Phobias anyone? Snakes and heights! This beauty was on our path up to the look-out. Luckily it was only a python. Tap on photo to get full picture. #phobias #snakes #heights #braincoaching

This is the little cable car we were in, 2,000 metres above nothing.

“This is the scariest thing I have EVER done!
I couldn’t have done it without brain coaching. I would have had a heart attack or vomited or both without the brain coaching to overcome a fear of heights.

Recently I was in Switzerland and went on an unplanned trip up a mountain in a cable car.

"When I first heard about Brain Coaching and what Helen does, I couldn’t wait to book in.   All my life I have struggled with anxiety, so to hear that Helen could possibly change this for me meant everything!  Helen and her amazing technique have completely changed my life for the better.   I’m a completely different person with how I see and how I react to every situation. Family and friends cannot believe all the positive changes since my first consultation.   My anxiety has completely disappeared and I strongly recommend Brain Coaching to anyone who suffers from Anxiety or other troubles they wish to overcome.   Thank you, Helen, for changing my life, you’re one in a million!!"
Kind regards,   R.S. Medical Practice Manager

People often laugh about their habit of putting things off. You know the old joke - "Why do today what you can put off till tomorrow". That is okay for awhile or on minor issues, and then wham! all of a sudden you are under pressure to perform or lifestyle issues are at stake. This pressure or stress is not good for your health, amongst other negative impacts.
Of course, a little bit of pressure can be good for performance, it can motivate you to get that job done, get that essay written etc. However, when a 'little' bit of pressure becomes a 'lot', and not getting things done on time becomes a habit, that's when things will start to go downhill. You may need some intervention strategies to change these habits.

"My experience with Helen and Australian Brain Coaching has been immensely important to my mental health.  I have to admit, I was sceptical at first as I hadn't heard about this method of brain coaching before but once Helen explained the principals and how many people had been helped to overcome such a wide range of problems, I knew I wanted to give it a go."

Thank you to the Council for putting on such a wonderful event. It's important to celebrate our elders, and their achievements and their value to society. Thank you for inviting me to come along today to speak on this topic

I am excited about this topic, as I just recently studied this in my psychology course. There have been lots of studies and trials on being healthy in later years, particularly emotional well-being, as that has a definite impact on your physical well-being.

“Feedback from Quit-Smoking Program – Great results for the people who participated in the recent Brain Coaching Quit Smoking Program! The participants smoking habits ranged from 20 – 40 cigarettes per day, and for 30 – 45 years. We calculated that at a packet per day this habit cost about $12,000 per year! Let alone the health costs! One participant even commented about how much tax they were paying to the government.

Ever felt that you are getting so worked up over things in your life, that you are going around in circles and can’t see a way out?

“Helen, I cannot thank you enough for what you have done for me so far. In only 2 sessions you have completely transformed my emotional reactions to 2 very influential people who were having a significantly negative impact on my life. I feel very blessed to have met you and cannot wait to continue working through other issues that are holding me back from being the best version of myself!” 

From a Satisfied Client, Dubbo, NSW

Below is a testimonial from a woman who is very pleased with her new way of thinking thanks to Australian Brain Coaching.

"Just wanted to let you know that I have been putting into practice my new way of thinking, as you can imagine it does take a while to change old habits, but I do feel like I am making good progress with what we discussed and using my mantra, as we discussed. I have been enjoying my life so much more, without the pressure of my mind."

Recording from Frank, who gave up smoking after 40 years of 20/day, with just one session of Brain Coaching:

When I first heard about brain coaching I was sceptical, to say the least, for a start I didn't know what brain coaching was, when it was explained to me, however, I saw in some way how it could work, when I went to a session and went through the various techniques I was amazed.

I didn't know why I needed brain coaching at all but if there was anything I would like to give away it would be smoking.  I was instructed how to achieve this. I followed those instructions and to my surprise - amazement really - they work.  I haven't smoked for.........

Lovely Central West magazine, have invited me to submit an article on sleeping habits - check it out or forward to someone who you think may be interested! You never know .......

A few years ago, I would not have meditated – “I’m too busy, can’t sit still, etc, etc”. Now I can see the benefits of meditating – all you need is about 20 minutes!

Meditating using the Brain Coaching method has had amazing results for people wanting to change from bad habits into new, worthwhile habits. This method helps to reinforce your new thought patterns. Clients have reported wonderful success stories.

A certain amount of stress can be quite useful in certain situations, however, too much stress can be bad for your health.  It is possible to retrain your brain and get out of this cycle of negativity.

A series of 3 workshops will provide you with the tips and tools to find out what will work for you and set you on a more fulfilling path.  Dates are 30th May, 6th and 13th June from 5.30pm to 7.30pm at the Community College

Open palm or closed fist? Some people have different attitudes to life.  Listened to an amazing guest speaker yesterday – Heather J. Mackenzie, from Denver Colarado.  An open palm is all about being ready to receive new ideas, new possibilities, meet new people.  This was her main message. Heather is a very inspirational speaker – from adversity comes opportunity and Heather wants to spread the word and help other people reach their potential.

Some of the outcomes of this talk were not only the insight and experience of Heather, it was also meeting the other amazing women in the audience. For example – Black Diamonds - 2 ladies empowering indigenous women and teenagers to be the best they can be.

It is with much pleasure that the new website for ABC has been launched!

Many thanks to the team at KatesonWeb for their expertise and wonderful design.

I am looking forward to helping people overcome their anxieties and fears and to improve their confidence – Yes, you can re-train your brain!

This method is new to Australia and has impressive results – all without drugs or hypnotism.

Many thanks to renowned Narrabri artist Graeme Compton for the original and beautiful artwork – depicting “Freeing up the Mind”.

New Year's Resolutions - out the window??

And it's only February!

If your New Year Resolutions have gone out the window already maybe you need help in working out why.

Sometimes it is not that obvious, such as - not having any willpower. There could be many reasons why you have given up. Your brain could still be in that same rut - reverting back to your old habits. Our brains get stuck in a rut and are hard to move this type of thinking. And just like any new skill you’ll need to train your brain for your new skill.
