I have qualifications in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Time Line Therapy (TLT), Hypnotherapy and Reiki. I have exposure to (and have dabbled in) many natural therapies over the years including Chinese Herbs, Homeopathy, Kinesiology, Naturopathy, Acupuncture, Chiropractic, Massage (of various types), Iridology, Essential Oils, Gems and Reflexology.
