The Primary Balance

The Primary Balance

The Primary Balance

The Primary Balance is the concept that each of us has the potential to live a healthy, positive and enriching life. That we are created in physical, emotional and spiritual balance and have the ability to achieve unlimited success and happiness.

The goal is to work with you to find your balance and reach your maximum potential using Hypnotherapy, Reiki, Quantum Healing EFT and performance coaching. To give you the tools to develop your own path.

Gayle Nielsen is a Certified Master Hypnotherapist through NATH (National Association of Transpersonal Hypnotherapists), Doctoral Candidate in Clinical Hypnotherapy with American Holistic University, a Kundalini Reiki Master and ordained minister with The Living Spirit Foundation. She is a practitioner of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and of Quantum Touch as well as a martial artist and instructor for over 20 years. Gayle also has career experience as a Six Sigma corporate trainer with a former Fortune 100 company.

Her certification in Past Life Regression and Life Between Lives Therapy will assist you in your personal, spiritual exploration and in reaching a higher level of consciousness. Maybe you just want to satisfy your curiosity about a life path or find out how to improve your relationships with others.

Whether it’s smoking, weight loss, sports attainment, insomnia, phobias or anxieties, spiritual exploration or curiosity, she will work with you to eliminate the obstacles to achieving your goals.

Transpersonal Hypnotherapy

The term “transpersonal”, as used in Transpersonal Hypnotherapy, may be defined as “experiences in which consciousness transcends the boundaries of the personality (and maybe space and time)”. The Transpersonal Hypnotherapist seeks the integration of body, mind and spirit with the goal of expanding self-awareness.

Relaxation Classes

A typical class begins with some gentle Qigong movements and yoga stretches to get energy flowing and begin the relaxation mindset. Then we typically move into some physical stress reduction techniques and progressive relaxation along with breathing patterns. Guided visualizations and brief meditations are taught as well as auto-hypnosis (self-hypnosis).

You are given many tools with which to reduce or eliminate stress in your life - you choose the ones that work for you.
