Change your mind, Change your life
Treating the mind, body and spiritSanctuary Healing Centre
Welcome to Sanctuary Healing Centre
Just observing the truth about yourself without judgment or spin will begin to change you. It's well-nigh impossible to see yourself more and more clearly while continuing to act without integrity or in contradiction to your life's real purpose. Eventually you may come to see what Marianne Williamson meant when she said,
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us."
To see your truest nature is to recognise that you have a capacity for goodness far greater than you ever dreamed, with all the awesome responsibility that entails. It's a difficult proposition, but in the end, the view makes it all worthwhile.

Counselling
- Relationship
- Family
- Youth
- Trauma
- Empowerment
There’s a popular and very true saying that goes something like this – ‘if you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got’ – which is why – if we want to get something different – we must look to the future instead of drawing on past experience.
Sanctuary embraces a professional and confidential approach having a foundation in ethical, moral, and spiritually centred therapeutic counselling... a personal and individualised framework of support and attention to the whole person.
Our ultimate goal for those entering into counselling is not to specifically fix their problem, but rather help them search through their present chaos and guide them to hope and truth.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is one of the fastest growing and widely used branches of the healing arts. Hypnotherapy provides access to all your inner resources, which you may or may not know. It helps with solving problems and reaching goals more easily.
Hypnotherapy works great for:
- Fear and anxiety
- Smoking
- Weight Loss
- Trauma, emotional tension
- Childbirth
Reiki
Reiki is an ancient technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. If one’s life force energy is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it our energy is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include body, emotions, mind relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.
Meditation
Resting the mind has a dramatic effect on brain activity. When the brain moves into an alpha wave state, many physiological changes occur, starting with the autonomic nervous system. One of the main roles of the autonomic nervous system is to regulate glands and organs without any effort from our conscious minds.
The autonomic nervous system is made up of two parts, called the sympathetic and the parasympathetic. These systems act in opposite yet complementary ways: the sympathetic nervous system ‘revs’ the body, while the parasympathetic calms it down. Chronic stress or burnout can occur when the sympathetic nervous system dominates for too long.
During an alpha wave state, the parasympathetic half of the autonomic nervous system comes to the fore. This results in lowered blood pressure and heart rate, a reduction in stress hormones and slowed metabolism. If meditation is practised regularly, these beneficial changes become relatively permanent.
Research combining current technological innovations (magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI) and the talents of long-term meditators has revealed marked changes in both brain function and structure. Finding evidence of these types of changes adds Western scientific validation to many of the claims made by advanced meditators for centuries.
Bowen Therapy
A gentle form of body work in which very subtle moves performed over the muscles and connective tissue send messages deep into the body, retrieving cellular memory of a preferred, relaxed, balanced way of wellbeing. Results can be remarkable, even from the first session, often only a few sessions are needed to connect the presenting problem.
About Debra L Speers
I like to consider myself a "Healing Consultant" and in my practice I employ different modalities to assist people in helping their bodies, mind and spirit to heal. It is not me that does the healing; our bodies are always trying to maintain an optimal state of health. However, due to unhealthy lifestyles, trauma, wrong treatment or just plain unlucky circumstances, our bodies, mind and spirit need assistance.
Debra L Speers has forty years experience in healing modalities and offers a holistic approach to your wellbeing.
