Stress
I recently had a very important interview coming up which I had to attend with my managing director and I knew that virtually all the questions would be directed at me, so I would have to be totally confident and knowledegable. No pressure then!
Not having done anything like this before, I was feeling extremely nervous about the whole thing and wasn't sure I could cope with the pressure. Following a recommendation, I went to see Jacquie two days before the interview. WOW! She was brilliant. Jacquie used a mix of NLP, hypnosis, EFT and Reiki. After just one session I was so calm and serene - Jacquie also gave me some simple exercises to do the next day and, on the morning of the interview, I felt wonderful and knew everything would go well.
Suffice to say that we got the contract; the managing director was delighted and acknowledged the work I had done and the difference I had made.
I have seen Jacquie since for other things and recommend her to everyone now - she has turned my life around in so many ways.
Please do yourself a huge favour and make an appointment to see Jacquie just as soon as you can, no matter what it is for. She is an earth angel and we all need angels in our lives.

Depression
I had been struggling for a long time with lethargy, depression and a general lack of motivation. I had heard about NLP and decided to give it a try. I found the techniques and hypnosis CDs Jacquie provided very helpful. Jacquie's warmth and encouragement really helped me and in the months since, I have had more energy and generally felt more optimistic than I have done for a long time.

Golf
I have been a keen golfer for many years and had maintained a handicap of between 3 and 4 without much problem. For the past year I had been struggling badly with my short game, so much so that my handicap had crept up to 6. By this stage I was at the end of my golfing tether! Having heard that many professional players had consulted a mind coach of some description, and although being a born sceptic, I decided it was worth a try and sought out Jacquie's help.
After only 1 session my regular golfing partner described the improvement in both my mind set and approach during our game as "miraculous". I had one more session with Jacquie and in the space of 2 months my handicap is now back down to 4.
I would urge anybody to put their scepticism behind them and give it a try - I still don't understand how it works but I DO understand a 2 shot reduction in my handicap!

Fear, Confidence, Anxiety
I want to say thank you for the kindness and help you provided over the two sessions of NLP.
I had severe problems with fear, lack of confidence and anxiety. I talked, a lot, and felt safe and secure in telling Jacquie my fears. She taught me techniques to help immediately and over time. Yoga breathing, tapping therapy, visualization, and being honest with myself that I did need support.
I didnt need to be perfect or work myself till I dropped nobody was expecting this, only me.
It all seems common sense now but at the time the fear was so strong i couldnt stop this runaway train.
I would recommend Jacquie Campbell as an NLP provider she is kind, empathic, non-judgemental, and puts you immediately at ease. She is practical as well as full of soul and gave me and my family the real ME back.
We are so independent nowadays that I feel we sometimes forget that everybody needs a non-partisan person, at times, to talk to who bears no grudges, isn't judging you or has a personal axe to grind.
I got rid of a lot of the worries and anxieties bothering me and put them into perspective and their proper place.
I can't change the past or predict the future all I can do is live today and enjoy all of it's highs and lows and learn to be kind to myself most of all. Jacquie taught me that if I don't look after myself, be kind to myself then how can I help any one else in my private and professional life.
Once again Jacquie I thank you.
With respect, appreciation and gratitude.

Confidence & Anxiety
Hi Jacquie, After a couple of sessions with you for various anxieties I definitely feel such an improvement in myself. I have now allowed myself to be confident like I always knew I could be and learnt the methods you passed on that I am now using daily as tools. I feel that I have given myself permission to just get on with my life instead of being bogged down by irrational thoughts and lack of confidence. Coming to see you was definitely the right thing for me to do.
I was talking to a friend of mine about it last night, I was explaining to her how it helped me so much so am pleased too that I can pass on the info to other people.
As for my driving, that is totally fine, I was always holding back and felt almost jealous that other people were out there getting on with their lives. So now I'm grand, I am really fine with driving anywhere at all and it's not an obstacle for me anymore. I actually enjoy it and have now found that it's a really good time for me to relax and do nothing but concentrate on one thing (the driving) and that "time out" helps me when I'm on my way to a meeting etc.
I haven't flown so much since I saw you last, but I don't feel that build up of worry that I get when I know I'm off to the airport, because I know how to slow my over active mind down and just keep calm. I've definitely improved! There is no way that I would let that control me to the point that I wouldn't get in a plane! So now I'm looking forward to a girly weekend away in Germany and the thought of flying is an adventure now instead of a big black cloud that I have to worry about.

