Does the thought of boarding a plane fill you with dread?

Flying with confidence in 6 Weeks

A six-week hypnotherapy programme to help you feel safe, calm, and in control when you travel by air

Take control of your fear of flying

Are you dreading an upcoming holiday, or avoiding booking it? Maybe you've turned down career opportunities that require travel. Or gone out of your way to avoid flying, even if it meant missing out on special events and moments that matter. For many of us foreign travel can trigger real fears, meaning:

Anxiety about flying starts building days (or weeks) before departure
You know flying is safe, but your body doesn't listen to logic
You've white-knuckled through flights or avoided booking trips altogether
The fear makes you feel powerless, even though you're capable in every other area of life

This is surprisingly common among air travellers and I can help you overcome your personal fear of flying.

How is your fear of flying holding you back?

Personal life & adventure

Holidays abroad with loved ones
Special events and family moments
Spontaneity and freedom

Career

International work opportunities
Networking at conferences
Client relationships that require travel

Self-confidence

Feeling in control of your choices
The self-belief you have in other areas of your life
Being the person who says "yes" to adventure

You deserve to travel with ease, to feel calm in the cabin and arrive feeling relaxed and proud of yourself.

Flying with Confidence

This is a gentle, supportive programme designed to help you become a calmer, more confident flyer.

Over six weeks, working together online or in-person in London, we'll address the fear at its root, not by forcing you to "just get on with it," but by teaching your mind and body a new way to respond to flying.

You'll learn practical tools to settle your body, quieten anxious thoughts, and build real confidence before and during a flight.

Our goal is to help you feel safe, calm and in control when you travel.

How solutions focused hypnotherapy helps

Your fear of flying isn't simply about planes.

It can also be about about what the flying experience represents for you, whether that feels like a loss of control, being trapped, trusting something you don't understand, or a past experience your mind is still protecting you from.

When you board a flight, your brain's survival system sounds the alarm. Your rational mind knows you're safe. But your emotional mind, the part that controls your stress response, doesn't care about statistics.

This is why reading about aviation safety or "thinking positively" doesn't always work on its own. You can't logic your way out of an instinct that lives in your subconscious.

Hypnotherapy helps you access the part of your mind where the fear lives.

In a deeply relaxed, focused state, we gently reframe how your mind interprets the experience of flying. We quieten unhelpful thoughts, reduce the automatic anxiety response, and install a new pattern of calm, safety and capability.

This isn't about dismissing your fear. It's about teaching your nervous system that it is safe and not under threat.

Hypnotherapy is evidence-informed, collaborative, and designed to work with you.

FAQs

What if it doesn't work for me? Fear of flying can feel deeply ingrained, especially if you've had it for years. But the mind is far more adaptable than we give it credit for. Hypnotherapy works by addressing the subconscious patterns that keep the fear in place. Even if you've tried other approaches that haven't worked, this doesn't mean you're "unfixable." It often means the method didn't reach the root of the issue. I've worked with many clients who felt the same doubt and went on to travel with calm and confidence.

I've had this fear for years - is it too late? The length of time you've had the fear doesn't determine whether it can change. What matters is your willingness to try a new approach. Some fears develop after a specific event. Others have been there as long as you can remember. Regardless of when it started, hypnotherapy can help you create a new response.

Will I have to relive a traumatic experience? No. This programme is designed to help you move forward, not to force you to replay distressing memories. If your fear is rooted in a difficult past experience, we work gently and at your pace, always prioritising your comfort and sense of safety.

I'm worried I'll feel out of control Hypnotherapy is not about losing control, it's about re-gaining it. You're fully aware during every session. You can speak, move and stop at any time. Hypnosis is simply a deeply relaxed, focused state, like being absorbed in a book. You remain in complete control throughout.

What if January isn’t going to plan? Life is lifeing, so those intentions to spring into action haven’t quite happened?

Well, I’d say pause, be kind to yourself, and things will sort themselves out.

Sometimes we can put a lot of pressure on ourselves in January. When in fact it’s a time for stillness. It’s more of a time for planning and planting the seeds of intention you’d like to nurture and see grow over the coming months.

So instead of beating yourself up for not being on track, why not take stock of all the things you HAVE achieved and reflect on how to build on your success?

What small change would make the most impact?

ON WORLD HYPNOTISM DAY, I couldn’t resist sharing some common myths & misconceptions about hypnosis.

You may have already come across some of them. Ideas often shaped by films, TV or stage shows, that aren’t actually true.

❌ MYTH 1: “You’re not in control.”
✔️TRUTH: You’re always in control. You might choose to drift off or follow every moment. If you wanted to, you could open your eyes and bring yourself back to full alertness any time.

❌ Myth 2: “You might say or do something embarrassing.”
✔️TRUTH: You’ll only accept suggestions that feel right for you. Hypnosis doesn’t override your values or personal boundaries. You can’t be made to cluck like a chicken (unless, of course, that’s something you really want to do). Nothing happens without your permission.

❌ Myth 3: “You can get stuck in hypnosis.”
✔️TRUTH: You can’t get stuck in hypnosis. If the doorbell rang, your dog barked, or the fire alarm went off, you would instantly respond. In an emergency, your subconscious mind would immediately bring you back to full awareness.

