Mental Health Struggles in the Spotlight: "So I seem to be talking about it a lot, and it just sort of sort of hits me, actually. And I hit rock bottom, you know, very depressed, Had a number of other sort of smaller things happen at the same time, which sort of compound it."

A Game-Changing Approach to Therapy: "I don't need to know what's happened to you to enable you to move forward."

Prioritizing Mental Health: "It's that that priority is prioritising mental health, and there are lots of things that we can do to do that."

The Power of Small Steps: "It's only about a small step because when you're in a bad place, you can't take a massive step. You just can't. You know, it's about those small, little, tiny steps."

Finding Yourself Through Creativity: "So one of my sorts of particular interests is, is in women actually who aren't reaching their potential. So, you know, we see so many women who are looking after everybody else and then suddenly they go, oh, where's me? Who am I, what am I gonna do?"

The Joy of Creative Workshops: "Because when you're painting, you know, you you go into flow. That's a phrase that most artists will recognize, which is a status of trance, really. You know, you're in that place where your brain is shut off that crazy part of the world is, you know, it's just focusing on what you're doing."

"Wellness Retreats": "I can do some retreats here for people for 2 or 3 days just to come do some therapy as well. So learn about how the brain works, do some art and do some walks and just, you know, thoroughly just have a time out of themselves to think about where they're going. Because I think that's something that I would have perhaps appreciated at some point."

Finding Purpose: "There's a lot of women out there who are just doing what they feel they should be doing and not what they really want to be doing."

The Life-Saving Power of Hypnotherapy: "Hypnotherapy and hypnosis has actually saved my life, I think, on 2 occasions. 1 was my major heart surgery, and then I was home for a few days and had a massive pulmonary embolism, so, you know, blood put in the lungs, which I shouldn't have survived. And I think because I was so calm, so I sort of self hypnotised myself again with that, the oxygen need didn't go up."

Undergoing Surgery with Hypnosis: "I had to have a lumpectomy, and I did that under self hypnosis with just local anesthetic. I had a surgeon who was prepared to do it rather than put me out. He was prepared to do it, and it was amazing because I was laughing and joking with all the staff in the operating theatre as he was cutting me open and I could help him."
