Over the last 10-years Tom’s work has touched the lives of many, from celebrities (Lauren Laverne, Myleene Klass and others) to high achieving performers in the world of business and sport. He's a regular contributor to Radio 5 live, and keynote speaker at conferences worldwide. Tom’s successes have included collaborations with BBC Radio 1, NHS, British Heart Foundation, government task forces and several TV companies. His unique methodology and playful delivery has seen him presenting all over the world, from anti-corruption training in Nigeria, to delivering Emotional Intelligence workshops in women’s prisons.

He has trained in numerous healing modalities including Hypnosis, NLP, Gestalt Counselling, EFT, EMDR and various meditation and mindfulness techniques. He also runs a business consultancy that specialises in helping businesses improve the quality of their work place.

Tom is a member of the European social funded ‘Adjust The Balance’ development partnership and has been responsible for researching, designing, delivering and testing state of the art, innovative life change toolkits and experiences in a variety of different settings for the last 2 years. This has formed the foundation of the FreeMind project.

Here's what Tom has to say about the event: "Hypnosis parties are the new rock and roll. Sometimes a live performance can be so sublime that it can change our lives forever. Something magical can happen between the performer and the audience that makes an event something very special to be remembered.

For the last 8 years I have been exploring what can be done to make those magical experiences more likely to happen.

Using beautiful hypnosis an audience can be placed into the perfect frame of mind for the performance to become transformationally powerful.

Using hypnosis music can also be transformed into a melodic metaphor that can bring out in the listener the most beautiful and inspiring insights and emotions.

This can be used to motivate and drive real and lasting positive change.

We will be combining all of these techniques at our "Love Life More" event detailed below.

This event will warm your heart and nourish your soul. I really hope you will overcome barriers of time and distance to come and experience the delightful day we have planned for you."
