Annie Davies - Life-Raft
Annie believes that everyone we meet and everything that significantly impacts on our thinking and emotions, whether it is read, heard, seen or experienced first hand, colours and creates our identity and makes us into a unique individual.
She endeavours through all aspects of her work to connect people with the unique person that they truly are. To celebrate their talents and to build on their achievements, focusing on hopes and dreams to create the lifestyle to which they aspire.
Some of Annie's life-changing experiences
Annie supplemented her income as a jazz musician by working in Auckland in 'Harvest Wholefoods' - a health food shop and Therapy Centre. It was here that she began her journey learning the basics of good nutrition, the part supplementation can play in nurturing the body and her introduction to Complementary Therapies.
In 1988, when back in the UK, Annie met Mari Hall (founder and director of the International Association of Reiki and author of Practical Reiki, Reiki for Common Ailments, and Reiki for the Soul) and became a Reiki Healer. This formed the foundation for her future work and the opportunity to start exploring her own potential. Annie started investigating the power of the voice and worked through the International Association of Reiki delivering Voice Workshops in not only the Czech Republic but also Holland and Norway.
In 1992 Annie met Roger LaChance (a Psychotherapist from Arizona) and trained with him in Norway and the USA in "Release Work" - a fast way to release emotional debris that can undermine a person’s confidence and ability to achieve their goals and aspirations.
In 1996 Annie trained on the Vegatest Machine - a way to identify and then address sensitivities and intolerances the body experiences in relation to the food eaten and the influence of their environment. Annie found it especially interesting to understand the emotional reaction experienced when eating some foods eg the relationship between depression and sugar and also how some foods can help to alleviate depression.
(Annie had been successfully treated herself on this machine at the beginning of her 'learning curve', and so had a first hand knowledge of the process and effects )
She continued with her interest in this approach whilst working in psychiatry and introduced the concept of “Food and Mood” (as developed by MIND) to her staff and patients to support them to better manage their own mental health challenges and recovery journey.
Putting it all together
Annie decided it was the right time to put all her skills and talents together to form the exclusive approach she calls "Life-Raft".
She believes that "Life-Raft" provides an opportunity for a person:-
- To climb out of the chaos of their life and obtain a wider view of opportunities ahead.
- To look around for the direction that best fits their hopes for the future
- To plan their pathway forward - establishing appropriate goals with flexibility to adapt their approach when beneficial opportunities occur.
Annie offers individual sessions to support people to identify and achieve their chosen goals.
- The initial session is not only for Annie to understand the challenges facing the client but also for the person to ascertain whether they want to work with Annie.
- After the initial session further regular sessions can be booked.
- 5 subsequent sessions are offered for the price of 4 when paid in advance.
Annie also offers days of adventure, self-discovery and fun called "Sing Your Heart Out"