❌ Myth 4: “Hypnosis is a kind of sleep.”
✔️TRUTH: It’s a state of focused awareness - not sleep. Even though a hypnotist might use the word “sleep” as a cue to relax, you’re not actually asleep. Most people feel physically still but mentally aware, even if their attention starts to drift. You’re simply entering a calmer, quieter state of mind where your imagination and focus become more active.

❌ Myth 5: “You need to be weak-minded or gullible.”
✔️TRUTH: People who respond well to hypnosis are usually intelligent, creative and have good focus. You need to be able to concentrate, use your imagination and stay open to the process. Hypnosis is safe. It’s collaborative. It works by enhancing your natural capacity to focus, imagine and enter into a more resourceful state of mind.

#hypnotherapist #personaltransformation #NewYearNewYou #smokingcessation #fearofflying

The new year’s a great time for planting seeds of positive change & personal development we’d like to see moving into Spring. There’s fresh energy & momentum for growth & renewal.

If you want to take this freshness & apply it to your work to keep this positive outlook & help boost daily productivity (while maintaining work life balance & energy levels here are some ideas.

💡Get to know your baseline stress levels

Not all stress is bad. It’s part of our survival instinct & a little good stress will help us perform our best, meet deadlines or get us out of danger. However, it’s not sustainable & we need to balance periods of rest & digest.

So it’s helpful to check in with yourself & notice your stress triggers. If ‘normal’ is a high level of stress, it might not take much to push you over the edge. Whereas if you can lower your baseline stress level, there’s more bandwidth to accommodate those triggers. And when you become aware of a small increase in your stress level, it’s easier & quicker to take a small intervention to bring the temperature back down, before it bubbles over.

So what small interventions can you take when you find yourself stressed at work?

1. Step away from your desk and take a pause. We’re aerobic animals, designed to move. Sitting hunched at desks, really isn’t good for us over prolonged periods. So make it a priority to get up & move after 45-50 minutes of focused work. Perhaps make a cup of tea, walk around or stand up & do some stretches.

2. Focus on your breath & take long slow inhales through the nose, hold the breath a few seconds & breathe out even more slowly, controlling the breath. This sends a biological instruction to your nervous system to physically calm down.

3. Taking a break from tasks or trying to solve an issue will allow your thoughts to settle. The way the mind works, when we quieten our thoughts, very often a solution or idea will emerge, so you can come back with more clarity.

4. Finally, get outside & have walk. Make it a non-negotiable every day at lunch time to leave the building & connect with your environment.
#NewYearNewYou #WorkLifeBalance #stressfreelife #worksmarter #mindfulness

All those hours of overtime. Because you thought working hard was enough and trusted your brilliant work would speak for itself.

You’ve gone the extra mile, skipped yoga, eaten takeaways to meet deadlines. Stepped in to sort out the chaos no one else could, covered your colleagues’ backs. Yet somehow you’re allowing your inner voice to beat you up for not doing enough.

Here, it’s about making time for YOU and being kind to yourself.

It’s not about pushing through, trying to prove yourself. You are enough and what you do is enough.

It’s about understanding the body’s stress response and what helps and hinders that.

We want you to carve out space in your life for you and your own self-care so that you can shine in the way you truly deserve.

Together we’ll reduce stress, overcome fears, welcome more rest and make you feel good about yourself. When you know what makes you feel buoyant and focused you can show the world the best version of you.

Follow along for mindset, movement and relaxation.

NEW INTENTIONS AND HEALTHY HABITS FOR 2026. I love the energy & freshness of the new year. Leaving behind the baggage, heaviness & unhealthy habits of the past year & wiping the slate clean. Revisiting the things we meant to do. Doing the things that nourish, motivate & energise us. It’s a new year & time for the true you.

What are my top 10 priorities for a New Year True You?
🏃🏼‍MOVE MORE – in whatever way lights you up. It doesn’t have to be the gym. It could be a walk at lunch time, yoga, a gentle jog or even gardening. Anything that gets the endorphins buzzing, makes you feel good & boosts our mental health.
🛌🏼GET A BETTER NIGHT’S SLEEP – I know for many of us that is easier said than done, but is vital for good physical health & mental focus. If you struggle with sleep, make 2026 the year you put a plan in place to address this.
🏆MORE SELF-BELIEF – You are amazing, & if you don’t believe that, you need to. If you keep telling yourself you’re not enough, this is the year to change the record.
💃🏼DANCE! – We know that dancing makes you feel good & is great exercise, but recent research is linking dance as one of the best ways to avoid dementia in later life due to the complex interspatial processing & motor learning.
🧑🏼‍💻GET AI FLUENT – The stable door is open & like it or not AI is here. Learn how to vibe engineer AI prompts to do your job better & understand the pitfalls that will turn your work into AI slop.
🍂GET OUT IN NATURE – Or you can watch one of my new year videos and find out why I think this is important
🥕EAT A HEALTHY DIET - As the saying goes, “You are what you eat”.
⭐SHINE! – And notice how your brightness touches & lights up those around you. It’s a New Year True You.
🧑🏼‍🎓LEARN A NEW SKILL – What will help you achieve your goals, progress in your career or feel good about yourself?
🧘🏼‍FIND MOMENTS OF CALM – Whether it’s mindfulness, restorative yoga or meditation, find time to quieten the mind & body. Take a few moments to press pause & listen to one of the guided meditations you can download via the link in my bio.

