Balancing Birth, Babies & Hormones.

Balancing Birth - By gaining control over your pregnancy and birthing journey, feeling empowered, calm, and part of the decision process, not only positively impacts those early weeks and months of being a parent, but also helps you and those close to you, manage and understand the intricacies and complexities when having a baby. Perhaps your previous birth or pregnancy experience was not the greatest and you want to approach this one with an element of control? Or maybe having a fear of the birth itself is all consuming? Having spent over 20 years working as a midwife in the NHS, and now as a full-time therapist, I will help you to navigate for a smoother and calmer journey. Working together, we can plan a bespoke experience to help you prepare for what is one of the most important times in life.

Balancing Babies - Having a baby is a precious time. Sadly, support for women during this time can be thin on the ground. Women, either as new mums or well seasoned mums, can be let down by our societal systems which can then undermine this all important time of life for both mum and baby. Using both hypnotherapy and massage helps to manage the physical and emotional post-birth stress. It reduces the risk of postnatal depression, and combats any tiredness or loneliness. It helps with any disrupted sleep, lack of rational thought, and brings a sense of calm and confidence. I will help you to bring these all together so you and your family can focus on the good. Sessions can be done both as 1-2-1 and also as group work.

Balancing Hormones - Hormones can wreak havoc when there is an imbalance. Here at Well Balanced Therapies, using both hypnotherapy and therapeutic massage will help by reducing pain and anxiety, resolve sleep issues, and provide hormonal re-balancing. This will re-empower your confidence. Fertility issues, painful or irregular periods, postnatal issues, perimenopausal and menopausal problems all can be extremely challenging. The main focus is working with the endocrine system, which is responsible for almost every organ, cell and function in our bodies. It's about regulating our moods, growth, metabolism and the reproduction system which underlies our female prowess. We can reconnect with our physical and emotional selves, bringing our minds and bodies into alignment, as well as relief and peace to our lives. By making an holistic assessment we can decide upon a bespoke therapy blend of what is right for you.

  • Using both modalities of massage and hypnotherapy can be transformative. The use of massage as a tool for relaxing the nervous system, using abdominal massage to help with the digestive aspect and also balancing our hormones. This provides the space to fully relax, while bringing energy and calm to our minds and bodies.
  • Hypnotherapy brings us ease and comfort by focusing on the things that are important to you and provides perspective to life’s knocks. Our brains have the amazing ability to clear what needs clearing in the order required to get the best outcome. Putting the trust and faith back in to our minds and bodies again.

Fear of flying & Anxieties: After having a difficult year I decided to try hypnotherapy with Penny and it was the best choice I have made for myself! I'm now able to live more in the moment and have a better understanding of how to cope with or even eliminate my anxieties. I also had 2 sessions dedicated to helping to reduce my phobia of flying which helped me tremendously as I was able to get on a plane again without feeling terrified! Pen is always very positive and relaxed during our sessions and always makes me feel comfortable.

Anxiety/Stress: I went to see Penny as I felt stuck, struggling to cope & unable to move on in life. I had 12 sessions.  I had never really done hypnosis before & really struggled to focus on the words as my mind raced everywhere. Penny reassured me it would still work - which it did. It took a couple of weeks to kick in but I really appreciated the time taken to focus on the issues & Penny's positive attitude really filtered through. Slowly my positivity increased, the overthinking eased off & my sleep improved. This allowed me to problem-solve & plan more changes to make. It was like moving a large rock - once we got it moving progress started to happen & towards the last few sessions things started to speed up. I would recommend Penny to anyone who feels overwhelmed or near a crisis point.

Pain: I had 12 hypnotherapy sessions with Penny. The hypnosis was relaxing & reviving and seemed to link with my subconscious & bring me back to positive feelings. I still use the audio which acts as a kick-start if doubts start seeping in. I also found Penny's voice calming & reassuring. I have no reservations in recommending Penny. I liked her honesty in what the therapy could offer. I have been very happy with the outcome of the hypnotherapy.

Stop Smoking: Both myself and my husband decided it was time to stop smoking. My husband had smoked 20+ a day for 35 years and I had also smoked on and off for years. We can both honestly say we have never felt better thanks to Penny, she made us feel comfortable and was very reassuring, after just one appointment we were smoke-free.  We are now looking forward to extra holidays with the money we have saved and also stress free knowing we can travel and not worry about going without a cigarette.

Stress Buster/Body Image: Pen has helped me massively increase my resilience to stress. Tasks which seemed ongoing and impossible became doable. While work may still be stressful, the speed with which I bounce back is great and has allowed me to put in boundaries, both personal and professional. It has increased my self-confidence and assertiveness and has improved my sleep patterns so much. Penny has also taken me through several weight-loss sessions from which I am feeling the benefits and feel now that I am in the right place to start an exercise regimen and take control of my fitness.

Sleep Issues: I was slightly sceptical over hypnotherapy, probably because I was frightened of being made to do something I didn't want to. But my sleeping was all over the place and I'm a constant worrier, so thought I'd give it a go - I am so pleased with how relaxed I felt and how my sleeping has improved. I feel much calmer now and can rationalise things better than before. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone with for a variety of problems or habits, and Pen's voice is greatly comforting when I listen to the recording when going to sleep. I know I can come for a top-up whenever I need to.

Public Speaking: I wanted to try hypnotherapy in order to deal with the anxiety I experience before speaking in public. My sessions with Pen have helped me reduce this in such a short amount of time it is really unbelievable how effective they’ve been. I now feel calm and focused and those waves of panic that tripped me up before talking in public have entirely gone away. I can’t stress enough how effective these sessions with Pen have been. She is calm and an intuitive listener who instantly puts you at ease. I wouldn’t think twice about recommending her sessions to anyone.

I would highly recommend Penny for helping and supporting anyone suffering with anxiety. My son Louie was suffering from panic attacks and it was heartbreaking watching him missing out on having fun with his friends because of a general fear something was going to happen. Penny was recommended to us by a friend who’s daughter was suffering from anxiety and was attending sessions with Penny to tackle this and couldn’t talk highly enough of her. So we thought it must be worth a try. Louie started having sessions with Penny and the difference was amazing, he started being more confident and less panicky and slowly started getting back to his usual happy go lucky self, which was a joy to see. I’m sure anyone who has a child, family member or friend that suffers from this realises how stressful this situation can be on a day to day basis. So get in touch with Penny, it could change your life.

From Katie's mum: "Pen, thinking just how bad she was and how far she has come! I have no doubt in my mind that if anyone else’s child is suffering then you are the person to help! We are so thankful".

Hypnotherapy.... The final piece of the puzzle that completed and transformed my life. Amazing!

I had hypnotherapy to help me with my anxiety and depression and honestly, it changed my life for the better. I was in a place where I thought there was no escape from these feelings. However, hypnotherapy turned things around for me greatly. My OCD has also died down massively and it has also helped me through the very rough time at school. I'm extremely grateful for Pen's clear and kind understanding and I strongly recommend this to anyone who is having these similar feelings as well, as it will change your life for the better.
