If someone had suggested to me a few years ago that I'd be running round a field chased by zombies and ghouls just outside Crawley I would have laughed.

Tulley's farm has put a lot of effort into providing entertainment for all at their spooktacular event that runs for two weeks of the year. I recommend it if you haven't been. Jonathan Ross was there enjoying it the other day. Not sure if I consider him more scary than the attractions!

My Kung Fu training is going well, I guess it helps having a 1:1 instructor. I love the challenge of learning the next section each week.

Hypnotherapy can help you with fear of the unknown, or to help improve your sporting performance using techniques like visualisation, focusing and relaxation.

I also think it's so important to link with other professionals. One of the things I have tried to do in the last few months is meet up with others in Sussex and London. A good network is such an important asset to any business. 

Sunday mornings are for reading the papers? Not for me. I headed up to central London to become part of the Matt Roberts team, massaging VIPs
after their 13 mile run round the great parks in London.

Luckily the weather gods provided the perfect running conditions. Not too hot, but a gorgeous sunny day. Trees with their autumnal colours looking like they’d been brushed on by a rainbow.

Bright and early I headed up to London hoping that the security guard would have my name on the list, luckily it was.

So who did I get to meet? Well the first person I bumped into was Ben Fogle, a lovely guy who you can’t help but slightly swoon over with that sexy voice and rugged good looks, his wife is stunning as well and what a lovely couple.
 
I heard earlier in the day that Matt Roberts was there leading a group of kids like a pied piper.  
 
So with my massage thumbs switched on, a steady stream on VIPs came onto the couches from 11am until we stopped around 2pm.
 
Celebrity runners this year included Katherine Jenkins, Jenni Falconer, Sophie Raworth, and Adam Woodyatt
(Ian from Eastenders).
 
I am most proud of Team Glamour from the Condé Nast Magazine group. I started working with a group from their editorial staff earlier in the year when most hadn’t even started to run. I felt like a proud Mum as they all came into the tent after completing their run. I would happily work with any of them again and they were raising money for a great cause, MIND, a charity involved in mental health problems.
 
It was definitely worth getting up bright and early to say I was part of this amazing experience and I would happily give up another day in the future if the opportunity arose.
 
What’s planned for this week? Tomorrow I’m off for my third Kung Fu 1:1 session. I absolutely love it.  I started to learn 15 years ago but work got in the way. Now as I am my own boss I can give myself time off to go!
 
Have a great week and don’t forget to ‘Pay it Forward’ if you get the chance.

Well it’s certainly been a week of ups and downs. I was beginning to feel like I’d been attached to a yo-yo. The week started off with a trip up to London, only to be told my client didn’t realise they were booked in! So I made use of the time and explore London on foot by walking back from Knightsbridge to Victoria.  It’s surprising how close everything really is when you start walking.

Also on a sad note for me, I lost a family pet, who had become a large part of the Wells family life. I think you only realise how much they affect you when they’re not there anymore. There’s that glance when you move the chair so as not to catch them with it, or that moment as you go to say goodbye as you walk out the door and you remember he’s not there. Who’s going to tidy the slippers left on the floor now!

I was lucky enough to have had the honour to share his life and for that I will always be grateful.
 
So what else have I been up  to?

This week saw me taking my second one-to-one lesson in Kung Fu with the Kung Fu School Crawley. Dave, my instructor, is very patient. I have learnt so much in the first couple of sessions. For me it’s a great new hobby. Kung Fu translates to ‘achievement of man’. It’s helping me focus on the fact that with time and energy, anything can be achieved.

You may be wondering what all this has to do with hypnotherapy or the other work that I do?

Hypnotherapy is one of many therapies that can help you through the stages of loss. Having someone to talk to when everything seems against you, is like trying to jump that eight foot wall but never quite reaching it, until a friendly pair of hands gives you a lift over.

Learning to relax and live in the moment, rather than dwelling on a past that cannot be changed, can be a life changing experience.

Let’s see what October’s got in store for us apart from Ghosts and Ghouls… Oh and of course my yearly trip out on my broomstick on the 31st!

I look forward to hearing from you.