2025 has been quite a year. There have been highs, there have been lows. Times have been challenging for many. But we’ve made it. We’re still smiling and we’re stronger for it.

It’s always quite a reflective time of year. We can reflect on and celebrate our achievements. And we can also be honest with ourselves about whether there are things that we’d like to leave behind in 2025 so that we can start off the new year lighter, freer and optimistic about starting afresh.

So here are my top 10 things to leave behind in 2025. Do you agree with any of them?

😱Letting anxiety hold you back – if fears are blocking you from doing all the things you’d like to do, and being who you’d like to be, leave those behind so you can start the year with a clean slate.

🛌🏼Lying awake worrying about work – we know this is unhealthy, it’s time to draw a line and learn how to get a better night’s sleep.

🧑🏼‍💻Being “Always on” for work – have you been giving more of yourself to your job than you are getting back?

👹Letting fears control you – what have you missed out on this year because you were too scared?

🥱Pushing through exhaustion – could you get more rest and feel more energised?

🚭Unhealthy habits – can you quit any habits that are sabotaging your health like smoking and vaping?

⚠️Worrying about things you can’t control – what if you were free to focus on the things that are within your own power to change?

🚨Letting go of past negative experiences – are you ready to acknowledge the challenges that have made you who you are and move on with the wisdom you gained?

👻Avoiding your fears – what are your fears stopping you from doing?

💐Overlooking your own needs – can you start making time for YOU?

What else do you think is best left in 2025?

#goodbye2025 #thingstoletgo #selfsabotage #unhelpfulhabits #releasingfears

Worrying is part of being human. But it’s not always good for us. Our bodies can’t tell the difference between a real life-threatening event and a fear that is looping in our imagination.

So if your worries of a worst case scenario are making you anxious, your body will be experiencing a fight, flight or freeze reaction. And that is pretty exhausting.

The good news is that even if you think you’re hard-wired with a fear, we can use that same imagination to envisage a more positive outcome, which builds our resilience to a stronger footing. That makes us better resourced to cope with life’s challenges when they arise.

As a clinical hypnotherapist, I help client reframe their fears and limiting beliefs that are holding them back from achieving the potential life they are meant for. That’s not to trivialise any fears. Or anything that arises from your nervous system’s instinct to try to protect you. But we can transform unhelpful emotional responses into more healthy ones. Those feelings of anxiety around a problem at work can eat you up and leave you drained. However dialling down the anxiety to a more manageable level of concern makes a huge difference. You still recognise there’s a need to manage a difficult situation, but are empowered to do so from a position of strength, focus and groundedness.

That’s why I’m thrilled to share my new free guide on freeing yourself from fear and self-sabotaging habits with hypnotherapy. It teaches you the basics of hypnosis, what it is and what it’s good for, while clearing up any myths and misconceptions. It also includes several audio exercises for you to download and try at home so you can get a taster of self-hypnosis for deep relaxation.

So whether you’re looking to overcome a fear of flying, trying to stop-smoking or are simply interested in learning how to work with your subconscious mind to achieve a personal goal, this guide is for you.

You can download your introduction to hypnosis guide via the link in my bio, or DM me or comment with the word “HYPNO” and I will personally send you the link.

Happy Christmas to you! I hope you have had a wonderful few days with your loved ones.

Christmas can be a time of great generosity, but it can also be quite exhausting and take up a lot of energy. So if you’ve been on the go, I hope you allow yourselves a little time to rest and to take care of YOU.

If that’s you, I’d love to offer you a small gift, with love this Christmas.

I’m offering three complimentary 30-minute wellbeing chats as a small Christmas gift to my community.

It’s a warm and confidential space to talk through one issue of your choice and leave with more insight, balance and focus on how to move forward.

Are you making the most of your time off?

How can we make the most of our time off during Twixmas? That dark week between Christmas and the New Year, when everything’s quiet and many of us are taking downtime. What’s your favourite way to disconnect from work when we take time off for the festive season and our holidays?

And yes, for me, staying in an Area of National Outstanding Beauty in the heart of Constable Country, of course, it’s getting out in nature.

Did you know that getting back to nature is an evolutionary trait? Our bodies are evolved for a life aligned with our natural habitat. Which is why it feels so good for your mental health to get outdoors.

And there is a theory that our ancestors that got closest to water, that foraged the land and were close to the plants and food sources that grew or roamed – were the best equipped to thrive and survive.

So that sense of oneness, balance and wellbeing that we get from nature is part of our DNA. It’s part of our genetic blueprint.

And even though it’s cold and dark and wet – we need our time outside. Any thoughts on what we can do to get out doors a bit over the Christmas break?

If ever there is a day for Savasana, the Winter Solstice has to be one of them. The shortest day falls at the busiest time of year, when lots of us are simply exhausted right now – yet we’re pushing through – at a time of year when our bodies are craving deep rest.

There are several points in the Wheel of the Year when we’re reminded that we are part of nature. And the 24/7, always on lifestyle we live in this digital age isn’t the way of living that our bodies are evolved for. Our physiology is yearning a much more simple life, in tune with the natural rhythms of the Earth on its journey around the Sun.

That’s why I like to look back and remember how our ancestors observed the seasons, the land and the stars. Just as nature is hibernating to conserve resources through winter, some of us might be yearning to nest and rest right now too.

