Ask your host if we can help with your particular health issue, (over 60 health issue specifics covered).
Session One: A series of very personal questions to establish your belief system. Let’s establish where you are at. This is a session of real reflection.
Session Two: The Holistic cause and cure of your particular issue or illness explained. By establishing your beliefs, (session one) we now explain how and why this must change for your illness to lift. Session two is the essence of holistic healing.
Session Three: Real Self Esteem Explained. Unlike the popular success model we will show you how your worth is measured accurately. This is a great lesson to be shared with children. When you feel you are “not worth much” this will completely change your mind.
Session Four: Meditations and affirmations for your particular health issue. We will explain the correct usage of Meditation and dismiss many new age systems and explain the science behind ancient eastern practice. A recap on what you have learnt so far, ensuring clear understanding. Then together with your life coach design your meditation, and then be guided through it. You’re to keep forever.
Session Five: If you have a second health issue, (besides the primary we are treating) you can book a session five where we go back into the holistic causes and cure of your secondary health issue.
Others sessions available:
Mindfulness Explained: Your Life Coach will take you in detail through the real purpose of mindfullness and what actually is happening in your Brain. What the goal of meditation is and will take you through a small and long session to get you into practice. Meditation using breath and body scanning will both be explained. Minimum three sessions are recommended here to reinforce technique. A must for guests overcoming depression, anxiety or alcohol issues.
Best Worst Scenario Mapping: Another technique from Cognitive Behavior Therapy that helps you to prepare for outcomes and to minimise stress with your reactions to events.
Last Session: A recap of any others sessions you may have done. The Life Coach will ensure your full understanding of everything you have learnt with Fountainhead and with you plan your return home. Together you will discuss how you were looking at life prior to your visit and what new ideas you now have in your arsenal of Wisdom.
Life Coaching after you Return Home
After you return home with your new wisdom you may still need someone who understands your new found philosophy to talk to. You may book from 5-10 life coaching sessions by phone, (each call minimum 30 minutes but up to 1 hour) with a Fountainhead Method Trained Life Coach. You may then access these sessions at a pace you decide. You may spread these over 10 days to 10 months. This is very helpful at integrating the message after you leave us and return home.
