I went to Michelle to help me overcome my issues with confidence & imposter syndrome, which were holding me back from launching my own business. Within a very short space of time Michelle has helped me overcome those issues leaving me with a new found sense of confidence & determination. Michelle was very calming and welcoming and I felt very relaxed and at ease during our time together. I would highly recommend hypnotherapy with Michelle, if you are looking to remove blockages that are holding you back in life. More...

Michelle was recommended to me by friends who knew I was at a very low point in my life. On meeting Michelle, I instantly gelled with her, she put me at ease and I felt that she really understood the issues I was grappling with and was able to tap into the areas that I needed to work on. She is an amazing therapist/tutor; facilitating the tools and exercises to help weed out issues where you may have felt totally unable to cope. I now have a renewed sense of confidence, am able to approach issues/people in a way I never thought I would be able to and no longer feel guilt for not dwelling on situations. Michelle has liberated me from what I can only describe as a ball and chain. Her methods are alternative and approaching this style of therapy with an open mind has allowed me to have clarity. I cannot thank her enough! More...

She has taken me from all consuming fear, to empowerment and acceptance about my future. If you are hesitating please don't, this will be one of the best decisions you've ever made!

I was never into the holistic approach but after years of CBT counselling and anti-depressants I thought why not….. I can honestly say it is without doubt the most amazing therapy going. Even without the hypnotherapy Michelle has a way of making you think differently. I will be returning as soon as possible thank you michelle x More...

Simply brilliant! My PTSD is but a memory without emotions. After 10 years I am no longer taking antidepressants, I laugh when I was once cried, and I am excited for my future. It is as if my shackles have been removed and I feel light with the freedom to enjoy life again! It is so hard to put into words the difference Michelle has made to me and my girls but with her expertise, warmth and energy, life is good again. In a safe, warm and expert environment we were able to heal without fear of being re-traumatised. I cannot recommend more highly! More...

I came to Michelle for help after suffering with anxiety which I had reached breaking point after an issue within my workplace. I have had just 2 sessions and can honestly say that I now feel free from the anxiety which has been holding me back for so many years, I didn't even realise the root cause of my anxiety stemmed back a few years and Michelle made me feel safe to talk about these issues and that I was not being judged. Having hypnotherapy has really helped me to let go of the issues causing my anxiety and I now have many skills to use if I ever do have any anxiety come back. Honestly within such a short space of time Michelle has helped me love myself again and all the worrying has gone. Thank you so much for your help! More...

From being depressed and anxious as recently as 3 months ago, I feel a different person after just 6 sessions of therapy with Michelle Collins. This was way outside my comfort zone but taking the step to pick up the phone and call her was simply the best thing I have done in a very long time. It is not always easy to realise that you need help to unlock and process memories and experiences that are 'blocking' the way to fully enjoying life but Michelle made it so easy right from that first discussion on the telephone. Thank you so much for how you have changed my life. More...

I have had just 4 sessions and can honestly say that I now feel free from the anxiety which has been holding me back for so many years. As soon as I sat down, I immediately felt comfortable and was able to talk through my issues openly without any judgement.

Michelle is in the right job! I immediately felt at ease and she was so easy to talk to. She is so good at finding the right techniques to help re-wire your mind and "pull out the root! " After two sessions, I felt thoroughly "de-cluttered" and ready to move forwards positively, after years of battling with anxiety. She has opened my eyes to so much.

It is now 2 weeks after my 3rd and last treatment and my energy and activity levels have risen, I'm not getting flat out exhaustion like I used to either.

After stumbling across Michelle's advert on FB whilst laid up in bed with a really bad back, I decided to give her a try. I'd used Bowen on previous horses I had, but didn't think about myself ! A hip replacement, a C-section and working with horses for 20yrs meant I was a little 'broken'. We had a good number of sessions and I found it really interesting to see how my body worked with the Bowen treatment during the time of treatment and the days after. My legs are now the same length and I can actually turn my head! I am so much more comfortable within my own body! It's really gentle, but highly effective and I thoroughly recommend giving it a go to see if it's right for you! Thank you for fixing me! More...

