Parenting coach I incorporate a coaching model into my sessions.

I am Amy and I am a qualified clinical hypnotherapist, Sleeptalk practitioner, coach and certified yoga teacher (CYT 200) offering a range of solutions that can help you cope with life's challenges - be it overcoming stress and anxiety, improving performance, taking control over a phobia, improving confidence and self esteem, changing behaviours and getting rid of unwanted habits or simply feeling

better about yourself (amongst many others).
​
I first experienced hypnotherapy almost ten years ago and I've not looked back since! Experiencing it from a client's perspective and realising the profound changes it had on me led me to train as a therapist. I have a great passion for helping others and it is my privilege that I can support people to instigate the changes that they would like to make in their lives. I have seen so many wonderful success stories over the years and it has been a real pleasure to be with clients as they work towards what is right and appropriate for them.
​
I have been working in the area of training and personal development throughout my career having originally graduated with an honours degree in psychology. I built on this with further qualifications in teaching, training, professional coaching, clinical hypnotherapy and hypnobirthing. Working as a practitioner in this area for many years across the public, private and voluntary sector, I have found hypnotherapy to be an effective way of helping people to overcome barriers that are impeding their lives. I have worked with individuals and groups across the UK, Ireland and internationally to identify the personal and/ or team outcomes that are important to them. By tapping into their own unique set of skills, resources, and capabilities, I have supported my clients with identifying and implementing the changes they want to see in their lives. My hypnotherapy practice is underpinned by life coaching, self management, neurolinguistic programming (NLP), cognitive behavioural therapy and solution focussed brief therapy principles. Essentially, this means that I work in a direct and goal focussed way: what is it you want to achieve and what is the best way for you to get there?

Entirely out of the blue earlier this week ,my house changed overnight.

It’s been important to me as my children are growing up to have a house full of animals.

They teach us so much about love. Though when their time comes to depart this earth, they teach us about navigating grief too. An equally important lesson

On Wednesday morning we said goodbye to the furry light of my life Harry Barry. He was my own little personal therapist; when my nervous system took a battering some years back,I spent hours lying next to Harry,listening to him purr and using it to help me soothe. He was instrumental in my healing.

The last few days have been just awful. He was old. But was tootling along just fine,until he wasn’t. On Monday,he lost his balance. On Tuesday the vet confirmed it was his time. He was calm and we chose to spend the night sitting with him. On Wednesday morning,he passed peacefully himself,with his human family all around him.

If you’d told me on Monday morning,that within 48 hours he’d be gone,I’d have laughed. All I can say is that there’s the biggest Harry Barry shaped hole in our home.

15 years of absolute joy from this little guy. I’m so grateful for what he (and his brother who passed in July) has brought to our lives.

Two things can exist in the one place as I often remind clients. And this has been true for me. For all the sadness, there has been so much more joy and comfort that Harry and his little brother have brought to my house and family.

So things are a little quieter these past few days.

I’m taking a few days for a bit of self minding and I’ll be back with you again from Sunday night.

And to my Tuesday night class from earlier this week…. I’ll be back on my game next week. I’d found out that Harry was going to leave us just before I started teaching on Tuesday evening. It was too late to cancel the class and I wasn’t entirely with it. It wasn’t my best work. I’ll be on the ball again next week

See you then 💓

One of my first yoga classes in the 00s was intimidating. I was in my early 20s, unfit, not very flexible and definitely not long and lithe limbed 🤣. The teacher singled me out about what I was doing wrong and it felt awful. It put me right off. For years. Yoga felt way too inaccessible to me.

After I did my intial training, I knew that this ⬆️ was not the environment I wanted to create.

Soothing, nurturing, and enjoying a practice for self rather than performance was my starting point. As I frequently say when I am teaching, if it feels good, it is good!

Today, there is no particular demographic in my classes. The one thing that unites everyone I think, is a desire to soothe the nervous system

My classes are suitable for most people, but people who I often see in these classes are:

💓 Mums who are tired and want an hour for themselves (where no one can access them)

♥️ Women of the sandwich generation - managing the challenges of caring for their children and their parents and use the class to destress

💓 Those who have stressful jobs and lives and want a way to manage that

♥️ People living with chronic pain who want to support their bodies to feel better

💓 Those who generally want to learn ways to manage life's challenges

♥️ Those who are future proofing; learning ways to develop balance, strength and flexibility

I also offer different styles of classes to meet different needs.

🧘‍♀️ Hatha classes hold long,slow stretches and include meditation

🧘‍♀️ Yin classes are dreamy; largely mat based and using props

🧘‍♀️ Vinyasa classes are a cardio focussed flow where we stop from time to time for a breath!

Mondays @ 9.25: Yin (1 SPACE AVAILABLE)

Mondays @ 10.30, 18.00 and 19.05: Hatha

Tuesdays @ 17.55 and 19.00 (1 SPACE AVAILABLE): Hatha

Sundays @ 17.10: Vinyasa (2 SPACES AVAILABLE)

Sundays @ 18.00 and 19.05: Hatha

I'm always talking about the vagus nerve in yoga class ; for those not aware, it is the longest cranial nerve in the body and helps you recover after stress. There are many ways to improve vagal tone; meditation, yoga and believe it or not, being kind and compassionate.

So kindness is quite literally and physically good for you.

There's a really interesting study I read about recently which put small blisters on the arms of 42 married couples. They then asked these same couples to talk about a topic that they argued about. And subsequently measure just how quickly these blisters closed.

Those couples who were hardest to each other healed at about 60% the speed of the couples who were kinder to each other. Interestingly, even for those couples who were more calm, one argument of 30 minutes slowed healing by about a day.

