I began my own emotional healing training when studying Councelling at Vaughan College in Leicester. Like many people going to study this subject, I was drawn there by a wish to understand more about others, and a need to understand myself and my reactions to my own past experiences. 

As I learnt about emotional healing I gained more understanding of other people’s reactions to stress, loss and trauma in their lives.

By allowing my clients to explore their past I began to help them to release fear, anger and resentment. Giving them more control over their own lives and helping them to begin to look forward, towards a brighter future.

I have been teaching and practicing Reiki & Seichem for over 12 years and enjoy the quiet peaceful loving energy it brings me into contact with. It is more than what I do – it part of who I am.

I have now trained as an NLP Master Practitioner - this has a lovely philosophy of acceptance of others and self behind it and allows me to use tools for emotional healing that are really powerful.

I have run self development groups of many kinds over the last 10 years and also taught college courses. The subjects have included assertiveness, goal setting, guided meditation and NLP Techniques.

Rhymes of Life 
by Wendy Dunning

 

What would happen if instead Of all the negative stuff We filled up our thoughts With forgiveness and love If we let go expectations And chose only peace If anger and pain We choose to release If we looked for the laughter And noticed the joy Blessed all the good things In each girl and boy If we could – and we did Would the messages spread And it alter the world At some point far ahead? ------------------------- Don’t hold me back Don’t hold me down Don’t tell me not to go I’m following my heart this time  I really have to know Who it is I will become When I’m allowed to grow

The past is behind you You cannot return From every event  There is something to learn The future before you It’s coming your way It may end tomorrow So start it today ---------------------------------- Believe in yourself And what you can do It’s the first step To a future that’s new You do have a right To be happy and whole So choose with your heart And make that your goal -------------------- You can change your thoughts They're yours to change or keep Although you may not know them For they are buried deep It depends on what you’ve learnt Until this present day And who it was that taught you To think your current way  You can change your thinking Change a few thoughts every day As you read this you are learning And the old thoughts fade away
