Elevated Therapy International 

Many people have asked me why I named my work “Elevated Therapy ®”. 

It`s a strange story but back in the early 1990`s, I wanted to have a service name that fully represented my work other than my own name.
I wanted it to be original, strong, suggestive and inherently distinctive.

My work and help is practiced on a Mind, Body and Spiritual level. The Body through Hands on Healing and Reiki, the Mind through Psychotherapy and Hypnosis and the Spirit through my Metaphysical Science work, therefore it can be seen as combination therapy or polytherapy.

Applied on a Mind, Body or Spiritual level through a combination of eclectic modalities (Elevated Therapies ™) as I have always personally called them as far back as I can remember is what it is about. I can recall that when I was doing my clinical hypnotherapy training back in 1994 in London and when hypnosis was new to me, I was really surprised and delighted that I found it to be so spiritual. 
The trainer at the time, a lady called Ann was surprised at my spontaneous comment as she was training from a purely clinical perspective when I referred to it as an "Elevated Therapy ®" with a smile. An Irish student called Claire thought this was a lovely term and agreed with me of how spiritual she found hypnotherapy too and what a nice way to describe it.

When I wanted to find a service name, I felt it appropriate to find a simple and singular name that was practically the same as this or almost identical to what I always called these modalities. I wanted the name to be spiritual in nature and represented the world of eclectic and polytherapy too and one that suggested addressing people`s individual therapeutic or psycho-spiritual therapeutic needs at a higher level for healing and empowerment.
I was rattling my brains and couldn`t find one. I didn`t see the obvious ! It was here already !

Being a deeply spiritual and non-religious person, I asked Spirit to help out and show me the name or confirm it to me or make it known to me in some way.
I then looked out for signs in my life to show me or confirm the name. Was it to be the singular "Elevated Therapy ®" as I had always personally called the different approaches I trained in and use `Elevated Therapies`™?  Intuitively, I kept thinking it should be but I ignored my intuition.
Over the coming days I kept seeing the name “Elevated” randomly everywhere... in books, newspapers and information, words or ideas that leapt out at me from television or movies. I was hearing the word in the words of others, both in conversations overheard and words spoken directly to me in people`s communication.

When this happened I was becoming more confident about the name `Elevated Therapy ®` because of its singularity, its familiarity, its directness to therapy as a working therapist, its uniqueness, strength, simplicity and sense of combination of a number of approaches and felt this was a sign, but I still wasn`t completely sure.

I was thinking that perhaps they were random "coincidences" and "serendipities" and not altogether meaningful synchronicities. 
I needed to employ both my logic as well as my intuition here. Sometimes, a very unusual combination of details can be random and happenstance and at other times, seemingly banal experiences can be full of deeper and sublime spiritual meaning but I wasn`t sure.

The only way for me to really "know" was by checking how the experience felt deep within me. I decided to do a meditation on this and through that - it did feel right for me !

However, I was still somewhat doubtful and equivocal at the time all those years ago - a real `doubting Thomas` and still looking for confirmation or final validation – this was so important to me !

I then decided what I wanted the final sign to be which would affirm and ratify the singular name "Elevated Therapy ®" for me.

I asked for a dream confirming the name “Elevated Therapy ®” in some way for my work.

This happened that night in a dream which I didn`t expect at all so soon. In the dream, I was levitating and flying and talking with people in the air, rescuing and helping them as appropriate and I woke the following morning knowing for sure from that symbology and significance that my work and service name must be called “Elevated Therapy ®” and it was and that continues worldwide today and I am most grateful for it. 

The Elevated Therapy ® website went up on the internet around 1998 where I was using the Elevated Therapy Mark text everywhere on it and put up the ™ sign against it then.

Then I filed for a Registered Trademark ® on 15th August 2006 which was granted on 6th February 2007, Trade Mark Number: 2429899. Details here.

I subsequently did the same for the Coat of Arms which was originally commissioned and Registered in County Kilkenny in Ireland in April 2002. Trade Mark Number: 2445736.
