About Me

My name is Gillian, and to go into a bit more about me and my background, I am qualified in Hypnosis and a Reiki Master. I did my training at the SICHP Glasgow and I did my Reiki training through Reiki Evoloution and Margaret Craig in Glasgow.
Before that I originally trained in Beauty Therapy at the Park School of Beauty Therapy in Retford. I am listed on the Hypnotherapist Register . You can visit my other site Health and Beauty Treatments.com
My passion is an interest in the mind n body connection and how it works which takes me back to my childhood. My mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia when I was born.
Growing up with her was a challenge I didn't have many friends as I was afraid to let them meet my mum because when she was having a bad day, she really had a bad day. But looking back I am so grateful for having experienced it all. I wouldn't be the person I am today otherwise...
Anyway my mum taught me so much and I love her to bits, she was one of my greatest teachers. Unfortunately my mum died in 2000 and that nearly destroyed me as at the time I had just split up from my ex in the January and had to move to an area where I didn't know anyone and get a job.
Money was very tight, and I had no one to talk to at night, I did spend a lot of nights crying. I had family but they had their own problems and we weren't that close so I did feel alone.
When my mum died in the August it hurt deep down like someone had ripped out my heart, I guess I can say I had a broken heart. But slowly I pulled myself out of the dark hole I was in. I realised something about me and it was this I am a fighter, I never give up and where there's a will there's always a way.
So really my journey has been interesting and with all the knowledge I gained and working with the public since I was 14 gave me great insight into the different personalities, differing opinions and the power of the mind.
Another things about me is my Beauty Therapy background I was working closely on a one to one basis and clients would tell me things they wouldn't even tell their own families.
I was making them feel good on the outside e.g. getting their skin better, removing facial hair doing their feet when they are finding it hard to do at home etc.
I didn't realise at the time what this was doing to the body inside, comments I got were they felt that when the treatment was done they were floating etc.
A lot of people can't understand how my beauty background is relevant but all I can say is I was making people look good on the outside and this made them feel good on the inside, which is what hypnosis is about feeling good in the inside, being positive, happy, feeling love for yourself and others etc.
Also with the beauty clients I got to discover the amount of people on anti depressants, people who had cancer, grieving for a loved one, lack of confidence, unable to relax was a big one and so much more.
Them coming to me, looking forward to their pampering, making that connection was great and that's what it is all about...

I soon came to realise how powerful the mind was and what happens when things get out of control. So I started a personal journey to try to find out more, more about me and the mind, everything. I happened to be on you tube and somehow came across Dr Wayne Dyer, who was a really excellent speaker.
His words "when you change the way you look at things the things you look at change"...were ringing true to me. It worked I was really seeing things differently.. He calls himself and N.L.P: No Limit Person and I liked that and that is what we should all be striving for. So he and others led me on the journey of Learning Hypnosis.

The other thing about me is I love knowledge and helping others. I wanted to share with you what I have learned so far with the mind and hypnosis..You will soon realise how to be living a positive life..
So I hope you have enjoyed my about me page and I also hope it may inspire you in some way, I do understand a lot of feelings which people go through as I have been there myself and you will find out more about me on my other pages where I am sharing more stories about me and my outlook etc on life.
