Client Journeys & Transformations

L, a woman in her seventies, had lived for decades with an overwhelming fear of being late. It was so strong that she would set out up to an hour early for a journey that took only minutes, just to avoid the rising panic. We traced this pattern back to a childhood memory,  an experience that still carried an emotional weight of nine out of ten.

Through a combination of Event, Somatic and Outcome Havening, we first eased the emotional charge around that memory, then calmed the tight, anxious sensation in her chest, and finally helped her reframe the old story into one of calm and capability. The long-standing pattern disappeared entirely. That same evening, L went to meet someone feeling relaxed and steady, her distress now at zero – no longer ruled by the clock.

A lifelong fear of being a passenger in a car, particularly with male drivers, had left L feeling anxious and helpless. This phobic response, which she rated a 9 out of 10, was rooted in frightening teenage driving journeys with her father. We re-patterned this trauma safely revisited the original memories, allowing her to neutralise the old fear and create a new, empowered feeling of safety. The phobic response cleared completely. L described her body feeling “soft and open” and left with a newfound lightness. A week later, she reported feeling relaxed and calm during a car journey that would have previously been terrifying.

E came to me experiencing a wave of panic every time she received an email from a senior colleague or an unfamiliar sender – a fear that would begin even before she opened the message. This anxious reaction was traced back to a formative memory of being intimidated by a “tyrant” boss as a teenager. We gently worked to neutralise the emotional charge of this old memory and release the underlying feeling of aggression she had been carrying. By the end of the session, her distress had significantly reduced from a 7 to a 3. She left feeling calmer and more grounded, with new tools to manage her workday and a plan to continue her progress.

As a florist, my client loved her work, but high-stakes events like large weddings or public speaking would trigger intense anticipatory anxiety. She would experience nausea, disrupted sleep, and a persistent sense of dread, which she rated a 10 out of 10. We discovered this was linked to a childhood memory of freezing in a classroom, terrified of being mocked. Using a blend of Somatic and Psycho-sensory therapy, we soothed and transformed the old memory into one of success and acceptance. D left the session feeling calm and confident, her distress at 0, and anchored in a new feeling of pride and accomplishment.

M came to the session burdened by overwhelming guilt and self-blame, feeling like the “worst mother in the world”. Her distress was an 8 out of 10. We worked on a couple of memories to gently release the charge. This allowed her to shift from feeling guilty and annoyed to feeling neutral and undisturbed by her ex-partners words, bringing her distress score down to 0/10 and restoring her sense of inner calm and peace.

M was experiencing intense panic attacks during breathwork sessions, complete with intrusive thoughts of “I’m dying.” This powerful fear was traced back to a terrifying and vivid memory from her teenage years, when she had  a surgery. Her distress around this event was a 7 out of 10. Through Event, Soma, and Affirmational Havening, we re-patterned the traumatic memory itself. We then worked to transform some unhelpful thoughts that were on a loop  into a felt sense of safety and connection, bringing her distress to 0. M left the session grounded, expressing a lightness and clarity not present before.

My client found that her parenting triggers – moments of feeling ignored and helpless – were rooted in a traumatic memory of being abandoned at sea during a holiday. The emotional charge from this event was an intense 9 out of 10. Using trauma repatterning techniques, we worked to neutralise the emotional charge around this memory, making it neutral. We then worked to rewrite the narrative, creating a new story where she was heard and respected. The shift was profound, leaving her feeling calmer, more powerful, and emotionally settled, with her distress at 0.

An inability to assert her boundaries and a pattern of people-pleasing had troubled A for years. We discovered this was linked to a sexual assault when she was 15 which she gave a distress score of 9 out of 10 . Through gentle trauma repatterning and somatic work, we soothed the tightness in her chest and neutralised the emotional charge of the memory. This process helped to build a new belief system centred on safety and freedom, allowing her to find relief and begin the journey of reclaiming her voice.

My client came to a session carrying high distress from a childhood sexual incident with her brother. However, the most significant pain, which she rated an 8 out of 10, came from a moment of parental inaction – a memory of her mother overhearing and doing nothing to protect her. Through a powerful session combining trauma repatterning, belief change and somatic healing, we addressed both the incident and the deeper wound of neglect. She was able to rewrite the memory to one where she was believed and protected, allowing her to release long-suppressed emotions and find a profound sense of safety and personal power, bringing her distress to 0.

A lifelong struggle with voicing his own needs and desires led a client back to a painful memory from primary school, where he was relentlessly teased for his NHS glasses. The embarrassment was still palpable, creating a block that prevented him from speaking up as an adult. Through this gentle process, we were able to disconnect the emotional charge from these old memories. He learned to feel confident in his own skin, and the grip of that childhood shame finally loosened. He left the session feeling that the past had lost its power, ready to express himself with a newfound ease. He reported a completely different reaction when looking at a photograph of himself – moving from embrassment to compassion. 

A man’s tendency to people-please and always putting others’ needs before his own was a source of constant frustration. We discovered this wasn’t his personality, but a survival strategy hardwired during his time at a violent and unsafe school expereince, where staying invisible was the only way to stay safe. By addressing the root of this pattern, we were able to release the old, automatic response. He learned to differentiate between the dangers of the past and the safety of the present, leaving him feeling strong, self-respecting, and able to choose how to respond, rather than being driven by an old fear.