It's definitely food for thought that demonstrates that the argument you had last week didn't end when the talking did. Your body kept the score long after you moved on.

I'd love to say that I don't argue with my husband, but it has been a solid reminder of whether those harsh words were worth it. Definitely a 'hmmmm' moment for me.

Study from Ohio state and published in Archives of Geberal Psychiatry 2005 for those that are interested.

My daughter was beavering away today to make me a little booklet gift for my desk.

I had to take a double look at the title before realising that what I thought was a ‘b’ was actually a ‘k’ 🤭

I posted this on my private yoga group,but in case there’s anyone here who is interested in a Samhain celebration…. Please get in touch to help me with my planning

Hi folks,

I haven't run a half day retreat for quite a bit of time as I have been doing my best to manage my work life balance. I'm considering running one on November 1st to honour Samhain.

This is the next big turn of the wheel (and my favourite Celtic wheel celebration). It's all about new beginnings - born out of endings and darkness, a time to honour our ancestors and it is said, it is when the boundary between our spiritual world and the physical world is at its thinnest.

As you have come before, I wanted to get a feel for whether you would be interested in joining us. As I am currently focussing on my Portugal retreat at beginning of October (SO EXCITED!!), I need to forward plan for the stand alone events in October and November.

So if the following sounds good:

🗓️ Date: 1st November 9.30 -13.00
💰 Price: £48
🧘 What to expect: Journaling, somatic yoga, yin yoga and yoga nidra and soundbath

Please can you let me know by this Friday 11th of September so I can incorporate into my planning.

Thanks so much in advance.

Amy

P.S. inexplicably,I haven’t been able to find a picture of myself as a witch. Day of the dead is also a celebration that I very much enjoy!!!

I started my business back in 2016 with a simple dream to build a nourishing and nurturing space for people to lay their worries down for a while.

Back then, I was less sure exactly of who I wanted to support and why.

But as time moved on, and as I moved through the footloose fancy free version of me into pregnancy, motherhood and beyond, I began to distil down where my passions and my purpose really lies.

Starting as a generalist hypnotherapist and I guess yoga teacher too, I realised that my absolute passion was supporting women at various stages of life.

What started just over 10 years ago, has grown into something so much bigger than I could ever have imagined.

I've had the immense privilege to support probably thousands of women at this stage across Fife and beyond (through the powers of Zoom). I've done this through my specialist therapeutic services for women:

💓 Fertility support

♥️ Support through pregnancy and beyond (Hypnobirthing)

💓 Support through peri and menopause

♥️ Women who feel overwhelmed and underenthralled with life

💓 Through yoga classes, I have offered pregnancy yoga, women's yoga (men always welcome), children's yoga (from time to time) and beach yoga)

♥️ Monthly soundbaths which draws on my classical music training and is such a privilege to offer

My dream was truly realised last year where I got the keys to my own precious space; a little jewel that people often comment has a really special energy. And that's thanks to all of you who frequent it (and I don't ever underestimate that).

I'm so proud of what I have developed and I always hope that my gorgeous business reflects what I hope every woman feels when they come into my space.

An opportunity to land exactly as you are, feeling welcomed, supported, empowered just as you are.

My classes are not about being able to touch your toes or wrap your legs around your head. They are about moving your body with intention. They are about calming your mind. They are about finding an hour in your week where NO ONE needs anything from you. EXCEPT YOU.

So irrespective of where you are in terms of age, practice, ability, I would hope that there is a space for you here.

Because that is what you deserve.... a place to be held and supported without judgement.

Drop me a line if you would like to join us. There is a space for you here.

Thanks to those who joined the soundbath yesterday. It was another sold out event and I’m so grateful that you value these events as much as I do.

It was a beautiful morning focussed around acceptance.

Many of you commented afterwards how appropriate the theme felt for you. Acceptance is not about liking or condoning what is happening in the present moment. It is not an endorsement. Rather, acceptance is about acknowledging the reality of what is here and now.

It’s something I’ve been working personally on embracing over recent years. I still resist - I’m human after all - but it’s been a powerful way to find greater freedom of body and mind.

The next few standalone events are now on sale.

😱 Just a few spaces available for somatic yoga on the 27th @ 10AM - 11.15AM (£13).

🎶 And full availability for my next soundbath on October 11th at 10AM - 11.30AM (£19)

Drop a line to book a space in either.

It’s [email protected]

I just love when the evenings start closing in. It’s when I think the studio looks cosiest and at its most welcoming.

So I’m honouring that in classes this week. We’re moving as medicine: deep gentle movement as we harness the slower and more reflective energy of autumn

Bliss

See you tomorrow.

It’s yin @ 9.25 (where we’re focusing on twists and the side body)

Hatha @ 10.30/6 and 7.05

And Tuesday it’s 5.55 and 7 💓

💓 Yoga tonight 💓

Folks I’ve changed my plan for tonight.

Yoga tonight and over the next few days is all about MOVEMENT AS MEDICINE

It’s going to be a grounding and restorative practice as we move into this more reflective season.

Please bring a blanket… and I’ve got the bolsters ready

Time for a soothing morning after stretching my loins at an inflatable 5K yesterday 😆

My poor old hips didn’t know what was going on. I left my running career behind quite some years ago.

So this morning is all about the relaxation

Delighted to be offering a sound bath to Andys Man Club Inverkeithing first. Followed by an event for old faces and a couple of new ones.

This evening there’s yoga to look forward to and if anyone wants to join, here’s the schedule:

5.10 is vinyasa

6pm is hatha (we’re focusing on a hormonal reset

7.05 is also hatha

Drop a line if you’d like to join us

And classes coming up from Monday is all about the hips 💓

See y’all soon 🎵
