MIND • BODY • SOUL

I’m Josephine Blackburn, Hello

You’re probably here because you’ve been struggling with something, or perhaps you’re simply looking for some time and attention for yourself, and you’re wondering if I can help.

Let me tell you a little more about me, and then maybe we can talk.

From Beauty & Holistic Therapy to Hypnotherapy

I’ve been helping people find care and confidence as a beauty and holistic therapist for over 36 years.

The feeling you get after taking some time and attention for yourself is something I’ve always been pleased to offer. I believe caring for ourselves is important for our mind, body and soul.

My journey began with beauty therapy, but over the years my work naturally developed to include a wide range of relaxing, therapeutic, beauty and holistic treatments. I qualified in 1990 from The Park School of Beauty Therapy in Retford before working in a city salon in Bath and the ‘original’ Champneys in Tring. In 1993 I came back home and became a Mobile Beauty business, working around Northamptonshire.

Since qualifying from the Park School, I have continued to develop my knowledge and skills, adding Reflexology, Monu skincare, Indian Head Massage, Bamboo Massage, Orly Gel FX, Lash Lift with tint, Hopi Ear Candling, Crystal
Healing and HypnoReiki to my repertoire.

Then something happened that complimented the direction of my work.

I’m a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist Because I Want to Help You Find Your Way

When I experienced the benefits of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy in my life, I realised I wanted to be able to provide a more lasting confidence and change.

Having qualified as a hypnotherapist, I continue to train with new techniques which enable me to provide new therapeutic services. When I experienced the Mind Reboot program, I realised I had changed, the sessions cleared concerns which I had felt were stuck – I was no longer being held back.

This is why I trained to support you with the Mind Reboot program, giving you the same opportunity for cleansing which has made such a difference to me.

“[Jo’s] Mind Reboot program has helped me discover and deal with things that have been holding me back… my anxiety has literally left the building.” JB

Life Changing

I went to a hypnotherapist to help me deal with struggles in my own life. I had problems in my relationship and – as a wife, parent and business owner – I realised I was becoming overwhelmed with stress and anxiety. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy changed my life.

The tools I learnt from my hypnotherapist helped me as my life moved on then, when a further difficult year hit me, I went back to hypnotherapy knowing I would find the answers I needed. That was when I realised one of the answers was to learn more.

It’s All About You – Mind, Body and Soul

Understanding how hypnotherapy can support anyone who’s having a difficult journey, I realised I wanted to know more. I wanted to help more.

As a beauty therapist I’d listened to a lot of stories. I knew that many others needed the tools I’d been given, so I trained to provide the support they needed.

I share in my blog, how I’ve always shown The Caring Side of Me in giving to others.

Already having a place which provided safe and calm to my clients, being able to give them the tools to take that peace home with them was the next step.

When you visit my private treatment room, my focus is completely on you and what brought you to this space. We’ll explore your feelings and – most importantly – your desires for your future, giving you the opportunity to create that future in your own life with tools and techniques to use in any situation.

“I have been a long-term sufferer of depression. I have trouble sorting negatives from positives and tend to bury myself in a hole or upset a lot of people along the way. I was fascinated to learn about the brain and why I do the things I do. Jo is calming, professional and a great listener and I personally have come such a long way with her therapy. My sleep is better, my mood is better, and I let go of things to be that better person. I can’t thank you enough.” Pamela
