My life has been affected by anxiety; I did not reach my full potential to reach the national gymnastic squad due to anxiety at competitions, I did not take up a university place due to anxiety, I stayed in an abusive relationship due to fear of being alone....

Now however, I would never endure those situations again because I have learned about anxiety, come to respect it and use it to continually grow as a person.

I am married to a serving soldier and faced his 4 tours of duty in conflict areas, but I did not allow fear of his safety to debilitate me. I am a parent - and fully appreciate how they are a source of constant anxiety! However, I use what I now know to manage that and as importantly to me, teach them the same skills so that they do not suffer from anxiety either.

My first book, anxiety alchemy has put together all that I have learned from my own life experiences and my work as a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Master NLP Practitioner into a unique 5 step process that teaches people how to understand the internal chemistry that creates the feelings of anxiety, and then with that learning, mix the chemistry in a different way to create confidence.

I was a finalist at a national therapist award and have been using this process in my 1-2-1 sessions with many clients. I now want to make it available to a wider audience in this practical and easy to read fashion so that like me, the readers can wake up in the morning and look forward to life!
