The ENERGYBODi Sensation- Rossendale's Holistic Health and Wellbeing Studio

We are a dedicated studio for Body, Mind Health and Fitness.

We specialise in Pilates, Yoga, Aerial Yoga, Massage, Holistic Dance - ZENERGi and Meditation.

ENERGYBODi is the understanding that we are energy beings and that we need to look after ourselves with an awareness of 'energy in' and 'energy out' much like bank accounts.

In the Western world we are commonly expending more energy outwards than inwards. It isn't as simple as sleep, eat, work, exercise/play.

ENERGYBODi is about you learning what generates energy that sustains you in ALL your life, so you can relax, sleep better, feel a natural feel good sensation that is centered and calm. It is more than an adrenalin high.

ENERGYBODi is about detail to movement - giving YOU the understanding of why you are doing each movement and the effect it has on your posture, your sport, your movement and YOUR energy efficiency.

Back ache and pain is energy draining. A good posture - strong core with aligned movement is energy efficient and provides more comfort and pleasure in the body.

ENERGYBODi includes breathing techniques and meditation.

ZENERGi is a holistic dance with beautiful lyrical movements set to an eclectic mix of music, with elements of Tai Chi, Yoga, and many Dance Arts with a Zen awareness in life - being in the present moment, in the body. Mindfulness. Understanding of Body, Mind, E-motions. (Energy in Motion) and the energy connection.

ZENERGi leaves you exhilarated and calm, elated and grounded.

Heather has been teaching the concept of 'functional fitness' the new buzz word for 10 years. Functional fitness works on the connection of muscles in a 'chain' i.e. muscles are connected via a Fascia therefore one muscle has an impact on a series of muscle chain or trains through the body.

Isolated muscle training was invented during the Polio epidemic by Physiotherapists. Training muscles in isolation on a gym machine in this isolated way creates imbalance and is ineffective, unless you are doing it for rehab, even then you want to bring full functional movement in as soon as possible.

Spiraling movement as in ZENERGi and whole body movement is what is now highly recommend by sports specialists.

As well as varied personal life experiences and challenges, I have worked and studied in many areas at high levels, having had a multi- disciplined academic and professional career.

I initially studied Biological Sciences at Nottingham Trent University and Manchester Metropolitan University for over five years, and carried out various laboratory based roles. One such role was that of Research Assistant in the Bio-Physical Chemistry Department of the former Patterson Institute for Cancer Research, Christies Hospital; now Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute, a world renowned centre of clinical excellence in conjunction with The University of Manchester. This hospital based research role provided a wealth of scientific knowledge and understanding; balanced by an appreciation of the needs of patients and the direct impact of such knowledge and understanding.

Following this and whilst raising a family, I studied Business, Accountancy and Taxation, and have been a Certified Accountant since 1999. This has provided me with a wealth of experience of working with a variety of people from all walks of life and assisting them hands on, with real life situations.

As well as hypnosis, my personal interests and passion lies in meditation, self-empowerment and soul/self- awareness practices and techniques; in which I have completed countless workshops and courses for many years, and am now teaching. My vast experience in this area and also of personal development and assisting the growth of others enhances the therapeutic techniques I use.

As too does my more recent study with the Open University towards BSc (HONS) Psychology, which I am finding informative and enlightening!

Particularly as it theoretically supports the advanced hypnotherapy techniques which I have acquired from the ABC College of Hypnotherapy, which is validated by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council and the Corporation of Advanced Hypnotherapy.

Having studied and practiced a variety of disciplines to a high standard, it is from an informed position that I’m able to talk about the uniqueness of the advanced hypnotherapy techniques that I practice. My scientific mind creates a desire to understand why these techniques are so successful; whilst my own personal experience of them enables me to state unreservedly that these techniques are subtle yet highly effective, and life changing!
