How We Can Work Together

At Be In Balance, I offer an integrative mind-body coaching approach that blends holistic nutrition, eating psychology and mindset coaching, hypnotherapy (RTT®), and energy healing.

I focus on mindset transformation and holistic well-being in mind, body, and spirit—supporting emotional healing and lasting change from the inside out.

With 25 years of experience in holistic health, nutrition, eating psychology, mindset coaching, and mind-body wellness, I bring professional expertise, grounded presence, and deep empathy to help you uncover and transform what’s keeping you stuck into greater balance, vitality, and inner freedom.

Are you…

Willing to take on responsibility for your physical, mental, and emotional wellness and success in life?
Ready to address the root cause of your stress and struggles with a personalised, holistic coaching approach?
Determined to become your best self and reclaim your power to create the healthy, happy, fulfilling life you desire?
Determined to become your best self and reclaim your power to create the healthy, happy, fulfilling life you desire?
.

If so, you’re in the right place.

Many clients come to me when they feel stuck – mentally, emotionally, or physically. They’ve tried quick fixes or surface solutions, but something more profound is calling them now. They’re ready to make lasting changes that come from within.

In our work, we explore how our mind, body, and energy are all deeply connected – and how real transformation happens when we address the root cause, not just the symptoms on the surface.

Together, we’ll clear what no longer serves you and strengthen your connection to your inner wisdom, intuition, and authentic self, opening the way for a healthier relationship with food, self-care, and life.

Together, we’ll uncover and release the limiting beliefs, thought patterns, and underlying stress that hold you back from living your best life.

My Holistic Approach

Creating and living your best life requires more than a healthy lifestyle and a nutritious diet—it also depends on a healthy relationship with your mind and inner world.

That’s where our work begins.

Your mindset is the source of the inner voice that shapes the “stories” you tell yourself about who you are and how the world works. It holds your thought patterns, self-beliefs, and emotional imprints from past experiences—and it influences your perception, behaviors, and overall wellbeing.

In fact, what we think and feel affects our mental, emotional, and physical health—including digestion, metabolism, and weight—just as much as the food we eat. That’s why lasting change isn’t about willpower or trying harder. It’s about shifting the inner patterns that drive our behaviours.

It’s time to let go of the unhelpful approaches many of us have followed for too long—punishing our bodies with rules, restrictions, and critical self-talk.

My approach is positive, empowering, and non-judgmental.

It honours your unique physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs, recognising that true transformation begins with acceptance, and a shift in your inner dialogue—because real change can only happen from the inside out.

Unresolved childhood trauma and limiting beliefs from early conditioning often keep us stuck. They can make it difficult to change behaviours, feel confident in ourselves, or experience a deep sense of peace and self-worth. These are often the true root causes behind why we struggle later in life with the same patterns—especially around food, our body and body image, or our sense of self.

.

In our work, we’ll focus on the mind-body connection and consider the profound impact of our thoughts on our physical, mental and emotional health.

By approaching your stress and struggles with compassion and curiosity, we’ll treat them as meaningful signals, not problems to fix but doorways to healing and transformation. This will guide us to the root cause of your symptoms and help you access insight, freedom, and personal growth.

“Awareness is like the sun. When it shines on things, they are transformed.”

– Thich Nhat Hanh

However, deep-seated beliefs and thought patterns are often difficult to access and shift through logic and conscious effort alone, as inner resistance can arise. Here, we can use powerful techniques that work with the subconscious mind and the body’s energy system—when and where they feel appropriate and supportive of your process.

Transformational Tools in Our Work

By using powerful, transformational tools and techniques such as RTT® and energy work, we can uncover and release blocks stored deep in the subconscious, beyond the reach of conscious thought and awareness.

This process helps:

Dissolve inner resistance to healing and change
Identify the root causes of stress and symptoms
Release outdated beliefs, thought loops and trapped emotions

As these blocks lift, lasting transformation becomes possible:

You begin to think fresh, empowering thoughts that align with your current goals and visions.
Your body regains the ability for self-regulation and self-healing.
You show up in your life in ways that you couldn’t before.
You can (re)connect to your intuition and authentic, true self.
You are free and empowered to become the person you want to be, supported by the unlimited possibilities of your full potential.

What are the benefits?

