About Me
Hi and Welcome to Well Balanced Therapies. I'm Pen, and I'm here to help you get your power back!
As you may have read already, I was a midwife for many years and a short stint as a health visitor, but the last few years specialising in mental health as a specialist perinatal mental health midwife. I have 2 children (ongoing role!) and battled with postnatal depression myself which if left unrecognised or hidden, can last for many years and too witnessed the highs and lows of our health system both as giver and receiver.
Drawing on all the above using an holistic approach, I will help you to re-empower your self-belief, self-confidence and the understanding in our own unique abilities. I use my knowledge and experience through hypnotherapy and massage, to work with you to bring mind and body into balance. So whether you are looking for support in early motherhood or during menopause, I understand the importance that self-belief and confidence in your capabilities and capacities is key in managing your way through the any journey. Either working in groups or 1-2-1, I will help you to access your capabilities, re-build your confidence and empower your own abilities during these life changing times. This is where my passion lies.
How does all this hypnosis and massage stuff work? Working on the mind using hypnotherapy not only helps with physical symptoms like pain, but also with emotional symptoms like depression or anxiety. The mind and body should be treated as one - a healthy mind = a healthy body. Massage helps in so many ways. It provides the physical connection to your whole self. It resets the nervous system, rebalances the endocrine system, helps with sleep, reduces anxiety and pain, improves immunity and gut health, all in a relaxing and settling way.
In using both these modalities we have a unique and dual tool which alleviates both emotional and physical stress, while providing an overall sense of balance and equilibrium. This combination is invaluable in bringing about a true sense of calmness making all aspects of life easier to navigate.