If you’re in the mood for a power nap this midwinter, to recharge your energy and feel more rested, have a listen to the deep relaxation audio in my guide on Keeping Bright in Darker Days. It’s one of my all time favourite ways to switch off and relax the mind and body when you’ve only 30-minutes and need an energy boost.

You can get the whole guide free via the link in my bio. Give yourself the gift of rest this Mid-Winter.

PS. Sorry about the bad sound. Am testing out new kit, and didn’t get it right.

Deep rest is an act of self-love - especially when your body has been through a lot.

When “Robyn” started working with me, she was physically and emotionally drained after cancer treatment.

She felt disconnected from her body, and like she’d lost her sense of calm.

We worked together using restorative yoga and tools to down-regulate the nervous system.

Over 6 weeks, she found something she didn’t expect:
“It’s not just about the poses. It’s about being restored. I’ve never been the kind of person to ask for help, but allowing someone to guide and support me has been a huge part of my healing.”

Now, she’s sleeping better, walking taller, and knows how to create deep rest in her body.

If you’ve been running on empty this autumn…

I’ve created a free 7-day reset guide to help you keep bright in the darker days.

Comment or DM me BRIGHT and I’ll send you the guide. (Names have been changed for client confidentiality)

About Elizian Days - Hi, I’m Liza 🙏🏼

I’m a hypnotherapist, dancer and yoga teacher … And for more than 25 years, I led global marketing campaigns for some of the world’s best-loved brands.

In 2015, a life-changing diagnosis interrupted everything.

I kept working. I kept dancing. But when the treatment ended, I had to learn something entirely new. That was how to slow down. How to heal. How to rest.

Savasana became the first space where I truly felt safe enough to let go.

That’s when Elizian Days was born.

Now I blend everything I’ve learned - from decades of corporate leadership to trauma-informed wellbeing - into therapeutic work for people navigating stress, burnout, chronic illness or recovery.

I’ve trained with @judithlasater (the creator of Restorative Yoga) and bring deep care, precision and presence to every client I work with.

🧘🏻‍♀️I’ll be sharing tips and advice on how to rest and relax. Plus some of the restorative journeys I’ve supported, including those of breast cancer survivors learning how to feel themselves again.
🌤️ I’ll also be sharing more about my work as a hypnotherapist, supporting high-performing professionals, who want to switch between work-life mode and achieve their goals without compromising their health.

🌻 If you’ve ever felt stretched too thin, stuck in freeze, or unable to get the rest you need, this space is for you.

Welcome to Elizian Days 🌿

What’s the most common piece of advice that I give to clients? It’s the first wellbeing hack I ever learnt. Something I’ve turned to in the toughest challenges. And it’s absolutely free.

Nothing complicated. It’s quite simply to breathe.

Our breath connects our mind and body and when we learn to manipulate it, we can create physiological change – whether that is to calm our nervous system or boost our energy levels.

Controlling our breath technique, by slowing the inhalation and extending the exhalation allows us to calm the nervous system and quieten the mind.

You just need to learn how and practise that regularly.

Follow me for simple wellbeing tips and free resources.

What a joyous afternoon in the dance studio at our solo jazz workshop at @DanceAtticStudios.

And it’s brilliant to hear feedback from dancers that focusing on their solo dance is making a difference to their partnered lindy hop on the social dance floor.

This week, we consolidated a short sequence and how you can take the same sequence and use it to travel around the floor in a group. As well a learning some classic jazz steps, from the start of the Tranky Doo.

Thank you to @AlisonGirelli, @Marta_in_B, @OliviaJaneMidd, @MorningMenon and everyone for your energy and hard work. It was so lovely working with you.

Looking into next dates, so DM me if you’re interested in coming along.

The best thing is that the drive for this is coming from the students themselves who are wanting to work on their swing dancing by learning the intricacies and creativity of solo jazz. Thank you @marta_in_b and @alisongirelli for putting me up for this.

I’ve booked a big studio this week, so we have space for a few more dancers. If you’d like to develop your solo jazz, learn more classic steps and routines and work on styling and musicality, come and join us! We’d love to have you along.

These are small, semi-private sessions, so there’s space for individual feedback and requests. You’ll learn how to feel the music, embody the dance, and express your own unique style with confidence.

Classes are pitched at intermediate level and above. We’re working on a fun sequence and open to ideas if there’s something you’d like to work on.

Price for 90 mins: £18
Book via link in bio or DM me to reserve your spot (or to find out about future dates).

Your own personally created relaxation audio (Black Friday offer - £47).

I’m running a one-off Black Friday offer this year.

For £47 (usually £120), you’ll get a 45-minute consultation with me where we explore one issue you’d love some support around. It might be something that doesn’t need a full hypnotherapy programme, but you would enjoy some personalised self-care on demand. We can look at a choice of topics from sleep, stress and confidence to overwhelm and boundaries – whatever you feel you’re needing.

After our call, I’ll write and record a bespoke mindfulness and relaxation script, tailored to our discussion, your personal requests, your language and what actually helps you unwind.

You’ll receive an MP3 you can keep forever and use whenever you need a reset.

I only have 5 spaces for this Black Friday offer.

If you’d like one, comment CALM or send me a message before the end of November and I’ll send you the link.

Stop listening to coaches who love telling you you’re doing everything wrong.

And start listening to yourself… and your own inner wisdom.

Here’s the thing I wish more people knew: there’s a difference between your inner voice and your inner wisdom.