Based on the feedback of past clients, possible outcomes of our work together are:

Feeling calmer, more balanced, and emotionally resilient
Greater confidence, self-belief, and inner strength
Emotional freedom and peace of mind
Relief from shame, guilt, and repetitive thought loops
Improved energy, health, and vitality
A relaxed, intuitive relationship with food and your body
Healthy boundaries and authentic self-expression
Resilience in times of change and empowered direction in life

Every client journey is unique. Some shifts can happen quickly—especially when we address the root cause directly—while deeper goals may take more time to unfold.

We’ll always work at a pace that feels right for you, with clear communication around the process, next steps, and the options that support your needs and resources.

Frequently Asked Questions About My Approach and the Methods I Use

What is an ‘inside out’ approach to holistic health and wellness?

Our mind, body, heart, and soul are intrinsically connected and affect one another via the mind-body connection.

Mastering the power of your mind is crucial for health and wellbeing on all levels and for your ability to manifest what you truly desire in life. The workings of the subconscious mind can explain it:

Only about 5% of your daily thoughts and actions come from conscious decision-making, which means about 95% are directed by your subconscious mind.

Your subconscious mind holds all beliefs and thoughts about yourself since early childhood. This can include limiting thoughts and beliefs and negative emotions such as fear, anger, shame and guilt that were installed and stored after experiencing emotional hurt and trauma – small or big – that you couldn’t process or cope with at the time.

Today, these outdated unconscious thinking patterns and beliefs are still the foundation for your direction in life – if left unchecked.

Conflicting thoughts arise if they don’t match and align with your conscious thinking and desires today.

Your unconscious thoughts and beliefs are the real root causes that keep you stuck, struggling and unable to change your unwanted habits and behaviours.

Which modalities do you draw from?

My integrative holistic approach draws on many of the best strategies and insights from

Mind-Body science
Nutritional psychology
Spiritual psychology
Body-centred practices
Nutrition science
Functional nutrition
Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT® Therapy)
Hypnotherapy
Energy healing (innerwise®)
Kinesiology (TFH)
Mindfulness
Transformative coaching strategies

By combining strategies and methods that work with both – the mind and the body-, I can support you with a truly holistic approach to whole-person health and wellness that brings lasting results.

What is Holistic Nutrition?

Holistic Nutrition is about eating healthy whole food, preferably organic and locally grown, that provides the body with ample amounts of nutrients.

It acknowledges that we are all biochemically unique and that no single way of eating is perfect for everyone.

It supports the principle “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”, as once stated by Hippocrates.

Holistic Nutrition looks at every individual with a “whole-person” approach. It does not stop with looking at the food itself but takes the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs of the eater into account, as well.

Thus, Holistic Nutrition goes beyond the pure application of dietetics and nutritional facts and includes all aspects that nourish the body, mind, heart, and soul.

What is Mind-Body Nutrition?

Mind-Body Nutrition is a timely new field founded by Marc David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating.

This field examines the far-reaching effects of clinical nutrition by looking at the psychophysiology, too: Mind-Body Nutrition explores how our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs influence how our bodies process food and affect our overall health.

It extends beyond traditional nutrition by connecting the brain, body, and behaviour via the mind-body connection. This approach highlights how factors like stress, relaxation, breathing, awareness, enjoyment, and meal timing impact digestion and our metabolic power.

In addition, it provides practical strategies for addressing common eating challenges and health issues that we face today.

What is Dynamic Eating Psychology?

Dynamic Eating Psychology is an important new field that originated with Marc David, founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating.

It’s a positive, empowering and transformational approach designed for anyone who eats. Each of us has a unique, fascinating, and continually evolving relationship with food.

Dynamic Eating Psychology affirms the primary importance of this relationship. Previously, eating psychology has been limited to those with clinical eating disorders.

Dynamic Eating Psychology, though, is for everyone. It affirms that our relationship with food has important lessons to teach us if we choose to listen.

Moreover, it recognises that our eating, weight and health challenges are intimately connected to other primary life dimensions – relationship, family, work, sexuality, search for meaning and fulfilment, and so much more. It is a powerful breakthrough approach.

What is Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT®) and how is it different?

Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT®) is a powerful therapeutic method that combines evidence-based techniques from psychotherapy, clinical hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, gestalt, and mindfulness. It helps people create lasting positive change by accessing and rewiring the subconscious mind.

RTT® is a personalised approach that helps you identify and transform the root causes of unwanted emotional patterns, limiting beliefs, and old mental programming- many of which were formed in early childhood. Instead of focusing only on positive reinforcement, RTT® goes deeper to uncover when, where, and why a specific issue began, so it can be released at the source.

