Mind Coaching Benefits

Discover and Utilise Inner Resources
Learn to tap into your inherent capabilities to interrupt self-sabotaging patterns, enhancing your ability to manage your nervous system with practical, immediate tools.
Master Emotional Regulation
Gain insights and techniques to change your emotional state instantly, reducing stress and anxiety, which helps in fostering better mental health and emotional resilience.
Boost Self-Confidence and Esteem
Develop a positive growth mindset that not only improves self-worth but also cultivates self-leadership, enabling better decision-making in personal and professional life.
Enhance Physical Health
Understand the gut-brain connection and adopt sleep protocols that can reduce fatigue, lower blood pressure, decrease inflammation, and potentially aid in weight management or loss.
Improve Sleep Quality
Implement an optimal sleep protocol to ensure restorative sleep, which is foundational for mental clarity, emotional balance, and physical health.
Physical Pain Reduction
Learn strategies that might help in reducing or eliminating physical pain, potentially decreasing the need for medications and improving overall quality of life.
Build Stronger Relationships
By improving self-regulation and co-regulation, enhance your interactions and relationships both personally and professionally, fostering deeper connections and understanding.
Financial and Health Savings
By reducing reliance on expensive coping mechanisms or medications through natural, inner resource management, save money while simultaneously investing in long-term health and self-improvement.

Body: Physical Fitness & Well-being

Personal Training for Optimal Physical Fitness, Body Confidence & Mental Health

Tailored to the individual needs of women, personal training promotes fitness, strength, and body confidence before, during, and after menopause. Learn how to master your body for optimal health, fitness, strength, and flexibility, so you get a head start on body confidence before, during, and beyond your transition.

How can I help?

Structured sessions maximize results while keeping you safe from injury. Accountability and motivation are key to minimizing menopause symptoms and supporting long-term independence and body confidence.

Body Coaching Benefits

Physical and Emotional Well-being
Experience an improved mood, deeper restorative sleep, and a reduction in hot flashes, aches, pains, and fibromyalgia symptoms, leading to an energised, pain-free lifestyle that oozes body confidence.
Optimal Health Maintenance

Engage in practices that increase metabolism, improve gut microbiome diversity, and enhance bone density, muscle strength, endurance, and cardiovascular health. This not only helps in managing weight but also reduces risks associated with cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimer’s, dementia, and type II diabetes.

Aesthetic and Functional Fitness
By focusing on increased fitness, improved balance, flexibility, posture, and core correction, you’ll look fabulous and enjoy functional health benefits, allowing for clothes choice freedom and the physical ability to remain active into old age.
Nutritional Intelligence
Become nutritionally smart, understanding how to fuel your body for health, which can lead to a healthier, fitter future, potentially reversing conditions like diabetes or reducing the need for medications.
Financial and Health Freedom
By reducing or eliminating medications and replacing expensive self-soothing behaviors with healthier alternatives, save money. This not only frees up funds for activities you love but also promotes a lifestyle that supports independence well into your 30s post-menopause.
Reduced Dependency on Medical Interventions
Lower your blood pressure, increase/maintain bone density, and tackle conditions like fibromyalgia naturally, reducing the dependency on medical interventions and fostering a life less restricted by health issues.
Empowered Aging
With increased fitness, muscle endurance, and balance, along with reduced risk of various health issues, you’re set up for a future where you can maintain independence, vitality, and the ability to engage in life’s activities.
Lifestyle Transformation
This holistic approach not only addresses physical health but also enhances emotional and financial aspects of life, allowing you to invest in your passions and enjoy life fully, feeling confident and energised in your own skin.

Hypnotherapy: A deeply relaxing yet focused experience enabling profound change at a core level.

The foundation for resolving what’s stopping you achieving your goals, be it overcoming anxiety, gaining confidence, weight loss, ceasing self-sabotage, eliminating fears, procrastination, limiting beliefs or releasing the emotional charge of traumatic events; subconscious blocks that stop you from being who you really are and stop you from realising those buried dreams and aspirations, stop you becoming your best self.
How can I help?

I am trained and experienced using a variety of hypnotherapy/therapeutic techniques which will enable you to overcome mental blocks and emotional obstacles that may be holding you back in life.

Hypnotherapy Benefits

Deep Transformation and Healing
Hypnotherapy offers a deeply relaxing yet focused experience that goes beyond surface-level issues. It targets the root causes at a core level, allowing you to resolve deep-seated anxieties, traumas, and self-sabotaging behaviors. This foundational change is essential for overcoming barriers that prevent you from achieving your goals and living your best life.
Unlocking Your True Potential
By using hypnotherapy, you can dismantle subconscious blocks such as limiting beliefs, procrastination, or fears. This process not only aids in weight loss, confidence building, or cessation of bad habits but also helps in releasing the emotional charge from past events. It’s about unearthing and unshackling those aspects of yourself that have been hidden, enabling you to shine as your true, unencumbered self.
Sustainable Change and Personal Growth
Unlike temporary fixes, hypnotherapy fosters lasting change. By addressing and releasing hidden fears and blocks, it ensures that the insights and actions derived from mindset and life skills coaching are deeply ingrained. This results in transformations that are not fleeting but are woven into the fabric of your existence, supporting a lifelong journey of growth and fulfilment.
Tailored Therapeutic Approach
With training and experience in various hypnotherapy techniques, I am equipped to tailor sessions to your unique needs. Whether it’s overcoming specific phobias, enhancing self-confidence, or addressing complex emotional obstacles, hypnotherapy provides a personalised path to overcome mental blocks and emotional hurdles, propelling you towards realising your dreams and aspirations.

Nora’s knowledge is outstanding, her teaching and nurturing makes positive change a great journey! 7 Years ago I was in a very dark place; I started working with Nora and it was the start of living my life again! This lady has saved my life and I can't express the help she has given me. Nora instinctively knows how to draw things out so they are addressed and she coaches on how to find the solutions yourself. Within weeks I achieved my dream and started my own business working with animals! I still am today! I realised life wasn’t so bad and I had a lot to live for! My mood, outlook and weight all changed for the better, everyone was noticing! Nora has helped me in so many ways and continues to do so! Please, please, let this lady help you too, I guarantee you will never regret meeting her!
