Sarah Jane Carey RTT Therapist
I really love my work as a RTT Therapist, Psych-K Practitioner and Life Coach as I can see the profound changes it has on my clients' lives.
Having spent many years working as an executive coach and HR consultant in different countries, with different cultures, I realised that not all the issues we face can be solved by coaching. Our beliefs, emotions and behaviors come from our subconscious mind, and we need to access that for true transformation. I went on my own journey of self-discovery and have personally experienced the transformative benefits of RTT and Pysch-K. I am in awe at the power of our subconscious mind to transform our lives and I love the positive feedback I get from my clients after our sessions. I’m so grateful that I have been able to help my clients get amazing results and transform their lives. Contact Sarah Jane by email here. |

And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time"
