We spend the majority of our lives on automatic pilot, reacting to situations from habit and the largest cause of anxiety for most of us is not caused by outside events but by the thoughts we have about them. Our minds judge and categorise everything we experience as good, bad or indifferent. To test this pay attention to your thoughts for ten minutes as you go about your day. The endless analysing and assessing is exhausting and can make it difficult to experience peace of mind.

When we consciously slow down and check in with our bodies, our thoughts and our feelings, we open ourselves up to a wider perspective. We become an impartial witness to our thoughts and in this way they lose their power. I am available for stress reduction coaching. I teach mindfulness, visualisation, self hypnosis, cognitive behavioural and emotional freedom techniques.

Our beliefs and habitual behaviour impacts every area of our lives and when it comes to our careers we can stop ourselves from going for that promotion or expanding our businesses thinking we are making a rational decision when actually it is our fears running the show. A targeted career coaching session will allow you to explore where you want to be heading to and we can work to clear anything that is holding you back.

“In order to expand my business I need to pitch my product with confidence but I was petrified. I couldn't hold it together or understand my irrational fear of speaking in front of people. The sessions were awesome, thoroughly enjoyable. Plus, they changed my view on life totally, I feel more in control, confident and focused.” - Tom, London

I'll let you in on a secret, diets do not work for most people. This is because diets focus on what you eat and generally then go about limiting or restricting the food groups you are allowed to consume. They are missing the key which is your mind. Weight management using cognitive hypnotherapy focuses on your relationship with food but also your relationship with your body. It's not just about weight loss, it's about body confidence, self-esteem and putting you back in control rather than being controlled by your weight, habits or a diet.

Following our first session, where I will take a detailed history take and really find out about you, I will write and record you a personalised MP3 recording to listen to every day. In just 10 minutes a day it reprograms your mind and empowers you to make healthy lifestyle choices. No calorie counting, no denying yourself.

Do you have a fear of flying? Do spiders give you shivers? Do frogs make you jumpy? Does the thought of your next work presentation make you feel faint?

The majority of us can name our number one fear in a flash and can probably list the fears of all of our friends. Mine is Chesney Hawkes of ‘You are the one and only’ fame! I just googled his name to check the spelling and his photograph still gives me the creeps. We generally find other people’s phobias both entertaining and ridiculous, but when it comes to our own fears we can’t stop ourselves feeling scared by trying to talk ourselves out of it.

Utilising cognitive hypnotherapy we are effectively reprogramming your unconscious and teaching it that there is no need to be scared.

Lucy had always been scared of frogs and even the thought of them made her chest go tight with panic. She could not even look at a photograph of a frog and her fear was a 10/10. We worked together on Zoom and worked through all elements of her phobia. You do not need to know why you are scared of something nor do you need to relive any traumatic events from the past. The techniques I use are much gentler than traditional desensitising exposure techniques. A text from Lucy the evening after our session when I enquired how she felt:

“I don’t seem to be able to think about frogs! Like my brain gets bored, frogs are of no consequence. Before just thinking about them made me feel horrible. Looks like you cleared it – WOW!” Lucy H. Sydney, Australia.

Imagine if you could wave goodbye to your biggest fear, what would your life be like if this phobia was gone?

Our minds play a huge part in what we can physically achieve and many top athletes utilise hypnosis and neural linguistic programming (NLP) to enhance their performance. Using your personal goals as our target I will teach you simple techniques that will allow you to focus your mind and allow it to boost your motivation and progression. I will also write and record a personalised MP3 for you to listen to alongside training to ensure your mind is focused on success.

Having personally experienced infertility, IVF and miscarriage before falling pregnant naturally I am very aware of the emotional and physical rollercoaster of trying to conceive. I am the founder of Embrace Fertility providing inspiration, community and support on your journey to parenthood.

I offer mindfulness and hypnosis MP3s, The Embrace Fertility Method 12 week online course and one to one fertility and pregnancy support sessions.