Your inner voice can be noisy. Yes, it can be honest, but it can also be self-doubting, unkind and sometimes untrue. If you are subconsciously absorbing “you’re not enough” content on social media it can repeat those unhelpful messages back to you until it becomes a belief.

If you can quieten the busy mind and still looping thoughts, your inner wisdom arises when you’re not forcing answers or chasing someone else’s blueprint.
When you learn to settle your thoughts, even for a few moments, you can listen to your intuition and tap into your own wisdom, which often offers solutions. You get to hear the part of you that understands what you need and is ready to guide you. The part that is self-assured, feels safe and not acting in a place of fear.

This is the confidence building work I love helping people with. Not telling you you’re broken, or that your life will only change if you follow my rules.

It’s helping you listen to your own wisdom, embracing your own solutions, your own way, reinforcing your own agency.
Because you don’t need people telling you you’ve being doing things the wrong way. You are enough and maybe you just need to believe that.

If you want to strengthen your mindset and trust yourself more deeply, hypnotherapy can help. It quietens the noise, softens the stress response and gives your mind the space to reconnect with what you truly need so that you can make positive change happen.

You can experience what that feels like, when you download my free Introduction to Hypnosis Starter Kit. It’s yours to keep via the link in my bio. Check it out and let me know what you think.

It’s been brilliant recently helping hypnotherapy clients master challenges and overcome the limiting beliefs that have been holding them back. Some have stood up to their fears, such as flying, after years of missing out on overseas trips and creating memories with loved ones far away. Others have decided to take action on their health and wellbeing, whether that’s quitting smoking or learning to get the sleep they need to feel like themselves again and perform at their best.

So for Black Friday, I’m running a special offer on three of my most popular hypnotherapy programmes, Flying with Confidence, Smoking Cessation and Better Sleep. If you book in November, quoting the code BF10, you will receive a bonus session in your programme (six for the price of five) plus a 10 percent discount if you start in December. You’ll also receive guided self-hypnosis recordings and support throughout the process – including a personalised self-hypnosis recording created just for you.

Drop me a line if you are interested in any of these hypnotherapy programmes:
✈️Flying with Confidence
You’d be surprised at how many frequent flyers confess that they don’t like flying. We work on desensitising those fears and re-framing the experience into something you enjoy with confidence.

🚭Smoking Cessation
When you stop smoking, you gain more than you lose. Better health, reduced stress and more money in your pocket to treat yourself.

🛌🏼Sleep Better
When you sleep well, you think more clearly, feel more grounded and more resilient when life is challenging.

If you feel ready to make a change before the end of the year, and want to make a saving, why not get in touch or ask any questions. There is no pressure and I’m here to support you on your wellbeing journey.

DM me the word RESET and we can set up a 20 minute chat about your personal goal.

🌧️Grim and grey Autumn skies today, even though the sun is trying to shine in between showers. Sunset is at 3.55pm, so there are only a few precious hours to spend in nature.

⛅I knew that if I got out in the natural light, even with the rain, I’d feel better for it before coming home to nest and rest and make the most of the extra down time as the day got darker.

🛌🏼Autumn offers a perfect chance to reset, recharge and reconnect with yourself. Letting go of what you no longer need, boosting your immunity and creating space for rest means you can move into the darker months feeling calmer, more energised and resilient.

🧘🏼‍♂️That is why I’m hosting another Autumn Reset mini online retreat, with a bonus 7 Day follow up action plan to help you prepare your mind and body for the season ahead.
In the session, you’ll experience:

• Grounding mindfulness and reflection – check in with yourself, release what doesn’t serve you and set intentions for the season.
• Mindful movement – gentle exercises to support circulation, immunity and energy.
• Somatic relaxation – deep rest techniques to calm your nervous system and recharge your energy.
• A practical take-away – you’ll receive my free 7 Day Autumn Reset Guide, full of daily mindfulness, movement and nutrition tips to help you continue your reset after the retreat.

Plus a week of support if you are up for the challenge.

Details:
Date: Saturday 29 November
Time: 9:00–11:00am
Location: Online

If you feel drawn to creating your own reset before winter arrives, you can book using the link in my bio or send me a DM and I will share the details with you.

know I’m always banging on about self-care, pressing pause and taking time to check in with yourself - but as it’s #NationalSelfCareWeek could you make this the week that you set aside time to think of YOU?

With this year’s theme of “Mind & Body”, it’s a friendly nudge to stop and think about how the stress we’re carrying about might be impacting us physically and even explore how the 60,000 daily thoughts that fill our mind have a physical reaction in our body.

If this week, you can become aware of your baseline stress levels, you can get a sense of whether you’ve bandwidth to accommodate unexpected stressors as they arise, or whether a one degree temperature rise in stress would be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. You can learn small interventions of self-care before cortisol takes hold, such as breathing or stepping away from your computer for a cup of tea, that keep stress manageable.

What would happen if you gave yourself 10 minutes for your self-care today? First thing in the morning, at lunchtime or at the end of the day? To sit still and notice how you are, whether your thoughts are racing, what your energy levels are doing and the emotions you’re feeling?

I’d love you to try one of my favourite mindfulness relaxations for this time of year. It’s an Autumn Reset to reflect on what you’d like to let go of and the intentions you’d like to set in the run up to winter, as we attune to the seasonal cycles of nature.