K’s fear of being visible in her business – of public speaking and managing technology – was holding her back. We traced this powerful anxiety back to a single moment of humiliation in a Year 8 maths lesson, where she was laughed at by the entire class. The memory still carried a trembling in her lip and a “woolly” feeling in her head. We worked to gently detangle the old event from her present-day reality, releasing the physical sensations and the emotional weight of embarrassment. She left feeling calm and optimistic, with the heaviness in her chest completely gone and a new, clear path to move forward in her professional life.

C’s deepest wound was not the abuse she endured from her brother, but the moment she understood that her mother had overheard and chose not to act.

That silence cut the deepest, leaving her feeling invisible and unsafe. Her healing work centred on this moment. Through guided imagery, she created a new outcome in which she was heard, protected, and believed.  This shift allowed her to release decades of buried grief and anger, replacing them with a long-missing feeling of safety and completeness.

A carried long-standing feelings of fear, loneliness, and rejection rooted in a childhood with an emotionally unpredictable mother. A core memory left her with a tight, foggy sensation in her chest, a distress she rated 7 out of 10. We first used somatic healing techniques to soothe this physical sensation. Then, through a powerful process of rewriting the past, she imagined a new scene where her mother lovingly supported her. This trauma repatterning brought a profound sense of lightness and emotional neutrality, bringing her distress to 0 and instilling a new, deeply felt sense of being loved, accepted, and protected. She later reported the next time she saw her mother she felt  calm and relaxed, which was the opposite of her previous expereinces.

A family weekend triggered familiar childhood feelings of being a “burden” for C. We wroked together to uncover the root –   a memory from age nine, when she witnessed her older sister’s eating disorder and felt she had to become quiet and invisible to not add to the family stress.  We re-petterned this memory through somatic healing and psychosensory techniques, we worked to soften and move this sensation. This cleared the path for belief change work, where she could connect with the truth that her needs matter. She left feeling visibly lighter, grounded in the new knowledge that “it’s safe to speak up.”

This client came to a session to work on a childhood trauma involving a sibling, but we soon discovered that the deepest pain came from a moment of parental inaction – a memory of her mother overhearing and doing nothing to protect her. This wound of neglect carried an intense emotional charge of 8 out of 10. Through a powerful session combining trauma repatterning and somatic healing, we addressed both the incident and this deeper wound. She was able to rewrite the memory to one where she was believed and protected, allowing her to release long-suppressed emotions and find a profound sense of safety and personal power, bringing her distress to 0.

J’s pattern of people-pleasing and conflict avoidance became clear when a minor request from his daughter left him feeling resentful and confused. We traced this reaction back to his childhood, where avoiding conflict in a violent and unsafe school environment was a necessary survival strategy. We first released the tension he held in his body. Then, through gentle belief change work, he was able to see this pattern not as a flaw, but as an old protective mechanism he no longer needed. He left feeling strong, self-respecting, and clear, with the tools to respond assertively and without guilt. He has reported his long term back pain has resolved since the session. 

P held a painful childhood memory of wanting to audition for a musical, only to be told by her parents that she wasn’t “good enough.” This moment of discouragement created a lifelong fear of moving forward and a strong sensation of tightness around her heart, which she rated an 8 out of 10. We worked on this childhood event to neutralise the charge and then  transformed her physical sensation from one of fear into one of love and expansion. This opened the door for her to rewrite the old memory, creating a new narrative where her parents were encouraging and supportive, allowing her to finally feel safe to shine and move formward in her business.

One client, who found it hard to voice his needs, traced this back to the shame of being bullied in primary school. The fear of being mocked had shaped a lifelong habit of staying silent to avoid ridicule. In a gentle session, we eased the emotional charge from those old memories. The hold of that childhood shame loosened, and he left feeling lighter – as if the past had finally let go – ready to speak up and ask for what he needs with a well-earned sense of confidence. He has since found the confidence to advocate for his needs.

My client was often dismissed or not trusted to do things in childhood which had a knock-on effect in her adult life around her confidence to do things. Together we worked with that early hurt, working on past events, aswell as changing her inner dialogue with her younger self. Something shifted. She left feeling calm, capable, and ready to carry all parts of her life with self-belief.

A client under heavy strain from both work and family pressures described feeling a “spiky, hard, plastic” sensation in her stomach. This discomfort was constant – a knot of tension she could never shake. Through a guided visualisation, we invited the sensation to change, becoming softer, lighter, and more fluid. As her inner image transformed, so did the feeling in her body. The knot dissolved completely, and she wept with relief.

A client who carried deep shame about her appearance – and the fear of being judged – felt it in her body as a tight, pulsing, “sandpaper-like” cylinder across her neck and upper back. It was a constant, uncomfortable armour she wore each day. In our work together, we invited the sensation to soften, lengthen, and eventually release. As her shoulders loosened and the grip eased, a wave of relief washed over her. The change in her body let her stand taller, both in posture and in spirit, feeling calmer and more at ease in her own skin.
