    Calm Kids, Calm Minds

    Coaching Therapist & Healer
    Multiple Areas Mob: 07949 171439
    My name is Denise Davis and I am a qualified Coaching Therapist and Healer and I offer various complementary therapies to help you regain control over your life, optimize your potential and achieve your goals.

    I help people to:

    • make a difference in their lives
    • become well-balanced
    • be in control of their emotions

    Through life people encounter many issues that hinder them one way or another: traumas, emotional problems, unwanted habits and fears, all of which can be overcome with the techniques I use so that you can have a calm mind. I believe there is usually a reason behind a person’s behaviour, and with my techniques I can help them discover this and have more control of their negative emotions and physical pain to become calm.

    I have been invited quite a few times as a local specialist on BBC Three Counties radio and also on other radio stations discussing topics such as fears and phobias, relaxation, divorce, stress relief techniques, dyslexia and healing .I have also played the Gongs with friends on Heart fm as form of relaxation, Peterborough Cathedral as a Sound Therapy session plus at other venues.
