ABOUT 

About 

Snowdrop House in Shrewsbury, was originally created as a well-being clinic, specialising in Mindfulness, NLP Coaching, Clinical Hypnotherapy and Exercise. The clinic helped people overcome mental health issues, such as anxiety, stress, low mood, trauma, PTSD, fears and phobias.  
 
In 2020, the world changed. Like so many of us, Snowdrop House needed to change and evolve with theses challenging times. Whilst there was still demand for services, it became harder to run mental health sessions for clients.  
 
Luckily, the activity sessions were able to continue online and as lockdown eased, classes started outdoors again, keeping clients mentally and physically well. There are always plenty of smiles from the groups, everyone is made to feel more than welcome.  
 
Snowdrop House teamed up with a gift company in 2019, they created a range of well-being gifts, designed to spread kindness and help people during challenging times. 
 
 

With a background in both corporate life and specialist nursing care, Christina brings a unique combination of skills and experience to her well-being practice.

In Christina's own words: 

"20 years of my career were spent within the health care industry, with many years fulfilled in the rewarding position as a specialist Maxillo-Facial Nurse, I worked with head and neck cancer, and trauma patients at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford, my work came to a natural end during restructures within the health service. I was ready for a fresh challenge and took on a new role within a corporate environment, it was within that high pressured corporate world, where I worked as a Managing Director of construction company, I noticed that stress levels ran high not just in myself, but with my colleagues and professionals amidst my network. On top of the work-life stresses, I experienced some close family bereavements in a short space of time, which made me reevaluate what was truly important to me. I realised, that I was missing the nursing and caring aspect of my previous career, so felt keen to maintain an involvement in something where I could help people overcome the stresses of modern life and make positive changes, that's when I began my training as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Mindfulness teacher, NLP Coach and Fitness Instructor." 
“On my search for the right solution to manage the daily work and life stresses in effective and positive ways, it was through Mindfulness, that I was able to achieve this. I spent some time learning how to be mindful, it was one of the most important practices that I have brought into my life, I am more efficient, relaxed and in tune with my work and day to day life, I now have the ability to manage stress in a more positive and helpful way, this was the start in gaining my qualification as a Teacher/Practitioner in Mindfulness .” 
 
“NLP Coaching, enabled me to get the best out of myself and my team, it enlightened me to new ways of communicating., and greatly helped with my own personal development. I felt that with the use of helpful NLP tools, positive modifications could benefit so many areas in life whether it be on a personal level, sports performance or work life, I wanted introduce this way of seeing the world, to so many others, whether it be within a corporate environment or just on a personal level, to be able to help people find a direction and get the most out of life is one of the most rewarding things I have done.”

I am now exercising more, I've reduced my alcohol intake and improved my diet. I now focus on my achievements and I am so much happier, which was my goal. I cannot thank her enough." 
 

NLP Coaching 

Most coaches will use elements of NLP or Neuro-Linguistic Programming. The term NLP can sound intimidating, but in simple terms it's a way of changing the way we think, act and feel, partly by changing the language we use. 
 
Essentially, we learn patterns of behaviour through our life experiences, and these patterns don't always serve us well. So by changing these behavioural patterns, this can make it easier for us to reach our goals. 
 

What will you get from NLP Coaching? 

There are many benefits to having a regular session with a coach. For a start, you will have someone there who can listen to you and ask you the right questions to help you to find the answers that you need. 
 
You'll feel more able to get in touch with your own values and beliefs, helping you to set achievable goals and move forward. You may also find that you benefit from a boost in confidence as you start to use different language and begin to think and feel differently. 
 

What can NLP Coaching help with? 

This kind of coaching can help with: 
Wellness 
Work-life balance 
Achieving and exceeding personal and professional goals 
Supporting and empowering positive changes 
Business, career and corporate achievements 
Sports and athletic performance 

Why go to an NLP Coach? 

If you feel like you lack direction, or perhaps you know what you want to do but you struggle for motivation, then coaching is a good way to start making progress. 
 