You’ll find it in my 7-Day Autumn/Winter Reset guide “Keeping bright in the darker days.” DM me if you’d like it, or download your free copy of the guide straight away using the link in my bio.

As the days shorten & the weather gets cold & wet, you might be thinking about what you can do to look after your wellbeing in the run up to winter. If you want to keep feeling bright when there’s less daylight, maintain your energy & support your immunity through the cold & flu season, there are a few things you can do to feel good when the clocks go back.
Our bodies are evolved to live & move in a natural environment, yet modern life keeps us indoors, hunched over screens & surrounded by artificial light. As the days get darker & colder, we can find ourselves staying indoors at the exact time we need natural light the most.
It’s very normal to be affected by the reduction in daylight. For some, it has a direct impact on mood. Combining movement, mindfulness & proper rest helps build resilience and find ways to bring in more light through the season.
If you want to feel brighter through the darker months, more energised & more in tune with your body in 7 Days, I’d love you to take my Autumn Reset Challenge. All you have to do is download my free guide “Keeping Bright in the Darker Days” & get cracking. It’s full of simple daily habits, mindfulness practices and small practical actions you can start straight away.
You can download it via the link in my bio & create your own week of wellbeing straight away, so you notice the benefits immediately.

Instead of starting the day with stress before you’ve even left the duvet, here are some grounding morning habits from my Autumn/Winter Reset blog that genuinely make a difference:

🍋A detoxifying cup of hot water with lemon and ginger gives your digestive system a gentle wake-up call, helping your body switch into gear.
🧘🏼‍♀️A few quiet minutes without stimulation lets your mind settle before the day begins. Slow breathing has a direct, physical influence on your body chemistry, lowering cortisol and activating your parasympathetic nervous system.

As the days get darker, shorter and colder, there’s often less motivation to get outside – at the time of year when we need it most.

Our bodies are evolved to live, move and breathe outdoors, yet modern life keeps us hunched at desks, flooded with artificial light, and moving less than ever.

Getting enough natural light every day is one of the fundaments to regulating your circadian rhythm and lifting your mood.

Leaving your work desk to take a 10–20 minute walk every lunchtime is enough to make a difference.

Is this something you could start off doing, as the days start getting dreary, even if it’s just for a week? And if you want to keep bright in the darker days, check out my free 7-Day Autumn/Winter Reset Guide to help you create a realistic, personalised plan. You can download it free via the link in bio.

It’s #StressAwarenessWeek and I think we’re all too aware of just how much stress we’re
carrying right now. Trying to do more in shorter days, juggling higher volumes of low-impact
tasks, while wishing we had a bit more space to breathe and focus.
It’s the simple habits that can make a big difference, like leaving your desk at
lunchtime. Just 10–20 minutes of daylight and movement can improve mood, reduce
stress, and boost focus for the afternoon. It doesn’t need to be a long walk. Even
stepping outside for a brisk stroll or standing in the sunlight is enough to reset your
nervous system.
One of the tips from my 7-Day Autumn/Winter Reset is to schedule a 10-15 minute
outdoor walk at roughly the same time each day this week. Notice how it affects your
energy, mood and focus. This small, intentional pause is enough to make a real
difference.
Are you in the mood to reflect on what you might be needing right now to feel brighter
and more resilient through the darker months? Download my free 7-Day Autumn/Winter
Reset Guide: “Keeping Bright in the Darker Days” to get you started and work out a plan.
It’s packed with guided mindfulness, self-care ideas, reflection templates and a
nutrition guide from @EmmaSayersNutrition to help you create your own simple,
effective self-care plan.

🎃 Happy Halloween, Samhain, Día de los Muertos - or whatever seasonal magic you might be marking this weekend. I’ve always found there’s a kind of childlike wonder this time of year.
The darker evenings. A sense of spooky eeriness, the changing season & piles of fallen leaves that were made for kicking through (or building the ultimate secret den).

That suspension of disbelief on Halloween - when the veil between worlds is lifted & witches, ghosts & goblins might just have been real.

As adults, maybe we’ve lost such magic, but it’s still a perfect moment to reconnect with nature & the turning of the year.
🍂 Samhain marks the Celtic new year. It was a threshold between light & dark, harvest & hibernation. Traditionally, fires were lit to honour ancestors, cleanse energy & carry warmth and protection into the colder months.

It’s a good time to pause, take stock & ask ourselves:
❓How can I align my energy with the natural season’s slowing pace?
❓Do I need more light, rest or nourishment right now?
❓What can I let go, to make space for myself & the things I’m needing?
Today, I’m excited to be launching my free 7-Day Autumn Reset Guide, “Keeping Bright in the Darker Days.”

It’s a gentle companion with tools and resources to help you create your own week-long wellbeing plan to recharge your energy, support your immunity & feel more balanced through the darker months.