Chronic Pain
I had been bed-ridden with chronic back pain and sciatica for nearly 3 months and was unable to sit at all, walk or stand for long periods of time. I had been prescribed such strong painkillers that I was sleeping for sometimes 36hr stretches and this was the only time I had any relief from the pain.
Jacquie offered to try some Reiki on my back and I agreed, as I was desperate for anything that could relieve the pain. I had never had Reiki before and wasn't entirely sure if I understood - or believed - how it worked, so I remained reserved prior to the treatment. The treatment itself was the most strange experience I've ever had - I couldn't see what Jacquie was doing but was aware of nothing unusual until she reached my lower back area when suddenly I could feel a very warm sensation in my lower spine and the top of my left leg where there was the most pain, and then again the heat from my left ankle - again an area where I was suffering as a result of the sciatica.
As Jacquie was not physically placing her hands on me at all I found the heating sensations quite surprising. Jacquie then worked on my front and once again I felt the heat when her hands were above the painful areas and this time I seemed to lose all feeling of my feet and felt like I was floating above the bed. I really didn't know what to think of the experience but at the end of the session Jacquie asked me to slowly get up, drink some water and see how I felt. I am still baffled as to how this happened, but with almost immediate effect all pain I had felt before the treatment had totally disappeared and I felt very light-headed.
After Jacquie left I floated around the house for a bit and then I began to develop more energy than I had felt in well over 3 months and this energy lasted well over a week. From the very next day I was able to go out for a walk for nearly 30 minutes, stand upright and I didn't have to take any of my dreadful painkillers during this time. Just by being able to get mobile again, I managed to keep walking every day and build up strength and start to be able to stay out of bed and in 6 weeks I was back to work again.
Throughout the treatment Jacquie was extremely professional, very calm and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I am a complete convert to the power of Reiki (although I still don't know how it works). I just wish I had called Jacquie sooner.

Inspiration
I've consulted Jacquie on a number of occasions, on a number of things and I have been very impressed with her. Jacquie immediately puts you at your ease and is easy to talk to, she does not judge or patronise you, and is a very good listener, picking up both the spoken and unspoken - very intuitive.
I also think that she is very inspirational and this is a requirement for me when seeking help. Jacquie really is a very good soul, is very congruent and has a genuine desire to help people - a real angel.

Inspiration
Jacquie instantly makes you feel at ease, she has such a presence and it immediately puts you in a good mood. She is so passionate about what she does and that comes across in her treatments.
I have had two treatments and I will keep going back for more - I felt amazing afterwards and have recommended her to all my friends and family - Thanks Jacquie!

Cravings and Weight Loss
Hi Jacquie,
It was lovely to meet you last week and learn about EFT. It certainly is a fascinating subject!!
Thanks also for the information you sent though - I've been practising the technique on myself over the past few days and am finding a huge difference in the way I'm thinking and feeling about myself.
I feel much more in control of the cravings I told you about, but more importantly, the whole weight issue has shrunk (no pun intended!) and I feel a lot more satisfied with the way I look at the moment. I still want to reach my target weight, but as you said, I'll do it by focusing on how I'll get there step by step and believing that I can, rather than dwelling on the frustration of why it hasn't been working.
I've also been using the technique to help with some of the emotional stress I've been feeling as a result of my recent break-up. Again, I can honestly say that it's giving me quite a new perspective on things. It feels like I'm getting back a little bit more mental 'breathing space', if you know what I mean?!?
Anyway, thanks again for teaching me this wonderful technique.

Stop Smoking
After finding out about the success of hypnotherapy for stopping smoking from a family member, I decided to give it a shot as I really wanted to quit but was beginning to think I would probably smoke for the rest of my life.
Jacquie made the session very relaxed and I really enjoyed getting a lot of things off my chest, not just about smoking. I was guided through each stage slowly and controlled, and found the whole experience very interesting. I left feeling like a weight had been lifted and in hopeful anticipation of the results.
I have been smoke-free for over a month now and have not been tempted once to fall into the trap again. I feel a lot more positive and in control of my life and would thoroughly recommend hypnotherapy and Positive Living to anyone.

Weight Loss
I recently visited Jacquie for help with weight loss. I knew all the things I should do in order to lose weight but doing them was another matter. I felt I needed someone to help me get motivated to change my view about food and eating it rather than going on yet another diet. The moment I speak or think that word I want all the things that are forbidden on most diets.
My 2 hours with Jacquie have changed my relationship with food. I love cooking and eating and socialising around meals but I can now enjoy food without consuming more of it than my body needs. I have lost 1 stone in about 6 weeks, almost without noticing. I haven't been dieting, I ate chocolate at Easter but I now eat SO MUCH LESS. I eat what my body needs and tells me it needs and not what I think it needs or what I feel will give me comfort.
I have recommended Jacquie to a great friend who was unhappy with her weight and I would recommend her to anyone else who is serious about wanting to change their attitude to food. I now enjoy my meals more and eat much more healthily. I am working on the next 1 stone but know that I will achieve my goal to be back in a bikini by the end of June.