You will learn how to manage the way you feel and use the power of your mind to overcome things that are holding you back. It may be that certain situations, places and things generate negative associations for you, and that by tackling these you are able to take a step forward.

Sports Performance 

We know that top athletes benefit from the input of elite coaches. They might have someone to develop their training plan, someone else to ensure they're getting the right nutrition and another specialist to ensure they avoid injury. 
 
But the really successful sportspeople and teams, the ones that are at the very top of their game, have a coach that helps them with the psychological side of their sport. 
 
One of the most famous recent examples of this is Dr Steve Peters, author of The Chimp Paradox, who coached the British cycling team to win four gold medals on the track at the London Olympics in 2012. 
 
Peters talks about an irrational, emotional side of the brain that needs to be trained so that destructive feelings such as fear of failure don't take over and ruin your sporting performance. This is exactly what we tackle with sports performance coaching. 
 

Who can benefit from sports performance coaching? 

Whether you're competing at a high level, or you're an amateur who enjoys your sport and wants to get better, it's widely recognised that the mental side of sport is just as important as the physical side. It can make the difference between winning and losing, and have a big impact on whether you reach your goals. 

How will sports performance coaching help? 

The key benefits of this coaching are: 
 
• Increased motivation 
• Mental stamina 
• Greater confidence levels 
• Higher quality training sessions 
• The ability to get into the right state before and during your next event 
Sports performance coaching will help you to stay calm before and during competitions, and enable you to maintain your focus at critical moments. We will teach you to rehearse mentally and visualise your events ahead of time, giving you a much better chance of performing at the level you're capable of. 
 
If you'd like to find out how we could help with your particular sports competitions or fitness goals, please call 07807 991251 or email info@snowdrophouse.co.uk today. 

Stop Feeling Lost 

It's very common to get to a point in life where, even if you appear outwardly successful, you feel lost and lacking in direction. It may be that you feel you're on the wrong path, or that you'd like to make a change, but you don't know what you want to do next. You may feel hopeless or not good enough and this may be holding you back from embracing the future and finding the right path. 
 

 Changing negative thought patterns 

If you've been telling yourself that you're "not good enough" for some time, or if you have other negative thought patterns in your head, then NLP coaching can make a massive difference to how you think and feel. 
 
We will work together to get to the bottom of your feelings and understand what is holding you back. Then we can challenge your negative thought patterns, giving you the power and motivation to change your life and find direction and purpose.

"I booked a session with Christina for my teenage son who was having anxiety issues ahead of his exams and around going away from home.  
Just one session with Christina has had a big impact on both my son and myself. Christina gave us techniques to remain calm and to deal with anxiety and stress. 
Her manner is very reassuring and calm – and she quickly built a good rapport with my son, who opened up honestly to her about his feeling and concerns. It was the first time either of us has done any hypnotherapy but I feel the experience has been completely life changing for us both. We cannot thank Christina enough." 

“I began seeing Christina when I felt that I needed gaining control of my life back, I was nervous that I would be laughed at for some of the things I went to see Christina about, but she made me feel completely at ease as soon as I walked through the door. There was a comfortable atmosphere and I felt that I could tell Christina anything I needed to, I felt completely safe and relaxed. During the sessions I've had, Christina has always been supportive, helping with many issues with messages through the week to see how I've got on. Would recommend to anyone :) xx” 

"I’ve wanted to lose weight, improve my core strength (as I suffer from lower back problems), and become fitter for a long time. Due to my irregular work schedule, it’s difficult for me to join any clubs, and I have no desire to join a gym, as my lack of motivation would lead to me not actually going. 
Christina encouraged myself and a couple of friends to create a small workout group. We get together in a garden at varying times to suit us all. She focuses safely and professionally on our individual needs, injuries and wishes, and appropriately tailors each session. She also adapts to our varying demands on time. Christina has created numerous different workouts has been extremely encouraging, fantastically flexible, supportive, and makes each session different and fun!! No 2 sessions have been the same! 
We’ve been exercising together for a few months, and I truly love our sessions! It’s fab doing our workouts outdoors! We’ve all become stronger, fitter, more motivated, and we all support each other, and have a great giggle too!"
