The four legs of NLP

Today most books about personal development will include some NLP techniques, although they may not be labelled as such.

One of the most profound ideas of NLP is that of "modelling" i.e if one person can do something, then it should be a possible to find out what they are doing and how, and replicate it.

The four legs of NLP or the principles of NLP as they are something known, help us to achieve this modelling process. The fundamentals of NLP are as follows.


Outcome - Know what you want.

NLP simply explained

NLP is underpinned by a number of presuppositions some of which are:

• Choice is better than no choice
• If you always do what you've done you always get what you've always got
• If what you are doing isn't working, do something else
• There is no failure, only feedback
• The meaning of your communications is the response you get
• People already have the resources that they need.

Having read these presuppositions yourself if one or two of them strike a chord, or you hear yourself saying "that sounds like me" or you see yourself acting in a certain way.

What is NLP

It is generally known that NLP can help people deal with a wide range of emotional problems e.g stress, anxiety, fears and phobias etc. However do you know that NLP can also enable you to:

• Communicate more effectively
• Set well formed outcomes or goals.
• Have the internal resources to enable you to achieve your outcomes/goals

What is Tuina - Chinese Massage

Tuina is the practice of massage techniques which make up the practical strand of traditional Chinese medicine. Massage techniques stimulate acupuncture points in different parts of the body, which help correct imbalances of the yin and yang energies in the body.

Traditional Chinese medicine  looks at the patient as a whole person and treats the cause of the illness or condition, not just the symptoms. It believes that it is not possible to separate the physical and a pathological condition. Chinese medicine aims to understand what is causing or creating an obstacle in the flow if energy in the body, and Tuina Chinese massage works on re-establishing the balance and harmony of those energies thus returning the patient to a state of wellbeing.

EFT explained

Based on the ancient principles of acupuncture EFT is a simple tapping procedure that gently realigns the body's energy system without the discomfort of needles.

EFT was introduced in 1995 by Stanford Engineering graduate Gary Craig who has been interested in personal improvement and psychology since the age of thirteen.

Unlike other energy healing methods, EFT incorporates an emotional element to the healing process, addressing unresolved emotional issues as a likely cause of physical disease, psychological dysfunction and personal performance limits.

What is EFT

EFT is a new discovery, based on the ancient principles of acupuncture, that has provided thousands with relief from pain, disease and emotional issues. Without the use of needles, it is a simple procedure that stimulates well-established meridian points on your body by tapping them with your fingertips.

What is Thai Massage

This form of massage is based on Yoga positions for both the giver and receiver. It is slightly different from a "tradtional" or Swedish Body Massage in that it takes the muscle off the bone, rather than compressing the muscle against the bone. It has been called "Yoga for the Lazy".

The meridians of the body are followed using a rhythmic pressure to release any blockage. Starting at the feet and working up towards the head. The muscle is then moved away from the bone and the joints manipulated to allow the energy or Chi to move freely through joints and meridians.

Essential oils

Essential Oils are distilled from seeds, flowers,stems and leaves of many different plants and they have different therapeutic properties. A blend is individually made for each client at every session.

The oils reach the body in two main pathways. Through the nasal passages as an odour, they pass through the olfactory bulb and then into the Limbic system, the root of emotions and the circulation. They are one of very few substances that can penetrate the blood brain barrier.

Reflexology in Pregnancy and Labour

Reflexology can also be used in pre-conception care, pregnancy care and priming labour. It is effective in helping reduce the nausea in pregnancy, backache and oedema. It is also one of the top three complementary therapies recommended for use during pregnancy and pain-relief during labour.

Used during labour figures show that the birth time can be reduced and the mother recovers more quickly after birth by using Reflexology as an aid.

A full pre-treatment consultation will be taken before any Reflexology is given for all clents. A copy of these records is available for you to take away and include with your birth notes and share with your midwife and doctor.