You’ll find:
- Guided mindfulness & relaxation audios
- Reflection templates & planning tools
- A deep relaxation self-hypnosis audio to help you truly rest

You can use it to create your own 7-day reset plan for mind & body with a small acts of self-care to recharge your energy & boost resilience in the run up to winter.
⬇️DM me to get your guide or download using the link in bio
Here’s to keeping bright in the darker days - and carrying a little of that Halloween magic with us as we do. 🧙🏼

This week in the Intermediates Lindy Hop class at ATrain, we worked on double hand-hold
moves that let your partner slide or glide along the floor.
It might surprise you that many moves originate from a place of neutrality in the arms. You
can’t “make” your partner do anything - it’s about directing, receiving and redirecting energy,
using the weight of your body & gravity.
When you shift awareness from your head to your centre of gravity, it opens another layer of
creativity. That groundedness and presence brings the dance alive, far more than overthinking
or second-guessing your partner.
Lindy Hop is a whole-body dance. Often the dynamism comes from how our body weight
moves through space in the presence of gravity. The arms don’t need to control - they can
receive, respond and redirect. A sense of openness and curiosity invites more creativity than
trying to drive every step.
We often say the dance is a conversation. I’d add that our arms are the channel of
communication - receiving and redirecting flow rather than controlling it.
So, two-handed moves into slides! We found they work best when the arms start from
neutrality, allowing trust and connection. When the lead feels groundedness in the follow,
they can use that yielding to extend the slide - and vice versa when it’s the follow’s turn to
slide.
We’ll repeat this session on Thursday at Yacht Club Swing, diving deeper into the
mechanics. If you missed Monday or want to refine technique, see you there!

🍁As the days start to shorten and the weather gets colder and wetter, you might be thinking about what you can do to look after your wellbeing in the run up to winter. If you want to keep feeling bright when there is less daylight, maintain your energy levels and boost immunity for the cold and flu season, there are a
few things you can do to feel good when the clocks go back.
🍁Living in Rhythm with Nature🍁
Quite simply, our bodies are evolved to live, move and breathe in a natural environment, yet our modern life is often keeping us indoors, hunched at desks on computers, flooding our eyes 24/7 with artificial light or the blue light of our beloved screens.
In summer, we revel in the longer lighter days and the good weather takes us outdoors, spending more time in our natural habitat. As the days get darker, shorter and colder, there is often less motivation to get us outside – at a time of year when it’s even more important to get out and walk in natural light every day.
In Autumn and Winter, we particularly need to look after our lungs and ramp up our immunity.
We want to keep our circulatory and lymphatic systems flowing, taking nutrients and oxygen to
fuel every cell and removing cellular waste efficiently before it builds up and stagnates, like
rotting Autumn leaves, making us feel sluggish and low.
As well as nourishing ourselves with nutrient rich seasonal food, the connection between our
mind and body will also directly impact how they respectively feel. So taking time to look after
one of those elements will have a positive impact on the other. Of course it’s even more
powerful when your self-care combines the two.

Do you find this time of year quite challenging? There’s maybe a sense of feeling grateful
for the fruits of harvest yet a boding sense that the wheel of the year is turning
and those longer, darker and colder days are just around the corner when we put
the clocks back.
Maybe you’re thinking about getting a flu jab and how to protect your immunity,
look after your respiratory and circulatory system. Or how to avoid being
affected by the seasonal lack of light this year.
If you’re secretly dreading the next few months heading towards winter, drop me
a line. I’ve a plan on how to get through it!

This time of year, when we’re heading towards the colder, darker months, it’s good to keep moving. And how good is it to exercise with others? What a great idea from @hammersmithbusiness to get us down the gym for some #sweatworking! Thank you to Dom and to Joe at @revival.personaltraining for putting us through the reps in a brilliant session. Then of course it was time for coffee and Big Asks. Thank you to all the businesses there for such brilliant support and advice.

With the changing seasons, you might be wondering how to keep your energy stores going, feel in good shape and avoid those seasonal colds.
While you’re reflecting on what your mind and body might need right now, here’s what others are saying after last year’s Autumn Reset with me:
✨ “Your sessions always leave me feeling positive, calm and like I can face the world with renewed energy. I always struggle with the approach of winter and you remind me that it’s not just ok to slow down and recharge, but to embrace and enjoy that process.”
✨ “The gentle flow combined with your poetic meditation created a space that felt deeply restorative and grounding. Each movement was intentional and allowed me to reconnect with my breath and body in a mindful way.”
✨ “You made us focus and welcome stillness through meditation and movement. I felt so calm afterwards and yet ready for the day. You are so talented - thank you!”

A gentle, nourishing way to welcome the season and restore your energy.

✨ Happy Diwali ✨

As the nights draw in and autumn turns towards winter, we enter a season when light becomes something we tend intentionally - a quiet flame in the hearth, a candle on the windowsill, a spark of kindness shared between us.

Across cultures and faiths, this time of year brings festivals that honour light, reminding us that illumination can be both an outer and inner experience. Happy Diwali to those around the world celebrating, the Festival of Lights this week - marking the triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and hope over despair.
Houses glow with lamps and diyas. Families gather to honour Lakshmi, goddess of prosperity and abundance. Stories of Rama and Sita’s return home remind us that devotion, courage and love always guide us back to the light.

Wherever you are, you might pause one evening to kindle a small light - to honour your own inner flame and the warmth it brings to others.

May your days be blessed with clarity, peace, and abundance.
May the light within you stay steady and bright, even through the darkest nights.
And may we each, in our own way, help to keep the light alive — for ourselves, and for one another.

🪔
Om Shreem Hreem Shreem Mahalakshmaye Namah
May you be blessed with wealth, wellbeing, and joy.

We’ll come together to welcome the seasonal shift collectively, set intentions for our own self-care in a way that feels personally right for you.