How important is a healthy diet to someone’s health and wellbeing?
Nutrition and Weight Management
A nutritional advisor takes time to compile a detailed case history for each client, for example, i would ask the client to keep a food and activity diary for seven days. This should include the times you eat, how hungry you were at that particular time, whether you were seated at the table to eat or were watching the TV, etc.
Working with you is a two-way process in order to create a realistic, personalised plan that will fit in with your lifestyle and will be easier to maintain, rather than ‘one size fits all’. Many clients appreciate the education and care that comes with nutritional therapy in order to understand what is happening in their bodies.
• Did you know that it takes 3,500 calories to lose 1lb of fat?
• Do you crave sugar?
• Are you confused about what foods to eat and what not to eat?
• Are you tired most of the time?
• Do you feel bloated?
• At meal times, do you always finish everything on the plate even when you’re full?
• Are you hungry all the time?
• Have you tried every diet with little or no results?
• Do you say to yourself, I will start my diet next week?
A nutritional advisor can identify potential nutritional imbalances in your body and together we can make the changes.
What does the plan entail during Week One?
1. I will ask you to bring along to the initial (two-hour) consultation a seven-day food diary (a food diary sheet will be emailed to you prior to the consultation). Fill it in every day for seven days, and list and describe all the food you have eaten at each meal, including snacks and any drinks you have had. This will need to be done before your appointment. I will record your weight and body measurements (hip, waist and thigh), any current health issues and your goals, for example, weight loss, weight maintenance or weight gain.
2. I will then look at your calorie intake, your Body Mass Index (BMI) and your activities, i.e. exercise, work, leisure time.
3. We will discuss what you eat now and your likes and dislikes.
4. We will further discuss possible changes to your eating habits/patterns, for example, being conscious of what you eat, examining how you eat, planning what you eat and thinking about why you eat certain foods.
5. Lastly, we will discuss an exercise programme, for example, walking, going to the gym, exercise classes.
I am also a clinical hypnotherapist. If we combine nutrition and weight management with hypnotherapy, WOW! What a combination for sticking to a new eating plan, beating cravings, compulsive over-eating, reducing portion size, emotional eating and much more! However, not everyone wants hypnotherapy, and that’s fine. I offer both services. I will provide you with information factsheets to take home with you, in order to support and help you on your journey.
I recommend a minimum of two consultations or an eight-week weight management programme for long-term solutions. Some clients wish to book a maintenance programme beyond the eight-week period to keep on track and this can be discussed and agreed as you progress.

THE HOLISTIC HEALTH CLINIC , TAUNTON
My name is Michelle and I am an holistic therapist.
I first became interested in therapies back in 2000, when a dear friend of mine had a back injury. I was so impressed with the treatment that she received and how quickly she recovered that I booked myself on to a training course. Two years later, I was fully qualified in the Bowen Technique.
I then became fascinated with the power of the mind and the possibilities for change. The more I read about hypnotherapy, the more I loved it. The changes happen so quickly for people – even with long-term issues – so I booked myself on to several hypnotherapy training courses. In 2002, I became fully qualified as a Master Practitioner in Hypnotherapy and since then I have qualified in several other holistic therapy’s Reiki, Nutrition and Weight Management, Sports Nutrition, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Pain elimination technique, Havening technique, Scar tissue release technique, as you can see i love to add to my toolkit. The more knowledge I can gain, the more areas I can help my clients with. I am passionate about helping people with Mental Heallth issues , Anxiety, PTSD, Depression people trapped in there emotions .
As a hypnotherapist and feel very passionate about the work I do. I was drawn to working with the subconscious because I wanted to find therapeutic resources that are painless, effective , and safe to help people in a way that offers real solutions, to real issues. I was always searching for additional ways to help my traumatised clients, Havening technique, Rewind Technique , EFT and NLP, alongside hypnotherapy. , my drive has been to develop my repertoire to help people with emotional and physical pain, to permanently remove traumatic memories stored in the brain, a process that I tend to witness on a regular basis now. I have clients leave my treatment room feeling a deep and significant shift, relief and freedom, after years of suffering ( check out my reviews on Facebook) . This for me is the best feeling in the world, and it never gets old.
I would say that the part of me that brings forth the most joy and satisfaction is being a guide and facilitator to an individual’s well-being, healing and growth. My practice focuses on TRAUMA, PTSD, ANXIETY, ME, DEPRESSION ,CHRONIC PAIN, WEIGHT MANAGEMENT, However, I confidently work with most issues.
Each client is a unique and special individual, therefore all my sessions are integrative and I use all the tools and resources at my disposal to assist a person in moving forward with their lives.
This is your life, live it to the full .
My Clinic is in Taunton, where I work from my therapy room in the garden, in a quiet and relaxing space, with parking outside, I am fully accredited and insured, I offer my treatments at affordable prices, that way I can get to help more people with a emotional and physical problems,
Why should our clients choose you?
I like to found out what is going on, for example when did the problem start? That way we can get to the root of the problem and get rid of it quickly, meaning you are better, no therapy sessions for months or even year's ? My Clinic is open 7 days a week daytimes and evening.
