About Barbara

I bimble and roll about in the left-brain logical, medically inclined camp and the right-brain creative, esoterica field. This means I am equally happy discussing neuroplasticity with a doctor as talking about soul retrieval with a shaman. Or, talking about Fortune 500 business strategies while writing a rhyming spell. 

However, for you; as a client or at a workshop or retreat, it means anything goes ~ free from shackles or judgement. 

We make our own magic but sometimes lose our way or fall under spells that do not work in our favour. It is not my job or desire to fix, repair, change or impose but to guide you in a co-creative way to your life of bliss.

I was injured in a workplace accident many moons ago and, after a surgeon pushed a surgical screw into my l5 nerve root, I was left with footdrop, chronic secondary pain + neuropathy and am an ambulatory wheelchair as a result. Rather than let it define me, I rolled with it (ha).

My hypnotherapy practice expanded to specialise in pain management and stress reduction. I share techniques that I use every day.

After becoming disabled, I faced life’s challenges head-on (eventually, after sulking, flouncing and doing the self-ableism work)(still working on the self-ableism, that is not pretty), using my experiences to deepen my understanding of healing and well-being. 

What a pain

I use the techniques I teach and share in my own life, every day. When I say a meditation helps with pain, I mean it helps with my pain.

My approach

Complementary, holistic and combinations therapies are often referred to as Integrated Therapy or Integrated Healthcare and this is how I work.

We make our own magic but sometimes lose our way or fall under spells that do not work in our favour. It is not my job or desire to fix, repair, change or impose but to guide you towards your life of bliss and success.

What I create

I use my knowledge to create products and lessons that support others in managing stress, pain reduction and life-balance. Whether through guided meditations, Reiki-infused music or Mind Loops, my mission is to make well-being accessible to everyone. My approach combines practical techniques with a holistic perspective, ensuring every resource nurtures the mind, body and spirit.

All of my products are designed to be used at home, in your own time, at your own pace.

Always dance to the rhythm of you own drum 💃 🧑‍🦼‍➡️

Speaking and events

I am available for talks on hypnosis, pain management, stress management, meditation, creating your best life, writing to publish and as a therapy plus all related subjects.

My way of working is experiential rather than passive lecturing, although I can talk the hind legs off a donkey. Well, I would if I knew what that meant.

I am happy to work remotely or in the real world. We can chat about accessibility beforehand. Travelling and accommodation costs will include a plus one.