In our time together, we’ll press the pause button so you can carve out some nourishing self-care time, resetting the needs of your mind and body as we move towards the end of the year. Here’s what you can look forward to:
🧘🏼‍Grounding mindfulness and self-reflections to check in, let go and set positive intentions
🧘🏼‍Mindful movement to encourage good posture, stretch your muscles, ease physical and mental tension, boost circulation and lymphatic flow
🧘🏼‍Gentle somatic movement to quieten the nervous system and guide you toward relaxation and a better night’s sleep
🧘🏼‍Beautiful guided relaxation for deep rest and rejuvenation
🧘🏼‍Poetry and specially chosen music

The lengthening nights offer more time to reset, renew and recharge our metaphorical batteries. We can do that through letting go of the things we don’t need, lightening the darker days with self-care and envisioning things that make us feel good. It’s a time to focus on boosting your immunity and finding a gentle flow to prevent sluggishness, keeping your circulation and lymph systems moving.
DM me if you’re interested and I’ll be back with more details soon.

On #WorldMentalHealthDay, here are 5 ways to mental wellbeing the NHS recommends we do. Which can you fit in your life?

1. Connect with other people
Good relationships build a sense of belonging & self-worth, providing emotional support & help you to support others. Why not make plans to catch up with family, have lunch with a colleague or call an old friend?
🧑🏽‍🤝‍🧑🏼
2. Be physically active
Not only great for your physical health & fitness, being active improves your wellbeing by raising self-esteem & achieving goals or challenges. It boosts neurotransmitters in the brain that positively change your mood.
🚶🏻
3. Learn new skills
Learning new skills can improve mental wellbeing by boosting self-confidence, raising self-esteem, building sense of purpose & connecting with others.
It could be learning to cook a new recipe, tackling a DIY project, taking up a new sport, personal development, or learning a new language. Mastering new hobbies like painting, dancing & writing can bring joy, help you discover new talents & make new friends.
🎨

4. Give to others
Acts of giving & kindness can help improve mental wellbeing by creating positive feelings & a sense of reward, giving you a feeling of purpose, self-worth & help connect with others. It could be small acts of kindness, or larger ones like volunteering in your local community.

Giving back might include spending time with friends or relatives who need support or company, helping with DIY or volunteering in the community, such as helping at a school, hospital or care home.
🫱🏾‍🫲🏼
5. Pay attention to the present moment (mindfulness)
Paying more attention to the present moment improves mental wellbeing including your thoughts, feelings, body & world around you. Mindfulness can help you enjoy life more & understand yourself better. It can positively change how you feel about life & how you approach challenges.

A breast cancer diagnosis changes your world overnight. It can leave you wondering how to keep going, how to keep working, and how to take care of yourself at the same time.
The truth is, it doesn’t always mean stepping away from work before you’re ready. It does mean putting your wellbeing first, listening to your body, and finding a rhythm that supports your health, your energy and your sense of purpose.
Navigating work through treatment or recovery is a partnership between you, your medical team and your employer. Once you understand your diagnosis and treatment plan, you can start to think about what kind of support or adjustments you’ll need.
It helps to know your rights. In the UK, the Equality Act 2010 protects employees with cancer or chronic illness. That means time off for treatment, reasonable adjustments and protection from discrimination. You don’t have to face it alone or rush big decisions.
If you’re in this position, here are a few small things that can help:
1. Put your physical health first.
2. Know your contract and sickness policy.
3. Seek support from HR, Occupational Health or an Employee Assistance Programme if you have one.
4. Focus on what helps you keep contributing in a way that works for you.
5. Make space for rest, reflection and small moments of care.
Everyone is different and what matters is what’s right for you, so you can thrive with the right support to allow you to heal, stay connected and feel supported in both body and mind.

If you’re trying to quit, make this Stoptober the month you say goodbye to smoking and take back control.

You don’t need anyone to tell you the reasons and benefits of stubbing out for good. You already know it means better health, fresher breath, whiter teeth, cleaner, fresher smelling clothes and hair, reduced signs of ageing, and the chance to see your children and grandchildren grow up.

Smoking is a habit, not an addiction. With a bit of commitment, giving up is easier than you think. The most important thing is that you want to and are ready to do it.

Give me 10 days and I will help you transform your life when you decide it’s time to quit smoking.

ACTION PLAN: Preparation is key. We’ll start by understanding the facts and figures about your smoking habit and setting up a smoke-free zone for you to become a non-smoker.

HYPNOSIS: Our habits and beliefs about smoking are stored deep in our subconscious. Using hypnosis, we’ll access that part of the mind to create new healthy habits, leaving smoking in the past.

NEW WAYS OF BEING: You will create a clear vision of life as a non-smoker. I’ll give you tools to boost your willpower and relieve stress to support you along this new path.

CLIENT SUCCESS STORY: “I’m sleeping better and eating healthier. I have more energy, more money and love my smoke free home. What stood out to me what how far I was prepared to go in order to smoke. Once I realised how this did not align with who I am, quitting was easy.”

“I’m proud of what I’ve achieved and am very much looking forward to a healthy lifestyle. I feel more relaxed and better able to deal with life challenges.”

“Eliza is such a wonderful and caring therapist. She provided incredible support during my smoking cessation journey and was there every step of the way, Thanks to her, I am finally free from this habit and excited to embrace a healthier lifestyle. Highly recommended!”