Would you like to feel empowered, calm and confident during your pregnancy and birth?

Would you like to feel prepared and able to cope whatever your birth journey?

A woman’s body is designed to give birth and part of the natural process of birth involves the body releasing endorphins and oxytocin our natural painkillers. Hypnobirthing replaces anxiety and fear of birth with education and inspiration, allowing you to work with your body, baby and birthing team.

My intention is to enable you to feel more positive, calmer and more in control so that your baby’s birth is an event you look forward to.

More Mojo for Mums is for every mum who has ever felt overwhelmed, stressed out or exhausted and has decided to do something about it. Check out the podcast over at More Mojo for Mums.

Above is just a small selection of some of the more common reasons people contact me. Due to the fact that we are all unique the way in which I work is tailored specifically to you and your needs therefore I am able to support you with any life change you would like to make.

It was September 2012, I was exhausted, suffering from anxiety and was having panic attacks. My doctor suggested that I undertake an eight-week mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) course. I did and the result has been life changing. The course opened my eyes to how our thoughts and feelings shape our lives and how our bodies respond to our thinking, anxious thinking = anxious body.

I left my career in furniture and interior design to focus on myself and my health and began reading everything I could on the mindbody link.

I set up Embrace Fertility to offer inspiration, support and community for those struggling to conceive, going through fertility treatment or who are now pregnant following difficulties.

I trained in emotional freedom techniques (EFT) with master practitioners Emma Roberts and Sue Beer and became a practitioner in 2013.

I completed a mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) course with Evolving Minds to deepen my understanding and personal practice.

I then trained in cognitive hypnotherapy with Trevor Silvester the founder of this revolutionary new therapy at Quest Institute London. I have a diploma in cognitive hypnotherapy and am a certified practitioner of neuro linguistic programming (NLP).

Having completed my Confident Childbirth hypnobirthing practitioner training I set up Embrace Bump to Baby a video based hypnobirthing course and I started More Mojo For Mums in 2019 to support clients throughout their entire journey to and through motherhood.

I am registered with the National Council for hypnotherapy (NCH)  and clients have access to their codes of conduct and ethics and disciplinary procedures at all times.

In 2022 and 2023 I trained in Applied Movement Desensitisation & Reconsolidation trauma release AMDR.

Although my focus has been fertility I still support clients in many other areas of life. 

I am available for public speaking on a range of topics including stress management, resilience and well-being, mindfulness, cognitive hypnotherapy, emotional freedom techniques, fertility, pregnancy and childbirth.

I ran monthly fertility support group meetings and well-being workshops for my group Embrace Fertility while I was based in London. Group sizes ranged from 4 to 15 members.

My talk “Happier, healthier and more relaxed in just three minutes a day” which was part of the MindBelly Connection Fertility summit attracted an additional 102 members to my fertility support community.

I ran an online workshop on using hypnosis and mindfulness to reduce stress and enhance fertility during the Fertile Mind fertility summit.

Interquest is a bi-monthly event hosted to allow Quest Institute trained hypnotherapists to connect and continue their professional development. I was invited to talk about the benefits introducing mindfulness to clients and simple ways of doing so.

“Although I have a basic understanding of mindfulness Naomi's presentation was a revelation. Her passion for mindfulness and what it can achieve with clients and the precise and interesting way she put across her subject left me feeling equally enthusiastic and with a new understanding. I have since used some of the techniques she gave us to help my clients with excellent results. Naomi is a professional and excellent presenter and trainer.” - Lesley McCall Cognitive Hypnotherapist

"I invited Naomi to deliver a talk in the networking group I run. I was very impressed by not only her content but her delivery and style of presentation.The talk was highly informative, delivered in a sensitive way and really impacted the group of women it was delivered to. I would highly recommend Naomi as a speaker. She really knows how to communicate well and her subject matter." -  Sophie Fleming Regional Director, The Athena Network :: North London

I spoke at Womanifest in July 2023.
