RTT®, Rapid Transformational Therapy

RTT® draws on a blend of techniques to give you the tools you need to make positive change. Its roots are drawn from traditional psychotherapy, including Gestalt, solution-focused and cognitive behavioural therapy, hypnotherapy and mindfulness.

Its personalised approach helps you reframe negative beliefs, values, habits and emotions, many carried since childhood and often buried so deeply in the subconscious that we are unaware of how they affect us.

Quieten negative self-talk, approach life in a more positive way and move forward.

Kind words from clients

If I went to Tibet to see a wise woman, sitting at the top of the mountain, a spiritual healer, it would be Jo. It would be worth the climb.

Not only is she first class at reflexology, her infinite wisdom and positivity make the biggest problems feel solvable.

Wendy, a client of many years

After a Body MOT

A week later, I honestly feel amazing. I feel aligned, focused, energised and completely back to myself.

I recently booked in for an MOT with Joanne Bale because the only way to explain it was I just felt out of sorts. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. I wasn’t unwell, but I was lacking my usual energy and just didn’t feel like myself.

The session started with Joanne’s health scan, and I was genuinely amazed. The results were incredibly accurate and highlighted so much about my health, emotions, and the areas I needed to focus on. Everything resonated with me, and I was honestly shocked by how on point it was.

Joanne then guided me through the most incredible breathwork journey, working with everything that had come up in the scan, before finishing with reflexology. I can’t remember the last time I felt so deeply relaxed. For two hours, I felt completely cocooned, able to switch off, reset and simply be. It was pure bliss.

One of the things I loved most was that the scan also identified which supplements my body needed. Joanne recommended Infoceuticals, which I ordered, and she suggested placing my daily affirmations underneath my water bottle so I would remember to say them each day while taking my supplements. Such a simple but powerful practice.

I genuinely believe I look after my health and wellbeing, but this MOT has been an absolute game changer. It’s so much more than a treatment. It’s a complete reset for your mind, body and soul.

If you’ve been feeling “off” but can’t quite explain why, I can’t recommend Joanne highly enough. Our health truly is our greatest wealth, and investing two hours in yourself is one of the best gifts you can give yourself.

More than a job, a way of life

I’m Joanne, a Natural Health Practitioner. My work brings together Bioenergetics, Breathwork and Reflexology with nurturing face and head treatments, to support you through stress, burnout and life’s changes.

I’m training as a breathwork facilitator with Grounded Breathwork, and I believe in receiving as well as giving. You can’t pour from an empty cup, and self-care isn’t a luxury; it’s part of the practice.

Most mornings begin with a walk in nature with my two dogs. Fresh air, mindful breathing and simply slowing down are some of our greatest healers, and that same unhurried calm is what I want you to feel in every treatment.
