!New Somatic Class Location!

I run a unique somatic class based on verbally guided exploration of movement to help people move past pain, deepen their mind body connection and improve their movement patterns.

It really is suitable for all ages and abilities and after some requests I have booked the Willaston Memorial Hall on Friday evenings starting next year.

This is a brand new location for me so if you have connections there I would really appreciate shares and tags to help the local community find me....and I would love to connect with any other business in the area too.

I am a somatic hypnotherapist and personal trainer based in Wallasey and Ellesmere Port and I honestly spend very little time on facebook. So it is better to find me on whatsapp or join my mailing list, both of which will be linked in the comments.

Huge news!

Wirral hypnotherapist and neurological biomechanics coach shortlisted in four categories across two national business awards.

Leanne Salisbury, founder of Neon Life Academy, has been named a finalist in four categories across two national awards: The UK Women's Business Awards and the UK Small Business Awards.
At The UK Women's Business Awards, Leanne has been shortlisted for the Innovation Award for her revolutionary Internal Company therapeutic concept, and Neon Life Academy has been shortlisted for Health and Wellbeing Business of the Year. At the UK Small Business Awards, Neon Life Academy is a finalist for Best Small Business, and Leanne is also a finalist for Female Entrepreneur of the Year.

The recognition celebrates Leanne's commitment to delivering high-quality somatic hypnotherapy work and the positive impact her practice has made to those working through transformational journeys.

Speaking on The UK Women's Business Awards, a spokesperson said: "The standard of entries this year has been incredibly high. Each finalist has demonstrated an exceptional level of dedication and achievement, representing the very best of UK small businesses."

"I am incredibly honoured and proud to be recognised as a finalist in four categories," said Leanne. “I left a 15-year career as a biomedical scientist to build something to allow people to take back their power both in mind and body, and I did it while raising a teenager on my own. It is incredibly important to me that people enjoy their life and I do everything I can to show people that it really is possible for them no matter their past or current struggles. To be recognised as both a founder and a business, by two different awards, means a huge amount. I built this work by blending hypnotherapy, somatic and neurological work with a good dose of play, and it is lovely to see that approach noticed nationally, particularly with the Innovation Award nomination. It belongs to every client and community member who has trusted me with as I continue to develop alongside each of them."

The UK Women's Business Awards will take place on 18 December 2026 at The Eastside Rooms in Birmingham, and The UK Small Business Awards on the 19th December 2026. It will be a huge weekend for Neon Life Academy as all the finalists from across the UK will come together at each awards with the National Top 10 revealed live on stage and live-streamed worldwide for those unable to attend.

About Neon Life Academy:
Neon Life Academy is a somatic hypnotherapy and neurology based biomechanics practice based on the Wirral, founded by Leanne Salisbury, a GHR registered hypnotherapist and GHR-accredited clinical supervisor with an MSc in Biomedical Science and nearly 15 years of experience. Using hypnotherapy, somatic and neurology work together as one integrated approach, the practice offers 1-2-1 sessions and, through its playful sister brand Give It Some Welly, group classes, workshops and an online membership, all built around the Internal Company framework: the idea that we are a company of interconnecting parts, and that healing means stepping back into the CEO chair with a joyful giggle.

Coming in 2027 a new set of somatic classes is coming to Willaston Village Hall to complement the classes running in Wallasey and allow more people across Ellesmere Port and The Wirral access.

It's official...I'm going to do an 8 week foundational series of ATM starting Mondays at 6pm in a stunning Ellesmere Port venue with heated floors 🤌😆

It will cover all movement systems and if you can't make any of the dates, no problem, as I'm going to also give lifetime access to the Audios through the Welly membership included in the cost.

I'm also thinking of offering an online live option if you want to join but can't make it physically, so let me know if that appeals.

Cost will be £99 or if you book before I go on my hols on the 13th its £80 as I would really like to have it filled before then 😆

There are only 8 in person spaces available and you can secure your place on the link below

✨️My name is Leanne and I'm a Somatic Hypnotherapist living in the northwest of England with my 2 dogs and cat

✨️I've been doing this work for almost 15 years now and I absolutely love it. I spent my first few years working as a scientist and felt so stuck so I still pinch myself that this is my life now

✨️I think the mind body link and good communication between the two is once of the most important resources we have, and it's rarely nurtured

✨️Somatics is not a technique or a method. It's not a fitness class, breathwork, dance, or *shudder* a weight loss tool. Cherry picking tools and standardising protocols is colonial white appropriation watering down the power of true embodiment

✨️ Our subconscious mind is one of the most powerful tools we have to influence all that we have and do, and all that we do not have and do

✨️ I mostly work 121 online and in person but I also have an online membership hub Give It Some Welly ... this is a place for people to access audios, courses and try things out like doodling and these brain games you see in the video

✨️I never used to have friends, hobbies or a life that made me smile, all that has changed through learning this work and applying it to myself every day. I live and breathe mind body communication and nurture my own connection every day

✨️I'm writing a book...🫣🤫

✨️ I think fun and joy is the missing link and make mission to always help you remember the whimsy, no matter what we're working through

So nice to meet you!

Most people think hypnotherapy is about swinging pendulums and mind control - but it's actually about accessing the most powerful resource you have and giving you BACK control.

That resource is your subconscious mind and in somatic hypnotherapy, I go bevond just changing and releasing beliefs by inviting your body into the process.

Why? Because your nervous system plays a key role ir how you store and express your memories, beliefs, and experiences.

That storage and expression is responsible for many of the reasons people reach out for help for in the first place.

You don't ask for help to work on a core belief. Often, vou don't even know what that is. You come because of effect and impact that belief is having on you in your life.

For example, your presenting issue is that you're not sleeping and it's having what you think is a knock on effect with vour abilitv to step up at work and manage your emotions at home with the kids... but the problem is not your sleep.

The real thing we need to work on is your belief that you need to be perfect. That core belief is keeping you up. It's stopping you from putting yourself forward at work. It's stopping you from trusting your judgment at home.

Under hypnosis, where your body feels safe, and your subconscious can be accessed, both become more open to altering beliefs and rewiring old patterns allowing for a true and complete resolution

It's not magic. It's science, and it's powerful

You don't need to know what the core belief issue is, that's something we can uncover together....if you're ready to?
