Who am I to tell you how to recover and remain healthy? Since 1999 I have specialised in helping people to optimise their health. I appreciate that there are lots of people out there who will claim to have the answer to your health condition. The reason that this information is different is simply because what I'm covering here isn't just a theory, but a road tested, common sense system that works time after time. Over the years of providing therapy and health coaching to my clients, I noticed that there were a group of people, who, no matter what they tried, remained stuck within their health condition. It was obvious that this group needed a more thorough approach. The stress response plays a major part in these conditions You have probably already realised that there is a connection between your stress levels and the amount of symptoms that you are experiencing at any given time. Lots of my clients have said that they can literally feel that "adrenalin feeling" - but don't know how to turn it off. All of the latest ME/CFS research confirms a sustained stress response is common among sufferers. This chronic level of stress impacts on all bodily systems - the body has become almost stuck in the fight-or-flight response. All M.E., Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia symptoms are due to the disruption caused by the stress response. This means It's pointless focusing on individual symptoms, instead we need to address the underlying cause. I have found that the best approach to reducing the stress response is through combining a number of techniques and using them together in a structured way. You are then able to collapse the destructive cycle of M.E., Chronic Fatigue or Fibromyalgia and encourage the system into a healthy balanced state. What to expect as a result of this programme To those who are prepared to put in the necessary short-term work, the results can be quite remarkable. People who've been stuck, often for many years, within a chronic health condition consistently report a whole range of benefits. This isn't just about getting well. These changes impact on all areas of your life. The following list of benefits is based upon the feedback that I get from those who have already taken part. What would it mean to you if you could:
Learn to activate your own healing ability I have brought together the best approaches to self healing into one comprehensive programme. You will discover exactly what holds your health condition in place and how to make changes in certain key areas to activate your own healing ability. The fundamental difference here, is that through the programme, you learn the tools and techniques needed to balance your own system and resolve your condition. You won't need to rely on any external treatment, therapy or drug in the future, and these lessons remain with you for life - so your future is then in your own hands! The people who benefit most from this approach I'm passionate about my work and get great satisfaction from seeing people turn their health and lives around. However, It's not for everyone, it takes commitment and consistency. Those who benefit most are at a point where they are ready to make changes, willing to take on new knowledge and put it into action and are prepared for the sometimes challenging work involved. Some of my clients already have an awareness of the mind/body connection - even if they don't yet know how to use it to their advantage. Some have been able to influence their condition or level of symptoms in some way, maybe through lifestyle changes, or possibly some form of alternative therapy. The missing piece for most people I work with, is that they are unaware of the structure of the approach needed for a full recovery. That's quite understandable - how would you know where to focus on making changes, and which are the best tools and techniques to use in the process?
Lets take a look at the structure of the programme Firstly, you'll receive illustrated instructions for some symptom-reducing techniques. These are simple, non strenuous physical practices that you will use in the weeks before the three day training. These techniques are designed to reduce the stress response. This gives you an opportunity to start the process of recovery. By reducing your symptoms and increasing your available energy, you will be preparing yourself in the best possible way for the training course ahead. You will then come along to The Lightning Process training. This is delivered to small informal groups over three days, with 4 hours of training per day. There is always a relaxed, friendly and supportive atmosphere within the group. Throughout the course you will be learning and implementing techniques that encourage the body's own healing ability. You will leave the course with a number of practical tools and techniques that you can use to balance your system. Everything that you learn will form the road map that you need to follow, in order to get yourself well. In the weeks after the training, we will meet for one-to-one telephone coaching sessions. This gives you an opportunity to continue using the techniques, whilst receiving further coaching and support during the final stages of your recovery.
