About The Lighthouse
I’m Jan.
Hypnotherapist, Reiki practitioner, and someone who has found their own way back from the dark more than once.
My story
I didn’t come to this work from a calm life. I came to it from the other end.
I have been through more than I will ever put on a website. A traumatic childhood, years of addiction, and a long road back. I have been clean for over twenty years now, and everything I offer you, I did on myself first.
I would never put anything in front of a client that I had not tried, tested and felt the good of myself.
The turning point
The menopause didn’t take my periods. It took me.
Nobody warns you that it takes more than your periods. Towards the end of mine I disassociated from my own body. I stopped recognising the person answering to my name. There were some very dark days.
One night I sat at my PC and typed “courses in Manchester” into a search bar, because I wanted my head back and I did not know what else to do. The first thing that came up was hypnotherapy. It has quite honestly taken over my life since, and it is the reason I do what I do.
It changed everything. Not overnight, but properly, from the inside out.
How I work
Every session moves through four stages
My signature session, Hypno-ki, brings hypnotherapy and Reiki energy work together. There is a little Reiki in every session I offer, and a lot more of it in a Hypno-ki.
Settle. A white light body scan to let your body come all the way down.
Speak. Gentle, repeated suggestion working with your subconscious mind.
Realign. My hands and their warmth moving through your energy centres.
Seal. A tuning fork at the end, bringing your whole body back into tune.
You come out of any of my sessions floating. I ask every client to clear the rest of the day, because the healing keeps working at a deep level for around twenty-four hours.
What matters to me
You are always in control
It takes a lot of trust to come into a session with me, and I never take that lightly. We talk first, you ask me anything you like, and nothing starts until you feel ready. You stay aware the whole time, and if you ever want to come back to the room you simply open your eyes and wiggle your fingers. You cannot be made to do anything against your will.
If I can find my way back from the darkest place a person can imagine, I can help you find your way back too. That is the whole point of The Lighthouse.
