay still within the healing process naturally and of course spend a little more time closing the tender parts before leaving session and for me as a therapist this has been one of the biggest gifts of the online sessions that we have been forced to implement during these times.
That’s why I want you to know that I will be keeping the online appointments and events going even after we’re aloud out and about again. I will also be working from the excellent clinics I currently am but will now double the amount of online appointments available from TODAY! Yay.
So reach out, connect, ask questions, send ideas…
as always I am here to serve, assist and be art of the growing and healing process
