Our Therapists
Gina Hardy
Relationship Educator, Yoga Teacher, Healer
As a relationship educator I will help you understand that conflict and problems in your intimate relationships are only healing and growth trying to happen within you. To love is human nature but, like day and night, good and bad are natural cycles of any relationship. I help you understand the deeper and often unconscious aspects of what drives you to do and say the things you do in your intimate relationship; those things that create conflict and keep you chained to repeat patterns. I will educate you in the art of how to have a fully conscious partnership based on allowing in truth and authenticity and how to own your part in what you are creating together.
I am not a counsellor or psychologist but was an expert at falling in love and getting hurt. I have a 25 year portfolio of experience in love relationships, which I often fondly reflect on and am now the proud owner of. A few years ago I had a life changing moment in my love life which stopped me from continuing on the self destruct path I was on. I had been down the counselling and psychology routes but felt that therapy just didn't hit the right spot for me. I had no real self awareness of what I was doing to create my relationship reality until I stumbled across relationship education via a dear friend. I now have the relationship I have always wanted and I want to share with you how I reached this place and show you how to stop repeating the same things I did.
Please get in touch if you would like to find out how to stop years more heartache and have a real desire and the courage to look at yourself and change what needs to be changed.
My vision is to help create 'laboratories of healing' for couples and soon to be couples, so future generations will know the true meaning of happiness in authentic love.

Paola Bagnall
Hypnotherapist and Inner Power Hypnobirthing specialist
Paola has a degree in Biology and is a qualified teacher, having taught for 35 years, first in a comprehensive school and then in a sixth-from college. She retired from teaching in July 2004 to take up hypnotherapy full time.
She learnt self-hypnosis in order to heal a very painful shoulder injury that the medical profession was unable to help her with. Having discovered the innate ability we all have to heal ourselves if we desire to, by harnessing these inner resources, Paola went on to become a fully qualified Hypnotherapist - helping people to control pain, to heal themselves and to have wonderfully natural childbirths.
Paola has two sons and enjoyed their births immensely. She felt in control at all times. As there seems to be a great deal of negativity surrounding childbirth, Paola decided that with her biology background and the Inner Power we all have she would specialise in helping mothers to enjoy giving birth, making it a positive, magical experience - as it should be.
For more information, email Paola on Paola@InnerPower.co.uk - or telephone for a chat on 020 8660 6022.
Tamara Donn
AAMET-accredited EFT practitioner and childbirth educator
Tamara offers one-to-one treatments and workshops using the amazing technique of EFT to treat fears, trauma, blocks, anxiety, anger, physical pain and so much more.
She is also the founder of the Birth Art CafeTM, trains birth professionals to run Birth Art Cafes as well as running them herself. The Birth Art Cafe are weekly gatherings to explore the motherhood journey through relaxtion and creativity.
Background
After leaving university with an honours degree, I spent several years in the IT industry. Realising that this was not fulfilling my passion, I retrained as an aromatherapist.
For many years, prior to becoming a mother, I was involved in personal development. Among my teachers were Deepak Chopra (meditation), Chuck Spezzano (Psychology of Vision) and Brandon Bays (The Journey). I spent time traveling and visited sacred centres in Peru and Egypt.
In 2000 I gave birth to my daughter and passed through the life-changing rite of passage into motherhood. This was the start of my true inner learning and gave rise to a strong passion to mentor other women through their rite of passage into motherhood. I started by offering support to women wanting a home birth for my local NCT group. Since then, I have taken courses with Sheila Kitzinger on Birth Crisis, Doula training with Ruth Tamir, Foundation course in The Gentle Birth Method with Dr Gowri Motha and have completed training Levels 1 and 2 with Pam England as a Birthing From Within Mentor and trained with Niravi Payne on the Whole Person Fertility Program.
My desire is to re-awaken women's inner wisdom and to empower them to truly trust themselves, listen to their hearts and to honour their life's journey however it unfolds.

Lisa Jackson
Clinical Hypnotherapist and HypnoBirthing Teacher
Lisa, the founder of Quiet Medicine Clinical Hypnotherapy, is based in Croydon. Lisa spent eleven years as a health and fitness journalist before qualifying as a clinical hypnotherapist and has also undertaken doula training with the world-renowned natural-birth pioneer Michel Odent who introduced the concept of birthing pools in maternity hospitals.
She is a volunteer for the charity Birth Companions, which provides women in detention with support before, during and after the birth of their babies. Lisa believes passionately in the benefits of using HypnoBirthing during any type of birth (whether it's at home, in a birth centre or hospital) and the majority of the parents she's taught have either required no pain relief during birth, or simply some gas and air.
