How can Reiki help me to transform my life?
REIKI is, above all, a quite unique experience. The sensations and benefits will vary from person to person. REIKI is a powerful yet subtle therapy that is a completely safe, natural, and holistic way of treating disease, through a deep sense of relaxation, REIKI will help release blocked energy and cleanse the body of toxins.
What happens during a Reiki session?
A session usually lasts about an hour and includes a confidential discussion before treatment to ascertain your needs and answer any questions.
I will methodically put my hands on you in several ‘postures’ working from your head to your toes. You will remain fully clothed and the whole experience is both comforting and reassuring. What you experience will be unique to you and may vary from session to session. Some people experience heat coming from my hands, others may experience a tingling sensation, and some nothing more than a deep sense of absolute calm and relaxation.
Transpersonal Psychotherapy
Many people come on a Breakthrough Retreat saying that they suffer with depression for many years.

The energy body feeds light energy to the physical body and needs to be kept clean and clear. It is kept clean and clear by positive thinking, good food, being in nature, exercise and of course, addressing our healing needs, whether from this lifetime or past lifetimes. However, Trauma, Stress, Worry, Negative Emotions, Shock, Ancestral issues and Past Life issues, and lack of good food and regular exercise can all affect the “Health” of the energy body.
Instead of being radiant and light, it gets clogged up with “Heavy Energy” We call Hucha. This heavy energy makes the physical body then feel similarly heavy. Therefore, it is common that we put on weight when we are depressed! And of course, with the Mind Body connection, we then feel heavy- minded, or Depressed. So prescribed medication may give you a little lift, but it does not clear the energy body, so the depression will continue, simply being masked by the drugs.
Counselling
Whether you’re looking to boost self esteem and self confidence, are in need of therapy for depression.

You Can Change Your Life!
Every day our lives get more pressurised. We are expected just to deal with it and cope.
Whether personally or professionally, we live in a time when it is important to seem to be in control. But what happens when we are not? After dealing with day-to-day family and personal relationships can really get us down and these all too familiar situations eventually take over and prevent us from living a happy and fulfilled life.

Inventor of The Courtney Process
Throughout my career I’ve worked with a diverse range of people, providing support services to prison inmates, assisting young people in crisis situations, and working directly with patients dealing with depression, low self-esteem and self-confidence and personality disorders.
I have also developed and facilitated several successful workshops such as ‘Healing & Balancing the Chakras’ and ‘Design Your Destiny – Roadmap to Success’.
Able to work with individuals, groups and couples, my style includes warmth, openness, and humour. I help people uncover and connect with the real reasons behind their issues, rather than just speculate about them. My training and influences include visualisations, bodywork, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), hypnosis, family taboo and anger release work. The combination of intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual work provides an all-round and integrated approach to resolving many of life’s problems.
My Expertise in Transpersonal Psychotherapy
Stress, Anxiety, & Depression
The combination of intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual work provides an integrated approach to resolving many of life’s problems. Indeed, published research has demonstrated the long term effects that mental therapy retreats have on dealing with depression and anxiety are enormously positive.
How can Transpersonal Psychotherapy help me to transform my life?
Treating And Healing Depression without Drugs.
Many people come on a Breakthrough Retreat saying that they suffer with depression for many years. Most people take prescribed medication for depression as well, believing it is their only option. But most people I see do not understand what depression is, or what causes it.
The focus is on you, and only you!
I, as you may know, am a Psychotherapist and Healer and work with the concept of energy the concept of an “Energy Body” which surrounds our physical body. It is often referred to as an “aura”. It is important to remember that the health of the energy body determines the health of the physical body, NOT the other way around.
How Breakthrough Retreats was born
Having always been passionate about helping people to develop their potential and live the life they’ve always wanted, I came up with the concept of health-centred, spiritual treatment as a direct result of talking with clients.
I decided to establish Breakthrough Retreats in 2006 with a simple mission – to show clients how to be at one with themselves and regain self-esteem and self-confidence.
Introducing The Courtney Process…
Helping you to become the confident, energised and focussed person you always wished you could be!
Before you commence with us, we will ask you to complete a comprehensive questionnaire. This will help us identify what treatments are best for you and organise your time accordingly to ensure you get the maximum benefit from us. Whether you’re in need of treatment for abuse, therapy healing or simply looking for advice on how to be at one with yourself, we will create the perfect programme for you.

The fact we’re called ‘Breakthrough Retreats’ is no coincidence – we are aiming for a breakthrough which brings about the personal transformation you desire. Though this can come in the form of an ‘Aha!’ moment or a wave of self-awareness, all our clients will experience this at some point. Typically, this is followed by a welling up of creativity and self-expression accompanied by positivity surrounding the future.
