Best Stress & Trauma Resolution Therapy Provider NW UK 2023

Jan Normanton • May 8, 2023

I am honoured and humbled to have been awarded this year Best Stress and Trauma Resolution Provider in the North West of England for recognition of my services for mental health for the GHP Mental Health Awards 2023, hosted by the Global Health & Pharma publication.

The Global Health & Pharma publication is a renowned digital magazine and global information sharing platform which hosts an annual award programme for a variety of sectors, including the mental health and wellbeing industry.

Mental health thankfully is being recognised increasingly as a vital constituent to good health and wellbeing and can change people’s lives for the better.

Stress & Trauma Resolution Therapy is a body based therapeutic service I offer that supports release of trauma and stress at source within the nervous system and helps clients undo trauma imprints and stress patterns, to gain relief from challenging symptoms, making way for resilience to grow and so improving their quality of life in every which way - mentally, physically, emotionally, energetically and spiritually.

I am grateful to the GHP Magazine for raising the profile of mental health through this award programme and delighted to make my contribution to mental health through this service I offer.
