Daily Yoga
Start your morning practising Yoga surrounded by the positive ions of nature. Louise will be guiding you through your daily Yoga practice. A combination of Meditation to help focus the mind. Pranayama to stir your inner energies. Slow Flow Yoga, a moving meditation to warm up the body. Transitioning into a Yang dynamic practice to strengthen and energise. Finally cooling down with Yin Yoga, relaxation and Reiki. Our bodies need support in different ways, so modifications will be given as required. There will be an opportunity to do evening Yoga, this will consist of Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra and Reiki. Yin Yoga moves you deeper into the body, to the fascia, ligaments and bones. Combining Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as it pinpoints and stimulates meridian lines to promote the flow of Qi. Yoga Nidra, a guided meditation to move you into an alpha state of relaxed consciousness. During these sessions Louise will use Reiki to promote healing by unblocking stagnant energy leaving you totally blissed out.
Daily mindset coaching
You’ll learn how to clear the most common clusters of patterns and distortions in your use of language, imagination and relationship with your body / emotions that keep you stuck in survival mode. These sessions focus on empowerment (clear boundaries and ownership over one’s powers), liberating the self (over-coming the false self where what you do gets confused with who you are), embodying an attitude of optimism and building a healthy trust in yourself, others and the Universe.
All of these change processes calm down your nervous system so that we can awaken you to unlimited possibilities. Until we have cleared the stress/survival mode any desirable outcome that you come up with will come from that place/way of thinking. E.g. people who feel anxious want to feel calm or people who feel insecure want to feel confident – these are very limited outcomes, limited to what’s possible. This stage is crucial – it’s like building the foundations of a house – to feel safe enough if your body to move forward. If you skip this stage you’ll get stuck in your escape mechanisms: avoiding, procrastinating, unaligned actions / solutions etc. even if you do get some success, your subconscious WILL sabotage it in order to stay safe.
Session 1:
Coaching with me is about structure & how you create your own experiences - the meaning you attach (albeit often subconsciously) to the experiences you have. In this initial coaching session we’ll go deep and uncover HOW you create experiences, because the way you create 1 experience is often how you'll go on to create other experiences. I use a step-by-step process that covers the following:
Session 2: Building Response-ability
We start with ownership over our powers (response-ability), which takes away the feeling of powerlessness, over-responsibility and puts you in charge of your thoughts, feelings, communication and the actions you take.
Session 3: Liberating The Self
You'll learn how to separate who you are from what you do. Having a solid sense of self-worth that is independent from what other people say or do (or don’t say or do) as well as your successes and mistakes, is key to feeling safe as you move out into the world, the unknown and beyond your comfort zone.
Session 4: Building An Attitude Of Optimism
Then we focus on optimism, build permission to experience all kinds of emotions (sensations in our body) in a given situation and we clear the distortions of discounting, personalising, making things permanent and pervasive. Essentially, pessimism is about making the situation about you and then spreading it to all areas of our lives, forever. And we forget all the things we are already great at or that we can already count (which we call discounting). This pattern will also clear a general sense of dread, hopelessness and feeling low.
Session 5: Embodying Trust
The previous steps build a solid sense of safety, and next up is building trust. Trust in ourselves, the Universe, others and our goals. This process has proven to be incredibly powerful and often creates a strong positive emotional response. Along with the three previous processes, this builds a solid sense of inner safety and puts your body into the rest and relaxation state rather than fight/flight/freeze.
Session 6: Envisioning A New You
Once you have built a solid sense of inner safety, regardless of what is going on outside of you, you get to go through the process of awakening to your new, unlimited desired state. Here you learn to forget to put your attention on what you don't want, what you've been worrying about and instead step into the desired state that allows you to focus on completely different things.
Gemma Gilmour
Hi! I’m Gemma – a mum of 3, behaviour analyst and mindset coach dedicated to helping ambitious women step into their best selves to create a life they love. I help women break free from procrastination, perfectionism and the need for control through over-analysing, worst-case scenario thinking and incessant “what if”-ing. In my coaching sessions I teach how to reprogram your subconscious mind in a way that allows you can show up as the women you want to become. By the end of our time together you’ll be able to step into your full power and authority as you realise your own goals from a place of ease and joy. By focusing on change from the inside – out and using a blend of neuroscience, neurosemantics and quantum physics I provide a transformational coaching experience that addresses the entire mind-body-emotion-soul system. Coaching with me is about taking inspired action from a place of surrender; let go of ‘the how’ and allow things to come to you – mindset coaching will help make it all possible.
