HOLISTIC COMMUNICATION
As a holistic practitioner (whether qualified or in training) you've invested time, money and energy into developing a unique set of skills - unique because it's a synthesis of the knowledge and techniques you develop in your training and your own personal experiences which you bring to the therapeutic relationship.
You understand the importance of the individual and you inspire people to make changes in their life, to connect with their inner resources and to become empowered. In helping others it can become all too easy for holistic practitioners to neglect their own needs. Part of your development towards excellence in your field may be to overcome some of your own barriers and thus accelerate your own journey to empowerment.
During my own training in various holistic therapies (therapeutic massage, aromatherapy, shiatsu) I noticed that many students were stressed at the thought of producing essays or written coursework or dissertations. Some very skilled therapists actually dropped out because they couldn't face writing dissertations or felt they were not good at exams. Some were nervous about giving presentations. Others dreaded practical assessments and exams because they imagined themselves getting nervous and not being able to connect with their practice client or forgetting everything they had learned.
I have followed a parallel career path in both teaching and complementary medicine. As a teacher of English for Academic Purposes (Academic Writing, Presentations and Study skills and intercultural communication skills) for 20 years at Manchester University and in academic institutions in Europe, the Far East and Middle East, I have the skills and experience to help you develop your academic skills.
As a practising Master Practitioner of NLP and hypnotherapist, I can help you relax and enjoy the process of learning so that you learn easily and develop your confidence and motivation.
So you can be confident that you'll get the best of both worlds and enjoy a holistic approach to teaching - which may be very different from what you've experienced before.
Holistic Communications now offers you a series of workshops to help you remove the barriers to your own success and empower you.
When you attend a workshop you will
