Techniques used:
NLP (Neuro Linguistic
Programming)
NLP – Neuro-Linguistic Programming
These
are a collection of techniques that use the brain’s (neuro) own language
(linguistic) to change reactions, patterns and behaviors.
This is a great choice for clients who for whatever reason prefer not to
go into a formal trance. It is also
great for changing negative or overreaction reaction to stimuli, such as
phobias, and it provides a great way to address difficult childhood experiences
without spending years in therapy recalling the pain & grief of those times.
Here’s an example of how it works.
If I ask you what color your car is or whether your car needs a wash.
(Answer the question) You may not be immediately aware but you access a mental
picture of your car. This is what I
mean by the language of the brain – the brain stores information in pictures,
sounds, smells, etc. Now if you
like your car and thinking of it makes you happy we can move that mental picture
to right in front of your face & make it large & colorful.
On the other hand if you don’t like thinking about your car we can push
the image off to the side or make it a much smaller & less intrusive image.
If you are actually trying this experiment you will be surprised to
notice that your feelings change as you move the image of the car.
The smaller image decreases your feelings of pressure or repulsion while
the larger image increases your feelings of joy & pride.
And that’s a taste of how NLP works.
A hypnotherapy session involves a discussion of the goals and issues to
be addressed and definition of success, followed by induction of a trance.
During the trance the hypnotherapist makes suggestions for success then
the client is brought back out of trance. This
is the standard procedure but the technique I use differs somewhat, depending on
the issues to be addressed. After
the induction of trance I like to give voice to the subconscious.
During trance the subconscious is able to communicate with the conscious
mind and can often pinpoint the true issues underlying habits, pain, and disease
it can also suggest the changes necessary for healing.
Often such an experience is so powerful that no further suggestions from
the hypnotherapist are needed. The
patient has just led herself to the cause and cure of her own issue or disease!
This work combines training as a Craniosacral therapist, Reiki Master, Counselor and Psychic. In this relaxing and healing bodywork Tolley speaks to the body directly and is able to perceive a voice from every organ, bone, muscle and system in the body. Acting as counselor she allows the various parts of the body to express themselves, release any stored emotion and find real solutions to ailments of any kind. The body itself directs the healing and locates the underlying causes. Nothing is incurable! This is not diagnosing and treating disease in the traditional allopathic sense. The focus is on solutions and healing. This is especially effective therapy for syndromes and conditions with unknown or undiscovered causes. It is excellent preparation for surgery and speeds recovery. If you could ask your body exactly what it needed to cure itself wouldn’t you do it? Well, now you can.
Personal coaching is a lot like therapy or counseling only with the focus
on finding solutions not just exploring the past.
The client is asked a series of questions that lead him or her to come up
with a model of success and strategies for reaching it.
A certain amount of personal coaching is involved in every session but it
can make up the whole of the session in some situations. Its very powerful stuff but doesn’t have to be drawn out
emotional experience that counseling or therapy often is.
For years, though I did not advertise my work as a psychic, word-of-mouth has this the fastest growing part of my practice. It is also the most fun! It's time that I let the general public know that I am available for psychic readings. During a reading I first speak directly with the spirit guides (guardian spirits or angels) and invite them to tell the client what is most important at this time. I also invite any ghosts (deceased ancestors or relatives & others) who may have something they’d like to communicate. Then I allow for question and answer time. If you’d like a more specific reading on a certain area of your life or have particular concerns that can also be done. I am happy to do group readings too. Please know that what comes up in a reading is often very personal so choose your group carefully.
Many of us have experienced trauma in birth, infancy and childhood that created limitations and dissatisfaction in our lives even as adults. These traumatic events may have been physical, emotional, psychological or spiritual in nature. Frequently what has happened on a spiritual level is that part of the self has not been able to grow beyond its age at the time of trauma. Rebirthing repeats the process from conception through birth, childhood and aging, this time providing the nurturing, protection, and resources that were needed to overcome the trauma you faced. When the ‘missing part’ has reached the natural age of the person receiving treatment it is then reunited and the self becomes whole again. Rebirthing often gives people a ‘new lease on life’ and many problems one never even associated with the childhood trauma are resolved in the process.
Reiki is a very gentle form of energy healing.
It can be done by hands-on or at a distance.
It works to focus the energy of the patient’s body as well as positive
energy from the universe to the area that needs healing or support. While it is gentle, most recipients experience sensations of
warmth or tingling or may see visions of the areas that are being healed or
other healing imagery. The effects
likewise can be instantaneous or gradual but always gentle.
Even when instant results are noted healing continues over days and weeks
after the session.
Reiki heals the whole person. If
a patient comes for relief of a headache, a vascular disorder, an intestinal
disorder or a toxified liver may be causing that headache.
Though the healer’s hands may be placed on the client’s head the
healing energy goes to the liver (or other organs) as well.
If the client has other diseases the energy will act on them too, whether
or not she has mentioned them to the healer.
Shamanic healing is the earliest and most essential form of healing.
Anthropologists have found shaman in indigenous cultures the world over
who practice this healing art in almost identical form, though the cultures have
had no contact with one another. The
reason for this phenomenon is simply because it works, it is real.
Rather than begin with the physical body, shamanic healing begins with
the spiritual bodies of a person to locate the deep-seated cause of disease.
By removing the cause on this deep ethereal level the shaman frees the
physical, mental, and emotional bodies to heal naturally. While the shamanic session may be dramatic the healing
is often subtle though distinct. That
is to say, it doesn’t hurt. Tolley conducts shamanic healing in person or at a
distance so it can be used for loved one’s in a hospital or hospice care.
Shamanic healing is only undertaken with permission.