You can activate your own healing mechanism by making changes in certain key areasNeurology - patterns of thinking Sufferers of M.E., Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia can easily become trapped in a number of damaging unconscious responses. These patterns of thinking and behaviour consistently trigger the stress response, holding the system in a state of protection (fight-or-flight). These damaging patterns tend to form over time and therefore will not be at all obvious to the sufferer. I'm not suggesting that these conditions are "all in the mind" - they're not, they are very physical conditions affecting most bodily systems. The point is, purely physical approaches to recovery have a poor and slow outcome. However, although the patterns that we address in the Lightning Process will not have been the original cause - they certainly appear to play a major role in maintaining the the condition. This is yet another example of how the mind and body influence each other. The Lightning Process is a three day training where we uncover these patterns and then learn effective techniques to change them. Your brain has the ability to adapt and change according to experience, this is known as neural-plasticity. During the Lightning Process training you will learn to harness the mind/body connection. By consistently using the simple techniques that you have learnt, you will then be able to reestablish balance in affected bodily systems. Respiration - Breathing Many people suffering from a health condition develop poor breathing patterns. In fact, lots of people who aren't ill have poor breathing patterns too. These poor patterns of breathing might start as a symptom during illness, but soon become a contributory cause. As well as oxygenating our systems, the lungs massage the internal organs and drive the lymphatics - the waste disposal system of the body. I teach all of my clients some simple but highly effective breathing techniques. Our breathing patterns directly influence nervous system activity and immune system function. As the nervous system and the immune system are adversely affected in M.E. and Chronic Fatigue, it seems logical to use techniques that have the opposite affect. I also teach specific breathing techniques to relax the mind/body and encourage quality sleep. The Energy System You may have already found some relief from energy techniques like acupuncture. The problem is, the benefits are often temporary and it's just not practical to receive regular daily treatments - not to mention the cost along with all those needles! The good news is, you can learn to stimulate the same energy system that is used in acupuncture. But, instead of needles, the fingers are used for a gentle tapping technique. These techniques can be used regularly during the recovery process to balance the system and encourage healing. Stimulating these stress-relief points on the head and body causes positive changes in energy, body chemistry and blood flow. The results of these Meridian Tapping techniques can be felt instantly. Health practitioners the world over are adopting these techniques, due to their ease of use and effectiveness with a whole range of health conditions. I've had so many positive results using these techniques, that I include them as a standard part of the programme. The key to the programme's success is in the structure You might have heard of these techniques or even tried some of them before. The reason this approach is so successful is that all of the elements are effective in their own right. But when we combine them and use them in a structured way we are able to influence a number of body systems. The process of change then becomes easier to achieve and more stable than just about any other approach I've come accross.
Why choose me as your health coach and therapist? I know some people like to hear about qualifications - so for those who do, here they are. I am a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist, Meridian Therapist, NLP practitioner and coach. I am one of only 20 Advanced Lightning Process Practitioners. As well as these regular qualifications I also bring to my work influences from my personal study and practice of Tai chi, Yoga, healing and meditation over the past ten years. All of the techniques that I teach are designed to bring the mind and body into balance. I regularly use all of the techniques that I teach - so I have a deep understanding and experience that I share with my clients. Although I have mentioned that there is work involved, people are often surprised at how much fun they have, and how much they enjoy the training. (I regularly get asked to continue the training for an extra day!) Locations and cost of the programme I currently run the programme in London and Wales in the UK. I also provide trainings in Oslo, Bergen and Stavanger in Norway. I keep the cost the same as other Lightning Process practitioners, therefore I include the additional valuable content for no extra charge. The total cost for all that I have outlined here is £590.00 per person in the UK and NOK 15000 in Norway. A unique system for changing the way you run yourself I look at the Optimum Energy Programme as a "complete overhaul". You are going to learn a whole new level of control over your own system. You have far more influence over your own health and well-being than you ever imagined - and I'm going to show you how. By teaching you to think differently, resolve emotional issues easily, breathe more effectively and stimulate your own energy system, your whole experience of life will change. If you feel stuck right now, I believe this is the most effective route there is, to health, happiness and well-being.
