My background...

My initial training was in Speech and Language Therapy, and I have spent 8 years working for the NHS and privately treating adults with voice and breathing difficulties. To read more about my work visit lydiahartvoice.com.

My journey with holistic therapies has grown organically. As a voice therapist working with body and breath has been a core part of my work, and I have always been interested in understanding the bigger picture. I had my first Reiki session in early 2022 and it was a profound experience that led to me training that summer. Introducing Reiki into my work with people who hadn't been making progress enabled huge shifts for them, and opened my mind to how I can best serve people as a therapist and healer.

I trained in hypnotherapy after an NHS patient of mine was cured of a voice problem with just a few sessions with a hypnotherapist, helping me to see beyond the biomedical model of care I was used to. I have integrated this with my experience of Internal Family Systems (parts) therapy, which has facilitated profound healing in myself and people I have worked with.

Working with women has been a core theme of my personal growth and work with others, particularly helping women with chronic health conditions. I have attended and facilitated at multiple retreats and run regular group sessions.

"Thank you for providing me with a safe space to release and let go. I feel lighter, safer, prouder, clearer."
