We're proud to have helped so many people over the years, and we would very much like to invite you to read some of the stories that they have shared with us, and which they have kindly offered to allow us to share with you.   Smoking, food and body issues   "Over the years I’ve seen a number of therapists about body image and food issues resulting from sexual abuse as a child.  Through those therapists I learned why I behaved and thought the way I did as a result of those experiences, but none helped me break the negative patterns of behaviour I’d established.     Through the use of NLP and EFT I am now free of deep-seated feelings of inadequacy and my fear of loss of control.  I’d been afraid these would be with me my life!   Maxine has also employed these methods to help me successfully stop smoking.   I never thought I’d be one of those people who said it was easy.  But I am!   The brilliant thing about my experience with Maxine is that I now have the tool to cope with the ebb and flow of life, so instead of feeling panicky about what the future may hold, I feel positive and excited and peaceful."   - Belinda Smith, London     Sports coaching and relationship coaching   "Thank you Maxine.  Your coaching gave me the valuable techniques to manage my nerves and helped me perform my very best at national and international hockey matches.     Your techniques have also helped me to articulate my deep and most honest motivations with regard to relationships.  This helped me move on from an unhappy relationship and find one that made me happy."    - Alex D, London     High blood pressure   "It is just 3 weeks since you taught me how to apply EFT to my Blood Pressure problem and helped me resolve some long term emotional issues. You will, like me, be very pleased with my progress.  I have been monitoring my Blood Pressure twice a day since starting the tapping.    My general feeling is 100% and my energy is 100%.   I feel like a new woman, my mind is clear, and appears free of unwanted obstacles.  As I told you my Blood Pressure ranged from 194/90 to 243/100 for the last 30 years.  My Consultant and Doctor said I am a walking time bomb and the Consultant discharged me as nothing more could be done.  No amount of medication lowered the B.P. it just seemed to push it up further.      A normal-for-my-age 76, weight 10 stone and height 5ft should be around 140/70.  Since I started tapping the results have steadily lowered and currently measures 153/65. My goal is to achieve the normal-for-my-age range and with your help I am in no doubt that I will do it.    Maxine you really are remarkable therapist.  Thank you once again."   - Joan Bevington, Newcastle-under-Lyme     Public speaking and presentations   "After several years of experiencing crippling anxiety when making presentations, I can now happily say that I actually look forward to standing up in front of people and delivering a presentation with confidence.   In the past eleven years I’ve read all the self-help books on confidence, visited two other hypnotherapists and taken medication from my GP - but nothing really worked for long.  In January this year I was promoted to Sales Director which means frequently making presentations to large groups of people.     I heard about Maxine’s work through a colleague who’d had similar anxiety problems and decided to see if she could help me.  In the first session she got right to the heart of my fears, and used EFT on all the related problems. I saw her three times face to face and had a couple of follow up sessions over the phone.    Maxine is extremely intuitive and would highly recommend her integrity and expertise to anyone who wants to improve their emotional well-being."   - David Prowse, St Albans     Relationship stress and exhaustion   "I recently went through a stressful, confidence denting and exhausting break up and having discussed my predicament with close friends decided to engage Maxine as my therapist to help me regain my confidence and re-energise my life.   I had read about the positive affects of EFT and was eager to meet with Maxine to see how EFT could work for me.   Through the use of NLP and EFT I have conquered my exhaustion, re-discovered my zest for life and have regained my confidence. I have also used EFT to deal with my asthma which I have suffered with from childhood.   I now have the tools to deal with any warning signs that appear on the horizon.   Thank you Maxine for your expert guidance."   - M Bradbury, Cheshire     Low self-esteem, depression and weight issues   "Thank you so much for helping me to get my confidence back and change my life.   I’d been suffering with low self-esteem and depression following a very painful divorce and I was also very overweight due to comfort eating and loneliness.  I’d seen a psychotherapist regularly for the last seven years but didn’t seem to make very much - if any progress.  I’d also taken medication periodically for my depression.      I can honestly say that I’m finally free of all that now.    When you introduced me to EFT I was very sceptical didn’t really think it would work for me with all my long term problems.  How wrong I was and I’m grateful for your persistence and expertise, all my old painful memories are now just memories and I feel free to do anything I put my mind to!  I do EFT everyday now and can honestly say that I’m enjoying life.  I‘m socialising again and have started a part time job where I‘m making new friends.    Amazingly, I don’t have chocolate cravings anymore and I’ve lost two stones in weight in the last eight months!  I’m so glad I found you Maxine, thank you once again."   - Sophie H,  Richmond-upon-Thames, Surrey     Children's issues   "Hi Maxine, I just wanted to say thanks for a great EFT training yesterday. As well as learning some interesting stuff and a valuable new tool, I shifted a big issue too which as you probably noticed (!) I’ve carried around with me for a long time.   I was really surprised at the amount of emotion which was still attached to that episode given how much TLT etc I’ve done in the past year but I do feel lighter this morning and getting shot of that seems to have cleared up some other issues too, put them into context perhaps or just broken the link I think and allowed me to process them as separate, unrelated incidents which is exactly what they are. Funny how I could have told you that rationally before but I can feel it now too!     I also wanted to tell you that I did my first real life tapping last night too and it worked a treat. Piers had a tantrum and worked himself into such a state he couldn’t calm himself down. That’s a bit of a pattern with him, when he has these rages he wants me to calm him as he feels he can’t do it himself. Previously I’ve tried to help him linguistically, which works after the fact when he is rational again, but in the moment he just wants a distraction or a technique to calm him; something he can pin his state change on.   So long story short I tapped him and then he tapped himself and it was brilliant. I made the affirmations fun and by the end of round one he was smiling. We did three rounds and all the anger was gone and he was laughing and telling me about how the feeling in his head disappeared at this point and the bit in his tummy at another.   It was a gentle yet firm way to dissipate the situation without him feeling I’d given in to his tantrum and allowed him to control his state change.   I will most definitely be doing that again, thanks Maxine!     Please feel free to quote me on the above, I know as a parent it’s always good to hear what’s worked for other parents! Anyway, just wanted to say all that while it’s fresh in my mind. Thanks again."   - Amanda Ollier, Kent     Depression   "Maxine,   Hope all is well with you.  I just thought I would email you an update as I hadn't been in touch since I took the Lightning Process training with you in July.     I am very pleased that I no longer take anti depressants - after 10 years of taking them, and I am doing really well and strong.  I have not been in contact regarding a follow up session as I have not felt it necessary. I am doing everything that I want to be able to do and find I no longer consider if any particular activity will affect my energy levels or not.    I have also had two slight colds - not really surprising with the weather we have had this summer. I have enrolled the Diploma course at the college and will start in September - perhaps I will see you there if you are involved in teaching this at all?    I intend to get qualified to teach the Lightning Process myself in the future.    I hope the other participants who I met on my course are all doing well.  Thank you for all the help you gave me.  Very best wishes."   - Julie Haffar     Other testimonials   "Maxine,   Just to let you know that the Lightning Process is working well, I’m waking up early every morning and making great progress every day.   Thank you so much for being a wonderful and inspirational trainer.    Could you please also give my sincere thanks to Phil Parker - and keep up the life changing work."   - Eva Kowalski       + Click here to read some of the amazing success stories from people who have used the Lightning Process.   + Click here to return to the home page		Home   How Positive Change can help me   EFT | Emotional Freedom Techniques Coaching with EFT   The Phil Parker Lightning Process Success stories with The Lightning Process Lightning Process application form   Neuro-Linguistic Programming Clinical hypnotherapy Testimonials   About your practitioner How to get in touch with us
