Your New Chapter: From Fear to Freedom
Has a heart attack, surgery, or diagnosis left you feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or even fearful about your future? You are not alone. That rollercoaster of emotions is real, and it’s a vital part of your journey.
At My Heart & Mind, I understand because I’ve walked this path myself. My mission is to guide you from that place of fear to a life filled with confidence, peace, and purpose.
I combine my personal experience with powerful, proven techniques like Hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Trauma Reprocessing, and Life Coaching. These aren’t just therapies; they are tools to gently, yet profoundly, shift your mindset. They make adopting healthy lifestyle changes feel easier, more natural, and truly lasting.
Discover how you can transform emotional challenges into growth, reduce your risk factors effortlessly, and embrace a healthier, happier “new normal” where you thrive.
Hey there, I’m Sallie…
I help people that have experienced a cardiac event or live with a heart disease adjust to the life changes, support them, through reducing risk factors and recover emotionally after their diagnosis.
A heart event or cardiac diagnosis happens at any time and any age. It comes from left field and knocks you sideways. It is a shock and it is life altering.
I provide information, techniques and support to help you manage your reaction. I help you understand your thoughts, feelings and behaviours as they can be very different to what you might have expected. I offer you the tools needed to make the necessary changes in your life and to accept and understand the impact of your diagnosis.
I was told the what I had to change after my heart attack but I had no clue of the how. There were so many changes that it all felt overwhelming and I felt scared and alone. I am here to help you with the how you can make practical, mental and physical changes as it can be emotionally exhausting.
Warning: common side effects – Include increased feelings of confidence and happiness. Some may experience fits of extreme relief and joy may follow.
