Do you ever wish you could just switch off?
If you're finding it hard to relax nowadays, you're not the only one...
Hello!
I'm Hannah, and meditation has got me through some of the toughest times. I used to be a constant worrier, completely unable to switch off, and the relentless chatter eventually made my life a misery. I knew I had to try and find a way to quiten my mind, so I tried a meditation class.
It helped enormously, not just learning how to allow myself to find some inner peace, but because I was joining like minded people. Meditation is much easier in a group, and I'm still friends with people I learned to meditate with many years ago.
Many of us are struggling to cope at the moment. In my hypnotherapy practice I see people of all ages who feel like they're on the verge of a mental health crisis. They feel fragile, isolated and unable to process their emotions. I see a need to help build resilience both through meditation and kinship, and that's why I've launched these Quiet Mind meetups. Eventually I'd love to see them running in schools, prisons and hospitals, but let's start here and see where it goes.
There are so many health benefits that come with meditation, and a small investment now could save you thousands in therapy fees in future! It also cultivates compassion for ourselves and others, and in these turbulent times we could all do with more of that!
So please just try one session. I'm sure you'll want to come back for more, and as a 'thank you' for reading this, you can download my free self compassion meditation by clicking the button below.

What is Meditation?
Have you ever done something and then realised you didn't remember doing it?
Whether you're getting dressed in the morning, or driving a familiar route and forgetting how you got there, it was all driven by your subconscious mind. Every time you do something automatically, without thinking about it, your brainwaves shift into a meditative state. It's completely normal, and you already know how to do it! You just might not know how to make it work for you yet.
Focussed meditation is an ancient practice which enables each of us to access our inner peace at any time. There are a number of different forms, and once you get started you'll find that you prefer some to others. In Quiet Mind we alternatate between silent and guided meditations, but we also explore other ways to meditate at home.
In meditation we start by sitting in a comfortable position and settling into quietness. Allowing ourselves to be quiet means we can become more aware of our thoughts as an observer, rather than becoming caught up in them and letting them affect the way we feel. Instead of trying actively to empty the mind of all thoughts, we simply allow them to come and go. When we allow thoughts to leave, they become much less able to trigger negative emotions, and the mind starts to steady itself.
What Does Meditation Actually Do?
We know that meditation builds mental and emotional resilience, and can deepen spiritual faith if you have one, but how? Studies have shown that it shrinks the part of the brain that triggers anxiety, and strengthens the part that regulates calm. It can also reduce high blood pressure, improve sleep quality and help you to cope with chronic pain.
Many people at the top of their game in business or sport meditate!
About Me
In my early teens I found myself stuck with a chronic illness that the NHS couldn't help me with. I recovered with help from some amazing 'alternative' practitioners, who inspired me to follow in their footsteps. I qualified in Rei-Ki in 1992 when I was 16 and went on to study the advanced level for my 18th birthday. In 1999 I graduted from Middlesex University with a degree in Wetern Herbal Medicine, after 4 years of study. In 2022 I fulfilled a lifetime's ambition and qualified as an Advanced Hypnotherapist, so now I can work on all aspects of illness at the same time. That means I can get to the root causes of your health issues fast, and I totally love my job!
I'm currently studying natal and medical astrology. They give fascinating insights into your personality, and what's going on with your health.
I'm a member of the National Institute of Medical Herbalists, the General Hypnotherapy Register, and I'm the Shropshire Ambassador for the Herb Society.
What Happens in a Quiet Mind Session?
You'll be given a warm welcome and we start with a 20-30 minute meditation. This might be silent, or guided where we use imagination using all 5 senses.
After the meditation, we simply enjoy a cup of tea and a chat. We will have a theme for the session, but you're free to talk about literally anything. We create a welcoming space where everyone is safe to share without judgment.
Quiet Mind is not a therapy group, but meditation with like-minded people does help to nurture good mental health. If you're a hugger, hugs are freely available too.

Mental Health Is Not Just About Mental Health!
There are also physical reasons why our mental health can suffer, and it's just as important that we address these. Genetic anomalies, hormone imbalances, poor nutrition/gut health and physical trauma can all have a huge impact on us mentally. Herbal medicine can offer the body the resources it needs to become healthy again and I'd be happy to explain more about how it works.

Astrology - The Fastest Way To Fall in Love With Yourself
Author Louise Hay said "When we love ourselves, everything in our life works", and I've certainly noticed the same. The question is, how easy is it for you to love yourself?
This is why astrology is so brilliant! Looking at your birth chart is like reading your own user manual. You can see that you have no design flaws, understand yourself better, and start to truly love the incredible person you are.
Why not start with a 'Cosmic Snapshot' mini reading, which covers 5 key areas? It's only £65 and I just need your date, place and time of birth to introduce you to yourself.
Physic Health Consulting was set up in 2012 to serve women who were struggling with menopause and unable to take HRT. It's still thriving, and offering a unique service to cancer survivors in particular.
