From the park to the Studio – exciting developments for Newton Mind Body Spirit

From the park to the studio – exciting new beginnings for Newton Mind Body Spirit

Newton Mind Body Spirit has long been a sanctuary for those seeking harmony, wellness, and rejuvenation. What started as a small community gathering in the parks of Newton-le-Willows has now blossomed into a thriving movement, and it is poised for yet another milestone. The transition from the open spaces of the park to the refined embrace of a dedicated studio signals a new chapter, one filled with promise, growth, and innovation.

Classes are held every Saturday morning 9am till 10am at Newton Fitness Studio, Wargrave Road to help build strength, improve flexibility and enjoy a mindful start to your weekend – come rain or shine. How to book on is via the Facebook page, email or direct message or phone call.

But that’s not all……

I have been receiving amazing feedback from hypnotherapy customers, especially parents of primary school children who have had hypnotherapy sessions for anxiety.  It’s incredibly rewarding to know that our support has helped children feel calmer and more confident in today’s fast-paced, often overwhelming world.  Anxiety among children seems to be on the rise, and I’m proud to offer a gentle, effective service that truly makes a difference.  You can read some of these heartfelt testimonials right here on the website.

Our services are growing….and so are we!

We are offering to include holistic retreat days, combining Pilates, reiki, meditation, soul led hypnotherapy for a powerful subconscious re-set, journaling, sound bath healing and mindfulness – all designed for deep connection, self-love and to give you lasting impact beyond our day together.

And from July 2025 I will also be offering Theta Healing – a transformative energy healing technique that works with the subconscious to shift limiting beliefs and support emotional well-being.

Whether you’re seeking hypnotherapy in the comfort of your own home or prefer a convenient online session, I offer flexible options to suit your needs.

Thank you for being part of this journey, every class, every message and testimonial means the world.  I can’t wait to welcome you to a session soon – indoors, online or at one of our calming retreats.

Unlocking Your Potential

Unlock Your Potential to the mind body connection with hypnotherapy

We often hear the phrase ‘healthy mind, healthy body’ but what does it actually mean?

This is not just a catchy slogan, it reflects a profound truth about the interconnectedness of our mental and physical well-being.  Our thoughts, emotions and beliefs have a significant impact on our physical health.  Chronic stress for example can weaken the immune system, contribute to heart disease and disrupt sleep patterns.  On the flip side, positive mental states can boost our immune response, improve cardiovascular health and enhance overall vitality.  Hypnotherapy bridges the gap, it offers a powerful approach to cultivating a healthier mind and body by accessing the subconscious mind we can reduce stress and anxiety.

Reduce stress & anxiety – Hypnotherapy can help you develop relaxation techniques to manage stress responses and alleviate anxiety symptoms.

Improve sleep quality – Hypnotherapy can improve sleep quality and address underlying issues that contribute to insomnia such as racing thoughts or negative self-talk.

Manage pain – Hypnotherapy can help you reframe your perception of pain, reduce pain sensitivity and promote relaxation.

Cultivate Healthy habits – Whether it is stopping smoking, improving diet eg; stop eating sugar, nail biting, sports performance, overcoming self limiting beliefs, hypnotherapy can help by tapping into the subconscious mind, the part that governs our habits, emotions and behaviours.

During the session you will be in a completely relaxed state of focused attention where you are more receptive to positive suggestions to help rewire negative thought patterns and replace self-criticism with self-compassion and develop healthy coping mechanisms, manage stress effectively and access your inner resilience, strength and healing potential.

Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool, as you can see from the reviews of those who fully committed to this underestimated service, it really is a game changer.

The Human Brain

THE HUMAN BRAIN

Let’s talk about the Brain and how it works and how it affects our daily lives…..

Did you know that the human brain grows so fast that as a child reaches the age of six years old their brain is 90% complete of its adult size?

As adults we have over 60 trillion neural connections in one person, this is a huge amount and explains why we humans are capable of processing complex information very quickly.

Research says that when people learn new things they have new experiences, they will begin to make new synapses in the brain and flourish a growth of new neurons.

If you think the same thoughts every single day (80-90% of people do), your biology, neural chemistry, hormones and gene expression is equal to how you think, how you act and how you feel.  Everything will stay the same in the body and you will stay the same!

When you experience something new all 5 of your senses tune you into the environment, all that sensory information is relayed back to your brain, millions of neurons organise themselves into patterns and networks.  The limbic brain begins to make a chemical, a feeling or emotion, so when you feel abundant you know you have taught your body to understand what your mind has understood, so you have changed your mind and body in some way.  When you create that new experience over and over, you will condition your mind and body to begin to work as one (mind, body, soul).

So, get busy, learning something new, read a new book, do a daily crossword, go to a new place, take a new route to work, meditate, eat new food, learn a language, do a puzzle……get creative and make new neurons, health is wealth.

I have signed up for two new courses on brain development and advanced CBT, I have signed up for a charity swim too, I’d like new neurons after learning that after the age of 35 you’re brain loses volume at a rate of 0.2% each year.  After the age of 60, this more than doubles and the brain shrinks by 0.5% annually.  Blimey, being in my fifties now is more crucial to keep busy, keep active and creative,  I better get a swim training schedule organised.

Your thoughts can affect your brain, body, mind and life.