Using the science of neuroplasticity, RTT® enables the brain to build new thought pathways that reflect your current goals and values—freeing you from outdated beliefs and allowing you to move forward with clarity, confidence, and a growth mindset.

RTT® has helped people worldwide to overcome challenges such as:

Stress
Anxiety
Fears
Confidence issues
Procrastination
Weight and eating challenges
Sleep issues
Phobias
Infertility
Addictions and
Depression

How is RTT® different from NLP (Neuro-Linguistic-Programming)?

NLP works with the conscious mind to shift patterns of thinking and behaviour through language and reframing. It’s a valuable tool for enhancing performance and communication.

RTT®, on the other hand, works directly with the subconscious mind – where many of our deepest patterns are stored.

By using hypnosis as a natural gateway, RTT® accesses the root causes of emotional blocks and limiting beliefs, then rewires them through understanding, regression, and transformation.

This deeper access allows for faster, more permanent results- especially when long-standing patterns or unresolved emotional experiences are involved.

RTT® can be integrated into your personalised coaching process – and only when it feels aligned and supportive for you.

Rapid Transformational Therapy® was founded by Marisa Peer, a pioneering British hypnotherapist, psychotherapist and motivational speaker.
Rapid Transformational Therapy®️ (RTT®️) and Training programs are accredited by: General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR), International Association of Counsellors and Therapists (IACT), International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT), International Hypnosis Federation (IHF), Accredited Counsellors, Coaches, Psychotherapists and Hypnotherapists (ACCPH), New Zealand Association of Professional Hypnotherapists (NZAPH), International Coaches Register (ICR), International Hypnosis Association (IHA), and more.

What is innerwise®?

innerwise® is a holistic healing and coaching system founded by MD Uwe Albrecht. It recognises the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit and emphasises the importance of balance and harmony for overall health and wellbeing.

innerwise® combines various therapeutic methods, energy medicine, and consciousness work to support individuals in their healing and personal development journey. It aims to identify and address underlying energetic imbalances that may contribute to physical, mental or emotional issues

When the natural flow of energy becomes impaired, our self-healing abilities decline, and our physical, mental and emotional wellbeing suffers.

About 95% of our daily thoughts and decision-making are based on our subconscious. Therefore, negative thinking patterns, limiting beliefs and unprocessed emotional trauma have a significant impact on our experience of life.

How does innerwise® work?

Using the arm-length test, a neurological muscle reflex, innerwise®, taps directly into the unconscious mind.

Guided by the healing system’s intelligence, innerwise® offers tools and frequency-based remedies that clear up the energetic blocks and irritations that cause imbalances and stress.

Once the energy pathways are open, transformation takes place. The body’s self-regulation and self-healing abilities become activated. The mind-body system returns to its natural state of harmony, balance and equilibrium.

Coaching with innerwise® does not put your symptoms in focus but strengthens your innate potential by increasing energy flow. innerwise® is designed to empower individuals to take an active role in their healing journey by reconnecting them with their innate wisdom and authenticity to restore balance and harmony.

German MD Uwe Albrecht developed innerwise® in the late ’90s because he felt that existing medical systems no longer adequately respond to our time’s challenges. It’s now being used by many people professionally worldwide.

What is Kinesiology?

Kinesiology combines both Western science and traditional Chinese principles. It is a holistic, natural therapy system that uses gentle but powerful healing techniques to improve vitality and wellbeing and to restore the body’s energy flow (Qi).

A fundamental premise of kinesiology is that our body has innate self-healing abilities and is always trying to keep us healthy and energised.

Touch for Health Kinesiology uses muscle testing as a biofeedback mechanism to monitor, identify and correct imbalances and restrictions in the body. These imbalances and restrictions can be identified on the body’s structural, biochemical, emotional or energetic levels.

Imbalances are often not accessible to the conscious mind but are the real root cause of the interruption of the energy flow; hence, this is where healing needs to start.

Following the muscle testing assessment, corrections are made to encourage the body’s natural movement towards self-healing and balance.

Kinesiology has been consistently found to improve one’s sense of well-being and can help you to:

release muscle tension
improve energy levels
improve self-esteem and confidence
manage stress effective
stabilise mood and emotion
relax jaw muscles
improve and maintain overall health.

Touch for Health is the world’s oldest and most widely practised form of kinesiology. It was founded by Dr John Thie in the early 1970’s.
